Elizabeth Who's Teaching Portfolio Cover Letter

Dear Hiring Committee,

Welcome to my portfolio. Inside you will find evidence of my classroom teaching experience, my philosophy of education, and documentation of my university degrees and credentialing.

This year, I completed three professional development activities. I finished the National Writing Project’s Summer Institute, I presented a small group workshop on writing for a staff development activity, and I educated myself about teaching English Learners while preparing to pass the CTEL exam.
