Mary Lyon School Mission and Vision Mary Lyon Mission

Mary Lyon Elementary School will provide an environment for student growth so that they have the opportunity to be on track to meet / exceed goals and objectives in their continuing education and become college ready. All students will be developed as a whole child in order to use all their talents and creativity in their roles as adults in the 21st century.

Mary Lyon School Vision

The Vision of Mary Lyon School is to give all students the means, opportunity, and direction to achieve their academic growth in literacy, mathematics, and all content areas and thus to be well rounded, literate adults contributing to their society.

Continuous Improvement Work Plan (CIWP) 2014 -16 Continuous Improvement Work Plan – (CIWP) Priorities

Literacy: Through the use of data driven instruction, we will improve literacy scores across grade level curriculum and student subgroups by executing the CPS Literacy Framework with fidelity; text complexity will be the foundation of strengthening vocabulary and comprehension.

Mary Lyon will establish a Balanced Literacy Program aligned with Common Core State Standard Curriculum. Guided Reading will be used as our vehicle to teach comprehension. Guided Reading will become our focal point for school-wide professional development.

Through the use of data driven instruction, we will improve literacy scores across grade level curriculum and student subgroups. In addition to teaching the Common Core State Standards for Reading and English Language Arts, Mary Lyon School will execute the CPS Literacy Framework with fidelity. The Balanced Literacy approach will be the foundation of strengthening our reading program in all grade levels.

Math: Through the use of data driven instruction, we will improve student growth in Math scores across all grade levels and subgroups by executing the CPS Mathematics Content Framework with fidelity; emphasis will be placed on number sense and algebra.

Continuous Improvement Work Plan (CIWP) 2014 -16 Science: In partnership with the Next Generation Science collaborative from Loyola University, Mary Lyon

School will follow with fidelity the Next Generation Science Standards as adopted by the Chicago Board of Education. This plan will include FOSS - Full Option Science System, STC - Science and Technology for Children in grades K - 5 and SEPUP - Science Education for Public Understanding Program for grades 6 - 8.

English Learners: Mary Lyon will implement an academic language development curriculum for linguistically diverse students through CCSS, WIDA standards, data driven instruction based on multiple types of assessment, research based practices, and professional development for all staff.

Climate, Culture, and Social and Emotional Learning: CASEL - the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL (CPSEL)) will be implemented this school year. Our school counselor will work in partnership with our administration to provide PD opportunities for the PATHS (K - 2) Program and the School Toolkit. This includes supporting staff with their implementation of “School Kits” grades 3 through 8 and “PATHS” program grades K through 2.

Arts: Mary Lyon School will provide an environment for student growth in the arts. Lyon works in collaboration with two external art partners - the Chicago Metamorphosis Orchestra Project and the Puerto Rican Arts Alliance. In addition Mary Lyon School has two full time music teachers and one art teacher. Our school has an orchestra program, band program, choir, dance, Cuatro and guitar, school garden, as well as other performing arts events.

Open Leadership I believe Lyon must begin to build a culture in regard

to the concept of Open Leadership established by Charlene Li of Harvard University.

Open Leadership is having the confidence and the humility to give up the need to be in control, while inspiring commitment from people to accomplish goals.
