This workshop is designed to equip educators with a comprehensive toolkit for integrating debate into the classroom, fostering a continuum of critical thinking and communication skills from primary years through to the Diploma Program (DP) level.
Learn how to teach students the art of structuring arguments, supporting points with evidence, and mastering the skills of listening, rebutting, and comparing. Our session aims to gamify these fundamental skills, making debate not only a competitive but also an engaging activity for students less inclined towards traditional academic pursuits like writing.
In light of evolving educational demands and the advent of AI, our program also addresses the shift towards oral assessments, offering a structured, clear method for evaluating student performance. Whether you aim to initiate a debate program or enhance an existing one, this session will provide valuable insights into creating a pipeline that nurtures students' abilities to think critically, argue effectively, and engage constructively from an early age.
