AbstractPointer, Leviticus SeCret. Ed.D. The University of Memphis. December, 2018. Urban School Leadership Preparation Programs Key Factors for Developing School Leaders: What are the key factors Urban School Leadership Preparation Programs use to develop school leaders? Major Professor: Dr. Beverly Cross.This research was designed to identify key factors that are essential for urban school leadership preparation by conducting research, developing proven urban school leadership competencies, and for improving urban school leadership practices which enhance student learning, development and achievement. There was a secondary purpose for this research in determining if culturally relevant leadership practices were utilized as components for the development for urban school leadership preparation. This research provided notable key factors that could impact the development in urban school leaders and as well identified culturally relevant leadership practices that could be utilized in the multifaceted role of being an urban school principal. The top five ranked university urban school leadership preparation programs in 2017\u27s U.S. News World & Report rankings were analyzed through an extensive Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) process. There were two major conclusions in this specific research. The first conclusion provided information in that each program focused on a platform for creating democracy and diminishing marginalization; and creating equity through social justice leadership. The second conclusion was that each program had an exceptional viewpoint for visionary leadership practices that would make society better with adequate preparation. These findings, implications, and recommendations for better preparation for urban school leaders could provide a balanced repertoire set of skills that could assist urban school leaders in becoming successful instructional leaders, community change agents, and social justice leaders through circumspective leadership practices; which ultimately urban school leaders will face in the future of education

Thinking about and working with archives and records: a personal reflection on theory and practice

Looking back over a career that has lasted 40 years (so far) the author reflects on developments in his own thinking and the influences involved. Not least amongst these are: the British public records tradition which predominated at UCL when he studied there; the American historical manuscripts tradition which was in the process of aligning with strands of postmodernism when he held visiting fellowships in the USA; the reconfiguration of Records Management in sub-Saharan Africa in response to public sector reform in which he was involved as an advisor; and the experience of teaching postgraduate students in Britain and overseas. The author’s publications have appeared in a wide range of journals and as monographs, some of them published overseas. Here he draws together the common strands that connect them. Finally he argues that hermeneutic techniques and the concept of fiduciarity deserve to be given serious consideration in debates about archive and records theory

Muslin Wall Hanging Presentation Materials from the 1930s

Earlier this summer someone looking for oil rags at the Lester Larson Tractor Museum remembered there was a drawer of them in an old file cabinet. When unfolding one, and then many more, they discovered that the fabric pieces were actually hand-illustrated, fabric panels which had once been used in Extension presentations. Much as speakers might use a PowerPoint presentation today, these are thought to have been hung at meeting sites and referenced during the course of the meeting/class. Individuals from the Tractor Museum carefully photographed each of the panels and created a spreadsheet of information about them. It is thought that these represent at least four presentations: 1) Housing, Heating, Ventilation; 2) Poultry Housing and Brooders; 3) Organization of the Blumer Farm in Otoe County; and 4) Farm Building Construction. The right column of the spreadsheet includes the names for those panels that were signed. The attached downloadable document includes a spreadsheet listing of the materials and a compilation of low-resolution images. High-resolution photographs (also downloadable) are attached below on this page as “Additional Files”

Sound Corporate Governance and Financial Performance: Is There a Link? Evidence from Manufacturing Companies in South Africa, Nigeria, and Ghana

The study aimed to compare the effect of sound corporate governance on manufacturing companies in South Africa, Nigeria, and Ghana on financial performance. The study used a purposive sampling method to select 60 manufacturing companies, of which twenty-nine (29) were from South Africa, 17 were from Nigeria, and 14 were from Ghana. The study employed GMM and FMOLS to estimate the effect of corporate governance on the firm’s financial performance. According to the study, South Africa has the longest average board tenure at 7.85 years, followed by Nigeria at 4.7 years and Ghana at 3.9 years. The average board tenure was found to have a positive and statistically significant effect on the return on invested capital (ROIC) of the firms in South Africa and Ghana, and a positive and statistically insignificant effect was found for the firms in Nigeria. The study indicated that the firms in South Africa have the highest percentage of female directors at 24.26%, followed by Ghana at 17.8% and Nigeria at 17.3%. The study showed that female representation on the corporate board has a positive and statistically significant effect on all firms’ return on net operating assets (RONOA). The study provides policy implications for shareholders, boards of directors, and other stakeholders by enabling them to build confidence in the corporate governance structure of manufacturing companies in the three countries
