    [abstract] => Teacher effectiveness is a predictor of education quality. Research has shown that teachers’ interaction with instructional resources and the environment contributes immensely to their effectiveness in the learning process. In Nyakach Sub-County, concerns have been raised on the effectiveness of teachers with regard to the frequency of use of instructional resources. This article therefore, purposed to establish the relationship between the influence of frequency of use of instructional resources and teacher effectiveness. The study is conceptualized on the effect of the interaction between Independent Variable (Instructional resources-frequency of use) and Dependent Variable (Teacher effectiveness). Correlational and descriptive survey designs were adopted; target population was 140 high school teachers teaching Literature and 52 High school principals while the sample was 42 teachers of Literature and 17 principals. Systematic random sampling and purposive sampling techniques were used to select Teachers and principals. Data collection instruments were Classroom Observation Guide (COG), Teacher Questionnaire (TQ) and Head of Institution interview schedule (HOIIS). Reliability was established by piloting 10% of the population using test-retest method. Chronbach‟s alpha was used to determine instruments’ reliability with COG and TQ coefficients being 0.833 and0.797 respectively thus considered reliable. Face and content validity were ascertained by experts. Analysis was done through descriptive and inferential statistics. These were by means, standard deviations and multiple regressions. Findings indicated that instructional resources were infrequently used and the relationship between frequency of use of instructional resources and teacher effectiveness has a weak positive correlation and was not significant at (r=0.06, pvalue=0.287>0.05). The study concludes that instructional resources were not frequently used and. that frequency of use of instructional resources was not statistically significant in relation to teacher effectiveness. This means that provision of instructional resources should focus more on level of frequency of use, availability, level of relevance and teacher attitude. These findings may be useful to principals, teachers and curriculum developers in making informed decision with regard to the provision and utilization of instructional resources in secondary schools.
