Meet Katherine Weiss!
Katherine joins JCDSRI as our new Kindergarten General Studies Teacher. She earned her BA in Child and Family Psychology from Hampshire College, pursued post-graduate psychoanalytic training, and recently completed an MSEd in Progressive Leadership from Bank Street Graduate School of Education. Katherine has taught in a variety of school settings in New York City, Connecticut, and the Hudson Valley, with a strong focus on constructivist practices.
She is excited to deepen her understanding of her Jewish heritage and explore meaningful connections between General and Judaic Studies. Outside the classroom, Katherine enjoys cooking and baking — often experimenting with new sourdough discard recipes.
