New Insights and Their Implications

I have learned many new concepts about teaching standards, where they have come from, and how they can affect me as a future teacher. The new concepts that I have learned about teaching standards is that it is important to know and understand all of them before you can properly teach them or the content in them. I have learned that our state standards come from the teachers in South Dakota and that they do not always aligne to the national or NCTM standards. For me, this is an important topic because I think that it is much more important to aligne the state standards to the NCTM standards. These standards have more of a clear focus and cover the material that needs to be covered in more depth. Other concepts that I have learned about so far are how to teach in a different method such as helping the students get to the right answer and not just stating the answer that they need to pass a test. This method will help my future students learn the concepts in math and help to retain them longer then if they were handed the information.
