Parkview educator receives WAAE award Tjark Sattler, agricultural educator at Parkview School District received the Outstanding Young Member award from the Wisconsin Association of Agricultural Educators (WAAE). Sattler was presented this award at the WAAE Professional Development Conference held in La Crosse, WI from June 23-27, 2019. According to the WAAE press release, “The WAAE Outstanding Young Member award program was designed as a means of encouraging young teachers to remain in the profession, as well as recognize participation in professional activities. WAAE members who have completed at least three years of teaching, but not more than five years, are eligible to apply for this award.” Sattler was nominated by the other Ag teachers in Section 5 (Rock, Dane and Green County) and had to complete an application. The applications were scored by the Wisconsin Association of Agriculture Educators Board. They chose one section winner from each section and those ten winners competed for the award.
High School Principal wrote a letter of recommendation for him as part of the application. Parkview FFA membership has grown by 393% and students are volunteering over 1,000 hours annually to community service projects. Of the twelve courses offered for students in the ag education program, two are science credit equivalent, three are articulated with Blackhawk Technical College; and students enrolled in Welding can complete a career safe OSHA Welding Training Certificate. “One of the best ways to build a successful future is to educate students well,” says Becky Wirkus, 2018-19 WAAE president. “Dedicated agricultural educators, such as Tjark, help students build real-world skills, learn emerging technology content, develop workplace skills, and utilize intrinsic motivation and critical thinking skills to solve real-world problems.” *Some information in this article including the quotes, were taken from the WAAE’s June 27 press release.
