School Teacher Effectiveness

Teacher effectiveness is the effective linkage of teacher competence and teacher performance with the accomplishment of teacher goals. It mainly depends on the teacher characteristics such as knowledge base, sense of responsibility, and inquisitiveness; the student characteristics such as opportunity to learn, and academic work; the teaching factors such as lesson structure, and communication; the learning aspects such as involvement and success; and the classroom phenomena such as environment and climate, and organization and management. If the teachers take care of these factors, their effectiveness can be enhanced to the optimum level. Considering the very importance of teacher effectiveness, this study has been undertaken to study the teacher effectiveness of secondary school teachers. The secondary school teachers are possessing high teacher effectiveness. This study will be very much helpful to the educational policy-makers, planners, administrators and teachers in enhancing the teacher effectiveness to realize the educational objectives and national goals.
