dc.description.abstract	The objective ofthe study was to examine the effects ofteachers' academic achievement, years of experience, attitude towards teaching, and sense ofefficacy on teaching effectiveness. The sample consists of 41 teachers and 402 respective students randomly selected from five high schools in Bahir Dar town. A background information questionnaire and scales were used to gather data about the variables under discussion. Correlation and multiple regressions were used for data analysis. The correlation results revealed a non significant relationship between teachers' previous academic performance and teachers' years of teaching experience (r = 0.099), and teachers' attitude towards teaching(r = 0.065), while the relationships between teachers' ~ academic .performance and teachers' sense of efficacy (r = 0.822) and teaching effectiveness (0.478) were found to be statistically significant. Non-significant correlation was also observed , between teachers' years of teaching experience and teachers' sense of efficacy(r = 0.059), attitude towards teaching(r= 0.228) and teaching effectiveness(r = -0.223). The Regression results revealed that teachers' academic performance and sense of efficacy had statistically significant relations and direct effects on teachers teaching effectiveness (fJ = 0.492 and fJ = 0.524, P ( 0.001, respectively). Teachers' attitude towards teaching had a strong direct effect on teachers' sense ofefficacy (fJ = 0.889), but insignificant on teaching effectiveness (fJ = 0.299, P ( 0.001). However, attitude was found to have a significant indirect effect on teaching effectiveness via sense ofefficacy ((fJ = 0.466, P ( 0.001).	en_US
