Dr. Engdahl has served as Chair of the Department of Teacher Education at Cal State East Bay since 2014. He is President of the California Council on Teacher Education (CCTE). He served on the California Department of Education (CDE) Visual and Performing Arts (VAPA) Standards Advisory Committee, co-chaired the CDE VAPA Curriculum Framework and Evaluation Criteria Committee, served on the CTC Theatre Subject Matter Advisory Panel, and recently co-facilitated a session on CSET test item review.
Dr. Engdahl holds a Ph.D. in Theater History/Criticism from the University of California, Los Angeles, a M.F.A. from the Professional Acting Program at Southern Methodist University, and a B.A. from Pomona College. Many years ago he ran away and joined the circus, spending a season as a Ringmaster. Dealing with clowns, elephants, horses, and a multi-lingual cast – who did not possess one language in common – taught him all about teaching.
His current research agenda focuses on Social Emotional Learning/Culturally Responsive Teaching and Arts Integration. In 2019-2020 he led an “Arts Learning Lab” at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga, Southeast Center for Education in the Arts on SEL and Arts Integration, with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education.
