TAMAM Student Profile
Student learning is at the heart of TAMAM work. TAMAM is committed to providing the school climate and capacity needed to remove the barriers that inhibit students from developing to their full potential.
TAMAM’s model adopts the term “student leadership” for acknowledging and valuing students as contributors to the teaching learning process and to their societal advancement. In this respect, a student profile was generated that encompasses a set of values, skills, and capacities that a TAMAM graduate should embrace stemming from the notion of student leadership. This profile was developed through a collaborative process that included educators from all its partners, schools and educational institutions.
The “TAMAM student profile” is organized under three main categories:
– A responsible Citizen
– A balanced and moral individual
– A lifelong Learner
TAMAM Student Profile
يقع تعلّم الطلاب في صميم عمل تمام. ويلتزم تمام بتوفير المناخ المدرسي والقدرات اللازمة لإزالة الحواجز التي تحول دون تطور الطلاب إلى أقصى إمكاناتهم.
يتبنّى نموذج تمام مصطلح “القيادة الطلابية” للاعتراف بالطلاب وتقديرهم كمساهمين في عملية التعلّم التعليمي وفي تقدمهم المجتمعي. وفي هذا الصدد، تم إنشاء ملف تعريف طلابي يشمل مجموعة من القيم والمهارات والقدرات التي يجب أن يتبناها خريج تمام النابعة من مفهوم القيادة الطلابية. وقد تم تطوير هذا الملف الشخصي من خلال عملية تعاونية شملت معلمين من جميع الشركاء والمدارس والمؤسسات التعليمية.
تم تنظيم “ملف تعريف الطالب تمام” تحت ثلاث فئات رئيسية:
– مواطن مسؤول
– فرد متوازن وأخلاقي
– متعلم مدى الحياة
– مواطن مسؤول
– فرد متوازن وأخلاقي
– متعلم مدى الحياة
History
بداية مشروع تمام
(AUB)بدأ مشروع تمام عندما قامت الدكتورة سالي التركي، نائب الرئيس الأعلى لمدارس الظهران الأهلية في المملكة العربية السعودية، بالتواصل مع أستاذين في الجامعة الأمريكية في بيروت ، وهما الدكتور صوما ابوجودة والدكتور مراد جرداق، لاقتراح مبادرة إصلاح مدرسية تهدف إلى إنتاج نظريات قابلة للتطبيق مستمدة من السياق الاجتماعي والثقافي في المنطقة العربية.
.جاءت هذه المبادرة استجابة لعدة تحديات رئيسية
غياب قاعدة معرفية تعليمية تستند إلى البحث العلمي ومرتبطة بالثقافة العربية، تتماشى مع أفضل الممارسات العالمية وقادرة على معالجة التحديات التي يواجهها الممارسون التربويون العرب
.ضعف الشعور بالمسؤولية والاستعداد لدى الممارسين في المدارس لقيادة عمليات تطوير مدرسي مبتكرة
.تراجع جودة برامج التطوير المهني المقدمة للممارسين التربويين العرب
.غياب المساءلة وصنع القرار المبني على الأدلة في جميع مستويات النظام التعليمي
في عام 2007، قامت الدكتورة التركي والدكتور ابوجودة والدكتور جرداق بوضع التصميم الأولي لمشروع تمام، وحصلوا على أول منحة من مؤسسة الفكر العربي، مع التركيز على إدخال البحث الإجرائي كأداة للتطوير على جميع المستويات.
انضمت الدكتورة ريما كرمي، الأستاذة المشاركة في الجامعة الأمريكية في بيروت، إلى مشروع تمام كباحثة بعد شهرين من إطلاق المشروع، وسرعان ما أصبحت واحدة من الباحثين الرئيسيين الثلاثة وعضواً في الفريق التوجيهي للمشروع. في هذه المرحلة المبكرة، لم يتضمن التصميم الأولي أهدافاً واستراتيجيات واضحة للتنفيذ، مما جعل دور الدكتورة كرمي في المرحلة الأولى يتمحور حول وضع تصور للربط بين البحث الإجرائي والتطوير المدرسي، وتحديد الاستراتيجيات اللازمة لتحقيق أهداف تمام. ونتج عن ذلك تصميم أنشطة التطوير المهني لبناء قدرات القيادة التربوية لبدء ودفع عملية التحسين المدرسي.
في عام 2012، أكملت الدكتورة كرمي أول تصميم لبرنامج بناء القدرات (الموثق في التقرير الفني الرابع)، والذي أصبح بمثابة الإطار المرجعي الذي يحدد برنامج بناء القدرات ويؤطر الدراسات البحثية لمشروع تمام. كما ساهم هذا النموذج في الحصول على ثلاث منح إضافية من مؤسسة الفكر العربي، بلغ مجموعها حوالي 2,000,000 دولار، مما جعل تمام أطول مشروع بحثي تربوي مستمر التمويل في تاريخ الجامعة الأمريكية في بيروت.
