Cover letters have always been very difficult for me. I
paid to have one done for me and it did generate interviews
for me. However, it is rather generic and I have always
heard that you should tailor it to the school. I've been
teaching since 1998 and have had very few gaps in my
teaching career, none for more than a school year during
which I subbed at the same school almost every day. Due to
my spouse's military career I have been employed at several
different schools. I've never had much trouble getting a
job but it has always been a bit of a mystery what exactly
caused the hiring committees/administrators to decide to
hire me.

I've been trying to move from my special education position
back to a general education position in a different
district but I can't seem to find the magic combination
this time.

I've been reading school websites and SARCs here in
California but I have not been able figure out how to
tailor the information to each school. It seems that almost
every school wants someone experienced in teaching ELLs,
differentiation, and technology.

Any advice?
