The study is a causal model development of the quality leadership and management level, technology-based Instruction, and work attitude on teachers' performance in the new normal. The descriptive–correlational, causal–comparative research design was employed using a modified researcher survey instrument. It was conducted in Bangkok Metropolitan Region, Bangkok, Thailand, with Adventist Filipino teachers. The data collected from the questionnaires and Google forms were examined and interpreted using the frequency count and percent, mean and standard deviation, Pearson Product - Moment Correlation, multiple regression, and path analysis. The quality leadership and management level indicated that Adventist Filipino teachers have a good working relationship with the school director/Department head/Coordinator and their co-teachers. Adventist Filipino Teachers have a very high positive attitude to technology and use it for Instruction. Teachers' work attitude indicates a high good character in all sub-variables. The Adventist Filipino teachers' performance is outstanding and commendable. A positive relationship exists between teachers' performance and quality leadership management, technology-based Instruction, and work attitude. The best-fitting model is anchored on quality leadership, management, and teacher work attitude.

“…It is unclear why this discordance existed and why notable teacher rating differences between at-risk and low-risk students were not observed, but it is likely that Omani teachers are not well positioned to make accurate judgments regarding students' language, literacy, and behavioral abilities. Widespread formal education is a relatively recent pol-icy prescription for the Omani population, having been instituted in the last half century, and teaching has transformed from an open access job to which anyone could apply to a more professionalized occupation requiring preservice preparation through colleges and universities, though professional induction and ongoing professional development are still weak (Al Barwani, 2016;Ministry of Education & World Bank, 2012). Consequently, teachers in Oman may lack sufficient knowledge regarding appropriate developmental expectations to distinguish at-risk students from peers because of the relative newness of the profession and limited opportunities for continuous learning.…”

In this study of more than 1,000 typical and at-risk elementary Arabic-speaking students in Oman, we explore relationships between pragmatic (and other) language skills, literacy, cognition, and behavior and the degree to which demography impacts performance on associated tasks. We found, in most cases, that females performed better than males, students' performance improved between Grades 2 and 4 but declined in Grade 5, and at-risk students performed as well as their nonreferred peers except on a working memory task. Pragmatic competence was the best predictor of literacy proficiency, and vice versa, for both groups when controlling for other variables. Findings are discussed in the context of Omani education and the limited attention given to pragmatics in research on connections between language and literacy.

“…He describes those quality teaching endeavours as diverse and engendering effective quality teaching as long as they are followed up at the departmental level. In Oman at Sultan Qaboos University, Al Barwani and Osman (2010) report a successful model for teachers' engagement in quality improvement at the course level the teachers were teaching as part of the sustainable curricula development. A similar initiative is reported by Huson (2015) in GUtech at Oman HE wherein the students were included in evaluating programmes in order to inform institution-wide decision making.…”
