Dear Hiring Coordinator,
My Bachelor of Arts in History from The Ohio State University, my active Ohio Substitute Teaching License from the Ohio State Board of Education, and my current BCI and FBI background check clearance are all on file and ready to verify. I am writing to ask for a spot on the call list for Maple Grove Community School District. Subbing means stepping into a room you have never seen and keeping the day on track, and after four years across two Columbus-area districts that is the part of the work I have gotten good at. When a plan is sitting on the desk I run it, and when no plan is waiting I find the objective the class was working toward and keep the room moving.
In my current role with Columbus City Schools, I cover an average of 18 assignments per month across grades K-12, often accepting jobs through the Frontline Education Absence Management app with under one hour of notice. I execute teacher-prepared lesson plans in math, ELA, and science for classes of 22 to 30 students, and I apply each school's behavior system, including ClassDojo and posted classroom rules, to keep transitions calm. During three long-term assignments of four to eight weeks at Westerville City Schools, I built original lesson plans aligned to Ohio Learning Standards, managed a 28-student section in Google Classroom, and graded weekly assessments to keep students on pace.
A coordinator needs a sub who shows up, holds the room together, and hands the day back to the returning teacher in good shape, and I bring conflict de-escalation and a current First Aid and CPR card from the American Red Cross to that on every assignment. I can take day-to-day coverage on short notice and step into longer placements when a teacher is out for weeks. References from the building principals I have worked under are available, and a phone call or email is the quickest way to add me to your roster.
