"Learning isn't a way of reaching one's potential, but rather a way of developing it" - Anders Ericsson

My name is Corrine Murphy and I am an experienced teacher with a philosophy that the educational experience is much larger than the four walls of the classroom. It is important that students learn how to think and apply knowledge, rather than regurgitate information. Community, collaboration, creativity and communication are essential for a rich learning experience. I am an established education professional with demonstrated history of skilled classroom management, lesson planning, curriculum and competency development, media education and use, and teacher training, that believes in the concept of "kids first". I want to help you - help students.

Students need to have a voice - it's not just your classroom. You are there as their guide on this educational journey. But in order to do so, they need to do their part and SPEAK.

Welcome to the Literary Lancer!
Hello fellow teachers! I have been in education for 20 years as a teacher, coach, and advisor. I have taught a range of English classes at all different levels, and I am excited to share my resources and experiences. Although this will be a different experience and a challenge for me personally, I am very much looking forward to this year of collaborative learning both virtually and in person!
Education is a passion of mine. Whether it be helping others to learn, or for myself. And the only way to do it is together. I am hoping that I will be able to provide lots of a materials and examples, and that you too will be able to share your experiences and resources! Together we can learn about skills and tools available for the instructional process, new strategies and curriculum, and most importantly we will be learning educational strategies, for ourselves and the future of our profession .
A little bit about me; This is my 20th year in education. Teaching and coaching has always been a passion of mine. I started coaching youth softball at the age of 17, and coached many sports over the next 20+ years. During my high school and college years I participated in sports and extracurricular activities. My belief is that these activities are an extension of the classroom helping to foster relationships and build character, grit, and teamwork.
What is amazing about education is that no matter what your interest, there is an avenue for people to build relationships and find success. Even, remotely. Whether that is in the classroom, on the soccer field, working with the the school newspaper or Community Service Club, or Debate Club, there are many opportunities available to be a part of educational process that are an extention of a classroom setting.
What is important about teaching and learning is establishing relationships where we can communicate and work together. I look at this as OUR virtual classroom, and the only way it will work is if you are there with me! Every year I ask students:
Have an open mind
Being patient and flexible - this is new for all of us
Come to "class" ready to learn
Always be honest - even when it is difficult.
Meet me half way, and I will always help you to be successful.
You may not like some things that we do in class or feedback you may be given. Feel free to have a conversation with me at an appropriate time so I may be able to explain why, or answer any questions. And I will always plan to do the same.
You are responsible for your learning. Not me. Not your parents. Not anyone else. You will get out of your education what put in to it.
Lastly, you will always be my kids. Whether I have you for a day, or for a year. If you don't remember Tale of Two Cities, or 1984 - I always want you to remember that you matter. And we will get through the curriculum together, but it will be our experience that will make it worthwhile.
I say the same to you as educators. Let's learn from one another...
