Engaging students in performance assessment and reflective learning can relate and compare to a lot of things when dealing with our students. The role of assessment in teaching and learning is that every teacher in planning lessons and delivering instructions, evaluates students learning. In its simplest terms, a performance assessment is one which requires students to demonstrate that they have mastered specific skills and competencies by performing or producing something. It should be everyone teachers mission to engaging in our students education life to make sure they are well prepared for the world ahead. One of the ways in which students internalize the characteristics of quality work is by evaluating the work of their peers. However, if they are to offer helpful feedback, students must have a clear understanding of what they are to look for in their peers' work. The instructor must explain expectations clearly to them before they begin.

Students can become better language learners when they engage in deliberate thought about what they are learning and how they are learning it. In this kind of reflection, students step back from the learning process to think about their language learning strategies and their progress as language learners. Such self-assessment encourages students to become independent learners and can increase their motivation.  then last point I am going make it the element of teacher portfolios. Portfolios are purposeful, organized, systematic collections of student work that tell the story of a student's efforts, progress, and achievement in specific areas. The student participates in the selection of portfolio content, the development of guidelines for selection, and the definition of criteria for judging in and good way to help better the student. Portfolio assessment is a joint process for instructor and student. to know how they are doing and what they can improve. Portfolio assessment emphasizes evaluation of students' progress, processes, and performance over time.

  1. Thanks for your comments on those three important concepts - don't forget to provide in-text citations when you copy the words and/or ideas from the text or other resources. Your focus on this writing needs to be your opinion and/or perspective about the concepts - ie., what do you think about portfolios? would you use in your teaching? why or why not? So, don't retell what's in the book - instead tell how it would impact you, etc. :) Like your BitStrips, too!
