PowerWalks Hero School (November 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 9,274 PowerWalks conducted during the past month and the November targets for Hero School designation were:

Big Schools – 300 PowerWalks Observations

Medium Sized Schools – 200 PowerWalks Observations

Small Schools – 115 PowerWalks Observations

Very Small Schools – 60 PowerWalks Observations.

Next month, due to the Christmas Holidays, we will adjust the targets:

Your December Hero School Targets

Big Schools – 175 PowerWalks Observations

Medium Sized Schools – 125 PowerWalks Observations

Small Schools – 75 PowerWalks Observations

Very Small Schools – 40 PowerWalks Observations.

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