An inter-school competition for school teachers, to explore pedagogical techniques/strategies to teach high school curicullum.
Teachers would be provided a situation - a topic, audience, cultural context, classroom location would be defined and the teachers will have to present their strategy to teach the topic. They shall then take questions from other teams, audience and judges.
Teams get points for both questions and answers. This is inspired by Socratic Dialogue and hopes to evolve a better understanding of high school teaching. Topics would be interdisciplinary and schools would be encouraged to send a team with diverse academic backgrounds.
