Purpose: The objective of this study is to develop and validate a comprehensive coaching leadership model for elementary school principals. Methodology: This research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. The qualitative component involved semi-structured interviews with 15 experts in educational leadership to identify key components of the coaching model. The quantitative component included a survey distributed to 353 elementary school principals, with data analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) through SPSSwin20 and SMART PLS 8 software. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire were confirmed with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.85. Findings: The findings indicate that the proposed coaching leadership model significantly improves principals' competencies in instructional leadership, organizational management, and relationship-building. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated strong factor loadings and satisfactory model fit indices (GFI = 0.934, CFI = 0.944, RMSEA = 0.064). The model's effectiveness was further supported by enhanced teacher performance and a positive school climate, corroborating existing research on the benefits of coaching in educational leadership. The study identified key strategies such as professional growth, networking, and organizational support as crucial for effective coaching. Conclusion: The coaching leadership model developed in this study holds significant promise for enhancing the leadership competencies of elementary school principals. By providing personalized support and fostering a culture of continuous improvement, coaching can empower principals to effectively manage school operations, support teacher

Purpose: This research was conducted with the aim of identification and analysis of effective factors on the strategic intelligence of education districts managers of Tehran city and provides an appropriate model. Methodology: The present study in terms of purpose was applied and in terms of implementation method was descriptive from type of quantitative. The study population was managers, deputies and experts of the education nineteen districts of Tehran city in 2020 year, which based on the Krejcie and Morgan table the sample size was estimated 120 people who were selected by randomly sampling method. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire of effective factors on the strategic intelligence of managers (113 indicators) which after two Delphi rounds with Kendall coefficient of 0.678 was designed by 15 experts and its content validity was confirmed by experts and its reliability was calculated by Cronbach's alpha method 0.921. Data were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis and structural equations modeling in SPSS-22 and Smart PLS-3 software. Findings: The findings showed that the effective factors on the strategic intelligence of managers had 113 indicators in 21 components and 2 dimensions; So that the intra-organizational dimension were included 11 components of intelligent planning, support processes, communication processes, power of change and transformation, knowledge management, educational intelligence, moral intelligence, informational intelligence, organizational process intelligence, human resource intelligence and financial resources intelligence and extra-organizational dimension were included 10 components of business intelligence, environmental intuition thinking, technological intelligence, planning intelligence, social intelligence, competitors intelligence, policy-making, communication with people intelligence, targeting intelligence and environmental macro intelligence. Also, the factor load of all dimensions and components was higher than 0.40, their average extracted variance was higher than 0.50 and their reliability was higher than 0.70. In addition, the model of effective factors on the strategic intelligence of education districts managers had a good fit and the model had a significant effect on the intra-organizational and extra-organizational dimensions and the mentioned dimensions on the relevant components (P<0.05).

Purpose: Given the effect of entrepreneurship education on improving employment and increasing the economic level of individuals and societies, there is a great demand for these trainings today. The present study was conducted using the fuzzy Delphi method to design a local model of entrepreneurship education. Methodology: First, using qualitative data obtained from exploratory studies and literature review and interviews conducted in the form of thematic analysis, 60 indicators were developed in the form of 5 dimensions, 16 components and 60 items, and then a questionnaire containing questions in this regard was provided and given to 16 selected experts. For the validity of the results, for the second round, the questionnaires were again sent to the experts. By extracting and fitting the most important factors through fuzzy Delphi method, experts' agreement on common indicators was assessed. Findings: The results showed that four items had lower scores than the criteria and were excluded. Also, the difference between the two stages was lower than the conventional threshold, so the analysis process was stopped. Conclusion: According to the results, it can be said that there is a high agreement on the necessity of the indicators of the mentioned model consisting of five dimensions of individual factors, economic factors, social factors, organizational factors and educational factors.
