Bio

Dr. Lynda Herrera is an adjunct professor in the School of Education. Dr. Herrera began her career teaching secondary social studies in New York. As a military spouse, she has had the pleasure of teaching at multiple Universities in New York, Kansas, Hawai’i, and Virginia. Dr. Herrera strives to prepare pre-service teachers in the art and science of teaching using interdisciplinary, hands-on, higher-level thinking strategies. Her hope is that students leave her class with a toolbox of strategies they can implement in their classrooms to better connect elementary or secondary students to content in an engaging and stimulating way. She has served on the Editorial Board of the Social Studies and the Young Learner Journal for the National Council of Social Studies since 2011. She enjoys gardening, travel, and time with her husband and two children as she follows them around to various Comic-Cons.
