Professional Special Education Teacher Cover Letter Sample & Writing Guide

Special education teacher job applications often give you the option to upload a cover letter as part of your application package. Taking the time to include one can go a long way toward establishing your teaching industry credentials; for example, you can discuss your philosophy as a teacher, something you cannot really do in a resume. The professional special education teacher cover letter sample below is an example of an approach you could take. Check out the two sections at the end for more tips as well.

Special Education Teacher Cover Letter Must-Haves

In a cover letter such as the professional special education teacher cover letter sample above, it is always good to explain early on the licensures and endorsements you have. This way the school can be sure it is bringing in for an interview someone who is legally qualified to hold the job. It is best to be clear rather than vague, even if the information is on your resume (and it should be!). Speaking of resumes, avoid restating what it says, and give examples of how you help your students.

Best Action Verbs for a Special Education Teacher Cover Letter

As the professional special education teacher cover letter sample shows, action verbs can spice up a cover letter; since you are applying for a special education teacher job, consider including verbs such as adapted, implemented, conducted, coordinated, guided, communicated, transmitted, tutored, tested, and taught.

Cover Letter Text

Dear Mr. Hookson,

I would bring 15 years of experience teaching children with autism, hearing loss, and emotional disabilities to the special education teacher job posted last week on the district careers website. I am excited about the opportunity to work at Apple Elementary.I am licensed in the state and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in special education-hearing impairment Pre K-12 from John Doe University. My other special education endorsements, obtained from Jane Smith University in recent years, cover the areas of autism, blindness, and emotional disabilities. Your job posting expressed a need for a teacher well-versed in working with students who have multiple disabilities; I am that person. In fact, it is a rare student of mine who has only one disability. My teaching philosophy, however, is to recognize the fact that each child has special abilities and talents. Rather than focusing on the disabilities, I coordinate and adapt lesson plans to draw out and develop students’ abilities. I strive to empower my students, for example, by helping them to take the reins of their IEP meetings. I try to facilitate more parent involvement, and to that end, I hold ASL classes every Wednesday afternoon for family members of my students.I am eager to meet with you soon to discuss the job, as it seems that my expertise could greatly benefit the district. I appreciate the time you have spent to review my application materials.
