Sample Application Letter for Teacher Applicants of DepEd

February 03, 2017

Mylene M. Llego Principal 3 Antipolo National High School, Antipolo

With a burning passion to share my knowledge and experiences, I want to apply for the position of Math Teacher for Junior High school in your institution. My resume is enclosed for your review. Given my related experience and ample capabilities I would appreciate your consideration for this job.

I completed my Bachelor of Secondary Education degree in 2014 and was hired as a Math teacher in a Catholic private school right away.

I have experience teaching junior high school students of different levels for almost 2 years. Given this experience, I can confidently say that I understand how the system works in the state schools and I can do the duties and the responsibilities of a public school teacher.

Before graduating college, I was able to participate and join in different clubs and organisations in our university where I got the chance to practice my leadership and academic skills. I was always elected as one of the officers of the students’ body and our very own school paper.

With the desire to train expose myself early to the challenges of being an educator, I also applied as a part-time Mathematics tutor in Kumon, an institution that provides quality Math and Science lessons to students who are interested in such disciplines. I stayed in the institution for a year and ended my term with a grateful heart. You can refer to the resume enclosed in this letter if you wish to contact my used to be immediate superiors.

Believing that teachers should engage themselves in a life-long learning, I have decided to start taking my graduate studies in Eastern Manila State University last year of 2016. I am now pursuing Master of Arts in Instruction and Supervision (major in Math).

Experience has taught me how to build strong relationships with any departments at an organization. I have the ability to work within a team as well as cross-team. I believe that your school would give me the opportunity to learn more things in my chosen field and that it would hone my teaching skills further.

Should you have queries or need information, you can contact me at +639099353405. I will be available right after you keep in contact with me.

I give you thanks for giving me a chance to serve in your reputed institution.

Yours Sincerely,

Mr. Mark Anthony B. Llego Applicant

How to write a cover letter, a.k.a. a letter of application for a teacher, that convinces the reader to move on to your resume and ultimately land a job interview. To help you, I’ve assembled hard-hitting excerpts from application letters for teaching positions.

Use your academic cover letter to introduce yourself as a professional educator, highlight your hands-on teaching experience, demonstrate your talents and skills, and portray your unwavering commitment to education.

A cover letter for a teaching position should be designed and written to showcase your greatest strengths as an educator. Display concrete examples of how you have actively engaged students, implemented creative lesson plans, and differentiated instruction.

Below you will find excerpts from the various sections that make up the sample application letters for teacher positions: introduction, body, and conclusion (or concluding paragraph).

How to Write an Application Letter for a Teaching Job

Last Updated: December 11, 2023 Fact Checked

Applying for teaching positions can be daunting because of all of the materials you need to submit. Your cover letter is an especially important part of the application since it highlights your best skills. Writing an excellent cover letter can set you apart from other applicants, so it’s important to take your time and write a targeted letter for every application. Start by researching the position and getting all of the necessary information before you start writing. Then, use the intro and body paragraphs to emphasize your qualifications for the job. Conclude your letter by emphasizing your interest in the position and requesting an interview, and don’t forget to revise and proofread before you send your letter to the prospective employer.

Application Letter Template

Gathering Information Before Writing

• For example, if the position is for a Kindergarten teacher, then the position may indicate that you need to have undergone a preparatory teaching program.
• If the job posting is online, you can transfer the text into a word processor and highlight using the highlight tool.

• Make sure to find out the person’s preferred prefix. For example, if the hiring manager is a woman named Nancy Cardigan, ask if she goes by Ms., Mrs., or something else.

Warning : Never write “To whom it may concern” to start a cover letter! This is too informal and it makes your letter seem generic from the start.

• The school’s student population
• Special challenges facing the school, such as budgetary issues or overcrowding
• Extracurricular programs available to students

• For example, if you’re applying for a Spanish teacher position, you might want to mention your study abroad experience that enhanced your Spanish speaking skills, or your additional certification as a TESOL teacher.

Writing the Introduction and Body Paragraphs

• For example, you might list your address as “100 Main Street, Everytown, ND, 12345.”
• Then, after adding a space, list today’s date in long form, such as August 8th, 2019.

