The study population consisted of (652) teachers of the elementary stage in Petra; (169) males and (483) females, in addition to their educational supervisors, which consisted of (16) educational supervisors. About (35%) of the total teachers were randomly selected while keeping on all the educational supervisors. To achieve the study objectives, the analytical and descriptive methodologies were used, the researchers used a questionnaire as a tool for the study which consisted of three domains of the classroom-visit techniques: before, during and after the visit.The study results showed that the teachers and educational supervisors believe that the degree of educational supervisors’ commitment to apply classroom-visit techniques is high.
