Tom Murdock

I’ve worked as a line cook, housekeeper, housepainter, high school teacher, department chair, dorm parent, wilderness leader, school program director, startup entrepreneur, co-founder, product architect, scrum master, marketing VP, board member, brand officer, client support guy, and the multiple roles that usually accompany those positions. I live in Gerrardstown, WV with my wife and daughter.

Philosophy

I follow an educational tradition shaped especially by my father, Jerald Murdock, who pioneered secondary math instruction using data visualization and graphing calculators. I’m also inspired by the Great Books methodology of shared inquiry; the social constructionist underpinnings of Moodle; the just-in-time learning of Outward Bound/NOLS wilderness education; and writing workshop/art studio conversations between makers. I try to move organizations towards reflective habits, scaffolded knowledge and resonant leadership.

Included in the Ideal of Equality

“Those fighting to be included in the ideal of equality are not being divisive. Those fighting to keep those people out, are.” -Jon Stewart
