Oct 4, 2017
OSWEGO — Scholarship, teaching and passion led to two recent awards for SUNY Oswego School of Education faculty member Maria Murray — dedicated to evidence-based practices in the teaching of reading — and to explosive growth for an organization she founded.
Dr. Maria Murray, a SUNY Oswego School of Education faculty member, speaks to her class in “Childhood Literacy Assessment” about research in evidence-based practices for teaching readings. Murray recently won two awards, and The Reading League, an organization she founded, has seen explosive growth.
Murray, a member of the curriculum and instruction department and a key faculty member in the college’s literacy education master’s degree program, recently received the 2017 Perry A. Zirkel ’66 Education Faculty Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Teaching.
Service to the community has come atop her work in the college’s classrooms. Murray launched The Reading League less than two years ago, watching it reach 2,000 online members from around the world and prepare for its first annual conference in October for up to 300 teachers and other literacy advocates.
