During the banquet at our conference this past October, several OCTM members wrote a brief note to Dr. Shetler to thank him for his role in the creation of our organization. Duane Bollenbacher (OCTM Historian) was able to visit Dr. Shetler to share our message of gratitude. Many commented on the impact Dr. Shetler's "Mathematics of Bubbles" presentations had made on them. We are saddened to share that Dr. Shetler passed away on December 15, 2018. (You can read his obituary for further details about his life.) When Duane shared the news of Dr. Shetler's passing, he mentioned how appreciative Dr. Shetler was of the note from OCTM.  As an organization, we are
incredibly grateful for the work of those who came before us. We truly
stand on the shoulders of giants. In honor of those who have come
before, we will begin a new series in February to highlight charter
members and other leaders of OCTM. Find this and other OCTM history at this page on our site. ******** Professional Opportunities in Ohio for Mathematics Teaching and Learning View professional development opportunities that are open to all Ohio mathematics educators at the OCTM event calendar HERE.
