EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The BGS curriculum expands vocabulary, increases self-esteem, self-awareness, and writing effectiveness. Workshops and lectures provide a distinctive experience enhancing creative writing skills and reading comprehension, and teaches conflict resolution techniques. Participants are engaged in thought-provoking discussions that encourage them to express themselves through the power of word, rather than violence or other destructive means. The workshops are tailored to meet the specific needs of the audience.
Students who exemplify excellent writing skills will participate in "Write Out Loud!" a teen poetry slam competition held annually.ANNUAL DISTRICT GOAL(S) AND CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTOR(S)
