Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to examine the Knowledge Work Supervision model as a paradigm that offers possible solutions to enhance teaching and learning in schools throughout the Sultanate of Oman by transforming those schools into learning organizations. In the 21st Century Information Age society, educational supervision can become a vital role to improve teachers' performance if that process is transformed from an inspectorial model to a knowledge-creation model. Yet, in the Sultanate of Oman, teacher supervision is still based on the inspectorial approach to supervising teachers. A model of supervision that views schools as learning organizations and teachers as knowledge workers is Knowledge Work Supervision (KWS) (Duffy, 1995, 1997; Duffy, Rogerson & Blick, 2000). By adapting the KWS model, teachers will become effective knowledge workers and the Omani schools become learning organizations.
