Kelly Wallace, PhD

Clinical Assistant Professor, Elementary and English Education

Biography

Kelly Wallace is clinical assistant professor of elementary and English education. 

The University of Tennessee is Wallace’s home away from home. She spent a collective ten years here as a student, so it was fitting for her to start her higher education career here. Her role includes supporting elementary interns in the urban multicultural cohort.

Currently, she is immersed in learning how to successfully lead the interns through edTPA and learning the nuances of the different schools in which our interns are working. The most enjoyable aspects of her work are observing her students teach in their elementary classrooms and coaching them to be culturally relevant teachers.
