Looking to debate in a high school debate institute? Come here for contact information from these prestigious institutes.Dartmouth Debate Institute (TBA) - http://debate.dartmouth.edu/Workshops/ddi.php The Institute's schedule and diverse curriculum cover all aspects of cross-examination policy debate. In order to accomplish as much as possible in the limited time available, we operate on a full and structured schedule. The morning schedule includes lectures on the topic, work on generic negative arguments, discussion of theory and practice, and drill sessions Working on skills. In addition, there are classes on research techniques and other elective courses on a wide range of subjects. The afternoons are devoted primarily to lab sessions in which small groups work with two instructors on research, analysis, affirmative cases, and negative strategies. The schedule also includes practice debates, rebuttal reworks, a complete tournament, and plenty of library time. A low faculty-student ratio is maintained so that each student receives individual attention, and the curriculum is diversified so that each student has an opportunity to work with virtually all of the instructors. Debaters are able to select theory classes from a large number of alternatives, and they also pick elective classes on topic issues, strategy, and skills. Individual speaking drill sessions are available most evenings. The variety of classes offered provides each student an opportunity to work with virtually every member of the staff. Students will receive a paper copy of the evidence produced by their lab during the Institute, and a disk copy of all the evidence produced in the Institute prior to departure. Generic negative arguments are distributed to all of the labs.
