This course is designed to give conference attendees opportunities to learn best practices for teaching speech and debate as an elective course, as well as skills across multiple disciplines. Attendees will better understand how teaching public speaking, argumentation, and interpretation of literature will be an effective mean of engaging students inside the classroom. The course will cover issues ranging from critical examination of gender and race to journalism strategies for speech writing and using the structure of Extemp to help AP students prepare for written examinations.
