The document discusses the Zone of Proximal Development and how it relates to student assessment. According to the ZPD, assessments should evaluate what students can learn with support, not just what they already know independently. ZPD-based assessments help teachers identify students' learning needs and plan lessons at the appropriate challenge level to facilitate growth. Teachers can then use formative assessments to monitor student progress and adjust instruction as needed.

1. What does the Zone of Proximal Development say about assessment?
● Assessments in the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) look at what a
student can learn with a little help. Instead of just checking what they already know, these assessments see how much they can do with support. They help teachers figure out what a student needs help with to learn more. ZPD-based assessments also show how students are getting better at things. Teachers use this information to plan lessons that are not too easy or too hard, but just right for each student. It's like finding the best level of challenge to help students grow and learn more.
