LoginThe Metro: Michigan’s Teacher of the Year shares his approach to student engagement
For over 70 years, the Michigan Department of Education has annually selected a teacher of the year. The winner then serves as a representative and advocate for teachers across the state.
Last week, Cory Rosser — an alternative education teacher at Quest High School in North Branch, Michigan — was named the 2025-26 Teacher of the Year. Now in his 22nd year of teaching at Quest, Corey teaches social studies and Imagine Learning courses for students in grades 10-12.
Corey joined The Metro on Wednesday to discuss the Teacher of the Year honor and his approach to creating an engaging environment for students in class.
