TPI Results

The Teaching Perspectives Inventory (TPI) is like a personality test, where teachers better understand their views and perceptions about teaching. There are five perspectives which correspond to different questions from the test:

1. Transmission
2. Apprenticeship
3. Developmental
4. Nurturing
5. Social Reform

Below is a screenshot summarizing my results:

 

The higher the score, the more I foster this view in my teaching. From highest to lowest score across the five perspectives, I have the following: 

1. Nurturing
2. Developmental and Social Reform
3. Transmission and Apprenticeship

With Nurturing well at the top of my results, I will further look into what the TPI says about this.

Effective teaching assumes that long-term, hard, persistent effort to achieve success comes from the heart, not the head.

I am happy that the TPI informs this as my top perspective because this is central to my teaching philosophy.
