INTRODUCTION
Teaching is not an easy task. Teacher need to have abilities to understand students and to know the different way to learn them. Many teacher are teaching in educational center, but they do not have the vocation to teach. Many of them know a lot knowledge, they are expert in much areas, but they do not have the abilities to transmit that knowledge. it is important to have both skills, the knowledge and the vocation to teach.
Teaching perspective is a site the help to many people to know theirself the best areas to grown potential and improve the more weaknesses areas.
people can take the test in no more five minutes, in that time the user answer the different option that present the test , after that the site send the result in the electronic address that you write when you fill in your personal information .In the TPI result appear 5 areas, like transmission, apprenticeship, developmental, nurturance and social reform. After you receive the result it is important to analyze, understand and interpretate your profile.
This teaching perspective inventory reflect something about my abilities to teach. I got 25 points of 45 possible in transmission area. That means that I am not a mastery of the subject matter or contend. I need to improve in areas like to provide clear objective, making efficient use of class time, correcting errors, making summarize and direct the learning with the appropriate goals. It is important to have a good connection between contend, resources and objectives in order to complete the topics. sometime a lost important time when I find an important information that I consider is important to grown the brain in the students affecting the development of the topic.
Apprenticeship is important to ask himself what students need in their live. It is important to fill them with a lot information that they will never use, or we want to prepare them to face the society and to be successfully in their live . Theory is very important in every class, but if the class does not have practice, it is a blind knowledge.
My score was 26 points in this area, I think is a low score because do not reflect my experience with students.
Developmental area measure what is the ability of the teacher to plan and conduct their class taking the point of view of students. It is important to understand that every learner has different way to learn. Most of them learn very quickly, but other students need to used other methods to learn. Teacher adapt the topic evaluating previously resources, students level with the contend. I got 28 points in this area, I expect to get a high grade in all of them.
What students are doing with the topic, or what they are thinking about the information that they are learning. One goal of the teacher is to make confident students. Students need to encourage their effort in every activity, one time they can fail, then, the challenge is to win experience to face the other problem, in this stage enter the work of the teacher. teacher foment the knowledge and values like those. In my case is was my lower score. I got 24, I am no agree with this result, because I promote the selfsteem and the self confidence in my students in every class.
Social reform means to induce to students to make changes in the society. They are the motor to move the society toward a good future. That is the responsibility of the teacher to promote changes, values and ideologies that generate changes.

CONCLUSION
• It is a good site to evaluate skill or characteristic of teacher, but it is need more information about the areas to evaluate, more diagram to understand in a better way the result.
• My average is close the dominant level, I know, all people need to improve the weaknesses, but I consider this test should evaluate other areas of educational skill.
• Also, it is a cheaper way to test some areas of teacher.
