style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Looking
for
an opportunity to volunteer at BHS? WriterCoach Connection (WCC
– <a href="http://www.writercoachconnection.org/">www.writercoachconnection.org</a>)
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
10th graders in AHA!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Coaching
is
fun and satisfying — <i> "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," </i>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. <b>Please note that all
coaching sessions take place during class time. <br>
</b></span></p>
<span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Training
sessions
begin in September. For the complete training schedule or more
