Autorenporträt

Brian L. Murphy's first degree was in Business Management, which led to an eighteen year career performing as an individual contributor, then a Supervisor, then as a Manager. Now, having been a teacher for twenty years, and experiencing the education system from the inside, including being a Mentor Teacher for a dozen Student Teachers, he says "I have loved being a teacher. But my industry is in trouble, even dying, and something needs to be done to repair the damages before it's too late. This book is meant to identify and take responsibility for what is going wrong so we can remedy the problems.
