    I have an Arts degree and would like to work as a substitute teacher. Does anyone have any general guidelines on what you should say in your letter of application?

    I just want to get it right cause I'm going to apply to loads of schools. Thx

    Mine basically went along the lines of stating that I'd just finished my degree, was beginning a postgrad course in teaching in Aug 2008 and that any teaching positions that might arise in their school would give me much valued experience. I told them I was dedicated to a career in Education and would thrive on the responsibility and opportunity to develop teaching skills that I could carry throughout my career. They basically will get you to sub teach if they think you will give it your best shot and its something you want to do and you're not just in it for the money. If you can provide a reference its good but not neccessary.
