The Mock Trial Teacher Coach Manual and other materials provide important information for teacher coaches. It can also be very helpful for new attorney coaches, as they begin working with their mock trial teams. It contains an Introduction, a Program Calendar, sections containing Competition Policies and Procedures and critical information about Scoring and Team Ranking, as well as complete Teaching Materials that include: a four-week lesson plan to introduce teams to the basics of mock trial; and, sections about the players in a mock trial, courtroom procedures, and rules of evidence. The materials will also help you teach your students about how to develop opening statements, direct and cross-examinations and closing arguments.
Additional teacher and team training materials and training videos are on a Teacher Coach Google Drive, please email mocktrial@civicvalues.org to receive access to the materials.
