thats really helpful i dont think. i am disappointed at your assumption as i am not a trainee teacher (although i dont know what difference that would make) - i am in fact conducting research for an academic paper - but there you go - it obviously suits you to jump to conclusions!!!! sorry you wasted your time on such unnecessary communication!!!!!!!!!!
As a teacher, the question seems a bit too broad but I feel my teaching is effective when the children enjoy their lessons - you can soon tell if the pitch is too high or low as bored children soon become apparent.
Effective teaching is evident from the progress the children are/aren't making. Target setting ensures the childrren know what they are aiming at and formal and informal assessment tells me if they are learning.
Sorry if my answer is a bit vague. If there is anything more specific I can help you on feel free.

As someone who went to primary school a very long time ago:
1. Level of enjoyment of teachers and pupils
2. Attendance and punctuality of teachers and pupils
3. Level of self-esteem of pupils
4. SAT levels attained by pupils
5. Level of attendance by parents at parent's evenings
6. Position of the primary school in the league tables, using Contextural Value Added scores, which takes into account socio-economic indicators.
7. Grade improvement over a fixed period of time (eg. a term) This will be informed by the pupil's prior performance data and will normally result in the pupil being given a "Target Grade" or an "Aspirational Grade"
8. Level of Continued Professional Development (CPD) undertaken by teachers.

An awful lot has been covered already here so I'll add my little bit and see if it makes any sense.
Being able to access all areas of the curriculum regardless of the needs of the individual.
Enough funding to provide the required equipment/ resources to ensure the above is achievable.
Setting realistic but challenging targets
Use of multi sensory strategies
Work set in ability groups
Various forms of media, text, resources, outside agencies, learning experiences etc etc to cover all aspects of individual topics/subjects.

As a student on PGCE Cert Ed PCET and a carpentry skills tutor and OSAT NVQ Assessor,I can't help but answer your querie by the fact I have covered the principles of learning.For a more detailed view of this and more I suggest you google Geoff Petty and his website is like his book Teaching Today,fantastic and easy to understand and of course 'The last word' I must say that first chap who responded to you was ignorant to say the least.Hopefully he is NOT mentoring anyone!
I could say more but you need to see the systems approach to teaching,this ignoramous probably is stuck in the past.

I believe the first key is for one to actually like what they are doing. I have seen too many teachers in it for the wrong reasons, and that shows in the classroom, both with discipline and educational results.
As a teacher for 15 years, one thing I look for to determine my success as a teacher is how far the student has progressed. They might not always reached the predetermined benchmarks set forth by the Dept. of Ed., but if they have grown as a student (and as an individual) I feel they, and I, have succeeded.
Effective teaching engages all students regardless of their level. This not always possible, as some just fall behind, or don't bother, but I feel there is something that every student can excel at. I once had a student tell me that he started doing my work because I sent him on an errand to get my pocketbook. (I had left it in the classroom I was teaching in the pd. before.) He said that b/c I trusted him to do that, he felt safe trying to do the work even though he was terribly weak in all skills. I barely remember the incident, but this resulted in his working in my class and some of his others.
Students respond best when the environment is safe for them both physically and emotionally. Sometimes creating that environment takes time at the start of the new term, but it ultimately save a lot of time later on and thus creates an optimal learning environment that helps you accomplish more in the long run.
I could go on and on..... I hope this helps you.
