I am about to apply for a TLR for a position that I genuinely would love to do. Of course the idea of progression is nice and the extra money would help, but I do think I would enjoy and be good at the role.
I'm in my second year of teaching and haven't applied for a promotion before, so I really don't know where to start with the application letter! The person I will be addressing in the letter is someone I know quite well and am friendly with, so starting with "Dear Mr..." feels odd yet starting with "Dear Sid" seems too informal. Do I just stick to formalities?
Also, how much of my experience is relevant? I have worked on several different school-wide projects but these have always been in collaboration with another member of staff. Will this look like I lack experience?
I think I could be overthinking things, but every time I go to write the letter I just hit a stump. Any advice would be much appreciated!
