Dr. Lisa Winstead
Dr. Lisa Winstead joined the faculty in
2006 after receiving her doctorate from the University of the
Pacific in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Language,
Literacy, and Culture. Before coming to CSUF, she taught ESL for
two years in Japan and then taught another nine years at a 6th-
to 8th-grade middle school in northern California. Three
of those nine years were spent as Chair of ELD and implementing an
alternative dual language program for Spanish-speaking newcomers. A
few years later, she became the Social Studies Curriculum Leader
working closely with the Sacramento County Office of Education,
River City Network, and Middle School Partnerships.
Dr. Winstead regularly presents at local
and national conferences such as AERA and CABE, focusing on literacy
development and dual immersion. She has published articles in the Educational Research Quarterly and Middle Ground.
Before becoming an educator she wrote articles for the California
Journal and reported on the plight of migrant workers, local
Latino role models, and education for ABC affiliates in Sacramento
and Redding, California.
As part of the Multiple Subjects
Credential Program coursework, Dr. Winstead teaches Graduate Social
Studies in Elementary Education as well as English Learner Inquiry
and Teaching Methods. She has also taught Methods in Second
Language Pedagogy at California State University, Sacramento.
Her current research agenda includes
issues of the new Diaspora, second language acquisition, classroom
research, ethnographic and historical analysis, as well as
multicultural, cross-cultural, and international education.
