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.
In the forward for Ray and Julie’s book, Evaluating Instructional Leadership, Professor John Hattie poses a question:
“One of the greatest powers of a school leader is that they have the power to create the narrative in their schools. Is it a narrative of curriculum, test, scores, bus timetables, tracking—the peripherals of schools that need school on student learning—learning in the widest senses?”
Software testing
<b>Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the software product or service under test.[1] Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation. Test techniques include the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects), and verifying that the software product is fit for use.</b>
