How to Set Up a Debating Program?

by Kate Shuster

Class and contest debating presents an incentive structure for students to become active participants in their own learning. Through debating, students examine diverse subjects from a variety of perspectives in a dynamic and rigorous atmosphere. Participants in this session will receive comprehensive, field-tested curricular materials for debate, argument, and public speaking instruction, learn to establish contest and public debating programs in their schools, districts, and regions, and practice and refine assessment procedures for class and contest debating. Teachers of any experience level with any subject expertise will benefit from this workshop, which provides techniques that can be adapted to any subject matter.

Audience: All educators
