Hey Nancy, I get guest judges for my Student Directed One Act presentation and have them use the VHSL form. I also use a weekly directing rubric for them to make sure they are staying on task it includes things like:
Student used rehearsal time wisely and kept focused on the work.
Student gave direction well so the actor was able to work toward his/her vision. The student worked hard to try to communicate their vision.
Director was professional and positive in rehearsals, had a great attitude and was well prepared overall.
Director was always prepared for rehearsals with their plan, attendance log, script and a pencil.
Director wrote down all blocking and notes so they remembered the direction they had given.
And all these are categorized as All the time, Most of the time, Hardly ever, and Never.
Additionally, my students get a grade for a Production Binder they must turn in within a week of show. I'd be happy to share everything I've got with you. I've also got rubrics for just scene work and rubrics for Director's to complete about their Actor's weekly work to help them learn to be objective.
