Quality education is crucial in the socio-economic development of a country. Different measurements are being taken to boost the standard of academic programs at higher education level. Quality assurance agencies have been established worldwide for this purpose. At the institution level, Quality enhancement cells (QEC) have been functional, Quality assurance agency (QAA) conducts external quality assurance practices at the institutional level like Institutional performance evaluation (IPE) while QEC ensures program level quality. Besides, there are accreditation councils to ensure program quality.
The QEC also takes action to improve academic quality in HEIs through the use of a quality evaluation tool for academic programs called the Self-Assessment Report. The Self-Assessment Report (SAR) is the outcome of this process. The core of the entire system of quality assurance is self-assessment reports. The major goals of a self-assessment report are to improve academic programs and make sure of high academic standards by giving faculty and administrative input to make an improvement action plan.
The self-assessment approach was introduced in Pakistan by the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) of HEC, who also recommended a self-assessment model based on eight criteria. QECs' main goal was to carry out a program evaluation. This was accomplished using a self-assessment approach. At the end of each academic year, each institute prepares a self-assessment Report based on the standards set by the QAA and for this purpose, QEC makes a program Team (PT). The PT members in each department write a Self-Assessment Report (SAR) and submit it to the QEC, who sends it for an external audit, after receiving the necessary training and materials. The Implementation Plan is created in response to the audit report and submitted to higher-ups at the institution and the QAA together with the executive summary of the SAR. So, a correct set method is used to carry out the program assessment.
Program self-assessment yields several benefits such as a better and increased understanding of the effectiveness of learning resources used to carry out educational activities, identification of the strengths of the program as well as the areas for improvement (Andrade & Valtcheva, 2009). This involves an objective judgment to identify strengths and weaknesses and bring improvements to them. (Paris & Ayres, 1994; Wiggins, 1998). Oakland (1999) maintains in
his study that self-assessment helps in finding out areas for improvement. It aims to formulate a sustainable evaluation mechanism to check both academic processes as well as outcomes of any academic service or program to strengthen the quality and the performance of the organization (Stahl, 1998). Roseanna and Mandia (2011) assert that Self-Assessment can work as an important 'lens' through which one can see how to enhance learning to improve the program (Bourke & Mentis, 2011). SAR is conducted worldwide, and different studies

Importance of Classroom Management
classroom management is the single most
important factor governing student learning.
Three authors reviewed 50 years of research on
student learning, encompassing 11,000 statistical
findings. They discovered 28 factors that help
students learn and classroom management was
the number one. The way that teachers run their
learning/working environment determines
whether the individual will be successful or not.

resources are utilized for learning .

Keep Students Busy
and Motivated
Start class on time
Plan for the entire class period
Be definite about your lesson plan
Relate assignments to students’ interests
Use various teaching methodologies
according to the need of the topic.
Use touch, rhythm, objects, actions and
pictures to learn. The repetition of
hearing information is not as helpful in
students with LD

Keep a Positive Attitude
Give praise, encouragement and
inspiration

Teaching Slow-Learners
Characteristics of the Slow Learner
“This student always has a confused look, always in
for help, never seems to understand material,
consistently does poorly on tests, rarely finishes
tests, can’t use reference materials,, has an
extremely difficult time with new concepts and
can stare at one problem for 45 minutes and be
no farther along than he/she was at the
beginning.”
27. 27
Strategies for Teaching Slow
Learner
· Have the student sit in the front of the
room near the teacher.
· Have the student repeat directions to see
if he/she understands them..
· Monitor the student’s work, ask him/her
to show you what he/she has done when
half completed and have him explain what
he/she is doing.
28. 28
Strategies for Teaching Slow
Learner
Break down the directions into a sequence of
steps, number the steps, have the student
complete the task one step at a time.
· Utilize an academically stable student to help
monitor this student’s work or help explain
directions.
· Before each math lesson put problems on the
board to remind and reinforce the concepts being
applied.
29. 29
Strategies for Teaching Slow
Learner
· Have the student do two or three problems with
you, tell him/her to do two on his/her own and
then say you will be back to check his/her work.
Then remember to check.
· Have the student do a shortened version of
class projects.
· Monitor him/her closely to be sure he/she isn’t
putting down just any answer.
· When finished with an assignment, ask him/her
to tell you the main idea of the work or explain
the process that he/she used.
30. 30
Try to check on him/her from time to time
· Invite him/her in to a morning or
afternoon private session to show concern,
possibly involve parents by calling them
about such a session.
