Carol Ann Tomlinson's quote: Assessment is today's means of

modifying tomorrow's instruction. Pre-assessment is very important for

the teacher as well as the student. It provides valuable information
about what is already known about a topic and readiness to start new
instruction. Discovering prior knowledge allows the teacher to present
further information at an appropriate level for the students. This
process should continue throughout the learning process so that
lessons can be adjusted according to student need. It has been said by
many of the well-known success gurus that are learning from our
mistakes will guarantee our future's comfort. We HEAR their successful
stories of victory, but we must LISTEN to their mistakes and how they
overcome them. Mistakes are sweet words to persons who truly
wanted to be successful in life.
