INTERVIEWEE: CINDY MURRAY
ABOUT
CINDY MURRAY IS AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AT
HUDSON ISD'S BONNER ELEMENTARY
QUESTION ONE
What educational requirements did you complete to become a
teacher?
"My degree is in Elementary Education (BSIS ) Bachelor of Science in
Interdisciplinary Studies. I hold specializations in Reading and ESL. I
also have a Masters in Educational Leadership. I remember taking all
the basics like English, Government, Speech, Zoology. The classes
related directly to teaching included 36 hours of Reading.
Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of each class. I do
remember teaching at the ECH Lab at SFA and the Reading Clinic. I
remember learning to set up learning centers and teaching phonics.
When I started my classes for ESL, I remember taking Contrastive
Linguistics. I remember this class because it was challenging for me
but I had a great professor!"
REFLECTION ONE
After Mrs. Murray answered my first question, I am more
aware of the requirements that I must undergo to get
my certification. Mrs. Murray provides information on
how she specialized in Reading and ESL. She also
provided information on the master she had in order to
become an assistant principal. This information was very
helpful because maybe someday I also may want to
become a principal. She has taught for many years and
has shown much promise into become an assistant
principal. I am now more knowledgeable in steps I can
take if I want to pursue a different path other than
teaching.
QUESTION TWO
What professional development have you participated in
since becoming a teacher?
"Since becoming a teacher I have been to professional
development on teaching creative writing, Science, Math,
and a lot of technology. I have been to CAST (science
conference), CAMT (math conference) numerous times.
Both of these conferences offer sessions on best
practices for teaching math and science for all grade
levels. I have attended many technology classes at the
Region 7 service center on how to use technology in the
classroom to supplement student instruction. I have been
to sessions on the best educational software, and online
programs which will enhance student learning."
REFLECTION TWO
Mrs. Murray provided an entire list of professional developments she
has been to. She explains how all of these professional developments
will enhance student learning. This has given me a better idea of just
how many professional developments are offered once I enter the
teaching world. I was worried that once I became a teacher,
professional developments would only happen a couple times a year,
but she has reassured me that there will be much more opportunities
to learn and enhance my teaching in order to engage my students. As
a future teacher, I would want to learn more about how to
continuously engage my students and make their learning better.
