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 January, the PowerWalks Hero School Targets were as follows:
January Hero School Targets High Schools – 224 PowerWalks Observations Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 170 PowerWalks Observations Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 145 PowerWalks Observations Alternative Schools – 45 PowerWalks Observations
Because February is a short month and weather days are always and issue, we’ll adjust the Hero targets.
February Hero School Targets High Schools – 210 PowerWalks Observations Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 150 PowerWalks Observations Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 125 PowerWalks Observations Alternative Schools – 40 PowerWalks Observations
In January, all the schools using the PowerWalks Instructional Observation System conducted a total of 23,629 classroom observations. A commendable job, LYS Nation! But now, without further ado, here are your SIXTY-ONE PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of January 2017. Congratulations!!!
