Ms. Shiela Black


HR Officer Elementary Teachers
P.O. Box 420
Lindsay, ON K9V 4S4
Dear Ms. Black:
Please accept the enclosed application for a Junior/Intermediate teaching position
with the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. As a teacher, I believe that I am able
to help my students prepare academically and socially for their futures as global
citizens. I am certain that with my abilities as an educator and my combination of
experiences I will be an asset to your students education. My diverse teaching
qualifications and passion for lifelong learning is what I believe would contribute
positively to your students educational and life experiences.
The TLDSBs mission statement to provide an education specific to students needs
aligns with my philosophy of teaching. Teachers do more than deliver content they
foster academic success and personal growth of their students. Acknowledging sociocultural, economic, linguistic, and familial backgrounds in the classroom is
instrumental in giving meaning to the curriculum. Through station work I promote a
safe and inclusive learning environment where students develop independence
through choice. This strengthens their sense of community and reinforces values
important to the school board.
My inspiration to pursue a career in teaching began with my enthusiasm for lifelong
learning. I have many volunteer, extracurricular and coaching experiences that
enhanced my love for teaching. Following graduation, I accepted my offer to pursue a
Master of Teaching at OISE. In January 2016, I accepted a position as a supply
teacher at Voice Integrative School. This experience has provided me with crucial
exposure to global education, and well as fundamentals such as differentiated learning
according to student needs and the curriculum. Upon graduation, I plan to complete
my Special Education Part 1 and Primary Division qualifications to become a wellrounded educator in the TLDSB.
My Masters of Teaching research paper focuses on the importance and implementation
of proactive prevention programs for cyber bullying built into the curriculum and
becoming part of the fabric of daily classroom learning. Through this study, I am
gaining a deeper understanding of how educators can positively be proactive rather
than reactive. I have already had the opportunity to implement what I have learned to
date in my current teaching practice and plan to continue to add to my practice.
My commitment to culturally responsive pedagogy, practicing equity, and creativity in
content delivery would make me a great addition to the TLDSB community. I bring a
solid foundation in leadership, training and facilitation to this position. I am confident
that my commitment to the success of students with diverse social, cultural, linguistic
and academic backgrounds will be assets to your school board. I appreciate your time
and consideration, and look forward to meeting with you to further discuss
opportunities with your board. Please do not hesitate to contact me at 705-641-1630 if
you have any questions about my application.

Sincerely,
Katherine Malcolm
