The document discusses teaching perspectives inventories (TPI) which measure a teacher's perspectives on teaching. TPI help teachers understand their dominant and recessive profiles to better apply their beliefs. The author's TPI results show their dominant perspective is Apprenticeship, meaning they focus on developing students' skills through expertise. Their recessive perspectives are also identified. In conclusion, TPI are useful for teachers to examine their beliefs and clarify how others view teaching.

2. INTRODUCTION
The TPI or teaching perspective inventories are perspectives that can be dominant or
poor.
Teaching perspectives help teachers to understand and apply better their profiles. If
teachers know what their perspectives are, they can adequate their teaching according to
the content and the way students learn. The purpose of TPI is to measure 5 perspectives
which are: Transmission, Apprenticeship, Developmental, Nurturing and Social Reform.
These perspectives can help teachers to collect their thoughts and summarize their ideas
and beliefs about teaching. They can be useful in examining your own teaching as well as
helping clarify the teaching views of other people. In order to know your Teaching
Perspectives you have to take an on line questionnaire that contains 45 questions.

A Scoring Profile for the Teaching
Perspectives Inventory
According to the results, I have a dominant Apprenticeship perspective. This means that
good teachers are highly skilled at what they teach. Whether in classrooms or at work
sites, they are recognized for their expertise. Teachers must reveal the inner workings of
skilled performance and must now translate it into accessible language and an ordered set
of tasks. Teachers focus the teaching in developing students skills.
Also I have found that I got recessive teaching perspectives
CONCLUSION
TPI are very important to know because in that way teachers can be aware of their
beliefs in teaching. They can apply them in real situations.
