Your first Toastmasters meeting - Part 3
Part 3 in our orientation to a Toastmasters meeting is the evaluation of speeches.
Members are assigned to observe and offer feedback on the impromptu (Table Topics) and prepared speeches. Evaluation helps everyone develop their skills - the speakers, evaluators, other members and guests.
The "traditional" model for evaluating a Toastmasters speech is "CRC" - offer a "Commendation" (positive comment), a "Recommendation" (suggestion for improvement), then another commendation. Our new Pathways Learning Experience offers a revised model - mention something the speaker excelled at, something they may want to work on and offer them a challenge for future projects.
We can be learners and teachers - it's at the heart of the Toastmasters experience.
