I am interested in applying as a special education teacher with your school and have enclosed my resume for your review and consideration. I have always had such a passion for working with children, especially those with disabilities. Throughout my employment opportunities and educational experiences at NMU, I have enjoyed the chance to work with a diverse group of children, including those with learning disabilities, cognitive impairments, physical impairments, speech and language impairments, ADD/ADHD (OHI), and autism impairments. I have had practice taking individual student’s unique goals, needs, learning styles, and interests into account while creating effective lesson plans and activities to accommodate their learning experience. I am particularly committed to educating children based on their unique needs, which can be seen in my practice with differentiating instruction in both general education and special education lesson plans and settings.  I take my career seriously and I am concerned for the well being of the organization I work for and the students. Although I have strong leadership skills when working with a team, I can also do quality work independently. I am a self-motivated individual and can achieve my own personal goals as well as the goals of the school I work for. You can be assured that I will be a considerable contributor to the successful education and future of your students. I would like to have the opportunity to meet with you personally to discuss how my experiences and skills would benefit your school. Thank you for reviewing my experiences and qualifications. I hope to hear from you soon. Sincerely, Michelle H. Hall
