There are a number of factors based on which a teacher is assessed for performance and for best student outcome. This paper focuses on nine specific professional characteristics of educators and teacher efficacy, all of which has a significant impact on positive student outcome, to assess a teacher. A vigorous validation was made on the instrument to arrive at the Educator's Characteristics Scale. Content validity through expert opinion; construct validity through convergent and discriminant validity; and criterion validity was examined. The instrument had a reliability coefficient value 0.9172. The relationship between the variables was analyzed through path modeling and the strength was found as R2=43.4%.
