Teacher evaluation is an important tool in the development of strong teachers dedicated to improving the achievement of their students. For this reason, it is crucial that teachers view evaluation instruments and procedures as being effective measures that support and improve their practices. Teachers' perceptions of their evaluation instruments can affect their sense of efficacy in the classroom and view of school culture. This study explored the relationships that exist between teacher efficacy, perceptions of school culture and the evaluation tool used in a school system and the resultant statistical analysis of those relationships and the degree to which they exist and possibly affect student learning.
