It is usually a survey done only at institutions of higher learning. Basically it is the students assessment of the teachers competency in presenting and delivering course information. As I said, it's usually only seen in colleges and universities.

As a professor with several universities, I was assessed by my students at the end of each term. These assessments were anonymously shared with me to improve my teaching skills and used by the university to determine if I should continue teaching for them.
Typically the student assessments cover:
Does the prof. know the subject?
Is the prof. enthusiastic about the subject?
Are the textbooks used germane?
Does the prof. present the material well?
Is the prof. helpful in resolving issues?
Most of the assessments I've come to know rated each question on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. We were expected to maintain a 4.0 plus average at the universities I worked for.

Depending on the local Board of Education, it would be the evaluation of a teacher. In our school district the assessment of a teacher is evaluated by the school's principal.

ack. It's dreaded.
Depends on what type of school you teach at - in Uni. it's usually student assessing the teachers.
In my school - a high school - I get assessed by my boss. He sits in the back of my classroom and writes notes about my class and my teaching abilities, then calls me into his office and talks about what he saw. He says repeatedly that it's 'to help teachers become better teachers and no one ever gets a perfect evaluation'...and then talks about how I talk too fast and my teaching style is too laid back. It always concludes with
'but you're doing an awesome job!'

Its kind of like midterms for teachers. Some one comes in and sits in on thier class to see how they are teaching and are evaluated on how well they are doing. Teacher assesments on done on every grade level of teachers.

I'm quite certain that is the same thing as an "evaluation".
