Summary, etc. The purpose of this exploratory study was to understand and measure principal leadership and effective practices in private Beirut schools. The 16-item questionnaire was mailed to all 113 school principals after whom 24 (14 women principals and 10 men principals) filled their copies and sent it back. Nevertheless, this study was able to investigate the principals' attitude and approach toward various educational leadership issues such as: traits of effective school principals, their effect on student achievement, priorities of a principal, and many other aspects of principalship. We were also eager to survey the principals' enthusiasm toward having a licensure system for school principals in Lebanon as well as their opinion regarding a Leadership Training Program prior to handling this job. The study revealed that 66% of the principals are above 50 years of age. It also showed that 54.2% of the principals hold a bachelor's degree while only 29.2% have a master's degree. In this study, Lebanese school principals ranked "having a clear vision and a plan to achieve that vision" as the first priority for successful school leaders. While 70% of them agreed that the ministry of education should issue a licensure system to qualify principals in the profession, and 80% supported the idea that a Leadership Training Program is necessary for principals to perform a better job, only 66.7% agree that there is a strong relationship between their role and student achievement. However, the study revealed various interesting facts that were highlighted in details.
