Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Teacher Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I am applying for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Teacher role at [Company Name] because I believe strong, culturally informed learning helps students stay connected to their communities. In my current position I worked with a cohort of 28 students across Year 5 and 6 and significantly improved engagement by integrating local histories and language into the curriculum. I want to bring that practical approach to your school and support staff with clear, respectful pedagogy. I focus on culturally competent teaching, solid classroom management, and accessible assessment strategies. I plan lessons that align with curriculum standards while honouring students’ knowledge and language. I collaborate with community members to shape learning that reflects local contexts and promote meaningful participation. I also use educational tech to track progress and tailor supports without creating extra work for classroom teams. A recent example comes from a project where I co-developed a literacy unit centred on a local community story. We used visual storytelling, oral language activities, and simple formative checks. Students showed stronger reading comprehension and confidence in sharing their interpretations in small groups. The project ran over eight weeks and helped teachers see how culturally grounded tasks can lift engagement and achievement across diverse learners. I am available for discussion about how my experience and approach can fit [Company Name]. I can meet in the coming weeks to talk through the role and next steps. Kind regards, [Your Name]
