The evaluation of teachers can be divided into two patterns,
according to the purpose: the one is encouragement and punishment
evaluation of teachers; the other one is developing evaluation
of teachers. With the final purpose of encouragement and punishment
evaluation will make decisions such as dismissal, promotion,
