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 October the PowerWalks Hero School Targets were as follows:

October Hero School Targets High Schools – 275 PowerWalks Observations Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 200 PowerWalks Observations Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 175 PowerWalks Observations Alternative Schools – 55 PowerWalks Observations

Since November has a significant holiday break we’ll adjust the targets.

November Hero School Targets High Schools – 210 PowerWalks Observations Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 150 PowerWalks Observations Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 135 PowerWalks Observations Alternative Schools – 40 PowerWalks Observations

In October, all of the schools using the PowerWalks Instructional Observation System conducted a total of 20,565 classroom observations. A commendable job, LYS Nation! But now, without further ado, here are your thirty-eight PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of September 2016.  Congratulations!!!
