Regress?

Why is it that I seem to fall back on my old ways of teaching? Is it because I don't want to put the time into redoing my lessons?

Having the students in the "driver's seat" works so well for a lot of what I do but there I times when I need to present the information. I know that this is okay but when I do it once then I want to do it again and again. I think I am having a hard time letting go of being the one in front.

It's going to take time. You're not Superman (are you?) - there are times you're going to fall back to what you're comfortable with. I think the goal is to make fairly steady progress day after day, week after week, month after month to slowly transform your classroom into the best it can be. Don't beat yourself up too much about "regressing" occasionally.
