In furtherance of a LYS Nation tradition, we will take this time to tip our caps to the campuses that have embraced the most important step in creating and maintaining an action oriented professional learning community. These are the campuses that have conducted an extraordinary number of formative classroom observations in a given month. There were a total of 11,570 PowerWalks (Outstanding Job) conducted during the past month and the February targets for Hero School designation were:
Big Schools – 265 PowerWalks Observations Medium Sized Schools – 190 PowerWalks Observations Small Schools – 115 PowerWalks Observations Very Small Schools – 60 PowerWalks Observations
For March, due to losing the week of Spring Break, we’ll maintain the February targets.
Now without further adieu, here are your thirty-five PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of February 2013. Congratulations!!!
