Cooperating Teacher,
Hello my name is Cody Sattler and I am from Oakley, Kansas. I am 22 years old and have one older brother named Isaiah. I come from a divorced family, and growing up I lived with my father. While in high school I participated in football, basketball, and track. The enrollment at Oakley High is approximately 200 students and I had 60 students in my graduating class of 2004. My father is a principal at the elementary and middle school in Oakley, so I have grown up around education for the majority of my life. Growing up around education and playing sports made a big impact on why I chose education as a career. I have had some great teachers throughout my education who have shaped me into the person I am today. My experiences with children include working in summer camps and also tutoring children in an after school program. When I graduate from Kansas State University I want to teach in Denver, Colorado where I can hopefully teach in a third or fourth grade classroom. I also have aspirations of becoming a coach someday. I am a huge sports fan and I love the competiveness that sports bring out in people. Growing up in Western Kansas made it very easy to travel to Denver. I really enjoy the outdoors and I love the weather in Colorado. I know teaching is not an easy job and I won’t become rich by being an educator, but it is very rewarding in the end. I look forward to student teaching with you and hope one day I can look back and say I made a difference in a child’s life!
