Personal Concerns and Next Steps

I am concerned about teaching mathematics in a constructivist manner. I was taught in a different way and I think it will be extremely difficult to get away from teaching that way. This class has really taught me the importance of teaching in a constructivist manner and that is how I want to teach my future math classes. However, I feel like I am not completely prepared for that just yet. I suppose to take the necessary next steps I will study more about constructivism. I will try to learn as much about it as possible so that I can apply my knowledge to teaching math in the future. I have already learned so much on constructivism, but I feel like it is not enough to prepare me for teaching in that way. I suppose I will just have to give it a try when I get out there and hope that I can teach in a constructivist manner. I hope that I am able to be a good constructivist teacher because I know that students learn much better through a constructivist classroom.
