Dr. Elaine Chen Riverview Middle School
Dear Dr. Elaine Chen, I am applying for the 8th Grade Mathematics teaching position at Riverview Middle School. I create inclusive, engaging lessons and track progress through standards‑aligned unit assessments and growth targets. Previously at Pinecrest Academy, I piloted small‑group interventions that raised math proficiency by 14% for 120 students. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute.
Sincerely, Jordan A. Smith
An application letter communicates interest in a specific opening and maps your experience to the requirements. It combines the clarity of a formal letter with the persuasion of a cover letter. Keep it one page, reference the exact job title and source, and highlight 2–3 achievements that mirror the posting. Include the following: - Header: Your contact details, date, and recipient information. - Salutation: Address a named hiring manager whenever possible. - Opening: Specify the role, where you found it, and a brief value statement. - Body: Align your skills and experience to the requirements using concrete examples and metrics. - Call to action: Express interest in discussing your application and provide availability. - Closing and signature: Professional sign‑off with your name and contact.
