PowerWalks Hero Schools (September 2012)

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.  There were a total of 10,194 PowerWalks conducted during the past month and the September targets for Hero School designation were:

• Big Schools – 350 PowerWalks Observations
• Medium Sized Schools – 250 PowerWalks Observations
• Small Schools – 150 PowerWalks Observations
• Very Small Schools – 75 PowerWalks Observations

For the month of October, we’ll keep the targets at the same level.

Now without further adieu, here are your twenty-four PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of September 2012.  Congratulations!!!
