​Get Started in Pathways:
​Short Video Snippets


Generously made by Lorraine Boyden and Linda Oliver, DTM

​Pathways will maintain Toastmasters' four guiding principles: experiential learning, self-paced learning, peer evaluation and mentoring. Each of the program's tailored learning paths will have five levels of achievement, building progressively in complexity. Each path will include 14 projects, including a mix of required and elective projects. The highest level of achievement will remain the DTM.

All educational materials will be translated into eight languages. There will be more projects based on evaluation, and members will receive more guidance on how to be an effective evaluator. A formal mentoring program will also be established.
