For over 10 years at Berkeley High, volunteer writer coaches have been helping students strengthen their writing and thinking skills by giving them constructive feedback and building their confidence as writers. The time commitment is only 1-2 hours, usually twice per month. This year we're coaching all 9th and 10th graders in Community Partnerships Academy and 12th graders in Green Academy!</span></font><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> </span></font><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Coaching is during class on the following days and times (but not every week):</span></font><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> </span></font><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Thursdays: 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th period</span></font><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Fridays: 1st and 2nd period</span></font><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> </span></font><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Arial><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>You do not have to be a writer to be a writer coach – WCC provides hands-on training to give you all you'll need to be a terrific coach.
