Kelly L. Boles serves as an Assistant Professor of Educational Data Science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and collaborates with Stanford University's Center to Support Excellence in Teaching (CSET) on the Rural Student Success project, which trains rural school districts in data-driven intervention design and implementation.
Her research examines spatial disparities in STEM learning access for students and teachers, emphasizing rural educational equity. Key focus areas include leveraging data science to address geographic barriers in education, teacher professional development frameworks, and context-specific intervention strategies derived from her six years of mathematics and computer science teaching experience in Eastern Kentucky.
Recent publications reveal a concentrated research trajectory in mathematics teacher leadership development and adaptive professional learning models, spanning the disciplines of STEM education and educational research with recurring subfields in rural school improvement, intervention design, and teacher agency.
No scientific awards were documented in the source material.
Dr. Boles currently directs the Rural Student Success initiative—a grant-funded partnership with CSET that supports rural school teams through cyclical data analysis, intervention implementation, and iterative refinement processes—representing her primary active research commitment.
She operates within Stanford's CSET ecosystem as a core project lead, contributing to their mission of advancing STEM education excellence through applied research in underserved communities.
