This study sought to investigate the relationship between teachers’ effectiveness and students’ academic achievement in Basic Technology in Edo State Model secondary schools, Nigeria using descriptive survey research design. The instruments used to elicit information for this study were Teachers’ Effectiveness Rating Scale (TERS) and Basic Technology Achievement Test. (BTAT). The simple percentage, t-test and ANOVA were the statistical tools used in the analysis of data. The findings of this study included that Basics Technology teachers’ effectiveness was low; teachers’ effectiveness had influence on student’s achievement and that there was no significant difference on students’ achievement in due to teachers’ gender. It was recommended among others that government should organize and provide opportunities for training and re-training programmes through seminars, workshops and conference in order to increase teachers’ effectiveness.
