Bio
Knotek’s research interests focus on the design and implementation of social innovations that promote child and youth’s development by enhancing the capacity of care providers (e.g., teachers, coaches, parents, school counselors and psychologists) to understand and meet students’ mental health and/or educational needs in school and community settings. He engages in social innovation research in two basic ways: (a) creating social emotional learning programs with content that targets high impact and malleable psychological (e.g., sense of self) and social (e.g., creating and maintaining positive relationships) factors to promote students’ thriving in school and community settings, and (b) developing an implementation coaching model to bridge the “science to service gap” and allow innovation adopter’s (e.g., teachers, coaches) to effectively use a newly acquired evidence-based program in their actual work setting. The following three examples of his work highlights these interests.
His interests have been heavily influenced by his professional experience working with children, youth and families in formal and informal educational settings. Prior to becoming a professor he worked in a children’s museum, as a therapist for seriously emotionally disturbed children and adolescents in an inner-city community, and then finally as a psychologist serving minority students in underserved rural counties. This work highlighted for him the resilience and competence inherent in children and youth, their families, and their caregivers. As a museum educator he was privileged to see children learn to love the pursuit of knowledge by actively using the tools and methods of science to solve problems and understand nature. Working as a therapist highlighted the community and cultural wealth families possess and how they can use this wealth to navigate and succeed in demanding urban settings. Finally, as a school psychologist he was able to collaborate with professionals and parents who shared the same overarching goals for promoting the success of their students’ academic and social-emotional functioning in and outside of school settings.
