Russell Korte
Assistant Professor
My interests include investigating and understanding the social dynamics of learning and working in organizations. Recently, I have been studying the socialization experiences of newly hired engineers; specifically how they learned the social norms, that is, the unwritten rules of the organizations they joined. Related to this I have conducted research with the Center for the Advancement of Engineering Education (CAEE). This work entailed studying the experiences of engineering students as they learned their profession in school. Both of these streams of research indicate the primacy of the social system in forming workers’ and students’ knowledge and practices.more information...
Brad Kose
Assistant Professor
Brad Kose’s research investigates how transformative principal leadership and teacher professional development influence and impact teaching practices and equitable student outcomes through qualitative and quantitative studies. Dr. Kose’s research helps illuminate how school principals can provide high-quality teacher learning opportunities for improving all students’—and especially traditionally marginalized students’—academic, social-emotional, multicultural, and citizenship development. This research suggests that contemporary theories often overlook the principal’s important role in supporting teachers’ social identity development and capacity for working with diverse students.more information...

Professor Kuchinke's current research focuses on two areas: The education and training of educators working in human resource development settings in for-profit and not-for-profit organizations around the world as these professional lead learning initiatives to foster organizational and individual growth and development.
