Use these questions to draft a statement of your values and beliefs.
Teaching Perspectives InventoryThe Teaching Perspectives Inventory (TPI) can offer you additional insight into the reasons you choose a particular teaching approach(es). Note that to receive a personalized TPI report, you need to provide some personal information. If you are uncomfortable doing so, "prefer not to say" will work for many of the questions. Also note that gaining insight from completing the instrument and reading the report takes about 15 minutes, longer if you watch all the video content. Connecting values, beliefs, and teaching approachWhen your teaching approach connects well with your values—what you think is important in teaching—and your beliefs—how you think your students learn—that approach feels right. You feel prepared, class time flows well, and you leave with a sense of accomplishment. This can happen in many ways. Here are a few examples:
These examples are certainly not exhaustive. For example, your teaching approach may be shaped mostly by priority given to workplace preparation or to liberal education. And the examples are not necessarily exclusive. You might use different approaches, or combinations of approaches, with different students, in different courses and contexts, and so on. The point is that making conscious connections between your values, beliefs, and approach(es) helps you deepen your understanding and develop your skills as a teacher. This will prove invaluable as your courses become more flexible by design. Reflect: Refine statements of values and beliefs
