Program Building and Recruiting – build your debate team, increase commitment, and draw in more students in the second half of the year using some of Marquis’s experience and some of the recruiting wisdom of great sports coaches like Nick Saban and John Calipari

North Park University, Johnson Center, 5141 N Christiana
Post-Tournament Preparation – how do you debrief following a tournament? How do you follow up on success and deal with adversity? How do you prepare students for what they need to know to be even more successful and engaged the next competition?
Remember that we pay a $100 coach PD incentive to each teacher coach that attains 10 hours of PD with us in each of the fall and spring semesters. Our deadline for the fall semester is January 31st! For community coaches (non-teachers who work outside the school building), we pay this out for 5 hours of PD in each semester.
Here are some schools that have not yet but are very close to earning this PD incentive that could easily earn $100 by attending one of these upcoming seminars! Check where you are on our PD Reporting Notebook.
