5..TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE BUILDING OF THE CULTURE

OF SUCCESS IN THE SCHOOL, IT IS PEDAGOGICALLY
SOUND THAT IN OUR ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUES WE
GIVE SOME POSITIVE FEEDBACK ALONG WITH NOT SO
GOOD ONES.

those not-so-good points that definitely need improvement will
cushion the impact of of our critical evaluation

6. EMPHASIZE ON SELF-ASSESSMENT
- Students should do their own self-assessment against the standard
or criterion of success established at the beginning of the class
performance objective.
Assessment should not force students to compete against one
another, any competition should be between students and their own
prior performace.

TEACH ALL STUDENTS, AND THAT IT IS POSSIBLE
THAT ALL STUDENTS, EVEN THOSE FROM LIMITED
BACKGROUNDS, WILL HAVE ACCESS TO
OPPORTUNITIES AND THEREFORE CAN ACHIEVE,
THEN THE BELL CURVE MENTALITY MUST BE
ABANDONED.
