Dr. Eric Sisofo is an assistant professor specializing in mathematics education in the School of Education at the University of Delaware. He earned his Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, Curriculum, and Instruction, his M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration in Mathematics Education, and his B.S. in Mathematical Sciences from the University of Delaware. With a focus on mathematics education, Dr. Sisofo’s education leadership portfolio, the capstone project for his doctoral degree, investigated the effects of lesson study on teacher candidates’ use of student thinking when planning and reflecting on their teaching.  Reflective practice also informs Dr. Sisofo’s own teaching, for which he has been recognized throughout his career. At the University of Delaware, he has been honored by UD Residence Life for Excellence in Teaching and has been continually nominated by the UD Faculty Senate Committee on Student and Faculty Honors for the university-wide Excellence in Teaching Award.  A career educator, Dr. Sisofo taught mathematics at local Delaware middle schools for seven years before transitioning to higher education. For the last ten years, he has taught mathematics education to prospective teachers within the School of Education’s undergraduate elementary teacher education program at the University of Delaware.

I wanted to make connections with other mathematics educators in the state who like to continue to learn and improve their practices over time.

I'd like to continue to support DCTM to grow in different ways to support teachers and students in the state.
