Proctors are a critical part of the scenario village exercise experience. Proctors support [https://volunteerpdx.net/index.php/Moulage#Survivor_Actor_Preparations:_Scenario_Village survivor volunteer actors], observe the players as they work through the exercise, evaluate demonstrated skills, identify areas for improvement, deliver injects, provide simulated effects and responses, and monitor the safety of all participants during the course of the event. At the end of the exercise, a proctor provides the NET players with constructive criticism and positive reinforcement. | Proctors are a critical part of the scenario village exercise experience.

'''The person in charge of the exercise is the Exercise Coordinator.''' This person is responsible for (or delegating) the exercise design, gathering the needed resources for the exercise (such as props, actors, moulage technicians, proctors, food, etc), communicating with volunteers before the exercise, and designating proctor roles. | |||
Every Scenario Village exercise should include ''at least'' two proctors, and preferably more. There are several different proctor roles, and an exercise with few proctors will mean each individual proctor taking multiple roles. | Every Scenario Village exercise should include ''at least'' two proctors, and preferably more.

* '''Know the scenario:''' Maybe an earthquake just happened, we are on a typical city block, several survivors are scattered throughout the village with various injuries, they need assistance, and here comes a NET team… | * '''Have the Exercise Coordinator's cell phone number.''' PPB Training is a secure facility with access control between locations, meaning people may get locked out of the building or different parts of it. The Exercise Coordinator can get doors unlocked and people escorted back in. | ||

Once you have this information, you can choose to create a checklist of critical tasks – specific actions that are required for players to meet their goals, formally known as capability targets. By creating a checklist in advance, you become a more thoughtful, objective, and consistent evaluator. Since teams may run through this exercise two or even three times in a session, consistent evaluation will clearly show where they improve over time. The formal HSEEP Exercise Evaluation Guide for search, rescue, and triage can be found | Once you have this information, you can choose to create a checklist of critical tasks – specific actions that are required for players to meet their goals, formally known as capability targets.

The following is a list of the different possible roles the Exercise Coordinator might assign to proctors: | |||
# '''Front End Proctor:''' The PPB training facility is divided between the lobby area and Scenario Village itself. For security reasons, access is controlled between the two locations. Therefore, some proctors may be assigned to the "front end" lobby area before the exercise while other proctors set up the Village. Front end proctors should: | |||
