A
My
name
is
benjamin
august.
I
go
by
ben
and
my
title
is
assistant
principal
for
byram
hills
high
school.
So
I
came
to
education
via
australia
because
that's
where
I
grew
up
went
to
college
there
and
trained
as
a
teacher
as
a
high
school
teacher-
and
I
eventually
became
a
theater
teacher
in
new
york
city-
did
a
lot
of
work
with
the
state
helping
to
rewrite
the
arts
standards
and
and
teaching
english
to
students.
A
And,
ultimately,
I
started
getting
involved
with
school
administration
in
the
form
of
scheduling
and
doing
new
course
proposals
and
aligning
standards
with
student
interests
and
finding
ways
to
make
the
policy
work
for
students.
Basically
that,
where
that
led
me
was
to
a
district
administrator
position
as
an
academic
policy
supervisor,
which
is
where
I
was
immediately
before
joining
byram.
But
like
all
educators,
I
missed
the
students,
and
so
when
I
found
out
that
there
was
an
opportunity
to
join
byram,
I
was
really
excited
about
it.
A
I
think
that
I'm
a
person
who
gets
a
lot
of
joy
from
being
connected
with
people
and
being
able
to
to
learn
about
people's
passions
and
interests
and
work
to
support
them
and
to
be
part
of
a
community.
So
I'm
really
excited
about
joining
byram
hills,
because
I
think
this
is
a
special
place
where
there
is
so
much
investment.
