Reflection on my TPI results

According to my TPI result, I was very pleased to see that my highest score was in apprenticeship. When I was studying in Delhi, India, I taught math for one year to the underprivileged kids. These kids could not afford to go to school and since I was volunteering in a Non- Governmental Organisation, I had the pleasure to help those students. During my time, I had kids with different level of education and so I tried to incorporate different ways of teaching with real life examples, loads of activities and flash cards. Making the class fun was one of the main objectives as these kids were not used to the classroom environment. I wanted them to interact and participate in the classroom.

From the graph, my scores were consistent in transmission, apprenticeship, developmental and nurturing with a score ranging from 30-34 but I feel I should put more to enhance my social reform as I scored only 26.  Being a teacher, I should try and teach the values of the society but it is quite difficult to do that in a math class.

However, I was surprised to see that my developmental skills were quite low, only 30. As an educator, I try to use different resources and activities to make my class lively and creative. As I am still learning, I will try and incorporate new methods during my practicum and hope to improve my technical aspects of my teaching.
