The text covers the first stages of the headteacher function: becoming a headteacher. Presented are the specific phases of the career of each headteacher, specifically the decision to make a career change (to become headteacher), the assumption of the headteacher function, and the adaptation to the new professional role. The reserach on which the contribution is based was conceived as a qualitative investigation. Through the method of life history, important life events in the start of headteachers’ professional careers are outlined. The framework design for data collection and interpretation was the narrative approach in the form of a comprehensive method of life history. The retrospective view makes it possible to grasp the interaction between the image of important life events and the vertical shifts in the hitherto career. Also, the text supports the hypothesis that such stages not only shape the future development of the headteachers’ professional careers but significantly affect school management.

The text represents some of the results of a qualitative research aimed at the recognition of the life and professional careers of basic school headteachers. Attention is mainly focused on the presentation and interpretation of the advanced stages in headteachers’ careers. Following the previous explanatory study about the accession to the headteacher function and the stage of adaptation, the newly identified career stages are interpreted in relation to the developments in headteacher’s attitude to the execution of his/her function. This text brings empirically substantiated arguments explaining the direct relation between headteachers’ professional careers and school management and leadership.

This paper is focused on peer review used by schools as a potential means of support for mutual learning and the development of staff professionalism. It is based on empirical material obtained from The Road to Quality Improvement1, a Czech national project designed to support self-evaluation in schools. Data from 32 schools were collected by questionnaire surveys, interviews, focus groups and document analysis. Main findings are as follows: (1) a prerequisite for successful peer review is previous experience of evaluation activities and work with data; (2) peer review develops participants’ sensitivity in terms of the need for the development of evaluation skills; (3) evaluation activities and work with data develop participants’ professionalism and their potential to contribute to school development.

This article deals with two subjects which form an inevitable part of the discussion on Czech basic schools. First, there is school development from the inside, individual and group learning and organizational development in schools. Second, there is the double task of Czech basic schools to provide pupils with primary and, subsequently, lower secondary education. The aim of the analysis is to compare evidence given by teachers at the primary and lower secondary levels of basic schools about processes which create the dimensions of a professional learning community. Analysis of the data obtained from this research, which was carried out in Czech basic schools, leads to the conclusion that despite a relatively large conformity in the adult actors’ perception of systematicity in handling the subjects of learning, this perception cannot be considered homogeneous.

This paper investigates organizational learning at schools. We use empirical data that were gathered in 2011 in three primary and lower secondary schools. The paper describes the characteristic features of the schools and it discusses the impulses for organizational learning in schools, its topics, applied strategies of managing of organisational learning and also the factors that support or undermine it. The paper concludes by explaining the connected nature of the qualitative phase of the research with a related phase that is designed as a quantitative one.

Authors of the paper discuss the concept of organisational learning. They refer to a wide range of definitions and concepts, point out some diff erences from related or analogous concepts used, such as knowledge management and learning organisation. They note the discussions that relate to key topics. These discussions concern levels at which organisational learning can take place, the eff ect on behaviour or organisational performance. The following section of this article presents organisational learning as a process and describes the stages of organisational learning. The purpose of the article is to provide an overview of eff orts to define organisational learning, including criticism of the results of this eff ort. The last part is devoted to selected theories and empirical findings on organisational learning at school. The authors stress the importance of organisational learning for schools as specific organisations and express request to examine the processes of organisational learning in this context.

This article is one of the outcomes of a research project in which we focused on the recognition of the processes of organisational learning in Czech basic schools (6-15). In this article, we deal with the dimension of the systematic way of organisational learning. In agreement with many other authors we consider the systematic way of organisational learning in schools an important condition for the depth and, therefore, efficiency of organisational learning. We look for an answer to the question of how much influence is exerted by factors in the internal school setting on the systematic way of organisational learning. For this analysis, we use data of a representative survey conducted in two Regions of the Czech Republic.

Though it is laborious to examine the culture of the school, researchers have been endeavouring to empirically apprehend it since the 1960’s. A variety of research jobs have been carried out, of various starting points, ways of materialisation, and conclusions. The present text indicates a way of classifying these studies according to the purposes they had been assigned. Though the list of examples is not entirely complete nor is the classification definite, a conclusion is clear and evident: in most cases, the culture of the school is not examined in order to grasp this culture itself. Much more often, the culture of the school is examined as a starting point, a pre-condition, or a tool to explore another object of the researcher’s interest outside the culture itself, such as the quality and evaluation of the school’s overall performance, the quality of the learning process, or the school’s developmental potential.

The article analyses the concept of data, presents various purposes of working with data in schools and deals with the readiness of people at school to work with data. In the final part the article summarizes selected results of a pilot survey carried out in Czech schools and abroad, focused on finding out how and with what data schools work, which attitudes school leaders adopt towards this activity, how those respondents evaluate their own readiness for work with data and which needs they express in this respect.
