New Insights and Their Implications

I have a great experience because I work at a daycare in Sioux Falls and while taking these methods courses this is helping me to apply and understand what is being taught to us in class. During study time, I get to work with students on their math skills so as we talk in class I am able to think about the students that I am working with and help them apply the strategies. I see them trying to apply what they have learned from teachers and are unable to correctly use what has been taught to them as well. I feel that for experienced teachers, changing their way of teaching must be difficult, however as a new teacher I will be able to help students construct their own understandings as this will only benefit them.

My biggest concern is that students will not be able to correctly construct their understanding. Will my teaching help them or hinder them?
