Brittany Tennier 244 Elmore Drive Acton, Ontario L7J1T9 (905) 691-3945 [email protected] August 12, 2018 Halton District School Board 2050 Guelph Line Burlington, Ontario L7P 5A8 To whom it may concern, I’m currently entering my second year at Sheridan College, in the Educational Support Program. I am expressing interest for the Supply Educational Assistant position (Job Code: 2576908). After seeing this opportunity posted on the Apply to Education website, I thought I would be a perfect candidate to apply for this position due to my love and joy working with children, combined with the experience I have gained over the last year. The qualifications asked in the Supply Educational Assistant position are what I feel like I can offer to HDSB. I have had opportunity from my placement in the HDSB to engage with students in the school setting while, and understanding the own individual needs every child may require. Being able to use my skill set learned at Sheridan I was able to assess situations with students with autism, and also aggressive behaviour in some situations. I had a lesson in lifting, transferring, dressing, feeding that can also be used when needed while on the job. The Supply Educational Assistant values that we must be wanting to achieve the mission together, inspire and support the learning of students, create a safe, healthy, inclusive and engaging environment for the students. Having been in the school setting I know what this looks like, and how to be the part to help this happen in every school. The one thing I ultimately took away from my placement in the HDSB was from a video watched on a P.A day, and it touched me. The positivity project, where teachers express their feelings to students on how much they are important, inspiring, appreciated, the reason for coming to work. If a student knows you believe in them, it makes a worlds difference. It made me realize that this isn’t just a job, it’s a opportunity to build a relationship and make an experience out of it together, I am a hardworking individual that is dedicated to whatever work that is required. I am available during the 10month school year. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity to further show my enthusiasm for this opportunity during an interview setting. Please feel free to reach me at [email protected] or telephone 905-691-3945 and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely, Brittany Tennier
