Personal Concerns and Next Steps

Although I'm not the best with math (but I'm not completely horrible at it either), I am a little concerned on how to succeed in this class. This class has taken me out of my comfort zone many times when it comes to math, and I think it is because it we are looking at teaching and learning math in a completely different way than I was taught up to this point. As for short term concerns, I am worried about succeeding in this class (I feel a little lost - like I'm not completely "getting" it or thinking outside of the box enough). For the long term, I am very concerned with teaching my students math in this new reformed way. I'm worried that if I do not grasp the topics and concepts enough in this class, I will not succeed in teaching my students math (and will further confuse them instead of help them). I know it is usual to feel uncomfortable at first with something you are not use to, so I'm hoping that in a short while I'll start catching on and feeling more confident in my abilities to succeed in this class and as a teacher.
