What are your primary learning goals for teaching and/or coaching speech and debate?

These sessions are designed to be engaging and collaborative. Please be sure to double-check calendars, and confirm you can be available for the entire session. If selected, you will be expected to reschedule any other commitments accordingly. A refundable deposit of $100 is required to hold your place if accepted. Those who no-show, relinquish their spot with less than 5 business days notice, leave early, demonstrate unprofessional behavior, or miss learning components may forfeit this deposit and may be held liable for the per attendee cost of the experience ($1,500). While we encourage educators to bring their spouses / family to enjoy the accommodations, the meeting time, space, and resources are for registered educators only. To help us welcome and support new speech and debate coaches, this opportunity is reserved for first-time participants; those who have previously attended the Summer Coach Learning Retreat, DebatEd101, or DebatEd201 are not eligible to register.
