Special Education Teaching Assistant Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager,

As a Special Education Assistant with 2 years of experience at elementary school level, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently a part-time Special Education Teaching Assistant at Sunnybank Junior School, where I assist special education teachers in instructing and supervising students with disabilities and ensure a well-organized, smoothly functioning classroom environment. Mirroring your requirements, I prepare instructional materials, set up classroom activities, and supervise students in the gym and playground. I work closely with teachers to establish adaptations and accommodations through individualized planning, and provide ongoing feedback to support student success.

In addition to my experience, I hold a Master of Special Needs Education (Early Childhood) and have completed numerous professional development courses in dyspraxia, dyslexia, hearing impairment, speech impairment, and deaf-blindness in classroom settings.

I have enjoyed my time immensely at Sunnybank. As the school has no full-time positions, I am seeking a new opportunity with another progressive school. After researching your special education track record and parent reviews, I am convinced about our mutual fit.

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

Yours sincerely,

Marc Parker
