New Insights and their Implications

With talking about standards I have learned many new concepts about and how they can affect me as a teacher. I have discovered that it is important to know and understand all of them before you can properly teach them or the content in them. I did not know that the teachers of south dakota were the ones responsible for the construction and fine tuning of the state standards. Standards are an important resource as a teacher because not only do we need to teach to the level of the state, but also to the standards of the nation. I do like how the national standards are more clear when they are talking about the material. Other concepts that I have learned about so far are how to teach in a different way that I was raised on. I dont know if it is helpful or not yet simple because it worked for me so I dont see anything wrong with it.
