Over on Cal Teacher Blog Kevin Bibo had a nice post 4 February 2008 identifying and explaining important foci for teaching. It’s worth a read:

I don’t write much about the nuts and bolts of teaching. Mostly thats because I feel like its already been covered… extensively. But I do think that there are four major areas that ALL teachers should focus on if they desire to be effective in the classroom. Those four areas include: relationship, management, instruction, and assessment.

Link to the entry. Mr. Bibo, who I think was once an English teacher and now teaches technology applications for high school, has many clearly written and often sensible posts. While you’re there, check one that I sometimes refer to in my classes, “Spoon-Feeding Students.”
