PowerWalks Hero Schools (April 2015)

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 April, the Hero Schools met or exceeded the targets below:

The April Hero School Targets
Big Schools – 215 PowerWalks Observations
Medium Sized Schools – 140 PowerWalks Observations
Small Schools – 75 PowerWalks Observations
Very Small Schools – 35 PowerWalks Observations.

For May, due to state testing and end of the year activities we will adjust the targets:

The May Hero School Targets
Big Schools – 200 PowerWalks Observations
Medium Sized Schools – 130 PowerWalks Observations
Small Schools – 65 PowerWalks Observations
Very Small Schools – 30 PowerWalks Observations.

For the record, the schools in the LYS nation conducted a total of 6,724 PowerWalks observations this past month.  But enough stalling, here are your twenty-two PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of April 2015.  Congratulations!!!
