Abstract

The integration of teacher and institutional evaluation is established as a fundamental pillar for strengthening pedagogical performance and educational excellence. Given the current landscape in the United States, marked by a critical teacher shortage and high levels of professional burnout, this study aims to design an evaluative model that transcends punitive measurement, transforming it into effective strategies for continuous improvement. To achieve this, a qualitative descriptive methodology based on thematic analysis is employed. The procedure is structured into four main phases: transcription and data familiarization, open coding to identify emerging concepts, axial categorization for pattern discovery, and finally, a triangulation of information integrating interviews, state evaluation rubrics, and documentary analysis. The findings reveal that factors such as regulatory rigidity and post-pandemic workload have caused evaluation to be perceived as a control instrument. Nonetheless, it is demonstrated that active participation and constructive feedback are decisive for faculty to value the process as a genuine opportunity for professional growth. The study concludes that evaluation must be an ethical, reflective, and contextualized process that empowers teaching talent. It is imperative to have an integrated model that closely links teacher training with institutional management to guarantee meaningful learning outcomes.
