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. For the month of December, the PowerWalks Hero School Targets were as follows:
December Hero School Targets High Schools – 175 PowerWalks Observations Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 120 PowerWalks Observations Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 100 PowerWalks Observations Alternative Schools – 35 PowerWalks Observations
We want to kick the New Year off right so we’ll increase the Hero targets.
January Hero School Targets High Schools – 225 PowerWalks Observations Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 170 PowerWalks Observations Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 145 PowerWalks Observations Alternative Schools – 45 PowerWalks Observations
In December, all the schools using the PowerWalks Instructional Observation System conducted a total of 13,243 classroom observations. A commendable job, LYS Nation! But now, without further ado, here are your forty-three PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of December 2016. Congratulations!!!
