How do I start thinking like a teacher?

I believe that I still think like a student and not like a teacher at all. Most of the time that I sit in class I just wait to see what we are going to do next. I do not anticipate or really wonder. I must not be mentally active enough during class because looking back on it, I wait like a vegetable until you give directions. My suggestion would be to maybe start class by telling us what you want us to learn and then discussing and brain storming different ideas to learn about the topic. After, we would either do all of the ideas and see which one worked the best or choose the best one and use that. Then we would all see get immediate feedback about how well we designed a lesson. That would be one way to start thinking like a teacher.

The presentations have helped me think like a teacher. I got to see how other people would present material compared to how I chose to do it. I bet the chapter 6 assignment will help also.
