ABSTRACT: This research study aims to identify the factors
that influence educational leadership pedagogy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The study took place in the girls’ section of an international school in Dammam
city, Saudi Arabia. Through the application of a mixed research approach of
interviews with four lead teachers and a survey of 72 teachers, a theoretical model that
integrates eight factors of educational leadership pedagogy was developed. The
model integrates best practices to sustain school effectiveness and students’
performance. The model was developed through thematic analysis and validated by
Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The findings revealed several interventions
influencing educational leadership and students’ performance.
