Abstract

The teaching profession is a highly sophisticated profession that regularly reaches out past academics. Besides ensuring that students experience scholastic success, teachers must also work as surrogate parents, guides and counselors, and even almost-politicians. There is almost no limit to the jobs a teacher may play. The purpose of the present study was to study the teacher effectiveness of secondary school teachers of Sonepat district. For this study, a sample of 120 secondary school teachers was selected. The teacher effectiveness scale developed by Puri and Gakhar (2010) was used to measure teachers’ teaching effectiveness. The study’s findings revealed no significant difference between the teacher effectiveness of male and female secondary teachers of Sonepat district. It also revealed that gender does not affect teaching efficiency or effectiveness.
