Grade/Year Level:
PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING
ASSESSMENT
1. Assessment is an integral part of the
teaching-learning process

2. Assessment tool/activity should match with

performance objective

3. The results of assessment must be fed back

to the learners

4. Teachers must consider learners learning

styles and multiple intelligences and so must
come up with a variety of ways of assessing
learning.

5. Give some positive feedback along with not

so good ones.

6. Emphasize on self assessment

7. Assessment of learning should never be used
as punishment or as disciplinary measure.
8. Emphasize in real world application that
favors realistic performances over out-ofcontext drills.
9. Results of learning assessment must be
communicated regularly to parents.
