Chaya Itzkowitz, Dedicated Special Ed Teacher

Chaya Itzkowitz is a dedicated, trained teacher for Kulanu, who has a Master's degree in General Education and Special Education and has been teaching Special Education for seven years.  She is primarily focused on reaching, helping and engaging our students who may have a difficult time learning in a regular classroom environment and makes modifications so that all the students can gain the most from our program.
 

Chaya's Background
 

​Chaya is the oldest of seven siblings and therefore has a love for being around children and watching them grow and learn. She loves interacting with her students and seeing their successes and growth over the years. Chaya also works in Moshav Bair, NJ during the summers, where she is the head of the specialties and runs the arts and crafts program for children entering kindergarten through sixth grade.

Chaya sees her role in Religious School as igniting the spark of interest in Torah for our students and helping them connect it to themselves and their community. She strives to inspire them to see themselves as a functional, important and special part of the Jewish people and to help them discover how they see themselves connected to Judaism.
