Meet the Teacher

Meet Mrs. Murphy:

Hello! This will be my thirtieth year of teaching in Wayland. I have taught grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 in Wayland, and I look forward to teaching grade 1 this year! I enjoy biking, reading, cooking, traveling, singing, and enjoying the company of my family. I hold two Bachelor's degrees - one in Sociology and one in Elementary Education - from the University of Massachusetts/Amherst - and a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction from Boston College. My professional interests include how to help children become motivated, invested, life-long readers; teaching children about creativity; teaching writing; differentiating content; encouraging equity in STEAM subjects, and using the Integrated Day model. I love spending time with children!
