ABOUT SCOTT
&
The Writing Circle
A public school educator for more than 30 years, Scott values the opportunities to bring others to voice through “Writing Circles,” a fast, reflective writing practice which he facilitates in classrooms, detention centers, recovery programs, homeless shelters, support groups, prisons, probation programs, and transitional houses in Lancaster, Philadelphia, York, Harrisburg, NJ and NY. The “Writing Circle” can be a healing activity, giving voice to the writers’ experiences and helping to transform personal pain into public and communal expressions of perseverance and strength. Participants are given the opportunity to write and share pieces of their life stories in order to see with greater awareness where they have been, where they are, where they hope to be, and who they hope to become.
