Debate Social Emotional Survey

Coaches please have your debaters take the time to complete this survey about their experiences in debate. 

Please take some time to look over these questions and answer to the best of your ability. This survey should take about 20-30 minutes. The information from this survey will be used to help create materials that coaches can use to make their teams more welcoming and positive spaces. This survey is anonymous and will not be used to evaluate any schools, coaches, or programs. Please do not take this survey more than once. This survey is for DEBATERS not coaches or judges. This survey is optional but highly encouraged. Thank you debaters!
