Just wanted to make a quick post before we run off to Christmas break; I had the chance to redo the TPI test and the difference was noticeable. When I did the TPI test in the beginning of the semester, and comparing it to the most recent TPI, it was relatively neutral. If you look at the chart below, you can see that my NURTUR, DEVEL, and TRANS went up, while my APPREN and SOC REF went down. This actually lines up really well with my own teaching philosophy. I don’t really believe in the apprenticeship and social reform aspect of teaching, and I do believe that nurturing and developing students is the best way for students to learn.

I hope that everyone has a good break and looking forward to being back at UBC in January!
