HELP OUR STUDENTS SUCCEED - BE A WRITER COACH!

WriterCoach Connection trains volunteers to work with students in
their English classes, one-on-one, on their writing assignments. You

involved in the Berkeley High community, consider becoming a part of
this enriching and rewarding program. Only 2 hours of your time, twice
per month, is needed.

Why: Here are just a few reasons - 

"This is a program that works. It helps give students a sense of
mastery and accomplishment." - Writing Coach

"My students' actual performance on writing assignments began to
improve significantly. I noticed that I was recording fewer D's and
F's on their report cards. It didn't take long for me to realize the
connection." - Susannah Bell, BHS English teacher

"Coaching raised most of my grades and put me back on the right
track." - 9th grader
