Dr. Josh Wise

Faculty Chair

Rabbi Dr. Josh Wise

Rabbi Dr. Josh Wise comes to us with significant experience in schools both large and small. Dr. Wise began his teaching journey as part of the initial cohort of the Jewish New Teacher Project, and often looks back at that experience as a model to help other new teachers. Dr. Wise has taught across the K-12 spectrum, and has developed a deep knowledge of how all students learn. 

Dr. Wise earned a BA in Brain and Cognitive Science at MIT, an MA in psychology from Ferkauf (YU), an EdD in Educational Administration from the Azrieli School of Education (YU), and rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Zalman Nechemia Goldberg.

Dr. Wise has mentored and supervised teachers for 20+ years, and recognizes that every student (adult and child alike) has their own style of learning and developing. This naturally leads to helping teachers see the same. Whether the ultimate goal is getting students to gain a deeper understanding of STEM concepts, or guiding teachers to find the best pedagogic practices for themselves, Dr. Wise relies on best practices of leadership, taken from individuals such as John Maxwell and Patrick Lencioni, to develop the next generation of educators.
