The study aimed at identifying the degree of effectiveness of educational supervisors in improving the educational practices of the post-basic education school teachers in the Governorate of Dakhlya in the Sultanate of Oman. To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire composed of 34 items was designed. After checking the validity and reliability of the questionnaire, it was administered to 63 male and female teachers. The degree of educational supervisors' effectiveness in improving the educational practices of the post-basic education school teachers was at the average level. The study also indicated the absence of statistically significant differences (p. > 0.0 5) of the perception of effectiveness of supervisors in improving the educational practices of the teachers due to academic qualification, gender and experience. The researchers recommend that teachers should have training sessions to enhance their professional capabilities, specially, in the effective use of educational aids, preparation of teaching plans, production of educational aids, assessment, and strategies of teaching.
