Collegiate School on the Upper West Side of Manhattan Seeks Debate Coach
The position of Director of Debate at Collegiate is a part-time position whose hours will vary during the year according to the tournament schedule. During some parts of the year when a tournament occurs every weekend, the work hours may include weekends from Friday afternoon through Saturday night. During the spring, especially, the work hours are more likely to be lighter, and the focus shifts from preparing debaters for tournaments to organizing demonstration debates for Middle and Upper Schoolers as part of an educational process introducing potential future debaters to this activity.

The Bronx High School of Science Seeks Policy Debate Director, Assistant Coaches
The successful applicant would also accompany the policy debate squad to several national, regional, and local tournaments throughout the course of the year. This year, on the national level, Bronx Science policy debaters won the National Debate Coaches Association Coaches Association, the Harvard University Round Robin, the Blake School's John Edie Holiday Tournament, and the Georgetown Day School Invitational. Bronx Science also debated the final round of the Harvard National Invitational and the semifinal round of the Greenhill Fall Classic. Four separate teams received bids to the TOC. More locally, Bronx Science debaters -- younger and olders -- won titles at Byram Hills High School, Ridge High School, Yale University, and the state tournament. Our novices had a phenomenal season and are ready to join our rising and juniors and sophomores by becoming leading debaters on the squad.
The Bronx High School of Science is a specialized public high school in New York City. As such, debate receives no direct funding from the school system. Fortunately, our program has an incredibly supportive alumni base and a robust annual fundraising drive. The program also enjoys exceptionally strong support from the school's administration, parents, and general student body.
The Director of Policy Debate will work in tandem with the Director of Forensics, Jon Cruz, at a program with a rich history of excellence in debate. The director of policy debate will be responsible for administrative matters within the squad (assignments, for example) but not for administrative matters regarding the logistics of attending tournaments.
More recent graduates may apply; Bronx Science has a strong recent history of encouraging and training younger coaches. The Director of Forensics works closely with all squads -- and squad directors -- of the program.
As an institution in a public school system that currently is undergoing a hiring freeze for new faculty, a teaching job is unfortunately unavailable. Our program has a long history of excellent, dedicated "part-time" directors leading our individual squads to success.
Salary and time expectations are negotiable. Interested applicants should send a resume and/or questions to Jon Cruz (joncruz1138@gmail.com or cruz1@bxscience.edu) immediately.
The program is also seeking assistant coaches. Again, recent graduates may apply, and pay and time expectations are negotiable.
