These are the results of my TPI graph. I scored above average for nurturing and developing with scores 45 and 38 respectively. I also scored 35 and 31 for apprenticeship and transmission respectively which were close to the mean. I scored the lowest for social reform with a score of 29 and it was recessive for me. One of the results that surprised me was the score for transmission. I thought I would have a higher score for this as I think providing students with clear objectives and lectures is a key aspect to learning new content/material. One of the results that I wasn’t surprised by was the social reform score. I was expecting to score lower in this due to my teachable subjects. I thought it would be harder to provide students opportunities for social action/reform in a math or science class. However now reflecting on this, I could perhaps use Biology as a way to address social issues such as climate change, pollution, and species at risk. Some questions the TPI results raised for me was “what are some ways I can use social reform in a math or biology classroom?”, “what are some underlying values I have and can learn from these results?” and “From these results, what are some assumptions that I have about teaching?”
