PowerWalks Hero Schools (September 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.  For the month of September, the PowerWalks Hero School Targets were as follows:

September Targets

High Schools – 150 PowerWalks Observations

Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 125 PowerWalks Observations

Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 100 PowerWalks Observations

Alternative Schools – 50 PowerWalks Observations.

With schools hitting their stride in October, we will raise the targets to the following levels:

October Hero School Targets

High Schools – 180 PowerWalks Observations

Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 150 PowerWalks Observations

Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 120 PowerWalks Observations

Alternative Schools – 60 PowerWalks Observations.

In September, all of the schools using the PowerWalks Instructional Observation System conducted a total of 13,401 classroom observations. A commendable job, LYS Nation! But now, without further ado, here are your twenty-nine PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of September 2015.  Congratulations!!!
