Interscholastic Debate: Balancing Perspectives and Boosting Achievement
Friday, January 19, 2024: 9:15 AM - 10:15 AM
Speaker(s)
Description
Wisconsin has a rich history in interscholastic debate, yet has dwindled to only a few dozen middle and high schools. States such as Florida have invested resources in bringing debate to more schools. Internationally, countries such as China added debate to inspire creative thinking and enhance STEM education, while American universities place an admissions premium on students who engage in this high-level thinking activity. This session will feature nationally recognized Wisconsin coaches and students who will describe their own experiences, as well as how more Wisconsin schools can add this activity that has become far more accessible.
