From my point of view evaluation of a teacher should be a multi-part tool. For instance, years of education, credentialing, evaluation of classroom performance, parent evaluation, pre-tests and post-tests of students, among others, each category having a range of numeric values. A total number value would provide the "score" to apply to a pay scale.

I am a parent of a former elementary teacher who is now back in graduate school for a second masters degree in another education-related field. After eleven years of being a 150% teacher, according to her principal, she burned out and could not continue doing her job the way she felt it should be done.
