"In radio you have two tools, sound and silence."

~ Ira Glass

WBCR, ‘We are Bellcate Radio,’ provides hands on educational training in the areas of: communication, broadcasting, recording, music production/selection, and announcing with ties to the Bellcate School community and an audience that is truly worldwide.

Students are trained in the following areas:

art of music selection for on-air play
recording technologies that are utilized during any broadcast shift
how to announce and read from a script using a ‘radio voice’
how to research and develop news, sports, music, and stories for on-air broadcast

Bellcate School utilizes a three-stage personal development model that draws on a number of effective theories and strategies. This is not a fixed system, but rather a way of understanding change within a context. Bellcate School understands growth and change to be a slow and challenging process for anyone.

The primary focus of the exploration stage is to build a strong therapeutic relationship as a foundation to facilitate and support growth and change. We use nonjudgmental acceptance and communicate empathy, respect, and genuine care so students can come to accept themselves and unblock their own natural potential.

Students are often ready to move into the Understanding Stage when they have developed strong, trusting, and safe therapeutic relationships with staff. The goal of this stage is to support students in constructing new insight and understanding. Staff assist students in determining their own role in their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Thoughts and behaviors are learned according to learning principles and thus can be changed using the same learning principles. In the Action Stage, staff assist students in making decisions that benefit themselves. Staff refer to the stages of change model as a resource to further understand where the student is in the change process.
