PowerWalks Hero Schools (September 2013)

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 13,299 PowerWalks conducted during the past month and the September targets for Hero School designation were:

Big Schools – 325 PowerWalks Observations

Medium Sized Schools – 225 PowerWalks Observations

Small Schools – 125 PowerWalks Observations

Very Small Schools – 65 PowerWalks Observations

Next month, as you can see below, the bar will be raised a little bit higher

Your October Hero Targets

Big Schools – 350 PowerWalks Observations

Medium Sized Schools – 250 PowerWalks Observations

Small Schools – 150 PowerWalks Observations

Very Small Schools – 75 PowerWalks Observations.

Now without further ado, here are your twenty-three PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of September 2013.  Congratulations!!!
