ICPEL (NCPEA)
Established in the U.S.A. in 1947 as NCPEA, the International Council of Professors of Educational Leadership (ICPEL) is dedicated to the enhancement, advancement and continuing professionalization of the educational leadership professoriate. Our members are both scholars and many are former school practitioners (principals and local, county and state superintendents). The advancement of our field and its continuing relevance and effectiveness requires a unique blend of research and practice. Those hallmarks have always been the imprimatur of our organization since its inception.
