EDCP 342A - TPI Survey Results

Based on the TPI survey results, my dominant perspective with the score of 38 is Nurturing. I found it intriguing. I consider myself a caring person, but never thought this trait/characteristic would dominate my profile/personality. Also, the other four perspectives including Transmission, Apprenticeship, Developmental, and Social Reform are recessive, and I scored about the same in these four perspectives. This doesn't surprise me because I'm usually open to trying and exploring new things. Furthermore, I have always thought there is more than one way to learn/teach/express/communicate. Teaching/learning is multifaceted with numerous dimensions. 

On watching the video about TPI from the website, I found it inspiring that TPI is considered a conversational tool rather than a diagnostic tool. We, as Teacher Candidates, will explore and develop our own philosophy of teaching/learning as we progress in the BEd program. I look forward to seeing how my teaching philosophy establishes and teaching perspectives change over time.
