[GFCA] Job opening-Alpharetta Debate

[Smiley, Adam]

Policy <http://www.debatecoaches.org/page/director-of-debate>  Debate
coach


Alpharetta High School


Information about the debate team:

We currently have over 20 returning debaters that travel a mixture of
local, regional and national tournaments.  We also have 20+ novices join
the team each year and a thriving middle school program.

 

The new coach would be joining our current coach, Adam Smiley, on the
coaching staff.  The division of labor for travel, administrative
duties, and coaching duties are all negotiable.  However, the new coach
would be expected to attend a minimum of 8 tournaments per year and stay
at least one day a week after school for practice.

 

Teaching Requirements:

Alpharetta offers two debate classes, one for Varsity and one for
novice.  In the future, the new coach would have the option of teaching
one or both of these classes.  Teachers are expected to teach a total of
5 classes each day.

 

A little bit about Alpharetta High School:

Size - Alpharetta is a school of approximately 2200 students.

 

Location - Alpharetta is located in Alpharetta, GA - a northern suburb
of Atlanta.  The school is within 3 miles of Chattahoochee High School,
6 miles from Johns Creek, and 6 miles from Milton.  However, a majority
of the faculty lives in Atlanta, and the school itself is a short and
manageable drive from some of the finer parts of Atlanta.   

 

Job Requirements -

A love of debate - we have a ton of kids and they all want to go to
tournaments.  Every aspect of Policy Debate can be done with this job -
community work, novice teaching, varsity strategizing, researching, etc.

 

A love of teaching- applicants should want to put as much passion and
effort into their non-debate responsibilities as they would into their
debate responsibilities, and help maintain the reputation of the team
within our school community.

 

A Bachelor's degree or higher.  Additional degrees guarantee pay scale
increases.

 

Teaching certification is highly preferred - but not necessarily
required if one is willing to take a few tests to become provisionally
certified in the state of Georgia.
