About me
Hi! I'm Jo Weller, director of the Brown Family Foundation in Kansas City—and a lifelong math enthusiast. Before stepping into philanthropy, I spent years in the classroom as a math teacher, so my heart is still very much in lesson plans and lightbulb moments. Our foundation has been proud to support Building Thinking Classrooms in Kansas City for the past two years, and I’m excited to level up some skills alongside an incredible crew of math teacher leaders from KC schools. Come find me if you want to talk about supporting instructional coaching, scaling math PD, or the art of keeping AP Calculus student-centered and 21st-century relevant.
