class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">) 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,
<u>during the school day</u>, beginning in October. This year
we're coaching 9th and
10th graders in AMPS; 9th graders in CAS; and 11th graders in
