Project Scenario:
Dr. Lydia is a new faculty member at a university that mostly teaches adult learners, all of whom are over the age of 27.

To help determine effectiveness, you will watch for evidence of differentiated learning principles, interpretation of cognitive function in learning, an awareness of the impact of learner characteristics on learning outcomes, practice with a distinguished alignment to the major learning theories, and the use of elements in the learning environment. Since Dr. Lydia is new to teaching, you plan to meet with her several times prior to the observation to ensure her questions are answered and expectations for a strong classroom performance are clear.
