Educational leadership development in England and the Czech Republic: Comparing perspectives

The development of educational leadership programmes and qualifications has become an international phenomenon in recent years. This article is one of a series that springs out of a British Council sponsored conference held in the Czech Republic in 2003, organized jointly by the Educational Management Centre of the Faculty of Education at Charles University, Prague, and the Centre for Educational Leadership of the Faculty of Education at the University of Manchester, UK. One of the key aims of the conference was to develop a dialogue on the topic of educational leadership development between European nations. The paper charts the emergence of leadership programmes in England and the Czech Republic. Key commonalities, differences and emergent themes are outlined.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a norm of this kind to support the Lebesgue differentiation theorem are established. In particular, Lorentz, Orlicz and other customary norms for which Lebesgue’s theorem holds are characterized.
