Barbara Clark was awarded her doctoral degree in Educational
Psychology from Washington State University in 1981. She has over
25 years of experience in the fields of educational research, teaching,
consulting, and public school counseling. She began her career at
the University level, where she taught undergraduate and graduate
courses in Educational Psychology, Research Design, and
Educational Statistics and Measurement. Upon moving to Southern
Oregon, she worked for 18 years as a Certified Child Development
Specialist, teaching affective education and counseling elementary
children. For the past 5 years, she has worked as a licensed School
Counselor at a high school with over 2,000 students, where she has
taken an interest in school security and positive behavior support .
For many years, she has served on the Executive Board of the
Riverside Center, a non-profit agency serving the needs of severely
emotionally disturbed youth.
When working with young children at the elementary level, Barbara
and Diane saw the need for a simple and pragmatic conflict
resolution program, and they were inspired to create "Kelso's
Choice." The philosophy of the program reflects her belief in the
intrinsic promise and capability of all individuals, as they have the
power to make clear and positive choices in their lives.
Barbara, her husband, and their genial Golden Retriever can be
located in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range, when they are
not traveling to visit family and friends in Australia and England.
In recent years, she's been spotted snorkeling off the Great Barrier
Reef, tramping through the Queensland tropical rainforest, and
piloting a canal boat in England and Wales.
