Review for The Telling Room, Portland, ME, USA
As a lead teacher for various writing workshops I find the support of all of the volunteers in the room to be outstanding. Not only do individuals enter the space as volunteers, but they quickly take on the role of co-teacher with a healthy and respectful sense of give and take that is the foundation of any collaborative teaching. I always know that anyone who has made their way through the volunteer training is up to the task of supporting and encouraging students of all ages to be creative and to proudly say "I am a writer."
