Abstract
This study explores whether it is possible to assess the quality of teaching and categorize teachers according to their proficiency in different stages of effective teaching, using the Dynamic Model of Educational Effectiveness as a theoretical foundation. The study included 1287 high school students (Mage = 17.02) from 12 private high schools and nine public high schools located right across the province of Québec (Canada). The findings indicate that teaching skills can be classified into six distinct stages of teacher behaviors, which evolve progressively, starting with basic teaching skills and advancing to more complex approaches, such as innovative teaching methods and differentiated instruction. The study also offers recommendations for future research on teacher professional development, emphasizing the importance of creating a clear connection between evaluating teacher effectiveness, identifying individual teacher needs, and providing targeted training programs.
