Leadership and Research in Education: The Journal of the OCPEA

Mission:

Leadership and Research in Education: The Journal of the OCPEA offers an
academic forum for scholarly discussions of education, curriculum and
pedagogy, leadership theory, and policy studies in order to elucidate
effective practices for classrooms, schools, and communities.

The mission of the OCPEA journal is to not only publish high quality
manuscripts on various political, societal, and policy-based issues in the
field of education, but also to provide our authors with opportunities for
growth through our extensive peer review process.  We encourage graduate
students, practitioners, and early career scholars to submit manuscripts as
well as senior faculty and administrators.  We accept quantitative,
qualitative, mixed methods, and action research based approaches as well as
non-traditional and creative approaches to educational research and policy
analysis, including the application of educational practices.  

Leadership and Research in Education: The Journal of the OCPEA is a refereed
online journal published twice yearly since the inaugural edition in 2014
for the Ohio Council of Professors of Educational Administration (OCPEA).
The journal will be listed in the Current Index to Journals in Education
(CIJE), and will be catalogued in the Education Resources Information Center
(ERIC) database.

2014 Themed Issue:

BUYING AN EDUCATION? EDTPA AND THE CORPORATIZATION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION

 

There are varying assessments on the ethics as well as the effectiveness and
appropriateness of teacher performance assessment.  Scholars, practitioners,
students, politicians, and those with business interests have differing and
conflicting opinions on how this change in the field will impact the field
itself, and the teachers and students living and working within this system.
According to Linda Darling-Hammond, “Like assessments in other professions,
such as the bar exam or the medical boards, the edTPA is a peer-developed
process that evaluates how well candidates have mastered a body of knowledge
and skills, and a tool that teacher educators and institutions of higher
learning can use to develop their programs. It does not restrict or replace
the judgment of professionals in designing their courses and supervising
their candidates, as they always have” (para 15).  We welcome manuscripts
that detail and dissect the practical and ethical implications of
implementing edTPA for students, teacher educators, and school districts.
