TPI




Teaching Perspectives Inventory Result

TPI result may vary according to the situation of time and the position of the mind, when someone attempts it. Actually, it is a tool of the professional development of a teacher. It helps to evaluate our own teaching skills as well as other teachers’. In my case, what I notice that the most dominating perspective is nurturing. Basically, I think it is well judged. Actually, I am a poet. In my view, nurturing is directly associated with the heart. Students should keep their self esteem higher. They should believe in trying their best and never should give up soon. They should be encouraged for their efforts not for achievements. As a gardener nurtures plants and flowers in the garden, a teacher nurtures students in the class. Besides this, I also feel that I do not have qualities of admins. I just want to inculcate a sense of curiosity among students. That is why my nurturing zone is stronger than any other zones.
The next two dominant zones are apprenticeship and social reform. These are mainly related with how a teacher can engage the learners within their ‘zone of development’ and how social lives can be improved by values and experiences. Texts are not the only source in these perspectives. The subject matter which is important, but not in the texts, might be discussed.

The Three Curricula by Elliot Eisner

The Three Curricula That All Schools Teach by Elliot Eisner This is very meaningful article about what our extrinsic and intrinsic curriculum offer and there is something which is not included in the prescribed curriculum, but that is also needed. As I had teaching background back home and I taught in BC as well, I agree with Eisner in many ways.  My first stop is about the rewards which are given by teachers in the class, especially in elementary classes. Eisner calls them “reward junkies” because he believes that we are creating a payoff system for children. I totally agree that such type of extrinsic reinforcement turns into bribery instead of best practice. Here I would like to share an anecdote which I noticed two years ago in a private school of BC.  My younger daughter got some prizes in vocal music from the teacher. On every Saturday, there was a program organised by the management to encourage the children for music. Luckily, my daughter has a sweet voice. I ...
