Welcome to the Teaching Perspectives Inventory!
Take the TPI now!

Welcome! You are about to begin taking the Teaching Perspectives Inventory. Its main section consists of 45 questions about your views of teaching. In addition, there are a few questions about you and your background.

Some of these questions ask your name and e-mail address so we can forward your TPI results to you in hard-copy format. Other questions ask about your employment circumstances, your career experience, the kinds of learners you most often work with, and your geographic location. We are particularly interested in how teachers, educators and trainers in various professional sectors may or may not differ. As well, we are striving to build norms for the TPI that span the spectrum of international education. 

Please be assured of the confidentiality of any information you supply. Thus we encourage you to answer all questions honestly and completely - if you leave some items blank, your individual TPI Profile cannot be calculated accurately and the system will prompt you to click the 'Back' button and to go back to fill in the missing information. You should be able to complete the entire TPI in less than 20 minutes. 

After you have completed all the questions, click Submit and wait a moment while the TPI website calculates your results. You will then see a Profile Sheet keyed to your individual answers. You will then want to click your browser's Print
button to make a 2-page hard copy of your results and the interpretation that follows.
