Learning to Unlearn

          There are always going to be things in the classroom that a teacher has to unlearn.  This may be challenging because you are used to what you already know and have been doing.  Breaking bad habits in the classroom will be very beneficial to students.  Keeping the room current and up to date will make a big difference in their learning and how they focus.

          As there are things a teacher has to unlearn, there are also things you have to relearn.  This may be difficult because it's different from what you already learned and you have to put in the time to learn it.  Relearning things is important because it keeps you updated.  Things change all the time and knowing how to adapt to it will help you a lot in a classroom.  One example of this is technology incorporation.  It's such an important thing and something that is always changing.  You may also need to improve classroom management and behavior tactics.  This is a good opportunity to learn more skills that may be useful.  Overall, the main theme of this post is out with the old, in with the new.  You have to familiarize yourself with new information and ways of learning to be successful as a teacher.  It affects all aspects of children's learning.
