One thing I am learning from my peers is collaboration. Sometimes, I might know how to do a math problem and get stuck in the same spot and they might be able to help me with that. Peers have different insights on things and can help me. I am usually one that likes to do things on my own and definitely not work in groups. I know I can count on myself to get things done and partners are not also accountable. But, this semester so far has showed me working in groups can be very beneficial to the learning experience and deeper the learning to a new level.
One thing I have learned from Dr. Reins is mostly all students are being told the answers. I never thought of that being wrong until I realized the amount of education I have missed out on and the many things that I do not remember from grade school or high school. I am learning that each student must struggle a little to endure learning and further knowledge. I know how I want to teach to better my student's future and help them live in a society that is always changing. Who knows when someone will need to use the area formula or be able to cut a pizza in 12 slices. But, if they remember the information the task will be very easy.
I'm glad I'm learning a new way of teaching and cannot wait to implement the learning into my teaching style.
