Middle School Public Debate Program

The Middle School Public Debate Program (MSPDP) is an extracurricular program for working on a middle school student's public speaking and debating skills.[1] It was founded in 2002 by Claremont McKenna College.[2] MSPDP has their own format of debate, based on parliamentary style. Unlike traditional parliamentary debate, there are 6 speeches instead of 8.[3] Currently, there are around 400,000 students enrolled.[4]

The format consists of 6 speeches, alternating between the proposition and opposition sides. Typically, speeches are 5 minutes long. Each team, in the month leading up to the tournament, creates contentions, or main points.[5]
