Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pre-assessment helps teachers understand what students already know and what they need to learn. This enables teachers to plan instruction more effectively, scaffold student learning appropriately, and attend to differences in achievement found in their classroom. However, pre-assessment does not help students avoid their zone of proximal development; rather it helps teachers identify and target students' zones of proximal development. Therefore, option C is not correct.
