In 2005, Marilyn Herasymowych and Henry Senko attended a workshop on Positive Deviance delivered by Jerry and Monique Sternin. Jerry and Monique are leaders in the field of Positive Deviance. You can find more information on Positive Deviance at www.positivedeviance.org
In the fall of 2005, Marilyn and Henry started writing a guide on Positive Deviance. Due to time constraints, this guide has been put on hold until 2007. However, the first chapter has been drafted and is included here for your review. It will give you a fairly good idea of how Positive Deviance works.
Remember that this chapter is draft. It has not be edited or proofread. There are a number of references that are referred to that show Section 8, page ??. This is a place holder for page numbers that will be inserted once the Guide has been written.
