NOTE: This tutorial is meant to explain the Pathways program
before you begin it. It gives you an overview of what the
program is about, explains new terms that are used and gives you
graphic representations of the Paths, Levels and Projects. It
does not explain how to log on or what happens once you are
logged on. Hopefully, it will give you a fuller and clearer
picture of
what is meant by Pathways. Comments are welcomed.

PATHWAYS AT A GLANCE |
|
Pathways is designed to promote your
personal and professional development. As the foundation of

Each Pathway has five levels. Level 1 in each Pathway is the
same. Subsequent levels are geared to their specific
Pathway. |

PATHWAYS: An Overview |
|
PATHWAYS
is Toastmasters’ new education program! It will now serve as the
foundation of your Toastmasters experience, and
is designed to help you build the competencies you need to
communicate and lead. |
|
When starting Pathways, you will be
introduced to new terms, such as: Assessment, Navigator, Base
Camp, Core Competencies, Paths, Projects, Levels, and others.
I've added some brief descriptions of these new terms below: |

ASSESSMENT:
Before you start, you take the
Pathways Assessment online
(log in required). There are eleven different learning paths. To find the one that is
right for you, you begin by taking the assessment. It helps you
identify the path that best meets your needs, interests and
goals. After responding to a series of questions, you will be
presented with the path that best fits you and your current
experience. You may be excited, energized or even surprised by
the path recommended to you. The Pathways Assessment helps to
point you in the best possible direction. You'll need to
log in to participate
in the Assessment.

After you receive your assessment results,
you can embark on the Path recommended to you or choose one of
the other nine paths available. No matter which Path you choose,
you will complete at least 14 educational projects and present a
minimum of 15 prepared speeches. You will also serve in various
meeting roles. Each Path is divided into five levels that build
in complexity. The levels help you build on and apply what you
have learned. |
