New Teaching Talent - Benjamin Caswell
Benjamin Caswell and his family moved to Alaska from American Fork, Utah. Ben earned his bachelor degree in secondary education from Brigham Young University in Hawaii. As a student teacher, he found a passion to teach children in need, utilizing his own personal experience to overcome a reading disability as a child. Ben moved to Utah and enrolled in a special three-year program at Brigham Young University. He obtained his education specialist degree in school psychology. Ben was previously a school psychologist at the Alpine School District in Utah and the Griswold School District in Connecticut.
As a school psychologist, Ben enjoys the wide variety of experiences his work offers at seven different KPBSD school locations: Seward Elementary School, Seward Middle School, Seward High School, Moose Pass, Hope, Cooper Landing and Spring Creek. "I am really impressed with the schools here, especially the small schools. I was skeptical at first. I wasn't sure if a small school could offer a comprehensive education like the big schools. They certainly do that and it's a big strength of this school district," explains Caswell.
Ben, his wife Megan, and their 2 boys Tucker and Russel, enjoy all of the outdoor offerings on the Kenai.
