Take your competitive debaters from solid fundamentals to tournament-ready performance with this 25-lesson SPAR (Spontaneous Argumentation) curriculum built for Competition Level students.
What’s included:
This course pushes every core SPAR skill to tournament depth — single cross-examination questions become full three-step question chains, naming an impact becomes weighing it against an opponent’s impact on five separate metrics, and a constructive speech that simply follows a format becomes one that is persuasively delivered and adapted to the judge in the room. Students build a complete AREL case, prep and deliver under time pressure, interrogate and defend in cross-examination, track and refute an opponent’s case, weigh competing impacts, and run the entire pipeline independently under real tournament conditions. The package includes full Teacher’s Companion Notes (lesson-by-lesson facilitation guidance, common mistakes, and support/stretch scaffolding) and a complete Scope & Sequence document mapping the full 25-lesson progression across six units.
How it works:
Each lesson fills a 45-60 minute class period with an “I do / We do” teacher-modeling structure, retrieval-practice review, and a built-in formative check. Designed for teachers and coaches running competitive debate classes or WSDA/SPAR tournament prep — no prior coaching certification required.
Ideal for:
Debate coaches and competitive debate teachers working with grades 6-12 students who already know SPAR basics and are preparing for tournament-level competition.
