Bridge to Constructivism

People learn while doing couldn't describe the art of constructivism any better. Even though many teachers have yet to adopt the constructive approach, I believe that the number will increase in the next several years. If we are going by the "we teach how we are taught" theory, we should be pretty darn good teachers. I mean, if you think about it, throughout our lifetime, we have had teachers who are always in the back of your mind, but also teachers we wish we could forget... But if that is that case, would we not learn from their mistakes and do the opposite? Anyway, as teachers we need to be constantly learning and generating new ideas, and that is the only way a constructive approach can work. So a teacher that wishes to take the constructive route, must be careful I think, and must be willing to work hard to make proper lesson plans that fit the subject and will motivate the children... and if something doesn't work, find something else to do... learning from our mistakes is a part of teaching also.
