520 School administrators who recruit teachers domestically
and abroad lack an internationally accepted checklist for
effective teachers with which to evaluate teacher
applicants. This study was conducted to use the elements
of a U.S.-based effective teacher checklist survey with a
sample of secondary teachers in Guatemala and Japan to
describe the relationships between the variables of nation,
gender, and years of teaching experience. Social
constructivism framed the study. The participants' views
regarding a 22-item effective teacher characteristic
survey were collected and analyzed with an independent
samples t test. A polyvocal analysis was used to review
the data gathered from the two open-ended questions at the
end of the survey. The findings from the survey indicated
significant agreement between Guatemalan and Japanese
teachers regarding the survey elements of effective
teacher characteristics across nation, gender, and years
of teaching experience. The polyvocal analysis revealed
two major themes - the teacher as professional and the
teacher as person. It is recommended that a new survey be
developed that will provide a wider group of teachers a
means for self-assessment and directors and administrators
a culturally relevant assessment tool. The potential
positive social change from this study is the ability to
record the global responses of practicing teachers'
regarding effective teacher characteristics, note the
commonalities, and thereby enhance teachers' professional
development and assessment at various levels specific to
effective teacher characteristics
