When you send your resume to the employer without any cover letter, it looks unprofessional and you start getting your negative points there itself. Hence, you must make sure to draft an equally good cover letter as that of your resume.

Now, what is a cover letter and how to draft one? This is a quite obvious question and the teacher cover letter sample below will help you write yours. However, there are certain points one needs to understand before writing your letter and let’s first understand those points.

• Your letter is a brief note about who are you, why are you writing this letter and what makes you eligible for this job position. However, while covering these points you must see to it that your cover letter does not become your resume. Your letter must remain precise, yet cover maximum points that will make the employer go through your resume.
• You must start your letter with your full name, address, contact number and email address. Following this you must mention the date on which you’ll be sending this letter to the recruiter. You must also mention the name of the recruiter and the his/her designation before actually starting your letter.
• After jotting down your and recruiters information, mention the subject you are writing this letter for. Keep the subject short and to the point. In this case it would be, “Application for Teacher Job Position.”
• Following the subject line, the first paragraph of your teacher cover letter must include who are you and what’s making you write this letter. Keep this paragraph short and maximum of 2-3 sentences.
• The second paragraph should include your skills and what makes you think that you are an ideal candidate for this job position. While writing the skills do not mention each and every skill that you have already covered in your resume but only those that will trigger the employer.
• The third paragraph will include information about your current employer and your job responsibilities there. Again keep it short and enticing so that the recruiter opens up your teacher’s resume to know more.
• With the fourth and last paragraph conclude your letter. Thank the recruiter for going through your application and conclude with your signature.

With the above points you must have got a brief idea about the outline and the content to write in your cover letter. Let’s now see the Teacher Cover Letter Sample to understand how exactly it looks like.

Hope the above teacher cover letter sample guides you in writing your own letter. You can copy the above letter for your personal use. However, ensure to make necessary changes.
