One school leader emphasised the importance of being trained specifically for the role of school leader, but until the early 2000s, Norway did not have any particular development programme for school leaders. Since then, national Masters level courses have been developed, and some of the school leaders interviewed had participated in these programmes. The OECD’s Teaching and Learning International Survey (OECD, 2009) highlights the importance of team teaching in Norway. Teacher teams offer opportunities for teachers to reflect on their work and discuss their teaching practices.
