How to Evaluator the RDG Way
2. Before, During, and After the Meeting
2.1. Before the Meeting
Contact the speaker you are scheduled to evaluate ahead of time. You will want to discuss speech objectives and any special points the speaker may want you to watch for. Remind the speaker to bring their manual or evaluation forms so that you may write your comments and they can get credit for their work.
If the speaker is working in the Pathways system, they should be able to send you their evaluation materials ahead of time for you to get familiar with it.
If the Toastmaster has set a theme, you can think about how to use it to theme your evaluation ahead of time.
If you plan to use one or more of the worksheets found in the resources section, be sure to print those out.
