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 are unable to coach
right now, please tell a friend or neighbor who might be interested. 

 

Two Berkeley Trainings start next week - January 14th and 17th and we have
plenty of room!
