Personal Concerns and Next Steps

The thing that I am most concerned about is how to do I switch the way I was taught how to do math; to how should I teach it? In all my math classes the teachers have always been there and helped me out if I was struggling. I know that everybody went through this same experience. I think I can speak for a lot of my peers. That this is going to be very hard to adapt to this new way. There are many times that I am frustrated with the material. Or when I am trying to figure out the homework and I just don’t get it. When you have been doing it in a certain way for so many years, it is hard to change your thinking and try a new approach. But, how can I make this switch? Not missing class, paying attention to the lecture notes, readings, and projects. This is very important that I understand how to teach in this way for my students. I don’t want to fall back on what my old teachers did. I want to learn this new way of teaching, it’s just going to be a struggle at times.
