The aims of this study were to: (1) analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing secondary schools in developing teaching effectiveness based on the concept of student growth; and (2) develop strategies of secondary schools for teaching effectiveness development based on the concept of student growth. 258 Thai secondary schools were selected by stratified random sampling as samples, with 516 informant teachers participating. The study revealed the following strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats: (1) regarding teaching effectiveness, the strengths were expertise in the knowledge of teaching, engaging and analyzing student learning processes, and executing an effective classroom, whereas weaknesses were in encouraging a desirable learning environment, and exerting the use of appropriate instructional methods; technology provided opportunities, whereas economic, political and socio-cultural factors were the threats; (2) regarding teacher development, the strengths lay in supervision, evaluation and coaching, whereas mentoring and training were the weaknesses. Five strategies were: (1) enhancing a desirable learning environment; (2) planning appropriate instructional methods; (3) redesigning classroom management; (4) establishing approaches to monitoring student learning processes with engagement and analysis; and (5) advancing the effectiveness of knowledge.
