Alabama Teacher of the Year, Ann Marie Corgill: Reflecting and Dreaming
Ann Marie Corgill
On October 30, 2015, Alabama Teacher of the Year Ann Marie Corgill suddenly resigned from her teaching position.
There is a lot to her story.
On November 20, 2015, I traveled to Birmingham, Alabama, to learn of the details behind Corgill’s resignation, and then some. She graciously allowed me to interview her for over four hours.
I produced a series of five posts based upon our conversation:
- Part I: Corgill’s resignation hits the media;
- Part II: Events leading to Corgill’s resignation;
- Part III: Corgill becomes Alabama Teacher of the Year;
- Part IV: Corgill’s years in New York, and
- Part V: Corgill’s encounters with professional bullying.
Even though Part V was the end of my series, I wanted to offer Ann Marie the opportunity to have the final word. So, I invited her to both reflect on my series and discuss her future plans.
The remainder of this post is Ann Marie’s eloquent and detailed response.
