Toastmasters Pathways is scheduled to roll out to all the districts in January of 2018 after a pilot in January of 2017. So what is this change in Toastmasters?
Toastmasters Pathways is a new education program that will be implemented worldwide. According to The Possibilities of Pathways, an article in the Toastmasters magazine, it is supposed to keep the basis of the current program, but combined the leadership and communication manuals to create a more comprehensive program.
What is new?
There will be an online component where you can take surveys, do activities, and go through the manuals. After taking an assessment, Toastmasters will select a path they think that is the best fit for your skills and weaknesses, however you are free to choose from any of the paths regardless of your test results. The paths include Motivational Strategies, Presentation Mastery, Leadership Development, Persuasive Influence, Effective Coaching, and more (Possibilities of Pathways). These paths also include several different project topics such as how to motivate others, and using presentation software (Possibilities of Pathways).
There are five levels of this program:
1. Mastering Fundamentals
2. Learning Your Style
3. Increasing Your Knowledge
4. Building Skills
5. Demonstrating Expertise
