Boston Debate League (BDL) is a non-profit organization that prepares young people for college, career, and engagement with the world through debate-inspired learning in the classroom and beyond. BDL creates inclusive learning communities for all, centering the experiences and assets of Black, Latino, and other marginalized young people in Boston.
BDL implements three core programs, each with a proven track record of success. BDL works in partnership with public schools in the Greater Boston area to support academic debate teams in local schools and to train teachers to use debate-inspired practices as part of their classroom practice.
- The After-School Debate program builds debate teams and facilitates monthly tournaments open to middle and high students who have the opportunity to develop their confidence, communication, and critical thinking skills through a competitive activity that engages them in discussions about important real-world issues of policy and equity.
- The Resolved program uses the core elements of policy debate, mentorship, and affinity-based community building to engage and empower Black and Latino young men in middle and high school. Through the program, cohorts of ten to fifteen Black and Latino young men from partner schools meet twice a week to have meaningful conversations, explore their identities, reflect on their future plans, and use the skills of debate to evaluate and form arguments or advocacy about issues in their communities.
- The Debate-Inspired Classrooms program uses an instructional model adopted by schools and teachers across content areas, inspired by the elements that make debate a powerful learning experience. The program trains and supports teachers to facilitate rigorous and student-centered classrooms. Through debate-inspired instructional practices, which BDL views as an approach to anti-racist teaching and learning, teachers guide students through a progression of skills as they learn to build complete and compelling arguments.
Results have consistently shown the positive impact of debate and debate-inspired instruction on students and classrooms. BDL’s long-term vision is that all young people in Boston are ENGAGED in critical discourse, INFORMED by evidence, and EMPOWERED to lead. We strive to create inclusive learning communities where all participants are welcome and supported in achieving the transformative, lifelong benefits of debate. The community the BDL serves encompasses over 35 public schools in and around Boston.
