Inaugural Fellow Anita Woolfolk Hoy is a prolific scholar in educational psychology. Her interest focuses on teachers' sense of efficacy, teacher beliefs, classroom motivation, educational psychology in teacher education, and college teaching. Her text, Educational Psychology, is moving into its 11th edition and is the most widely read introduction to educational psychology in the field.
Inaugural Fellow Bruce Tuckman founded and directs the Walter E. Dennis Learning Center. An international leader in motivation research, he has found that students who took his psychology-based study skills program had higher grade point averages and were more likely to return for their next year of college than students who didn't take the class.
2009 Fellow Wayne Hoy holds the Novice G. Fawcett Chair of Educational Administration. He researches collective efficacy, organizational trust, mindful and enabling school structures, school climate and culture, and the social psychology of administration. His text with Cecil Miskel, Educational Administration: Theory, Research and Practice, is one of the world's most widely read in educational administration.
2009 Fellow Patti Lather examines various (post)critical, feminist and poststructural theories, most recently with a focus on the implications for qualitative inquiry of the call for scientifically based research in education. She is the author of three books, including Troubling the Angels: Women Living With HIV/AIDS, a CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book of the Year in 1998.
