When this class began, I thought we were just learning textbook theory for textbook cases. As time went on I begin to get excited about the things I was learning and began to try them out on a family member.
The question that has been foremost in my mind the entire course was "Will this work for my students?" I am still not sure that I have the answer but I am now willing to try it with my students. The biggest challenges for me will be "letting go" and changing "limitations" into "constraints". If I maintain my patience in these areas, I may achieve some level of success.
The highlight for me was the Inspire Mathematics Academy. That was when it all came together for me like a well-devised plan implemented. The success of the academy inspired me to use constructivism this fall. It's been real yall

I still wonder if it will work with my students too. And my concerns lie in the same areas as yours - letting go and turning limitations into constraints. Seeing it in practice does give me hope that it will work and that this is the future of mathematics instruction.