• For example, “Mrs. Sherri Mascarpone, Executive Director of Personnel, Sacramento School District, 1000 Johnson Lane, Sacramento, CA, 12345.”

• For example, you might start with “Dear Mr. Rodgers,” and then add a space and begin your introduction.

• For example, you might open with something like, “I’m writing to apply for the Math Teacher position that was advertised in this week’s paper.”
• It’s also a good idea to give the employer some indication of who you are, such as by mentioning where you attended school and when you graduated or expect to graduate. For example, you might follow your first sentence with something like, “As a recent graduate of Universal University’s teacher education program, I am well-qualified for the position.” [6] X Research source

• For example, you might write something like, “I’ve had a broad range of professional experiences that qualify me for the position, including working in the school district as a teacher’s aide while working on my college education, getting the opportunity to tutor at-risk youth in an after-school program run by a local charity, and completing my student teaching at this school.”

• For example, if you mention that you completed one of your student teaching rotations at the school you’re applying to work at, then you might expand on what you learned about the school and its teachers during that experience and how that knowledge would make you a good fit for this position.
• If you mentioned that you hold a special certification, then you might expand on how that could enhance your ability to fulfill the needs of the position to which you’re applying.

• For example, you might include a line about your persistence and refusal to give up on students who struggle with course material, or you might mention that your professors or former employers have praised you for your ingenuity in designing engaging lessons.

Tip : Try to be as specific as possible whenever you talk about your qualifications. Point to professional experiences, certifications, training, and other evidence to support your claims.

Concluding Your Letter

• For example, you might write something like, “Because of my professional experiences and special certifications, I’m very interested in the 7-12 French teacher position at Northwestern Central School.”

• Try saying something like, “Thank you for considering my application! I hope we can meet soon to discuss my qualifications further.” [14] X Research source
• You may also indicate when you’re available or suggest a time and date for an even stronger option. For example, you could say something like, “I’m available to meet in person most weekday mornings and on Friday afternoons.” Or, you could say, “I’m available next Friday afternoon between 1:00 and 4:00 pm if you’d like to schedule an interview.”

• For example, you might write something like, “My cell phone number is (123) 555-1234 and my email is [email protected].”

Tip : You can skip this if you have included this information on your resume.

Revising and Proofreading Your Letter

• For example, if the job posting emphasizes that the ideal candidate should have evidence that their teaching strategies are successful, then you might want to add more detail on the positive feedback you’ve received during teaching observations.

Tip : If you’re a recent graduate or student applying for a teaching position, you might ask your advisor to review your cover letter for you and provide feedback. If they’re unavailable, visit your college’s career development center and ask one of the career counselors to review it for you.

• Not making your letter more than 1 page long
• Describing your skills using action verbs similar to the ones in the job posting
• Avoiding long, intricate sentences that may be difficult to follow

• Try reading the letter out loud to help you spot any errors that you might miss while reading the letter silently.
• Don’t rely on your word processing software to catch errors. These programs are not foolproof for spotting errors.

• If you need to submit the letter electronically, convert it to PDF format.

Dear Ma’am;

Thank you for taking the time to review my application. I am interested in applying for a secondary level teaching position in your school. I am looking to use my degree in Secondary Education major in MAPEH. I acquired my teaching licensed in 2014 and have practiced the profession since then.

Given my experience in St. Scholastica’s College where I have shaped my teaching skills, I know that I am fully competent to fulfill the duties of a teacher in the Department of Education.

I have developed my teaching skills as well as my interpersonal skills as I dealt not just with the students but with the different people who were involved in the school community where I belonged to. I have had many accomplished tasks and activities in the previous institution I belonged to such as social extension activities or community involvement projects.

As a MAPEH teacher, I am proud to say that I can teach each of its area with full competence and knowledge. I want to use my specialty in Music and Arts would be very useful not just in but out of school. I wish to share my talent not only to my students but to my future work colleagues as well.

I am seeking a career that will help me to continue working with people in various ways. I hope you will find that I am qualified for the position you ask to fill.
