Ms. Jean Shaw, Senior Manager
Elementary Recruitment Office
5050 Yonge Street, 2nd Floor
Toronto, Ontario M2N 5N8
Dear Ms. Shaw,
Please accept this as my application for the position of Elementary
Occasional Teacher. I am currently enrolled at Nipissing University
completing my Bachelor of Education in the Primary and Junior division.
I am very keen on continuing my education; I believe that through taking
Additional Qualifications I can only further my skills as an educator. With
that being said the courses that interest me the most are Special
Education, Music Education, Math and Kindergarten. I have had the
privilege of being able to gather a great deal of experience working with
people and more specifically children through holding a variety of
different positions including: swim instructor, outdoor education
instructor, tutor and as a Residence Don and Community Coordinator.
All of these positions have taught me the value of forming being in tune
with the people I am working with, teamwork and the importance of
being prepared. Some of my strengths as an educator are:
understanding the social and emotional needs of students, setting a
positive atmosphere to encourage learning, using positive
reinforcement, being a reflective practioner.
I believe that it is the teachers role to facilitate learning and not to just
impart knowledge on their students. The learning experience should be
centered on students needs and interests while also meeting the
expectations of the curriculum. In order to support this kind of learning I
believe it is essential for the teacher to develop and maintain a
supportive learning community.
Thank you for considering me for this position. I look forward to
communicating with you further and am more than willing to sit down
and talk in person. Please feel free to check out my online portfolio,

Sincerely,
Laura Cameron, OCT Candidate