ابتداءً من عام 2015، انتقلت الدكتورة كرمي إلى دور القيادة الكاملة لأنشطة البحث والتطوير في تمام كمديرة إبداعية، بينما واصل اثنان من مؤسسي المشروع (الدكتورة التركي والدكتور بوجاودة) تقديم مساهماتهما في المشروع بصفة استشارية. منذ ذلك الحين، قاد الفريق التوجيهي لتمام، برئاسة الدكتورة كرمي وبدعم من فريق مكون من باحثين ومصممين ومستشارين، أنشطة البحث والتطوير للمشروع.
History
TAMAM Initiation
TAMAM began when the senior vice president of Dhahran Ahliyya School in Saudi Arabia, Dr. Sally Al Turki, approached two professors at the American University of Beirut (AUB), Dr. Saouma Boujaoude and Dr. Murad Jurdak, to propose a school-based reform initiative that could generate actionable theories grounded in the sociocultural context of the Arab region.
(1) the absence of a culturally-grounded, research–based body of educational knowledge in line with international best practices yet capable of addressing the challenges of Arab educational practitioners, (2) the lack of agency and preparedness among school-based practitioners to lead innovative school improvement; (3) the compromised quality of professional development programs offered to Arab educational practitioners; and (4) the lack of accountability and evidence-informed decision-making at all levels of the educational system.
Dr. Al Turki, Dr. BouJaoude and Dr. Jurdak drafted the initial design in 2007, securing its first grant from the Arab Thought Foundation with an emphasis on introducing action research as a tool for development at all levels.
Dr. Rima Karami, an associate professor at AUB, joined TAMAM as a researcher two months after the project launching and soon became one of its three principal investigators and a member of its Steering Team. At that early stage, the initial design did not include fully developed objectives and strategies for implementation. Consequently, a large part of Dr. Karami’s role in the first Phase of TAMAM consisted of conceptualizing the link between action research and school-based improvement and identifying the strategies to achieve TAMAM’s goals. This resulted in designing professional development (PD) activities for building leadership capacity to initiate and drive school improvement. In 2012, Dr. Karami completed the first design of the Capacity Building Program(Documented in Technical Report Four) that became the blueprint that defined the Capacity Building Program and framed research studies for TAMAM. This PD model also served as the basis for securing three additional grants from the Arab Thought Foundation, totaling close to $2,000,000 and making TAMAM the longest continuously–funded educational research project in the history of AUB.
Starting in 2015, Dr. Karami transitioned into the role of fully leading the research and development activities of TAMAM as its creative director while two of the TAMAM initiators (Dr. Al-Turki and Dr. BouJaoude) continued their contribution to the project in an advisory role. Since 2015, the TAMAM Steering Team, led by Dr. Karami and composed of a team of researchers, designers and consultants, is leading the research and development activities of TAMAM.

Self renewing community schools
Vision for self-renewing community school
TAMAM aspires to promote the transformation of schools into self-renewing institutions where educational practitioners collaborate and are actively engaged in professional learning communities to initiate and lead change and improvement to graduate the next generation that leads innovation and change in their society. These self-renewing institutions provide the flexibility and the professional space where exchange of expertise and collaborative work on improvement and student learning can take place. In response, practitioners are motivated to collectively devise innovative approaches and improvement initiatives. This collaborative effort also serves as a platform for continuous learning and growth, allowing those involved to glean insights from both their setbacks and past experiences. These self-renewing institutions not only embrace but also actively undertake the responsibility of fostering cultural and social transformation with a primary focus on shaping students into responsible and engaged citizens. To realize schools as catalysts for social transformation, it is imperative to cultivate leadership capacity at every level, with a particular emphasis on empowering teachers. Through consistent and impassioned mentorship, teachers can effectively serve as role models, enabling students to develop into leaders who contribute significantly to the overall progress of their communities and societies.
Educator
Vision for Educator
TAMAM is dedicated to empowering educators by instilling transformative habits of mind that enable them to become active learners, leaders, change agents, and knowledge producers. Through this empowerment, they evolve into leaders who are reflective thinkers and inquirers, jointly responsible for their educational institution’s success and their students’ achievements. As leaders of their own learning and catalysts for institutional improvement, TAMAM educators acquire a set of rich competencies and skills that trigger and sustain their motivation to improve their educational institutions. This motivation propels them to initiate, lead, and sustain improvement. As such, they engage in formulating an understanding of the problems they face, propose feasible and plausible solutions to these problems, and recommend changes to the existing processes and practices at their educational institutions. While engaged in iterative cycles of inquiry and problem-solving, practitioners remain critical of their deeply held assumptions and open to shifting the professional paradigm that guides their practice. This commitment to inquiry and reflection in action brings about transformational and sustainable change in educational institutions initiated and led by school-based educational practitioners and generates actionable theory suitable for the socio-cultural context of those institutions.
