Vision for the Marblehead Lower Elementary Schools
The Marblehead Lower Elementary Schools (PK-3) share a vision and goals, reflecting the policies and direction of the Marblehead Public School. We share a unity of purpose and a consensus on values, and balance that with the unique needs and values of each neighborhood school. Our shared values include curriculum guidelines that have a positive impact on the progress of students. Based on a model of collegiality and collaboration, we strive to balance a consistency of practice and the unique needs and values of the neighborhood schools, with an eye on educating the whole child.
Shared Guiding Beliefs
- We believe in the blending of diverse talents of students, educators, parents, and the community of partners working together for the education of all learners.
- We believe students reach their full potential through high expectations, application of various learning styles, and being actively engaged in the learning process.
- We believe students have a civic responsibility to become responsible citizens by demonstrating the feelings, rights and properties of others, celebrating the diversity of others by working within our shared beliefs and values.
- We believe students receive a strong foundation of continuous learning by being actively involved in solving problems demonstrating critical thinking skills and producing quality work through cooperative learning skills and responsibility.
We believe quality assessment is necessary to evaluate students’ understanding, teacher effectiveness, and future plans.
