About Connor Conklin
Dedicated physical education major at the State University of New York at Cortland, preparing for student teaching and committed to giving lifelong health, teamwork, and active movement for all youth.
My journey in physical education
Based in Cortland, New York, I am pursuing my bachelor's degree in physical education at SUNY Cortland with an anticipated graduation of May 2027. Along this journey, I've noticed my passion lies in creating supportive and engaging environments where students can discover confidence through movement and sports, not only in my class, but for the rest of their lives.
Hands-on experience in action
From leading summer youth programs to teaching placements at Homer Elementary and Corning Middle School, I strive to persuade students to be motivated to have movement and exercise throughout their lives and not just in a school setting. Please explore my professional work and community involvement more in the fieldwork and experience tab.
Qualifications and getting in touch
Certified in Red Cross CPR and trained in student-centered PE, I am eager to connect with mentors, school administrators, and fellow educators. Contact me directly at Connor.Conklin@cortland.edu or call (607) 426-6381 to discuss upcoming student teaching/professional teaching opportunities.
