[BHS Etree] VOLUNTEERS: Writer Coaches Needed

Looking for an opportunity to volunteer at BHS and to make a difference? 
WriterCoach Connection (WCC) is a rewarding experience working 
one-one-one ​in the classroom 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 for the remainder of the school year is a total of 
5-6 sessions. This translates to 1-2 times per month for 1-2 hours 
during the school day.  After the Winter break, we will resume coaching, 
depending on the school in mid Jan / or Feb. to May.

​

This 2016-2017 school year we have been coaching the 9th and 10th 
graders in AMPS and the 9th graders in AHA. The BHS coaching teams that 
could use new coaches are on Wednesday and Thursdays during periods ​1 & 
2. If those times/days don't fit your schedule, you might consider 
joining coaching teams at any of the Berkeley middle schools. ​

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.
