The Evaluating Instructional Leadership seminars are structured for long-term and ongoing success in districts across the nation. In these seminars, Julie and Ray Smith outline eight Recognized Practices (RPs) for Success in leadership coaching and evaluation.
These learner’s notebooks are the first of their kind to continue the Visible Learning journey by helping students monitor their own progress. With an emphasis on developing and strengthening foundational metacognitive skills, the notebooks guide students to understand what they’re learning, why they’re learning it, and the strategies they need along the way.
