Classroom Changes

I think that as a future educator, I am expected to do many things. I think that the Process and Practice Standards require teachers to be well rounded in math and education as a whole. The goal is to also instill that same idea into the students.  One thing that I think I will have to put a lot of emphasis on is communication. Communication is a big part of several of the SMP as well as one of the Process Standards. I think that communication is very important and I can see why this is stressed in many standards. I also will be expected to make math much more applicable to the real world. Many of the content standards included applying skills to real-world situations. This is always important because it helps keep the students engaged and also helps them to gain a better understanding of the topic. I think that teachers are being expected to include more and more in their classes every year and it will be difficult to always include these changes.
