Validity of Criterion 1 is a reasonable way to assess teacher ability

            This is very credible that can best show the efforts put in place by the various teachers. It is important to highlight that a good teacher shows continuous performance all through the session. Whenever the performance of a teacher goes down together with the averages, it clearly denotes that something is not right somewhere and the students are not being given the best in terms of delivery. Whenever a student is not given the best in terms of teaching, it is important to reiterate that this will be effectively shown in the student's performance.

Validity of criteria two

            In the discussion of the validity of criteria 2, it can be clearly noted that this method of evaluation is very much sense as it is much demanding for a teacher to make it happen that the average is above 548 which is the district mean. This, therefore, means that the teachers who make it to this or more than this are very much hard-working and so they are good teachers. This is because making sure that all students excel such that even when the average is calculated it still remains above the average.
