 * My Teaching Style Scores:**

 * Personal Model 3.375 Moderate**
 * Facilitator 4 Moderate**
 * Delegator 3.5 High**


 * First, I am trying to understand the scale that is used resulting in the above scores. How is it that a score of 3.6 is considered high, while a score of 4 is considered moderate? If I only look at the scores and not the words low, moderate, high, I am not surprised by the results. I see myself as a facilitator of learning with relatively high expectations, providing a considerable amount of structure for learning to occur. The delegator score is the one that is most surprising, since I don't really delegate much authority to my students. I might be misinterpreting what that category is truly measuring.**

What teaching insights will be identified by working with a partner in a discipline other than my own?
 * My Questions:**

What unique benefits can be derived by working in a multi-disciplinary team toward improving our teaching?

And what critical research questions can and should be addressed in using cognitive coaching among peers?
