Rubric: This rubric is an assessment of some of the trainer's (my mentee's) goals and objectives. Some of her goals include room (classroom) management for a video conferencing lab, gaining participant feedback using a survey assessment, accommodating diverse learners, teaching video conferencing program skills, and giving specific feedback to adult learners.

The following survey assessment will be used by my mentee to evaluate the lesson.

Survey, made using Survey Monkey (www.surveymonkey.com)
NOTE: Because this link navigates to an "EDIT" version of the survey not all graphics or selections are available to you.

Formal and Informal Assessment Feedback Plan
Assessment Instrument	What Tasks, Strategies, Instruments?	How Processes? How often?	Why How do the selected tools support your learning goals and the learning principles guiding your design?
a) to enable continuous/frequent feedback between me and my educator	-Individual assistance -Observation -Probing questioning	Continually	I will ask questions to determine understanding. Questioning will allow my educator to demonstrate her understanding of the learning goals and objectives. Feedback provides support and encouragement for continued success.
b) to encourage my educator to reflect on her learning progress and achievement	-Questioning -Summarizing -Self-Survey	Cognitive Coaching and Self-Evaluation at the end of each training session	This provides a source for reflection and guidance. The self-survey provides the educator with a resource to judge her own work and a guide for what needs to be done next time. She will be given the opportunity to think about what she has learned and to share it with me.
c) to determine my colleague's needs for implementing a system for monitoring the effectiveness of her integration efforts	Observation Questioning Survey	Continually	The survey addresses the learning goals & objectives. The trainer will observe each adult learner during their research and presentation time and use this information and assist them as needed. The survey will provide the adult learners with a way to evaluate my mentee's lesson and as a guide for what needs to be changed. The survey also provides as a source for monitoring and guidance during the lesson.
