Steven Bowen

 

Educational background:

* B.S. in Physical Psychology, B.A. in Studio Arts from the University of California at Riverside

* Single Subject teaching credentials in English and Art from San Francisco State University

 

Teaching experience:

* Substitute teaching in the South San Francisco Unified School District

* Long-term substitute teaching there in the Special Education program

 

 Other experiences that have made me a better teacher:

 *Working as a couselor and a teacher with emotionally disturbed children at Burt ChildrenŐs                  Center in San Francisco for a year.

 

 Sports, hobbies, special interests:

 *Classical guitar, hiking, editing my churchŐs newsletter.

 

 Why I became a teacher:

 *I became a teacher when I discovered how rewarding the work could be and when that reward became a goal.  

 

What I love about teaching: 

 *Watching the young become proficient in a new skill is wonderful.  Watching a child simply grow through the extent of a year is educational in itself.

 

Why I came to Bethel Prep:

 *Watching my sonŐs growth and development at Bethel Prep last year convinced me to apply for work in this supportive Christian environment.

 

What I look forward to at Bethel Prep

  * The high standards and excellence in both curriculum and staff.

  * Being involved in GodŐs work and will.
