Darchai Menachem Hires New Director of Special Education

Darchai Menachem announced that Mrs. Sora Kopfstein, who has over 30 years of experience will assume the role of Director of Special Education to ensure every student receives the support they need to thrive.

Darchai Menachem is thrilled to welcome a new member to its leadership team this fall: Mrs. Sora Kopfstein, a seasoned professional with over 30 years of experience in the field of special education. Mrs. Kopfstein assumes the role of Director of Special Education here in Darchai Menachem, and her mission is clear: to ensure every student maximizes their potential by receiving the support they need to thrive.

Mrs. Kopfstein has been in Special Education in the UK for the past 30 years, where she honed her skills and developed an unwavering dedication to individual student success. Her wealth of experience and knowledge will help the entire Darchai Menachem staff address the needs of its diverse student body.

“We are thrilled to have Mrs. Sora Kopfstein join our dedicated team of educators,” shares Rabbi Menachem Vail, Executive Director of Darchai Menachem. “With her extensive experience and heartfelt dedication, Mrs. Kopfstein brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our school. Her passion for empowering students with unique learning needs and her commitment to their individualized growth make her an excellent addition to our leadership team.

One of the challenges faced by schools catering to children with differentiated learning needs is the fragmentation of support. Often, students receive individual assistance through therapists or support staff, but these services remain separate from the classroom environment. This disjointed approach can lead to a lack of integration, limiting the student’s potential to thrive. The Director of Special Education will now bridge this gap by integrating various support systems directly into the classroom. By doing so, students will benefit from both individualized attention and a nurturing classroom environment. This innovative approach ensures that every child receives the best of both worlds, unlocking their full potential.

“I am thrilled to join Darchai Menachem and work alongside the educators and students,” Mrs. Kopfstein says. “Darchai Menachem is such a unique school and my aim is to build on the success of its Mechanchim to continue to create an environment where every child feels supported and empowered to succeed.”

The new staff updates will surely enhance student learning as Talmidim return this fall for the 5784 school year.
