TPI

Unsurprisingly my TPI states that I lean toward the values of social reform and fostering a nurturing educational setting. I also seem to value the development over the transfer of knowledge and taking students as apprentices.

These results are no surprise to me. I chose to become a teacher mainly because I think a lot of the public institutions are made such that the same people are systematically marginalized and then blamed for their inability to contribute. I am very lucky to have intellectual capital and a support system that allowed me to reach this level of success, but not everyone in the same situation. I hope to level the playing field in my own microscopic way by providing all student a support system and encouraging critical thinking and thoughtful rebellion.
