Conclusions of this study are : 1) Teachers’ attitude on the evaluation of teaching practice is below the mean , but above is on teaching effectiveness. 2) The school evaluation and teaching effectiveness have a low positive correlation. 3) The evaluation of teaching practice has a low powerful prediction on teaching effectiveness. 4) The canonical correlation exists between the evaluation of teaching practice and teaching effectiveness, but the redundancy measure is low. Based on the conclusions, suggestions are offered: 1) Teachers should be more involved in school. 2) Teachers should be concerned for the communication on parents and students. 3)Teachers should continue to keep teaching effectiveness on high level. 4) Teachers should use indicators of teaching practice for self-check.
