cover letter question

I am applying to a teaching job at a school where I was previously a long-term sub (about 4 years ago). I was there from December through the end of the school year. I am trying to include a few sentences in my cover letter about my time there, something along the lines of how I enjoyed it and would welcome the chance to work there again. Any suggestions on how to word this?

I also have to write an essay type of thing for the same job about why I am interested in this position. Any tips on what to include?

TIA!

Re: cover letter question

  • I'd just be straightforward. Mention when you worked there, what grades/courses you taught, how much you enjoyed it, and how your previous time there shows you would be a good fit for their school.

    No idea about the essay.

  • I both your cover letter and essay, try and make a personal connection to the reader.  Talk about specific experiences at the school.  Do you feel you made a specific impact on a class or student?  Write about that.  Do you think you fit in with colleagues?  Write about that. Also look for opportunities in both your cover letter and your essay, to answer the question: "Why should I hire you"  Best of luck!!
