"The Rhetoricals" Toastmasters Club of the Appalachian School of Law
In 2012, ASL students created a local chapter of Toastmasters International, a public speaking and leadership educational group. The club -- The Rhetoricals -- meets monthly and posts meeting dates and its program on TWEN.
The International Organization
Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped people of all backgrounds become more confident in front of an audience.
It also publishes a monthly magazine supporting the professional growth of members.
The educational program is the heart of every Toastmasters club. It provides members with a proven curriculum that develops communication and leadership skills one step at a time, with many opportunities for awards and recognition along the way. The communication and leadership tracks are not mutually exclusive; you may participate in both at the same time, if you wish.
You progress along each track by working through a series of manuals, each of which offers a set of carefully crafted projects to complete.
Each project includes an evaluation guide, which gives club members an easy way to provide immediate feedback as the project is completed.
Once you become a member, you can begin the educational program right away.Educational manuals include:
- Competent Communication
- Competent Leadership
- Your Speaking Voice
- Effective Evaluation
- Gestures: Your Body Speaks
