My Teaching Perspective Inventory

 

According to my Teacher Perspective Inventory I primarily teach from a nurturing perspective, closely followed by an apprenticeship perspective.

 

Nuturing Perspective

Nuturing perspective is based on the idea that learning is best done in a safe environment in which the learner can be vulnerable and without fear of failure.  Nurturing teachers focus on providing the learner with support and encouragement while ensuring that there are clear expectations laid out.  They have high expectations for their students and try to nuture them to reach their full potential.

 

Apprenticeship Perspective

The apprenticeship perspective focuses on authentic teaching and learning through experiences; students focus on relevant tasks.  Apprenticeship teachers believe in community learning.
