Abstract

The current study aimed at form standards for evaluation and school accreditation for public schools in the Sultanate of Oman, as the study followed the descriptive approach. The sample consisted of (490) administrators and teachers in government schools, administrative supervisors, and supervisors of school performance evaluation in five educational governorates, in addition to supervisors at the Ministry's general office. The study concluded with a list of (10) standards for evaluation and school accreditation, which are: (strategic planning, management of human and financial resources, school environment and educational climate, community participation, the school building, safety and security procedures, the curriculum and teaching methods used, and methods for assessing achievement and student results, learning resources and laboratories, student services and school activities and school improvement plan). In addition, under each criterion, a set of procedural indicators can be inferred through which the level of achievement of the standard can be inferred, which amounted to (78) procedural indicators. The list of standards has high validity and reliability indicators that enhance its use for evaluation and accreditation purposes.
