When teacher doing assessment to their students, he/she should focus on three domains of classroom assessment. Three Domains of classroom assessment are Cognitive, Affective and Psychomotor.  Why teacher need to notice into that three domains of classroom? Based on my experience, my teacher in junior high school always adds affective value in his/her notes every session in the classroom. At the end of the semester, my friend in the classroom that always get the highest score in the test is not the first rank in our class, because he often making trouble in my school, even with the other teacher. That means the students should develop their knowledge and improve their attitude being a person that has a good behavior. Here we can see that school is not a place for learn about knowledge only, but in the school is a place to learn how to socialize with another, be a responsible person, etc.    

After doing assessment teacher will know whether they should change their instruction or use the same to their students. It’s depend on the students, every class has different need of instruction, that’s why teacher should use the suitable one. Standard based model can be a guide for teacher when teaching in the classroom. Start from planning the teaching and learning, using lesson plan. Then teaching in the classroom, give assessment, modify the suitable instruction, give more exercise and re-invite the concept. After the students understand the material well, teacher can move in to the next chapter.

From last meeting of PETA, we can learn how to use assessment and change the suitable instruction for students. So, the assessment is not just for taking student’s  score.
