Barbara Kelley serves as a Visiting Instructor at the McKeown School of Education, Salem State University, specializing in elementary physical education teacher preparation. Her role centers on practical field supervision and curriculum implementation for future educators in K-6 physical education settings.
Her research and professional focus encompasses:
- Elementary Physical Education pedagogy
- Student teacher mentorship models
- Physical activity curriculum design for young learners
- Inclusive teaching strategies in elementary PE
Kelley currently teaches EDC 890P: Student Teaching Practicum in Elementary Physical Education, which immerses candidates in supervised classroom experiences focusing on developmental appropriateness, safety protocols, and standards-based instruction. This course forms the capstone field experience for physical education licensure candidates.
No scientific awards are documented in available sources. Her academic contributions manifest through direct teacher training rather than traditional research outputs. As a practicum supervisor, Kelley provides intensive one-on-one coaching to student teachers during their clinical placements, evaluating lesson delivery, classroom management, and assessment techniques. The absence of grant mentions or laboratory facilities indicates her primary focus remains on instructional delivery within the teacher preparation program.
