1942 – Basic Training manual was introduced

Develop (September 2013 – January 2015)
Implement (February 2015 – July 2015)
Evaluate (July and forward)
There is much more work to be done—the next few slides will define the program plan.
This slide describes the ADDIE model, which is an acronym for : Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate. This is the model we are following throughout the revitalization process. The ADDIE model is one of the most important ones that is used by instructional designers and trainers.
By using the five-process steps of ADDIE, we are able to determine the most effective and efficient way to develop a top-quality education program.
The Analyze and Design phases of this process are completed, and the program is now in the Development phase.

Educational Roadmap
Guiding Principles
Experiential Learning
Self-paced Program
Peer Feedback
Mentoring
As we were building the foundation of the program, we considered our guiding principles to ensure that we weren’t altering what works in the club environment. This also ensures that our culture is preserved.
These remain the four guiding principles of the Toastmasters education program:
Experiential Learning
Self-paced Program
Peer Feedback
Mentoring

Leading Strategically
The tailored learning paths are the result of the emphasis on the five core competencies and four guiding principles of the education program. Learning paths will help members customize their learning to meet their personal and professional goals.
This is an example of a learning path that incorporates “Leading Strategically” and “Public Speaking.”
