Purpose of the EDP II Pilot-Principal Self-Assessment Project |
Foster a partnership between school principals and MEHE through which principals:
- Participate in action research by using the standards and indicators of the self-assessment rubric to assess and reflect on their own practice.
- Help in validating the self-assessment rubric by providing valuable information and feedback and specific examples of evidence from real school practices to ensure relevance and appropriateness of the self-assessment rubric for the Lebanese Educational Context.
- Develop a culture of self- assessment that would be reflected on their practices.

Self-assessment Rubric includes a detailed description of:
- Five domains with their corresponding standards and indicators:
- Domain 1: Leadership Values and Vision.
- Domain 2: Leading Teaching and Learning.
- Domain 3: Leading the Management of the Organization.
- Domain 4: Developing Self, People and Teams.
- Domain 5: Developing School and Community Partnership.
- Examples of evidences that describe principal practices aligned to the standards and indicators for the five domains.
- Principal practices across four performance levels (continuum of practice).
|
Phases
Two Orientation Training Days
(10 hrs.) |
- Build a shared understanding of the five domains, their standards and indicators.
- Review and discuss examples of evidence of principal practice aligned to the standards and indicators.
- Assess principal practices along four performance levels.
- Identify and collect a range of evidence aligned with principal practices.
- Practice rating the performance level using the rating process described in the principal Self-Assessment Handbook.
|
First Implementation Phase (6-8 weeks)
(30 Working hrs.) |
Principals are expected to:
- Reflect on their current practices and evaluate using the self-assessment tool to rate their performances on only two domains.
- Provide evidences of practice and supporting documents on the two domains.
- Identify areas of strength and areas in need of growth.
- Reflect on the process and provide detailed feedback to identify areas of standards/rubric that require clarification/fine-tuning.
|
Follow-up Day
(5 hrs.) |
Principals share experiences by:
- Presenting a sample of their work.
- Identifying challenges encountered during the implementation phase.
- Providing suggestions for improving the mechanism of the self-assessment pilot phase.
|
Second Implementation Phase (8-10 weeks)
(30 hrs.) |
Principals are expected to:
- Reflect on their current practices and evaluate using the self-assessment tool to rate their performances on the five domains.
- Provide evidences of practice and supporting documents on a selected domain.
- Identify areas of strength and areas in need of growth.
- Reflect on process and provide detailed feedback to identify areas of standards/rubric that require clarification/fine-tuning.
|
Closing Day
(5 hrs.) |
Principals share experiences by:
- Presenting a sample of their work.
- Identifying challenges encountered during the implementation phase.
- Providing further suggestions for improving the mechanism of the self-assessment pilot phase.
