Debate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the U.S. the American Parliamentary Debate Association (APDA) is the oldest national parliamentary debating organisation, based on the east coast and including all of the Ivy League, although the more recently founded National Parliamentary Debate Association (NPDA) is now the largest collegiate sponsor. The National Parliamentary Debate League (NPDL) is the umbrella organisation for all debating at the secondary school level in the United States. Its primary purpose is to sponsor and produce debates for the United States presidential and vice presidential candidates and to undertake research and educational activities relating to the debates. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Debate   (2040 words)

The debaters of the team that wins the coin toss are allowed to choose from two options - either decide which side they want to represent (either the "prop" side, for the resolution, or the "opp" side, against the resolution) or whether they want to speak first or second. Unlike Policy Debate it is far more dependant on the speaking presentation of the debator rather than the research skills of the speaker. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Public_Forum_Debate   (1492 words)

NEA: NEA Today May 2004 The National Education Association and the all-Black American Teachers Association finally merge after having passed a much-debated resolution two years earlier. That's the story told by a continuing series of tests given every few years to samples of students across the nation, part of a larger testing program—the National Assessment of Educational Progress, or NAEP—administered by the U.S. Department of Education. Even the landmark Elementary and Secondary Education Act, passed by Congress in 1965 to remedy the vestiges of segregation and aid children in poverty, lost its name—some would say its soul—as it was gutted during congressional reauthorization to fit a new agenda, emerging as the so-called No Child Left Behind law of 2001. www.nea.org /neatoday/0405/cover.html#coverstory   (5527 words)

Il Filosofo Bob Jones is a member of the National Educational Debate Association (NEDA), a small group that split from the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) about ten years ago. The article alludes to a difference between Liberty’s debate program and Bob Jones University& much smaller one—Liberty has debated at least one topic for which BJU decided it couldn’t argue both sides—but it doesn’t mention a fundamental difference. And it seems odd to me that head coach Brett O’Donnell, who has helped the Bush team prepare political debates, would train his debaters in a style far removed from that of public persuasion. www.ilfilosofo.com /blog   (1424 words)

Speed Debate A recent study by the National Association of Urban Debate Leagues found that getting a child involved in debate raises their reading scores by 25-percent, on average. Strategic Involvement – Many students associate debate with the worlds of politics and law, and some who desire to follow these career paths say joining a debate team is a “logical choice.” Others join in an attempt to “beef up” their transcripts before applying to college. The NAUDL says that because students involved in debate regularly engage in writing, information analysis, and in-depth library and Internet research, they often receive higher grades than non-debaters in high school and are more likely to continue on to post-secondary education. www.connectingwithkids.com /tipsheet/2005/236_jul6/speed.html   (796 words)
