Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Curriculum Development Specialist and Educational Consultant with 5 years of experience working with the Department of Education, I apply with enthusiasm for the above opportunity.

An education leader and influencer with nearly two decades of combined expertise in curriculum development and implementation, teaching, school leadership, and teacher development, I strongly believe that I am the best fit for this position. 

I am deeply familiar with the Department of Education’s mandate to provide educational leadership in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, ensure strategic planning and project oversight, professional learning for teachers, school leaders and others, and work with educational teams to provide high quality curriculum development, implementation, and support. 

I have enjoyed a positive and collaborative partnership with the Department’s Curriculum Services team over many years, and have a robust understanding of the STEM Framework, guidelines, policies, and strategies. For me, this is not just a job – it is an area of unwavering passion. If selected for this position, I am committed to continue driving my strategic vision for STEM education.

Separately, I also work as a freelance Educational Consultant providing training and advice to members of the educational community on new technologies, classroom policies, student achievement, and STEM education. This includes organizing and facilitating seminars, workshops, and events to train educators on effective teaching and assessment strategies, materials, and plans.

Both roles build upon my knowledge and skills as a former K-12 Science and Mathematics Teacher. In addition to my curriculum development, educational consulting, and teaching experience, I hold a Master of Education, a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, and a Certificate in Professional Development Programme - Curriculum Design.

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

Yours sincerely,

Samuel Cohen
