Optimistic Shout-Outs
Education in Alabama does have a positive side.
As a teacher in Alabama I've been disheartened by elected officials using their platform to use public education in the state as their bank account, scapegoat, and their way to advance themselves in the politics of the state. This state is full of teachers and others who, despite the rhetoric, love public education and the students of public education and work hard everyday to help students and the system realize potential.
This is a place for recognition of those educators, parents, and yes even elected officials who are advocates of public education students in our fine state of Alabama. I encourage you to contact me with your story. If you know of a teacher making a difference in the state, a parent who supports public education, a statesmen whose passion is public education or anyone who goes above and beyond for our students your /their story belongs here.

Jennifer Williams
Mrs. Williams is a Kindergarten teacher at Central School in Huntsville, Alabama. She is a fabulous teacher. The energy she exhibits all day everyday is amazing to watch. She creates wonder in the eyes of her students and maintains a disciplined environment in which to learn. When her students walk through the building they notice new things weekly because of what they learn about in her classroom. She does all this while raising two wonderful children of her own, raising chickens, taking care of bee hives, and so many other things. She is the newest recipient of the Chiquita Marbury Innovation Award in the state. She truly is an inspiration to teachers and someone a new teacher should look to in their quest to become a truly great educator.
