Chad Killian is a certified K-12 Health & Physical Education teacher and an Assistant Professor for the Department of Kinesiology at the University of New Hampshire. He is committed to supporting quality physical education and physical activity opportunities for K-12 students. His focus is on physical education and physical activity policy implementation to understand student access, and to identify barriers related to the provision of these opportunities. Given the opportunity deficit many students encounter, Dr. Killian is also committed to exploring the design, use, and impact of various digital learning modalities and applications as innovative, practical solutions to addressing barriers to quality physical education and physical activity.
