OCTM welcomes our new Executive Director
On May 1, Dave Kullman joined the OCTM leadership team as our new Executive Director. Dave is retired from Miami University (Professor Emeritus in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics) and brings to OCTM a wealth of experience, knowledge, and dedication to supporting mathematics teaching and learning. Dave was the president of OCTM from 1989-1991 and has served in many leadership positions in OCTM, the Mathematical Association of America, and other organizations. Dave has a particular interest in the history of mathematics and how it applies to classroom teaching, and he will be facilitating the Special Interest Group for this topic. We welcome Dave back to the board, and we are excited to work with him in serving and supporting the organization as well as teachers and students across Ohio.
Announcing OCTM Special Interest Groups
As part of OCTM’s strategic vision for promoting positive, collaborative growth in mathematics education, we
