Welcome to Ms. Murphy's Classroom:

10th Grade World History

 

I am so excited for the 2022/2023 school year.  We have lots of amazing things going on in my classroom.

Students in World History will be examining historical content and then analyzing how events, systems and other influences impact the world we see today.  As the saying goes, if we do not learn from history, we are destined to repeat it.

 

A little about me....

I am a mother of three and grandmother of one.

I have been teaching in some capacity for over 20 years.  Before coming to Oakland Military Institute,

I was a college educator and still enjoy teaching evening classes at the college level.  I have a 

Bachelors Degree in Psychology and a Masters Degree in Social Forensic Psychology and enough units

to teach statistics at the college level.  During my graduate program I focused on the inequities 

in the Criminal Justice System and wrote my thesis on Biases found during the Death Penalty process.  

After teaching college for several years I started substitute teaching at the middle and high school level.

I found I loved this age group and went back to get my Single Subject Teaching Credential in the

Social Sciences.  Upon completion of my teaching credential I was assigned to student teach

at OMI and I have worked here ever since.  I love teaching at Oakland Military Institute and over

the last 10+ years have been fortunate to teach the students in several different courses, at several

different grade levels, and have watched these amazing cadets grow up to the amazing

seniors that will graduate and go on to do great things, leading to successful endeavors in each of their futures.
