Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Communication skills and public speaking have been proven to be one of the most important skills necessary for people to obtain a job in the workforce. However, public speaking is a common fear among children and adults. The Lee County Extension Council saw this as a need for Lee County. The Lee County Cooperative Extension Office partnered with both the Lee County Elementary School and the Lee County Middle/High School to help students improve their public speaking ability. Multiple lessons educating students on how to properly present a demonstration were given to grades 4th-8th. With this education, 59 students participated in the county communications day. Out of those who participated at the county level, 10 students went on to Districts and from there, 7 were selected to compete at the State level. Participation has increased from previous years. We were pleased to find that 100% of the participants stated that they benefited from the communications day activities.
