Lincoln Elementary School 2008 Edna Folger Outstanding Teacher Ms. Coggin is known for “growing young mathematicians”. Linda has been involved in the Indiana Math Initiative, a component of a National Science Foundation Partnership Grant with Indiana University. Ms. Coggin also encourages students in their reading and writing. Students and parents alike look forward to attending Coggin's Coffee Shop when students share poetry they have written.

Linda is also an adjunct faculty member at IUPUC – teaching psycho linguistics. Parents appreciate that Ms. Coggin understands all students learn differently. Coggin works tirelessly to help parents feel like welcome partners in their child's education. Linda's colleagues admire her as a dedicated, caring, innovative person with an interactive, teamwork-centered teaching style. A school administrator described Linda's classroom as one of the friendliest, most engaging and productive environments he ever observed. Coggin has high expectations for all students and inspires them to learn and to love learning.

The award was presented as a part of the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce annual meeting held at the Holiday Inn on January 30, 2008. Ms. Coggin received an inscribed clock, a monetary gift from EMCON Technologies and Linda's name will be added to the plaque listing all previous Folger Award winners.
