| 520 | |a To formulate, justify, and establish priorities for high school debate goals, one must consider only those things that debate can uniquely offer to participating students. The most important goal that debate offers is the development of critical thinking. Educators must continue to develop critical thinkers who can anticipate, discover, and prevent abuses from harming individuals and society. A second goal is fostering academic advancement and improvement. The skills students acquire in debate are easily applied to other academic disciplines. Students also learn the value of extensive and intense study of an issue, gaining increased exposure to many different ideas and resources and expanding their intellectual horizons. The third goal is development of communication skills, making students adaptable to many styles and allowing the development of complex argumentation. Three secondary goals, although not as educational in nature as the first three, contain immeasurable social worth and allow forensic educators to promote their activity to interested students. The first is elevated challenges, while the second is exceptional experiences, such as chances to become acquainted with opponents and to travel. The final goal is the training that debate offers for future occupations. To meet all of the above goals, debate educators must recognize and encourage diversity in their programs, while coaches need to place the educational aspects of debate above the competitive aspects, thus protecting the integrity and goals established for debate.
