Cover letter ideas!!

Could someone give me advice on my cover letter. I know it needs to be changed but I'm not sure how to make it better!

Please consider me as an applicant for a Special Education teacher at your Elementary School.

I currently possess initial certification in Childhood Education as well as Students with Disabilities for grades 1-6. In addition, I have extended my certification area for dual Early Childhood Education for grades Prek-2.

Throughout this school year, I was a replacement teacher in a 5th grade inclusion classroom at Fairly Elementary School and currently, I am a replacement teacher in a kindergarten classroom.

Please consider me as an applicant for a Special Education teacher at your Elementary School.

I currently possess initial certification in Childhood Education as well as Students with Disabilities for grades 1-6. In addition, I have extended my certification area for dual Early Childhood Education for grades Prek-2.

Throughout this school year, I was a replacement teacher in a 5th grade inclusion classroom at Fairly Elementary School and currently, I am a replacement teacher in a kindergarten classroom. In learning the new Common Core Curriculum, I strive to be an effective teacher by providing thorough lessons that will engage students and spark their interest. Working in an inclusive setting has strengthened my abilities to co-teach during whole group instruction while ensuring that students with special needs are engaged and continuously learning. I successfully educate those with special needs using creative ideas and a variety of styles while adhering to their Individual Education Plan. I collaborate with the classroom teacher on a daily basis to further accommodate their learning needs. I can successfully develop proper, measurable goals for students to achieve successfully. Throughout my teaching experiences, I have grown familiar with IEP Direct and RTIM Direct in both providing documentation and accessing data from previous support staff. Currently, I have implemented the Core Knowledge Language Arts Module in kindergarten and have attended training for the Core Knowledge Math Module in kindergarten. I work hard to build a genuine rapport with my students and communicate with parents effectively. I am very eager to become an integral part of your school district.

I am confident that I will make a significant contribution to your elementary school. I would love the opportunity to interview with you and share my knowledge and passion for teaching. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
