Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory focused on the affect of the surroundings, namely the culture, peers, and adults, on the developing child. Vygotsky proposed the “zone of proximal development” (ZPD) to explain the influence of the cultural context. ZPD refers to the range of tasks which a child cannot finish alone since they are too difficult, but such tasks can be completed with guidance and aid from more-skilled individuals. The lower limit of ZPD is the level of skill that the children can reach

Children can learn in many different ways. When a leaner constructs their own understanding of knowledge through shared experiences it is called constructivism. This is a learning approach that is practiced by many teachers today and has proven to be a successful method for teaching and learning (Powell & Kalina, 2009).

The Zone Proximal Development is a term used to describe the range of tasks that are too difficult for a child to master alone, but can be learned with guidance or assistance from adults or more-skilled children. The lower limit of the Zone of Proximal Development is the level reached by children when working by themselves, without assistance from others

Careful of Cascadia In the next 50 years, the Cascadia fault will slip and the government would not even bat an eye if they didn’t know the dangers. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is located on the coast of Washington and Oregon. Roughly every 550 years, the strain is released from the plates rubbing against each other and the fault slips; the west coast of the North American Plate suddenly slides westward over the Juan de Fuca plate, causing a megathrust inland. And as a result, a huge tsunami would
