A Qualitative Analysis of Success Stories From Michiana Coordinated School Health Leadership Institute Participants

The purpose of this study was to detect and document common themes among success stories
along with challenges
as related by participants in the Michiana Coordinated School Health Leadership Institute. Four-member teams from 18 Michigan and Indiana school districts participated in semiannual Institute workshops over a 3-year period and were tasked with implementing Coordinated School Health Programs (CSHPs). Qualitative methods were used to generate themes from interviews. Data were gathered through a combined survey/interview process related to programmatic successes
evidence of success
and implementation challenges. One participant from 11 of 18 participating school districts completed the survey/interview. Although the Institute required only process evaluation
some participants collected outcome data
a task that is important in validating the benefits of CSHPs. Most districts were not able to hire the recommended coordinator to ensure implementation of health program planning initially developed during the institute. Encouragingly
at the time of data collection many teams were still acting to ensure health programming remained a priority. Nevertheless
without the network of social support provided by the Institute
some respondents struggled to maintain momentum.\n
A Qualitative Analysis of Success Stories From Michiana Coordinated School Health Leadership Institute Participants
With the rise of massive scale
globally distributed creative communities
such as Deviant Art
Etsy
and Minecraft
the role of creative leadership in socio-technical systems is worth investigating. This paper presents a case study of one strategy Etsy
one such online creative community
uses to articulate the creative dispositions of the community’s exemplar members: Featured Seller interviews. For this study
we report on a combined content analysis and close reading of Featured Seller interviews on Etsy.com
followed up with member check interviews. Our analysis highlights the demographics of featured sellers
the ways in they express their identities and creative processes
and how they position themselves within the broader Etsy community. Our findings demonstrate that Etsy’s administrators provide both a platform and scaffolding for community leaders to co-articulate with them the creative ideals they believe will strengthen the bonds of the Etsy community.
From organizational to community creativity: paragon leadership & creativity stories at Etsy.
