Teaching/coaching application question

quirky75

I applied for a teaching position at my old high school. I had to send them a resume, cover letter, and 3 letters of reference. They just posted a few more job openings, including a coaching position I'm interested in. It asks for a resume (including education and coaching experience/successes) and 3 letters of reference.

I plan to send an updated resume with my playing and (limited) coaching experience. Do I send 3 MORE letters of reference? I don't have any for coaching. How else could I handle this- say in the cover letter I do not have any? Refer them to the letters I already sent in for the teaching position (or send them again?) and make some sort of statement about how the positive things my references said about my teaching could transfer onto the field for coaching?

Also, should I mention the position I already applied for to remind them I put my name in for a teaching job (most of the coaches are teachers at the school also so I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt my chances of getting both spots)?

Thanks for any help/opinions you can give me!

Are you able to get any letters of reference from former teammates that might be able to speak to your sportsmanship?  If not, I would say that you should resubmit the other letters if they provide general statements to your ability to work with kids, etc.

I agree that you should mention your teaching application, briefly. 

Good luck!! my husband will also be starting a coaching job this fall so he is going through a similar process

Where I'm from you apply online, and when you post your resume, references, etc, it is stored. Therefore there is no need to submit your things more than once. I'm sure it's not a big deal to call the BOE and ask what they prefer.
