9. 08/04/20148 People like me are aware of their so-called genius at eight, nine, ten… I always wondered Why has nobody discovered me? In school, didnt they see that Im more clever than anyone in this school? That the teachers are stupid, too? That all they had was information I didnt need. It was obvious to me. Why didnt they train me; put me into art school? I was different, why didnt anyone notice me ? John Lennon

Cognitive development Piaget and Vygotsky CASE and KCL Thinking skills http://curriculum.qcda.gov.uk/key- stages-3-and-4/skills/plts/index.aspxhttp://curriculum.qcda.gov.uk/key- stages-3-and-4/skills/plts/index.aspx menu "Zone of proximal development" (ZPD) is Vygotskys term for the range of tasks that are too difficult for the child to master alone but that can be learned with guidance and assistance of adults or more- skilled children. The lower limit of ZPD is the level of skill reached by the child working independently. The upper limit is the level of additional responsibility the child can accept with the assistance of an able instructor. His theory of cognitive development can be used as a tool in the early childhood classroom. According to Piaget, children developed best in a classroom with interaction.
