After checking my TPI, I think the results quite agree with my teaching style. My two lowest scores are transmission and social reform. I also think I am not a good memorable presenter and I do not make use of the class time very well. I quite often cannot completely present all the materials that I plan for the classes. I am also weak at raising student's awareness of society since I am not good at social science. Actually I do not have an effective way to integrate the social issues into my teachable subjects.
My highest score is apprenticeship. I also believe I am good at understanding the capabilities of my students and I will customize my teaching method to fit their needs. In general, the TPI can show my current weaknesses and strength of my teaching.
Thanks for this thoughtful self-appraisal that shows your kindness and experience, Leo. It's good too know yourself -- but don't be too hard on yourself either!
