Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Biology Teacher with 7 years of high school experience, I apply with enthusiasm for this role.

I began my career as a Biology Teacher in Wisconsin before relocating to Germany for 2 years to work as a Science Teacher for an international school. After moving home and completing my Master of Education (Biology), I joined Pentz High School in Ohio as Biology Teacher.

As well as the planning and delivery of high-quality teaching in physical and virtual settings, I am experienced in administering and evaluating assessments in preparation for examinations. I employ a range of traditional and progressive methodology, incorporating experiential learning opportunities whenever possible. 

I see myself as an educator, not just a teacher. I encourage students to question their actions, the way that others live, and how we can use our knowledge to question the choices we make. I foster collaborations with school leadership and fellow teachers that promote a flexible, supportive, and dynamic learning environment. I am delighted by the 93% average pass rate that my classes achieve. 

In addition to my experience and Master degree, I hold a Bachelor of Cellular Biology and am a Google Certified Educator (Levels 1 and 2). 

I have enjoyed my time at Pentz. My decision to leave is solely based on our family’s decision to relocate. After researching your school’s reputation and academic record, I feel confident about our mutual fit.

Please find attached my curriculum vitae for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Stephens
