Would you like to make a difference at BHS? WriterCoach

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, <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 <st1:place

need to be a writer or teacher — WCC coaches are parents,
