Special Interest Groups

Announcing OCTM's Special Interest Groups

As part of OCTM’s strategic vision for promoting positive, collaborative growth in mathematics education, we are pleased to announce the formation of Special Interest Groups. The goal of these Special Interest Groups is to develop strong networks of OCTM members who are interested in specific issues in mathematics education. Networking can be a catalyst to growth and development of our professional practices, and we would like to facilitate this process throughout the state of Ohio.

In the table below, check out the SIGs that are all ready to get started. You are most welcome to sign up for one or more of these or start one of your own. To sign up, just email your topic facilitator and then each facilitator will contact each person in her or his SIG and arrange with their respective group members how to operate as a team. Groups may use such means as email, blogs, discussion boards, local, regional and state conferences, or any other way to get together for professional dialogue on important topics. What is YOUR passion?

If you would like to start a SIG of your own, please contact one of OCTM’s VPs Caroline Borrow at cborrow@hb.edu; Anne Hambrick hambricka@olv-school.org; or Patti Brosnan pbrosnan@ehe.osu.edu who will get you started.
