Development programs for head teachers in four Central European countries: an international comparison

Original language description

The past two decades have witnessed increasing debate on how to better prepare school leaders for their roles. It has led to a surge ofinvestigations into what constitutes successful school leadership. In many countries, new development programs and certifications for school leaders have been created. The main task of these programs is to provide schoolcentred management trainings that will support effective leaders in head teacher roles. In this article we examine trends in design of development programs for head teachers in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, oland and in Saxony. The purpose of our comparative study is to illustrate how school leader development is organised in four countries in the Central Europe. The requirements for head teacher position and selection of head teachers refer to the underpinning rationales and processes of programs and design refer to the structure, content and teaching and learning methods of these programs. The study identifies patterns in the described programs and stresses that school leadership is exercised within a specific context.
