The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of the evaluation policy on teacher performance in an educational institution in Peru. It was a qualitative research with a phenomenological design, based on the interpretative paradigm. The participants were twenty secondary school teachers, who were interviewed in depth to learn about their perception of the teacher performance evaluation policy and how it has affected their work.
