Everyone is capable of learning if they apply themselves. My hope as a teacher is to instill a foundation for students to be engaged lifelong learners. It is important that students understand the power that they are capable of wielding by actively participating in their education. A student’s willingness to learn creates an educational environment where they choose to be a teachable student.
My name is Darick Sotelo. I was born in Portland, but my early childhood was spent in Arkansas before my family moved to Seattle. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Education. I’ve been teaching at CKS since 2015. The panther pride extends to my three kids, two of which currently attend and receive an education from CKS. When I’m not teaching in the classroom, I spend much of my time participating, watching, and coaching sports.
