AWARDS & ACHIEVEMENT CRITERIA GUIDE 2011 EDITION

INTRODUCTION This Awards & Achievement Criteria Guide contains the names and criteria for all Fraternity awards, recognitions and competitions approved by the General Board for Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. Some of the competitions have a prerequisite requiring advancement from the regional conference level. The guide provides a description of all awards and activities along with their perspective rules and regulations. The applicable measurements for the distribution of awards are provided in the Chapter Operating Standards and Awards, Recognition Policy (COSARP) document. The COSARP document provides operating standards for our chapters and a points system for measuring current standing and a benchmark for improvement planning. The awards and recognitions guide was developed to provide a clear and comprehensive tool which outlines the Fraternity’s process for awarding chapters and members for their commitment to excellence in the execution of the fraternity’s programs and activities. Although the adherence to providing good sound programming within our communities across the country and aboard is tantamount to the organizations ideals and purpose; the General Board deemed it necessary and within good judgment to express a resounding since of gratitude to those chapters and members who are flagships among the membership.

Hon. Jimmy Hammock International President

The guide also contains all of the necessary forms, rules and regulations to enable consistent submission for fair and accurate assessing. The guide provides a criterion that will be consistent throughout the entire Fraternity, at all levels of competition. This guide is another example of the things to come as we build “centers of excellence,” within the overall programming of the organization, with purpose, vision and goals. This dynamic guide will be updated as the General Board and Conclave deems necessary. We hope that you find this document helpful and offer suggestions for improvement to members of the International Standards and Awards Team. Special thanks to Brother John White, Director of Sigma Leadership Academy and Brother Jean Lamothe, Chairman of the International Standards and Awards Committee for leading the Awards & Achievement Criteria Guide project..

Brother Jimmy Hammock International President

Dailey, Professor Emeritus of Speech and Theatre, retired from Coppin State College in 1996 after more than 30 years of service to the College. He joined the Coppin State College faculty in 1962, as an Assistant Professor of English and Speech and as Director of Theater. Around 1968, Coppin State Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; College began its transition into a four-year liberal arts institution; thus, new majors were developed. When the English major was instituted, Dailey developed new courses in literature, speech and drama, including Shakespeare and Advanced English Grammar. He was a Shakespearian scholar. In 1973, he became chairman of the newly established Speech-Theatre Department, and the speech, drama and productions courses, originally offered through the English Department, were moved into his area. Today, students can pursue the Speech-Theatre concentration as a minor and an Urban Theatre Management major.

For several years he chaired the William Dorsey Scholarship Fund, directing scholarships to predominantly black colleges of Maryland. Guilbert A. Dailey served Coppin State College for thirty-three years. Throughout his entire career, he had a reciprocal learning relationship with his students. He believed that every good teacher can and does learn something from his students. He has always placed his students first. Their growth in learning and their ability to think more profoundly and progressively were his chief concern. He set and modeled extremely high standards for his students and never allowed them to compromise for mediocrity. In 1996 he retired and as a tribute, he was requested to deliver the Commencement Address. Two years later, in 1998, Dr. Dailey was bestowed another great honor. He was conferred Professor Emeritus for his outstanding service and contribution to Coppin State College, its faculty, and its students. Dr. Dailey was the first faculty member at Coppin to be bestowed this status. Dr. Guilbert Alfred Dailey died in 1999. He had shared a beautiful marriage with Dr. Thelma Thomas Daley, past National President of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. The greatly complemented each other. Dr. Thelma Dailey, former Coordinator of Guidance and Counseling for Baltimore County Public Schools, is a consummate educator. She has a continued history of community and public service.

GUILBERT A. DAILEY ORATORICAL & DEBATE COMPETITION

Oratorical Competition Instruction for Judges Thank you for agreeing to judge the contest. The contest would not be possible without adults willing to help. Three judges will judge each contestant. Each judge will be provided with the contestant speaking order and a set of ballots, the name of the contestant will be marked on the ballot. Traditionally, the first judge to enter the room is considered the judges’ spokesperson. But any of the three judges may act as the spokesperson. In many cases the timekeeper will act as the spokesperson, signaling when the judges are ready for the next speaker, etc. The spokesperson makes sure all of the judges are in the room and ready to begin the round, and when the next speaker should be called. As each contestant is speaking, the judge may write comments on the ballot, or choose to write the comments after the speech is complete. Each judge has one ballot for each contestant. The purpose of the ballot is to maximize the educational experience for the contestant. Judging and the Ballot Take a minute to familiarize yourself with the ballot and the rules before the contest. A. There are four areas of judging criteria; Introduction, Content, Presentation, and Conclusion. Introduction: Does the introduction make you want to hear more? Does it have a clear thesis? How well is the beginning laid out? Content: Is each point relevant to the topic and substantiated with current documentation? Are the facts and figures used current? Good word usage? Does it have a logical, clear organization? Does it define how Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. can improve the admission and attrition rates of African American males? Presentation: Appropriate eye contact, audibility, rate of delivery, voice inflection, fluency, tone, gestures, pronunciation, general sense of confidence, etc. Conclusion: Does conclusion sum up main points of the speech? *These are the areas of criteria, but you are not limited to commenting on only these areas. The questions above are designed to help you, feel free to expand them. Each has a 1-10 score, 10 being the best, with a perfect score of 40. A total score of 40-35 is considered a very good speech, 35-30 a good speech, 30-25 an average speech and a total score of under 25 is considered poor speech. (Don’t worry about rechecking your addition, it will be done during the tallying.) Sign the bottom of the ballot. Write pertinent comments on the ballot. Comments should be largely encouraging and positive, but not overly so, a student who receives a middle to low score has the right to know why. It is okay to be honest, you can help the contestant to become a better speaker. The students will be given the ballots after the contest. Comments can relate to the areas of scoring or the condition of admission and attrition rates of African American male students. Judges’ comments need not be detailed or lengthy. (Judging Hint: One experienced judge takes a few minutes before the contest to write down a list of words that may be used for comments on the ballot. It lessens the time between speeches and helps prevent the “block” you might have during the contest.) At the end of each speech the timekeeper will provide you with the time of the speech. The collegians are given a 5-10 minute limit, although they are not disqualified unless the speech is under 4 minutes or over 11 minutes. If the speech is within 4-11 minutes, it is at your discretion to use the time issue in your scoring. You may ask yourself; was the extra time a critical part of the speech, or could the contestant cut something? How much over time was the speech, one minute or ten seconds? (It is not your responsibility to disqualify students that are under or over time. If that does happen, complete your ballot and continue with the contest. The timekeeper or spokesperson should inform the contest director after the round is complete. The director will handle any issues regarding disqualification.) The spokesperson or timer should check to see if all of the judges have completed their scoring prior to allowing the next contestant to proceed.
