To whom it may concern at Richard Edwards School:
I am writing to express my deep interest in the open elementary-level teaching position in your school. As a 2026 graduate of National Louis University, I have student teaching experience in the third grade in Chicago Public Schools. I believe my teaching pedagogy, classroom experience and passion for school engagement make me an ideal candidate and a perfect fit for your school community..
As an aspiring elementary teacher, I acknowledge that my classroom time is limited. However, I’ve found that my passion for (and commitment to) teaching have only grown with every experience. The feeling of getting through to that student who just wasn’t “getting the hang of it,” or helping students achieve their goals, never gets old.
In my teaching experience, I have taught in a third-grade classroom where I was relied upon to lead English instruction for 28 students throughout the term. This challenged me to adopt distinctive teaching methodologies, document all lessons, organize healthy group discussions and mentor troubled students. I had also previously volunteered as a youth camp counselor for a local museum, where I was able to create interactive lessons for a wide variety of age groups.
It is clear that your school strives to engage the whole school community, a mission I would seek to support through my out-of-classroom initiatives. I have lots of experience incorporating service projects into my curriculum. As a student teacher I led a unit for third-graders on plant life, and we volunteered to build a community garden for our school that was harvested for school lunches.
Enclosed is my resume for your review. I welcome the opportunity to discuss with you personally how my skills and strengths can best serve your institution. Please contact me at (630) 200-0104 or megquinn376@gmail.com
Sincerely,
Meghan Quinn
