This research was conducted with the objective of designing a model for transferring the lived experience of school principals regarding the effectiveness of educational and pedagogical decisions. The study is applied in terms of purpose, qualitative in nature, and utilizes a phenomenological methodology. The statistical population comprised all female lower secondary school principals in Khorramabad during the 2024–2025 academic year, totaling 56 individuals based on official reports from the Lower Secondary Education Department of Khorramabad. Using purposive sampling combined with the snowball technique, a sample size of 5 participants was selected. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted across 5 sessions. The results revealed three subcategories under contextual factors influencing the effectiveness of principals' educational and pedagogical decisions: required managerial skills, personal attributes of the principal, and institutional deficiencies. Furthermore, six subcategories were identified regarding effective strategies and measures: instilling motivation and enthusiasm, fostering positive and harmonious workplace relationships, supporting employee professional development, utilizing modern and adequate equipment, conducting regular supervision of staff educational and pedagogical performance, and collaborating with experienced educational personnel. These six subcategories served as the core components in designing the lived experience transfer model for school principals regarding decision effectiveness.
