Mastering Fundamentals Level

Learning Your Style Level

Increasing Knowledge Level

Building Skills Level

Demonstrating Expertise

• Projects: Projects are the building blocks for each path. Each path has a set of 14 projects across all 5 levels (a combination of 10 required projects and 4 elective projects). A project is NOT necessarily a speech. It can be any of the following, usually accompanied by a speech at the end. Projects can be:

1. A speech
2. Two speeches and an evaluation (Evaluation and Feedback project, Level 1)
3. Table Topics Master (Active Listening)
4. Creating a blog
5. Creating a podcast
6. Moderating a panel discussion

*NOTE: For each path you pursue, you are required to serve in the following three roles at least once before your Level 3 is marked complete:

- Evaluator - fulfilled by item #2 above, or when you perform any evaluation.

- Toastmaster - fulfilled when you act as Toastmaster.

- Table Topicsmaster - fulfilled by project #3 above, or just by performing the Table Topicsmaster role.

You may choose to fulfill a role at each level or complete multiple roles within a level. You determine when you serve in these roles. Remember, you fulfill the requirement of evaluator in the “Evaluation and Feedback” project at Level 1. Some paths require you to serve in other meeting roles, such as Topicsmaster in the “Active Listening” project. Serving in a role as part of a project assignment counts toward the requirement described above.

Keep track of your meeting role fulfillments on Base Camp to make it easy for your vice president education to approve that you completed Level 3. Other members can also view your profile to see which roles you completed. You can record only one date per meeting role on your Base Camp profile. Make sure to update all your meeting roles each time you serve. To record the day you fulfilled a role: 1. Hover over the gear icon at the top right of your screen [ ], then select My Account and 2. find the appropriate role - check it - and enter the date and 3. don't forget to hit SAVE near the bottom.

NOTE: this information can be found by going to Base Camp, then click Tutorials and Resources, then in the search window in the top right, type: 'Meeting Role Requirements' and then view the .pdf. (or click here ).

NOTE: You do not have to finish one level before moving to any other level, but it is recommended that you go in sequence because Pathways is designed so you’re always building on what you learned in the previous level. So here's an overview showing all eleven paths:
