Sample Letter of Intent for Substitute Teacher
If you intend to work as a substitute teacher at an institute where there are no job openings for the said position then, you can write a letter of intent to let them know that your are available.
Letter of intent is just like a cover letter. The only difference is that you will not be writing in response of a job advertisement. So, a letter of intent is written just like a cover letter. It must also be accompanied by a well-crafted resume that tells the hiring manager about your past experience and the skills that you offer in this capacity.
Your letter of intent should demonstrate your knowledge of various teaching methodologies and ability to deal with unfavorable situations in an effective manner. It should also highlight your presentation skills, effective communication and supervisory skills along with ability to discipline and motivate students.
Have a look at the following sample of letter of intent for the position of substitute teacher before you start writing your own.
