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. In September, the Hero Schools met or exceeded the targets below:

Big Schools – 325 PowerWalks Observations Medium Sized Schools – 225 PowerWalks Observations Small Schools – 125 PowerWalks Observations Very Small Schools – 65 PowerWalks Observations.

For October, the targets will remain the same:

The October Hero School Targets Big Schools – 325 PowerWalks Observations Medium Sized Schools – 225 PowerWalks Observations Small Schools – 125 PowerWalks Observations Very Small Schools – 65 PowerWalks Observations.

For the record, the schools in the LYS nation conducted a total of 13,979 PowerWalks observations this past month.  But enough stalling. Without further ado, here are your thirty-six PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of September 2014.  Congratulations!!!
