The NCPEA Connexions Knowledge Base utilizes the following classification structure:

 

1.  Historical, social, cultural & philosophical foundations.

2.  Research methods.

3.  Learning theory.

4.  Curriculum.

5.  Student services.

6.  Administration of special programs.

7.  Personnel.

A Table of Contents lists accepted articles within each of the above domains in chronological order of acceptance, along with their “Connexions” Reference Number, and the Volume and Number of the issue of the on-line International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation (IJELP) in which they appeared.   Within each of the above domains of the Knowledge Base, NCPEA continues to look for the following types of material:

 

1.  Annotated literature reviews.

2.  Papers on key ideas and theories (with supporting data).

3.  Opinion pieces.

4.  Instructional modules.

5.  Case studies and simulations.

6.  Practitioner stories.

7.  Performance assessments.

8.  Related web sites.

9.  Dissertations.

10.Course syllabi.

 

            The following outline lists the above domains and existing content.   As one can easily see, many domains lack material of the above ten types.   However, more importantly, I have identified “needed” content which I believe would make this knowledge base more useful.  I am also suggesting sub-headings marked with an asterisk (“*”) for inclusion within the NCPEA Knowledge Base.
