About The Teacher

My name is Mark Lyons. I am pleased to be at Teravista Elementary School. 
This will be my fourth year at Teravista. It spent the previous five years at 
Forest Creek Elementary School in Round Rock as the school's Literacy 
Specialist and Reading Recovery teacher. I have had previous experience 
teaching first grade at Union Hill and Anderson Mill Elementary Schools in 
the Round Rock ISD. Prior to that I spent fourteen years teaching in the 
Manor ISD as a third grade teacher, a fourth grade teacher and a Reading 
Recovery teacher. Even before that I was a teacher in two different parochial 
schools. One is located in Austin, Our Savior Lutheran School. I was a 
fourth, fifth, and sixth grade teacher as well as principal. I started my 
teaching career in Irving, Texas at Good Shepherd Lutheran School as a second 
and third grade teacher. I taught those grades for nine years. 

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in education in 1976 from Concordia 
Teachers College in River Forest, Illinois. I have a Masters Degree in 
Curriculum and Instruction from The University of Texas at Austin. I am a 
trained Wilson Reading Program and Reading Recovery teacher.
