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 October, 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 November, due to the Thanksgiving holiday, we will adjust to the targets listed below:
The November Hero School Targets Big Schools – 250 PowerWalks Observations Medium Sized Schools – 175 PowerWalks Observations Small Schools – 95 PowerWalks Observations Very Small Schools – 50 PowerWalks Observations.
For the record, the schools in the LYS nation conducted a total of 14,136 PowerWalks observations this past month. But enough stalling. Without further ado, here are your thirty-nine PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of October 2014. Congratulations!!!
