Teachers' Institute 2011

We have designed the TCDG Teachers' Institute to engage teachers of all levels of debate and coaching experience, aiding them in improving their own skills at argumentation, in debate theory, in curriculum design, and in critiquing CX and LD debate rounds. Our goal at TCDG is to devote the entire time that you spend with us to meeting your individual needs as a teacher and as a coach.
