The evaluation of teachers is a most important measure to strengthen the construction of the group of teachers ,as well as an important means of guaranteeing and improving the quality of teachers .It is also part of school management .At present , simplification still lies in the intention ,content , main body and means of the evaluation system of middle school teachers in China. There is quite serious tendency of examination ,and the evaluation system of rewards and penalties of teachers plays a predominant role .It is difficult to evaluate teachers in a scientific way .Obviously , there is still great distance between the reform of school's evaluation system and the required goals of quality education .It is not only the requirement of school management to construct an evaluation system of performance, which is in accord with rules with a scientific standard and improved system, but also the requirement of reality to call for carrying out the policy of merit pay in the current compulsory education schools .By comparing the differences between the evaluation system of rewards and penalties and developmental system in theory basis ,purposes ,functions ,directions ,main body ,relationship ,results, standards , process ,types and methods ,and through the study on the present application of system of rewards and penalties and developmental system, It is considered that both the evaluation of developmental system and the system of rewards of penalties have their suitable conditions .They both can push the development of teachers and become necessary to improve the quality of education .It is possible for them to combine with and relatively complement each other .Thus , different evaluation system should be chosen according to the reality of schools and different evaluation purposes of different periods and a scientific evaluation system of middle school teachers ,which is suitable for the development of schools ,will be set up .The policy in practice of merit pay in the current compulsory education schools is to be deciphered in the aspects of purposes ,functions ,directions ,main body , relationship, results ,process ,types and ways of evaluation . and also take into consideration the combination of united evaluation and distinguishing evaluation; the combination of the single dimension evaluation and the multi-dimension evaluation ;the combination of formative evaluation and evaluation in stage; the combination of self-evaluation and evaluation by others ;the combination of quantitative evaluation and qualitative evaluation ; the combination of rewards and penalties and the evaluations that help the growth of teachers ,through which a scientific merit pay program fit for the development of our school will be established and is expected to solve the problems that lie in the existing evaluation system as well as arouse the active interest in work .As a result , the program will be put into practice without difficulty, and it is certain to promote the management of schools ,the deep-going of New Curriculum and the professional growth of teachers .In the end the basic purpose of teachers evaluation will be realized .
