Dear Sir/Madam:
This is in reference for your job in publishing.
I graduated from Kutztown University with a BS in Education and Rider University with an
MA in Reading and Literacy Education. Currently, I am employed for Brookfield Schools in
Cherry Hill, NJ. Throughout this experience, I have worked extensively with students with
emotional and behavioral needs in the school setting and hospital setting. I have
generated academic, behavior plans and Individualized Education Programs (IEP) with
therapists and administration.
During the years of 2000-2009, I worked as a Special Education Teacher for the Rowan-
Salisbury Schools in North Carolina. Throughout this experience, I have worked in the
settings of inclusion, resource and self-contained classrooms on the middle school level. I
have worked extensively with parents’, faculty and students in designing and creating IEPs,
behavior assessments, as well as academic plans that will benefit student’s performance
in and out of the classroom.
After all these years of teaching, I need a change and considering publishing because of
my previous skills as an educator. My philosophy is to inspire and challenge professionals
to meet high academic standard in an increasingly challenging world.
Please contact me at (704) 798-9283 to arrange an interview at your convenience. I look
forward to talking with you soon.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Prerna Gupta
