Dante Cisterna

Dante Cisterna is a research developer in the Research & Development division at ETS. He joined ETS in 2018 after completing his postdoctoral training in science education research at the University of Missouri and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He received a Ph.D. in curriculum, instruction, and teacher education from Michigan State University in 2014, an M.A. in education (specialization in educational assessment) in 2009, a B.A. in science and biology teaching in 2001, and a B.S. in agronomy (specialization in crop science) in 2000—all from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. Cisterna’s current research focuses on science education and assessment. In particular, he explores the features of innovative assessments that reflect the framework described in the Next Generation Science Standards, professional learning to develop science teachers’ knowledge and instructional practices, and assessment tasks that address science topics from interdisciplinary perspectives. He is co-principal investigator of the National Science Foundation–funded grant Student Reasoning Patterns in Next Generation Science Standards Assessment (grant number 2000492). He currently serves as the co-chair on the Publications Advisory Committee of the National Association of Research in Science Teaching and on the editorial review board for the Journal of Science Teacher Education. He is actively involved in science education research and practitioner organizations.
