Looking for an opportunity to volunteer at BHS?  WriterCoach Connection 
(WCC -- www.writercoachconnection.org 
<http://www.writercoachconnection.org/>) is a rewarding experience 
working one-on-one with students at every level of writing ability on 
their English class 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_, beginning in October. This year we're coaching 9th and 10th 
graders in AMPS, 9th graders in CAS, and 10th graders in AHA!

Coaching is fun and satisfying --- /"I feel that the experience of 
knowing an adult who truly cares about them as an individual may be the 
best thing we give most students," /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. *Please note 
that all coaching sessions take place during class time.
*

Training sessions begin in September. For the complete training schedule
