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.
8. Educational management.
9. Educational leadership.
10.Human relations.
11.Organizational change.
12.Site-based leadership.
13.School law and policy.
14.School business and finance.
15.School public relations.
16.School facilities.
17.District leadership.
18.Educational leadership preparation.
19.Technology leadership.
20.International contributions.
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.
