EDUC 5480  Assignment  Guidelines  Instructor  Manual  Criteria  (240  points)  

Part  1.  Context  (40  points)  

• The  context  of  the  program  is  clear  (e.g.,  driver  of  development,  performance  or opportunity  gap,  stakeholders,  expected  outcomes).

• The  learner  profile  provides  a  comprehensive  view  of  learner  characteristics. • The  session’s  goal  is  clearly  stated  and  consistent  with  other  aspects  of  the  context.

Part  2.  Instructional  Plan  (120  points)  

Design  

• Instructional  plan  has  a  clear  structure  and  focus. • Performance/learning  objectives  seem  appropriate  given  the  context,  especially  the  learner

profile. • Participants’  meeting  the  objectives  would  likely  bridge  the  problem  or  opportunity  gap.  (Or

might  something  else  that  is  unstated  be  needed?) • The  techniques/activities  support  achievement  of  the  performance  objectives. • The  content  covered  supports  achievement  of  the  performance  objectives. • Supporting  Instructional  materials  and  media  are  specified. • Ways  to  measure  participants’  success  in  carrying  out  performance  objectives  are  included. • Participants  are  provided  information  on  performance/learning  objectives,  expected

outcomes  and  course  information. • Interactions  with  participants  are  spelled  out. • Feedback  is  indicated. • Actions  for  continued  development  after  the  session  ends  are  discussed.

Part  3.  Assessment  and  Evaluation  Approaches  (40  points)  

• Ways  to  measure  participants’  success  in  carrying  out  performance  objectives  are  included in  the  instructional  plan.

• Formal  assessment  (s)  used  before,  during  and  after  the  learning  assessment  are  described along  with  information  on  the  rationale  for  using  them  and  how  results  will  be  used  (if applicable).

• Evaluation  approach(es)  to  be  used  are  clearly  described. • The  tasks  needed  to  design,  develop  and  implement  the  evaluation  approach(es)  are

specified.

Format  and  Mechanics  (40  points)  

• The  writing  consists  of  clear,  logically  organized  sentences  and/or  bulleted  information. • Word  choices  are  appropriate,  clichés  avoided  and  writing  shows  understanding  of

terminology. • There  is  no  or  little  redundancy. • Grammar,  punctuation,  and  spelling  are  accurate
