Script Marking and Editing Services
We know many schools take part in debating competitions. Alongside offering debate training and coaching, we offer offsite script marking and editing services - helping students refine arguments, rebuttals and speeches to prepare for a contest.
Our scripts build on arguments students brainstormed in class. As students increasingly rely on AI tools, our coaches ensure students develop critical thinking skills during debate training instead of relying on ChatGPT to generate arguments for them.
In addition to script marking and editing, we also train students in rebuttals through in-class mock debates, building their confidence and ability to think on their feet during a contest.
Moreover, we offer adjudication services for inter-school debating competitions and friendly debate matches as well as debate teacher training.
