Broward School District Judge Training Online Module

​We're excited to introduce Manatee JET, a new way to prepare our community members to serve as judges during tournaments in Broward County.These guided modules will take less than 30 minutes to complete. Please click on button above to get started.
Judges are some of the most vital contributors to the speech and debate community. Without judges, tournaments would not be possible. If you are new to speech and debate and have an interest in judging, this page will walk you through what you need to know in order to be successful.
​If you are not new but are interested in learning about a new event, or are refreshing your understanding, feel free to jump around and look for the content that applies directly to you.
If you’re looking for any of our downloadable resources, simply click the buttons below to access any of our judge training materials. The National Speech & Debate Association has introductory primers for judging all events, sample ballots, and lists of all the scripts used for Interpretation events at the National Tournament available for your convenience!
