    This document discusses a paradigm for classifying teachers based on their commitment and ability to think abstractly about teaching. There are four quadrants that teachers can fall into: 1) Drop-outs have low commitment and abstraction. 2) Unfocused workers are highly committed but lack technical knowledge. 3) Analytical observers are knowledgeable but unwilling to fully commit. 4) Professionals are highly committed and knowledgeable, requiring little guidance. The document examines the characteristics of teachers that fall into each quadrant.

    Teachers in Quadrant II are termed
    unfocused workers. They are high
    in commitment but low in
    abstraction. Unfocused workers want
    to do a good job. They are willing to

    knowledge to structure their efforts
    for maximum efficiency. Unfocused
    teachers come to expect more of

    commitment. They know how to do
    their jobs effectively but are
    unwilling to commit necessary time
    and energy that effective teaching
    requires. Analytical observers are
    the resident critics of the school. At
    faculty meeting, they are quick to
    point faults of the school and its
    programs but are not anxious to be
    a part of the solution, because
