2nd Annual Never Again Speech & Debate Tournament: Implicit Bias Judge Training
Welcome to our implicit bias judge training! This quick training is designed to help you identify potential blind spots you might have around the issues of race, class, or gender. The goal of this training is to help judges improve as adjudicators of debate and competitive speaking, as well as provide a positive and equitable experience for all students.
In the sections to follow you will be asked to evaluate a series of comments judges have placed on student ballots before. After reviewing those comments, the next page will explain which comments were productive and which comments you should avoid making as a judge.
This full training is intended to take less than 15 minutes. Thank you for fully and authentically engaging in our anti-bias judge training to provide a more inclusive competition space for students, judges, and coaches participating in our tournament today.
