Eric Soto-Shed

Eric H. Soto-Shed is lecturer on education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Prior to coming to HGSE, Shed was the director of secondary history/social studies education at Brown University. He received his Ph.D. in Curriculum and Teacher Education from Stanford University, and has also served as a methods instructor at New York University, and with the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP). His work as a teacher educator has been greatly informed by eight years of experience as a high school social studies teacher in three distinct types of urban schools: a small alternative high school, a large comprehensive high school, and an early college magnet school. From the Bronx to Harvard University, Shed’s passion for helping struggling students become critical thinkers has been the driving force in his fifteen-year career as teacher and teacher educator.
