Lebanon SEL Framework Mapping Project

The Lebanon Social and Emotional (SEL) Framework Mapping Project uses the process developed by the Taxonomy Project to conduct an empirical mapping to identify similarities, differences, and gaps in competencies included in SEL-related frameworks used to date/developed in Lebanon. The Taxonomy Project seeks to create greater precision and transparency in the field of SEL and to facilitate more effective translation between research and practice. The objectives of the current project were to: (a) train Lebanese government staff on the Taxonomy coding system and mapping methodology; (b) identify and code SEL frameworks being used by the Lebanon Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) and the Center for Educational Research and Development (CERD); (c) create a suite of online interactive data-based tools to support a better understanding of the similarities, differences, and gaps in the SEL skills being targeted by different frameworks and departments within MEHE and CERD; and (d) support a consensus process toward identifying priority SEL competences for Lebanon.
