A way to enrich learning in the classroom across all subjects - The ability to speak in public and debate are fantastic skills which can enrich learning in almost every subject throughout the school. Once a class has been introduced to speech and debate, teachers in all subjects can develop their students’ speaking and listening skills while also providing an active and challenging way to explore their own particular subject. - Speech and debate help develop critical thinking skills. They require students to have logical arguments and often to re-think their ideas. This must be done quickly and usually whilst working in a team. - Our models of speech and debate encourage students to take responsibility for their own learning through teamwork, extended preparation and adjudication. 2. A way to develop exciting extra-curricular opportunities for students - Lunchtime or after-school debating or public speaking clubs provide students with an opportunity to continue to learn about important issues in their free time. - When extra-curricular clubs are organised by the students themselves (see page 139 onwards) the committee members develop vital skills that will be invaluable in later life and work. 3. Promotes interaction between schools - Friendly debates and public speaking competitions between schools are an ideal way to build connections with other schools in your area. - A number of countries also organise national and international competitions which your team may be able to compete at. A successful team can provide an excellent way for the school to show pride in intellectual activity, just as its sports teams show pride in physical activities. 4. As a way to fulfil curriculum requirements Speech and debate are requirements of many subjects and the skills which they can impart to your students have a great ability to improve student performance. Below are several specific examples of curriculum demands for speech and debate or the skills which are developed by these activities. The list is not exhaustive but hopefully representative of an increasing and crucial demand for speech and debate. The International A-Level and International GCSE The International GCSE qualification in English Language requires students to: - ‘Understand and respond appropriately to what they hear’ (Course Aim); - ‘Understand order and present facts, ideas and opinions’ (AO3.S1); - ‘Use language and register appropriate to audience and context’ (AO3.S5) - ‘Communicate clearly the knowledge and insight appropriate for literary study’ (Assessment Objective) The International A-Level in English Language requires more advanced skills of the same kind. Students are required to: - ‘Develop the interdependent skills of reading, analysis and communication’ (Course Aim) - ‘Communicate clearly the knowledge and insight appropriate for literary study’ (Assessment Objective) 5 [email protected] DraftIDYVPilotDocument Spring2011 Furthermore, these skills are not just a requirement in English. A range of other subjects require pupils to develop speaking and debate skills as part of the syllabus. Students are required to: - ‘Recall, select, organise and deploy knowledge’ and ‘understand, interpret evaluate and use a range of sources as evidence...’ (AO1 & AO2, History IGCSE) - ‘Present a clear, concise, logical and relevant argument’ (AO4, History International A-Level) - ‘Analyse the viewpoints

  • Marking 200 Years of Legal Education: Traditions of Change, Reasoned Debate, and Finding Differences and Commonalities
    MARKING 200 YEARS OF LEGAL EDUCATION: TRADITIONS OF CHANGE, REASONED DEBATE, AND FINDING DIFFERENCES AND COMMONALITIES Martha Minow∗ What is the significance of legal education? “Plato tells us that, of all kinds of knowledge, the knowledge of good laws may do most for the learner. A deep study of the science of law, he adds, may do more than all other writing to give soundness to our judgment and stability to the state.”1 So explained Dean Roscoe Pound of Harvard Law School in 1923,2 and his words resonate nearly a century later. But missing are three other possibilities regarding the value of legal education: To assess, critique, and improve laws and legal institutions; To train those who pursue careers based on legal training, which may mean work as lawyers and judges; leaders of businesses, civic institutions, and political bodies; legal academics; or entre- preneurs, writers, and social critics; and To advance the practice in and study of reasoned arguments used to express and resolve disputes, to identify commonalities and dif- ferences, to build institutions of governance within and between communities, and to model alternatives to violence in the inevi- table differences that people, groups, and nations see and feel with one another. The bicentennial of Harvard Law School prompts this brief explo- ration of the past, present, and future of legal education and scholarship, with what I hope readers will not begrudge is a special focus on one particular law school in Cambridge, Massachusetts. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ∗ Carter Professor of General Jurisprudence; until July 1, 2017, Morgan and Helen Chu Dean and Professor, Harvard Law School.

  • Scrutinised Long Manifestos - Tt20 (2Nd Election)
    SCRUTINISED LONG MANIFESTOS - TT20 (2ND ELECTION) CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT-ELECT Amy Gregg (Ex-Treasurer, Exeter College ) - Candidate for President-Elect - Long Manifesto The Union has had significant setbacks in the last few years. I did not intend to run this term, but it is clear that the Union needs a President who has the experience and the capability to set it back on the right course. The Union can do so much better, and the Union must do so much better. As an undergraduate, I was President of the Cambridge Union. During this time I ran a record-setting membership drive, managed a £100,000 budget, and hosted over thirty speakers including Stephen Fry, Quentin Blake and Moazzam Begg. After leaving Cambridge I was a trainee solicitor at a Magic Circle Law firm, and I now hold an offer for a pupillage to be a barrister. I have real world experience which I can use to improve our Union as well. I previously served on committee for 7 terms. In this time I arranged 5 debates, including confirming 5/6 speakers for the Comedy debate. I ran Debates, Panels and Speaker events, confirmed multiple speakers and chaired the Union’s largest committee. I also spent over 50 days of vacation working for the Union and made 3 winning paper speeches. As Treasurer I secured 29 debate Floor Prizes, 12 New Treasurer’s Treats and coordinated sponsorship from a major Scholarship fund - ensuring transparency by publishing the audited accounts on the app. This demonstrates that I have the ability to run the Union, but it also made me realise: the Union needs real change - change only an experienced President can bring.
