Learning Goal: Understand the role of the theories of the
zone of proximal development and scaffolding, and their relationship to the practice of eliciting evidence of student
learning.
Success Criteria: 1.I can explain the theory of the zone of proximal development and its relationship to differentiated instruction and instructional modifications. 2.I can explain the role of scaffolding instruction in increasing student learning.

CONNECT TO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
On a scale of 1-5 rate the degree to which you think you have met today’s success criteria (1 is not at all – 5 is to a great extent):
1. I can explain the theory of the zone of proximal development and its relationship to differentiated instruction and instructional modifications.
2. I can explain the role of scaffolding instruction in increasing student learning.
