Teaching - Style - Questionnaire

Teaching Style Questionnaire.
What is your Teaching style? Read each question below. Reflect upon your teaching
style, and chose what is most evident for you.
 Don’t worry. There are no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ answers.

 Answer the questions based on what you think tends to be true about yourself.
 You may feel there is more than one answer that tends to be true about yourself.
That is possible. Try to choose the one that is more frequent and/or evident about
you
 By choosing one answer, it does not mean that you are totally excluding the others
or that the others are completely untrue. Answers just indicate stronger tendencies
about you.
