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 10,719 PowerWalks conducted during the past month and the January targets (adjusted for snow days) for Hero School designation were:
Big Schools – 220 PowerWalks Observations Medium Sized Schools – 160 PowerWalks Observations Small Schools – 90 PowerWalks Observations Very Small Schools – 50 PowerWalks Observations
Due to the short month and snow days we will leave the February targets the same:
Your February Hero School Targets Big Schools – 220 PowerWalks Observations Medium Sized Schools – 160 PowerWalks Observations Small Schools – 90 PowerWalks Observations Very Small Schools – 50 PowerWalks Observations
Now without further ado, here are your thirty-five PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of January 2014. Congratulations!!!
