PowerWalks Hero Schools (November 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. In November, the Hero Schools met or exceeded the targets below:

Big Schools – 250 PowerWalks Observations

Medium Sized Schools – 175 PowerWalks Observations

Small Schools – 95 PowerWalks Observations

Very Small Schools – 50 PowerWalks Observations.

For December, due to the Christmas holiday, we will adjust the targets:

The December Hero School Targets

Big Schools – 175 PowerWalks Observations

Medium Sized Schools – 125 PowerWalks Observations

Small Schools – 65 PowerWalks Observations

Very Small Schools – 40 PowerWalks Observations.

For the record, the schools in the LYS nation conducted a total of 9,197 PowerWalks observations this past month.  But enough stalling, here are your thirty-two PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of November 2014.  Congratulations!!!
