Dr. Kelly Cline is a Lecturer at Carroll College, specializing in mathematics education and pedagogy. With a Ph.D. in Astrophysics from the University of Colorado at Boulder, he combines his scholarly background with innovative teaching methods such as classroom voting and active learning to engage students across disciplines including statistics, calculus, and astronomy.
- Ph.D. in Astrophysics, University of Colorado at Boulder
His research focuses on improving mathematical instruction through project-based learning, educational technology, and discussion-provoking questions. He has developed classroom voting systems, programming integration frameworks, and manipulatives for geometry, while also exploring applied mathematical modeling in geophysics. His work bridges the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application in education.
Recent publications highlight his expertise in using clickers and classroom voting to address misconceptions in statistics, calculus, and precalculus. These works emphasize curriculum innovation, formative assessment, and resource development for educators. His interdisciplinary approach includes geophysical modeling of avalanches using mathematical techniques.
