The Role of the Mock Assessor
Overview: This 25-minute block of instruction will stress the importance of the mock assessor to the

assessment. One of the major reasons an agency has a mock assessment is to evaluate the
agency’s efforts and looks to the mock assessor to find any areas where agency written directive(s)
and compliance documentation fails to meet the requirements of the standard. In addition, the mock
assessor must also inform the agency of areas that are exemplary.
