An Upside-Down Approach to Social Innovation at Institutions of Higher Education
Experts commonly assert that social innovation is best taught outside of higher education, given that higher education institutions are prone to rigidity traps. Opposing research suggests that social innovation can flourish within institutions of higher education when they embrace new ways of teaching and learning. Using a student-initiated and led Social Innovation Organization (SIO) at a university in South Asia as a case study, this article co…
Emerging Tensions in Data Work
Youth-serving organizations (YSOs) are under increasing pressure to develop performance measurement systems tracking youth participants and program outcomes. Although the challenges of developing performance measurement systems in human service organizations (HSOs) are well documented, scholarly understanding of challenges in the specific case of YSOs is limited. This study uses participant observations in YSOs, interviews with program staff, and…
Our Kids Aren’t Dropping Out; They’re Being Pushed Out
Poor graduation rates, truancy rates, and standardized tests results have been presented as indicators of a school crisis among Native American youths. This crisis, however, relies on ahistoric and deficit models of intervention, which imagine academic success as an individual- or family-level phenomenon. Responding to Reyhner’s (1991) suggestion to assess the role of schools and teachers in working to push students out of school, we explored the…

This means that its very being and certainly its job in the world is to be used—used to help individuals learn, assess, reflect, and be useful in imagining, proposing, deciding, and recommending whether and how to refine, improve, close, or otherwise respond to the realities of organized efforts to ‘‘make a difference’’ in the material and other wor…
Managing Evaluataion
There is now a clear choice of frameworks for managing program evaluation—the managing of one or more studies or the managing of an evaluation capacity building structure and process. This is a distinction with a difference, and this article conceptualizes that difference and shows how the two frameworks understand three problems common to program evaluation: (a) lack of systematic integration within a larger program improvement process, (b) diff…
