Cover Letter Kate Ramey 1416 NE 21st Ave. #15 Portland, OR 97232 (760) 449-8700 December 10, 2008 Administrator Portland Public Schools 123 NE 9th Ave. Portland, OR 97232 To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to you to apply for a position as a teacher at a high school in your district. I am a recent graduate of the University of Phoenix Online, where I completed a MA in Secondary Education and earned a 4.0 GPA. In the Fall of 2008 I completed a three month-long student teaching experience at Benson Polytechnic High School. During this time I taught freshman English, journalism and sophomore radio broadcasting classes. The position helped me to realize my love for teaching students in an urban setting. I am enthusiastic, organized, have a solid work ethic and am quick to build rapport with colleagues and students. I would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to review my resume and teaching portfolio, which may be found online at www.katerameyteachingportfolio.blogspot.com. Sincerely, Kate Ramey
