Personal Concerns & Next Steps

A personal concern I have with this class is that so much of this information that we're learning is new to me. I was never taught in this kind of way and I just got used to learning the procedures to solve a problem and never wondering about the concept behind the procedures. I'm a little concerned that I won't be able to implement what we're learning in my future classroom; but I don't want to rely on the old way of teaching. I know my future students will benefit so much from the CGI method of teaching. I think my next step would be to continue learning about this approach to teaching and hopefully practice it while student teaching. The more practice I get with it, the better I will be at teaching in this manner.
