Jo Brooks teaches AP Calculus AB and BC, C++ Programming and Algebra II with the DoDEA Virtual High School. Brooks, a DoDEA graduate of Kinnick High School in Yokohama, Japan, has been with the virtual school for 16 years.
In 1972, Brooks received her Bachelor of Science in Education from Western Montana College in Dillon, Mont. In 1986, she received her Masters of Science in Math Education from Troy State University in Troy, Ala.
Before teaching with DoDEA, Brooks taught mathematics and Spanish both overseas and stateside.
Brooks has served as the union FRS and local president for DoDEA's distance learning teachers for 13 years. She is also on the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development and the Mathematics Association of America.
Brooks says that while it can be a challenge to teach from a distance, it is also very exciting to continually learn ways to enhance the learning experience for the students through the use of technology.
Brooks is looking forward to the expansion of the virtual school to make it available to more students, who want or need to take courses.
In her spare time, Brooks is active in the community and serves as treasurer for the Save Our Strays (SOS) Animal Shelter. She and her husband also own a cage less dog boarding business, Dog Days, in Enterprise, Ala.
