Legislative Debate Day
Wayland Union Debate hosted the annual Legislative Debate Day for students, coaches, and teachers from across the community on Wednesday, September 11, 2024. Debate Day cultivates a culture of academic scholarship grounded in speaking and listening by utilizing the legislative debate format. Together, students create pathways for critical thinking, civic life, collaboration, and caring while having a lot of fun along the way. The day included a meet and greet with coaches and debaters and two breakout sessions designed to enhance their knowledge of debate before ending the day with their first West Michigan Legislative Debate League Meet.
Over 50 students, coaches, and teachers attended the afternoon event from the following schools: Caledonia HS, Ionia HS, Watervliet HS, Grand Rapids City and Wayland Union HS.
Debate Day is the product of collaboration with the West Michigan Legislative Debate League and the community of coaches.
