PowerWalks Hero Schools - March 2016

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 March the PowerWalks Hero School Targets were as follows:

March For A Cure – Cancer Fightin’ Hero School Targets

High Schools – 325 PowerWalks Observations

Middle Schools / Junior High Schools – 275 PowerWalks Observations

Elementary / Intermediate / Combined Campuses – 225 PowerWalks Observations

Alternative Schools – 100 PowerWalks Observations

This month with Spring Breaks and state testing, we’ll modify the Hero Targets to the following:

April Hero School 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

In March, all of the schools using the PowerWalks Instructional Observation System conducted a total of 11,965 classroom observations. A commendable job, LYS Nation! But now, without further ado, here are your Seventeen Cancer Fightin’ PowerWalks Hero Schools for the month of March 2016.  Congratulations!!!
