Coaches+Institute

=The ENDI Coaches INstitute= The Institute for coaches provides a broad curriculum base for teachers preparing to coach debate, at both the beginning and experienced levels. A specific course of study is designed for each participant, focused on that teacher’s specific situation and needs. By coordinating with the ENDI staff, teachers will study the process of competitive debate, learning the issues and techniques needed to more effectively teach and coach debate. The workshop can be taken as a graduate class through Georgia State University (additional tuition fees would apply), as a continuing education course for six Professional Learning Units toward recertification in Georgia (coordination and certification of the course for other states will be acquired as needed), or simply as a personal learning activity. The flexible curriculum includes focused evidence and argument analysis of the upcoming topic, argument and debate theory, teaching debate skills, judging, program development, team management, and using argumentation and debate in traditional classroom settings.
