His teaching comprises methods, content, and research courses, all of which emphasize student engagement. He has been part of numerous professional development projects and institutes, focusing on innovative curriculum, pedagogy and connections to state standards. His previous grant involvement with teachers includes the Maine ESP and the NSF Noyce Scholarship Program. He is part of the leadership team of the Maine STEM Partnership, a member of the advisory board for the Maine Center for STEM Education, and a UMaine delegate to the Mathematics State Collaborative for Assessment and Student Standards, an affiliate of the Council of Chief State School Officers. Dr. Pandiscio&#8217;s research interests include the acquisition of proportional reasoning skills, the development of analytic and synthetic geometric ideas, and the connection between inductive and deductive thinking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Education<\/strong><br \/>\nPh.D. in Curriculum &amp; Instruction, 1994, University of Texas at Austin<br \/>\nM.A., 1991, University of Texas at Austin<br \/>\nB.A. in Economics, 1985, Brown University<\/p>\n<p><strong>Courses taught at UMaine<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>EHD 101: The Art and Science of Teaching<\/li>\n<li>MAT 305: Mathematics for Secondary School Teachers<\/li>\n<li>EMA 314: Teaching Mathematics in Elementary and Middle School<\/li>\n<li>EMA 598: Special Topics in Mathematics Education<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sample publications<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"TF\"><span class=\"tf\">Dimmel, J., <strong>Pandiscio, E.<\/strong>, &amp; Bock, C.
