PATCH SEVENTEEN: WE HAVE TO GO DEEPER
I began teaching 20 years ago. After more than a decade, I was first offered the opportunity to teach the same subject that I had studied more than a decade before.
I did my best to teach in the way that I was taught. I tried to remember how my teacher taught and acted in class. After a few classes, I realized how much had changed during this time. Despite the fact that the course was   basic science ( so theoretically unchanged), the student attitude was very different from my own. They had more general knowledge, and online resources made my teaching technique appear naive. I learned the hard way that understanding prior knowledge of students in a subject , as well as teacher awareness of current teaching approaches, are required for a successful class.
