Adam Metzger

Pedagogista

Adam Metzger is our Pedagogista, working directly with classroom teachers to help develop learning experiences that compliment classroom curricular learning.  He supports teachers with their documentation of student learning to help deepen their reflections on the work and their communication with the parent community.  This role also provides an opportunity to get to know each of the students in our school as he supports the classroom work by leading small group activities with every class, both inside the classroom and in small groups in our Common Space.  

Adam joined the Nursery School as a Floating teacher in 2009, and since then, he has taught in 4 different classrooms, including teaching 2's, 3's and Pre-K.  In the summer,  Adam serves as Director of Camp Settoga, the Marlene Meyerson JCC's day camp in Rockland County, where he welcomes former students as both campers and staff.

During his senior year, Adam worked as an assistant teacher in the nursery school program at Hunter. Upon graduating, Adam attended the University of Michigan, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Hebrew and Jewish Cultural Studies.
