Lincoln Mission Statement
The Lincoln Elementary School community will enhance, enrich, and broaden the education of every student through local and global awareness. We will work together to develop high achieving life-long learners who welcome others and their differences .
International Baccalaureate Mission Statement
The International Baccalaureate aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right."
Adrian Public Schools is Internationally Minded!
You asked?
- All classroom teachers attend 15 hours of professional development at a International Baccalaureate training. The IB PYP Coordinator, the Principal and Specialists (Gym, Art, Music, Language Acquisition, and Literacy Support) are also included in the requirement for this training. As teachers return from their training, they come back and share during professional development time their new information. This information is then embedded into our written curriculum and then taught to the students.
