  To Whom it May Concern:

I am currently an educator with Creative Technologies Academy where I have experience teaching Spanish I, Web 2.0, Modern Business, Leadership Development, Personal Finance, Middle School Leadership, 8th Grade Technology, Yearbook, and a Senior Project class.  Before that, I worked with Pinckney Community Schools where I had the opportunity to teach Spanish fifth through twelfth grades, Study Skills, and Choose to Lead – a community service and leadership class. I look forward to using my knowledge, experience, and professional skills to help encourage students in your district to become the best learners they can be.

In May 2006, I obtained my Bachelor of Arts from Central Michigan University with a Spanish major and Earth Science minor. Through the Michigan State tests for certification, I am able to teach Spanish kindergarten through twelfth grades, and Earth Science sixth through twelfth grades. Before I started teaching, I traveled to South America to enhance my Spanish skills, and then moved to Europe for a year in which I was able to practice Spanish for a short time, but my cultural awareness was greatly widened. Through my tenure at Pinckney Community Schools, I have been given information and professional development experiences that have greatly expanded my teaching abilities. These experiences have been invaluable to my teaching career.

During the 2011-2012 school year, Pinckney Community Schools implemented a one-to-one program.  Students were given a laptop for their use starting in seventh grade.  All classrooms have SMARTboards, and Elmo documentation cameras.  I have had the unique opportunity to be able to teach in a technology rich environment and design lessons and activities that utilize these resources in order to engage students in learning.

Over the past seven years I have been able to not only teach a variety of Spanish courses, but also Study Skills, leadership courses, and a variety of technology classes.  I have also had the opportunity to be part of a sister program with a school in Guatemala, be part of a School Improvement Committee, and School Climate Committee, a Professional Development Committee, and numerous professional development experiences and conferences that have enhanced my teaching abilities. 

I would enjoy the opportunity to meet with you personally. I can be reached by email (trisha.m.rose@gmail.com). I am confident that my teaching skills and experiences will match the requirements of this position. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to meeting with you in the future.

My credentials are available upon request.

Sincerely,

Trisha Rose
