[BHS Etree] VOLUNTEERS: Writer Coaching at BHS

[BHS etree]

PLEASE do not reply to this email, contact Sahib-Amar Khalsa, sakk at mindspring.com

Looking for an opportunity to volunteer at BHS? WriterCoach Connection (WCC) is a rewarding experience working one-on-one with students at every level of writing ability on their writing assignments. In partnership with teachers, trained writer coaches help students strengthen their writing and thinking skills by giving them constructive feedback, challenging them to think more deeply, and building their confidence as writers. The time commitment is only 1-2 hours, usually twice per month, during the school day. This year we're coaching 9th and 10th graders in AMPS; 10th graders in CAS; and 10th, 11th and 12th graders in Green Academy!


Coaching is fun and rewarding — “the highlight of my week,” says one coach.
 
You don’t need to be a writer or teacher — WCC coaches are parents, college students, working and retired people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and ages. Our in-depth training will give you strategies and practice to work effectively with students, including your own. If you can’t coach, please tell a friend or neighbor who might be interested.
Training sessions are beginning in September. For the complete training schedule or more information, go to www.writercoachconnection.org (click on "Volunteer"). Or contact site coordinators Sahib-Amar Khalsa (sakk at mindspring.com ) or Jeanne Schuman (schumanj4 at gmail.com).
