Teacher Example Letter

Teacher Education Committee

Hannibal-LaGrange University

2800 Palmyra Road

Hannibal, MO 63401

Dear Members of the Teacher Education Committee,

I am writing to request admittance into the Teacher Education Program at Hannibal-LaGrange University. My name is Margie Smith, and I am a twenty-year-old from Hannibal, Missouri. I attended Mark Twain Elementary and then Hannibal Middle School and Hannibal High School. While I was a high school student, I was a member of FCCLA (Future Career Community Leaders of America), Student Council, and FTA (Future Teachers Association). As a member of FTA, I was able to go into various elementary classrooms to help with math groups. It was during these experiences I decided that I wanted to become an elementary teacher.

I have been a member of Immanuel Baptist Church since I was eight years old. In my high school years, I went on several mission trips, helped with Bible School, and assisted with AWANA. No matter what activities I helped with, I always enjoyed working with children. I know that my skills and background can help me to contribute in a meaningful way to the field of education. 

Throughout my years of working with children, I have definitely learned something about myself. I want each child to believe in himself or herself. We all learn in different ways, and no two people are the same. I want a classroom of my own where each child feels like a part of a positive community of learners. Each student needs to feel valued so that he or she can reach their full potential.

In conclusion, I am sure that my background, passion for children, and dedication to learning make me a strong candidate for the Teacher Education Program. I am excited about the opportunity to further develop my teaching skills and to contribute in a meaningful way to the field of education. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to joining the Teacher Education Program at HLGU.

Sincerely,

Margie Smith
