Abstract This study determines the factors influencing teacher effectiveness through an examination of differences in teacher competence, burnout, and professional development attitudes among secondary school teachers. Quantitative research design was used involving a sample size of 400 teachers. Differences were measured based on gender, location, and teaching experience using independent sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results indicate that there is no statistically significant difference between men and women in teaching competency and professional development attitude. However, there is a difference in burnout whereby women report higher burnout than men. There are statistically significant differences based on location where teachers working in urban areas have better competency skills and professional development attitudes compared to their colleagues working in rural areas. Those in rural areas have higher burnout levels. Differences are also evident among teachers based on teaching experience whereby those with 16 years or more experience exhibit higher competency skills, lower burnout levels, and better professional development attitudes than those with little experience.
