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 16,877 PowerWalks conducted during the past month and the October targets for Hero School designation were:
Big Schools – 350 PowerWalks Observations Medium Sized Schools – 250 PowerWalks Observations Small Schools – 150 PowerWalks Observations Very Small Schools – 75 PowerWalks Observations
Next month, due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, we will adjust the targets:
Your November Hero School Targets Big Schools – 300 PowerWalks Observations Medium Sized Schools – 200 PowerWalks Observations Small Schools – 115 PowerWalks Observations Very Small Schools – 60 PowerWalks Observations.
Now without further ado, here are your thirty-six PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of October 2013. Congratulations!!!
