Educator profile
Bill Thompson
Lincoln-Douglass, Public Forum, Extemporaneous
I have an extensive history of building curriculum to teach speech and debate in both intensive speech and debate camp and classroom settings. Central to my curriculum is a focus on helping learners find their voices and helping them develop skills that allow them to hear and appreciate others’ voices. My classes are designed to meet learners where they are and develop their research, refutation, speech writing, speaking and overall rhetorical skills.
