Teachers in Lebanon: Understanding the quality of teachers’ instructional practices and performance

This study presents the findings of the Research for Results initiative, which aimed to carry out a comprehensive review of education service delivery in Lebanon and recommend effective policy measures to improve the quality of teaching and, ultimately, student learning outcomes. As Lebanon continues to suffer from challenges in education from past and recent crises (influx of Syrian refugees, social unrest, economic crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, etc.), studying and measuring the quality of teaching instruction in Lebanese upper elementary classrooms contributes to understanding the gaps in teaching (shortages, absenteeism, etc.) and teaching practices and can be used as a guide for school leadership programs, teacher professional development trainings - including new curriculum design and effective lesson preparation.
