The Social Context determined by neoliberal policies has turned teacher´s evaluation in results measurement practices, payments for merits and delivering reports unrelated to the complexity of the educative processes. To this situation, this reflective article emphasizes on the pedagogical meaning of teacher´s evaluation as an activity to comprehend teaching work, with the purpose of overcoming grading as a mechanism of professional exclusion and to create transformations to improve educative processes. With this purpose in mind, the characteristics of the context, origins of evaluation and the current educational demands are primarily considered. Secondly, a possible pedagogical meaning for these process is proposed due to the repercussions on the subject formation. This leads to the discussion on the differences in grading and evaluating, emphasizing on the second one which derives in ten basic principles of pedagogical evaluation. Due to objectives in which the research is based, this proposal focuses on the teachers according to the importance of their educative labor so the payment for merit practices and delivering reports can be overcome. Finally, based on the study of the Colombian legislative framework in regard to this matter, evaluation for teachers transcending administrative and bureaucratic interests must be avoided. As a conclusion, beyond the techno instrumental rationality of current teachers' evaluation for salary adjustments, evaluation implies a constant that re-configures the act of human´s formation.
