Hi Zoe! I agree, it is very complicated for us as new teachers to try and ‘forget’ the way we were taught and redesign our thinking to the new way of teaching and learning. When we are learning new learning theories in class at UVic, it seems so simple to implement this new way into our classrooms, but once we actually get to our classrooms, our mind automatically shifts back to the way we have known for most of our life, particularly our childhood life. Like the SmarterEveryDay (2015) video, and like you state in your post, it will take much time and lots of practice to really shift our mindset!
