PowerWalks Hero Schools (April 2014)

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 5,767 PowerWalks conducted during the past month and the April targets for Hero School designation were:

Big Schools – 220 PowerWalks Observations

Medium Sized Schools – 160 PowerWalks Observations

Small Schools – 90 PowerWalks Observations

Very Small Schools – 50 PowerWalks Observations

Due to Testing and end of the school year events we will adjust the May targets as follows:

Your May Hero School Targets

Big Schools – 175 PowerWalks Observations

Medium Sized Schools – 120 PowerWalks Observations

Small Schools – 75 PowerWalks Observations

Very Small Schools – 40 PowerWalks Observations

Now without further ado, here are your twenty-two PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of April 2014.  Congratulations!!!
