Lessons Learned in the Classroom
LESSONS LEARNED IN THE CLASSROOM: "Inspiring, upbeat and optimistic, yet honest and hard-hitting when necessary. Into the mix of issues and people she takes on, Murphy constantly brings the joy of her vocation – her very special love of the classroom and of her students, a commitment that has kept her working hard for thirty-one years despite many challenges, personal and public. Murphy creates an unforgettable cast of characters…and always, she remembers the students who have touched her heart and motivated her teaching." (Author Dianne Aprile)
"Her chronicle of heartbreaking struggles and heartfelt passion gives readers insight into the heart, soul, passion, and lifeblood of what it means to be a teacher." (IUS Writing Project Director, Dr. K. S. Bailey)
