Family-Centered Early Intervention Deaf/Hard of Hearing (FCEI-DHH): Structure Principles
This article is the seventh in a series of eight articles that comprise a special issue on family-centered early intervention for children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families, or FCEI-DHH. This article, Structure Principles, is the third of three articles (preceded by Foundation Principles and Support Principles) that describe the 10 FCEI-DHH Principles. The Structure Principles include 4 Principles (Principle 7, Principle 8, Princ…
Family-Centered Early Intervention Deaf/Hard of Hearing (FCEI-DHH): Foundation Principles
This article is the fifth in a series of eight articles that comprise a special issue on Family-Centered Early Intervention (FCEI) for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and their families, or FCEI-DHH. The 10 FCEI-DHH Principles are organized conceptually into three sections (a) Foundation Principles, (b) Support Principles, and (c) Structure Principles. Collectively, they describe the essential Principles that guide FCEI for childre…
Family-Centered Early Intervention Deaf/Hard of Hearing (FCEI-DHH): Introduction
This article is the first of eight articles in this special issue on Family-Centered Early Intervention (FCEI) for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH), or FCEI-DHH. In 2013, a diverse panel of experts published an international consensus statement on evidence-based Principles guiding FCEI-DHH. Those original Principles have been revised through a coproduction process involving multidisciplinary collaborators and an international consen…
Family-Centered Early Intervention Deaf/Hard of Hearing (FCEI-DHH): Cultural & Global Implications
This article is the third in a series of eight articles that comprise this special issue on family-centered early intervention for children who are deaf or hard of hearing and their families (FCEI-DHH). It highlights the origins of FCEI-DHH in Western contexts and well-resourced locations and emphasizes the role of culture(s) in shaping FCEI-DHH. This article also cautions against the direct application of the 10 FCEI-DHH Principles presented in …
Family-Centered Early Intervention Deaf/Hard of Hearing (FCEI-DHH): Support Principles
This article is the sixth in a series of eight articles that comprise a special issue on Family-Centered Early Intervention (FCEI) for children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and their families, or FCEI-DHH. The Support Principles article is the second of three articles that describe the 10 Principles of FCEI-DHH, preceded by the Foundation Principles, and followed by the Structure Principles, all in this special issue. The Support Princip…
Looking for impact in all the wrong places: Setting realistic expectations and measurable outcomes for small-scale community building initiatives
This paper examines the process and outcomes from a five-year, community-based participatory research (CBPR) study of a community building initiative to strengthen two neighborhoods in a mid-size, Mid-Atlantic city. In addition to supporting over 50 resident-led projects during the five-year initiative, outcomes included positive changes in resident perceptions about some aspects of neighborhood safety, cleanliness, greening, and vibrancy, and in…
Diversifying the Pipeline of Social Work Students Prepared to Implement Performance Measurement
Equitable opportunities for performance measurement learning among social work graduate students can create a diverse professional pipeline toward higher performing organizations. A Foundation-University partnership was developed to “expand the bench” of students, primarily of color, trained in performance measurement with the Results-Based Accountability (RBA) framework. Through an RBA designed course, 140 (50% of color, and 80% women) students …
Walking the Talk in Participatory Philanthropy
The philanthropic sector has been called on to increase community engagement and beneficiary voice in funding decisions — in other words, to democratize philanthropy — and foundations have responded with a variety of innovative grantmaking models. One of those, participatory grantmaking, comprises practices that range from soliciting feedback from constituents to encouraging their active participation in or control over grantmaking decisions, pro…
Building Knowledge to Support Human Service Organizational and Management Practice: An Agenda to Address the Research-to-Practice Gap
Leaders of human service organizations (HSOs) face significant pressures from policymakers and funders to justify practices and ensure successful outcomes, an issue that has implications for social work practitioners and evidence-informed management practice. Although empirical research has advanced understanding of the factors that improve human service effectiveness and organizational improvement, considerable research-to-practice gaps exist an…
Implementation and Impact of Results-Based Accountability Learning: Successes and Challenges With Human Service Professionals of Color in Urban Agencies
A foundation-university partnership was developed to expand the bench of human service professionals (HSPs) of color trained in performance management with the results-based accountability (RBA) framework. Interviews and survey data reflect the RBA learning, application, and implementation experiences among three cohorts of HSPs of color ( n = 39) representing a variety of urban nonprofit and public agencies ( n = 35) in a metropolitan area. The …
Validation of the Use of the Effort-Reward Imbalance Scale in Human Services Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis
The effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model and scale are well-established in the human services literature as useful and valid mechanisms for studying the mismatch between employees’ perceptions of the amount of effort expended on work tasks and the rewards received for those efforts. In the almost 20 years since its introduction, the ERI scale structure has been analyzed by a number of researchers from inside and outside the human service fields, w…
Voice and Community in the Corporate Academy: A Collective Biography
This article is the story of the simultaneous feminization and corporatization of universities, themes that emerged in a test of a collective biography, a qualitative research method. Organizers brought together 12 macro social work academic women across generations and, through sampling, attempted to avoid the intergenerational splitting that seems to be leaving junior faculty to be socialized by administrators while simultaneously isolating sen…
Exploring Collaboration Among Urban Neighborhood Associations
This paper examines collaboration among geographically close neighborhood associations to determine whether they share similar priorities, if they have collaborated on specific projects, and to what extent they desire collaboration to help achieve their goals. Structured interviews/questionnaires were used to gather information about ten neighborhood associations clustered within an urban community. Results show that all ten associations are stru…
Occupational conditions and workers' sense of community: Variations by gender and race
The literature is reviewed to define a sense of community in the workplace and to identify factors that may foster it. A model is developed and estimated with survey data from a culturally diverse sample of men and women performing lower‐level jobs at a medium‐sized manufacturing firm. Results of regression analyses are reported that correct for sample selection bias resulting from the lower response rates of minority workers. Findings suggest th…
