ABSTRACT
Assessment of performance is an integral part of any process of learning and teaching. This paper attempts to look at the role and importance of assessment and the advantages of evaluation. The major problem of teaching English language, for teachers, has been assessing and evaluating students during their courses of study and their classroom achievements towards the end of the course. In spite of employing highly useful evaluation parameters such as filling blanks, spotting the error, multiple choice test, essay writing test and reading comprehension, teachers have not been fully successful in the classroom to meet the objectives of teaching and learning.
Evaluation is actually a continuous appraisal of the achievement of the aims of education as well as the methods of teaching and learning aimed at continuous improvements so that education

The plans describe the means of attaining those objectives- the “HOW”. And practices are what actually take place in the classroom- the “WHAT”. Classroom assessment and instruction has four aspects (purposes, plans, practices, and input factors). Instructional objectives are identified as the goals that one, as a teacher, aims at while teaching. On the one hand, they provide direction for planning appropriate instruction, and, on the other hand, they provide a basis for determining whether one has achieved what one has set out to accomplish- they provide criteria for assessing the outcomes of one's teaching. When identifying objectives to use in classroom assessment and evaluation, it is important to use those objectives that best describe what one, as an individual teacher, wants to

Classroom assessment and grading practices have the potential not only to measure and report learning but also to promote it. Indeed, recent research has documented the benefits of regular use of diagnostic and formative assessments as feedback for learning (Black, Harrison, Lee, Marshall, & Wiliam,
What assessment tools will I need? What are the differentiated class sections that are aligned with the objectives? How do I engage and promote the maximum effectiveness in the learning environment? Secondly, the Payment teacher data artifact helps to understand the intention of the students who remain in the course.
Context and Unit Description For this essay, students will be completing work from the unit titled ‘Place and liveability’, addressing all content and outcome requirements from the Australian Curriculum: 7-10 Geography. The following are examples of what students will be capable of identifying at the completion of the unit: 1) Factors that influence the decisions people make about where to live and their perceptions of the liveability of places (ACHGK043) 2) The influence of accessibility to services and facilities on the liveability of places (ACHGK044) and 3) Reflect on their learning to propose individual and collective action in response to a contemporary geographical challenge, taking account of environmental, economic and social considerations,

What strategies or support and or changes be implemented in future learnings, as a professional? Chapter one talks about how some professional are trying to stay away from standardized testing, instead professionals are try a new approach work samples, observation results and teaching report forms this is called alternative assessment. After reading chapter two I have come to conclude that there are multiple classroom assessment strategies just two name a few I read about in chapter two were observation this way you can determine where the child is in the developmental process, another is checklist developmental checklist is a list of learning objectives for areas of development at a particular age. The reading in chapter eleven clearly states that no one knows the future and what it holds as far as measuring young children. There are multiply demands for accountability.

Workplace Observations, question and answer/professional discussions, projects/assignments, portfolios, witness statements. A good assessor will always take into account their learners needs and what particular subject they are studying for prior to confirming with learner type of assessment method to be used.

Teachers use formative assessments which can be formal and informal within learning to review the child’s induvial needs and to be able to adapt their teaching techniques when planning lessons or activities to meet the needs of induvial children to improve within their learning and develop. Teachers in each year group would then assess this information with subject leaders to make sure they record and maintain induvial progress. The assessments can be used to give feedback to the children or young people, so they can understand and develop on their work and to give parents or carers feedback on their child’s learning and the level they are working at. formal/informal assessments are carried out by the teachers using assessment strategies such
I incorporate this learned experience daily and learn through each success and discovered area of improvement. Addressing my students needs using a variety of assessment tools has been a beneficial practice to help guide instruction. Students have different learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses are not always apparent using the same methods of assessment. Utilizing formative, standards(goal)-based, anecdotal, observational and benchmarks has driven my instructional programs. The combination of different assessments provides me with a multi-dynamic perspective of my students allowing me to better understand their strengths, weakness and academic needs.

It is my goal to make sure students are not just memorizing facts, but are actually understanding. They should be able to take the lesson and apply it to other areas of their lives. I believe students need to be assessed frequently and routinely. The students need accurate and effective feedback, so they can make any necessary adjustments.
