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 11th 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 December. For the complete training 
schedule or more information, go to www.writercoachconnection.org

contact site coordinators  Jeanne Schuman (schumanj4 at gmail.com
