We are taking a slightly different approach to training judges this year for GYD. The archived material below shares the training session recordings and resources used in the past. We are using much the same material but this time we want all judges to work through this themselves and judge the first Practice Debate prior to an online meeting. We will schedule a live Judges Webinar in November 2014 to go over issues and challenges that arise from the Practice Debate judging. Getting started! Prior to judging the first Practice Debate for Global Youth Debates ALL judges are asked to do the following:
This first practice debate provides an opportunity for both school teams AND judges to get used to the technology and procedures/requirements of online asynchronous debating through Global Youth Debates. Full details will sent via email. |
