In Primary, Secondary and High School, quality teaching is guided by broader educational directions, which include and go beyond strictly pedagogical, academic aims. Some ampler educational and formative objectives surpass the pedagogical deeds demonstrated in cognitive areas. By the same token, teaching is not restricted to the mastery of a specific content nor certain didactic competences, but it implies relational, interpersonal and transferential dimensions of a subjective nature, marked by intangibleness. It involves instructional and learning modalities of each educator and also the school environment. It is unlikely they could be measured in a Cartesian way which confers objectivity, without having its essence distorted or the originally intended educational meaning misrepresented. Therefore, the assessments that consider just measuring observable dimensions of the processes that characterize teaching practices and the educational environment in schools and classrooms seem to be limited. The academic community, legislators, assessors and press will play, respectively, important roles as opinion makers, after all, an assessor´s actions always have educative effects, regardless of his/her own willingness.
