On 22nd May 2017, our 10th and 11th-grade students attended the Costa Rica International College Fair in Curridabat to visit with representatives from a variety of universities from North and Latin America. This was an opportunity to promote themselves and ask questions as they research their postsecondary education options.
A good communicator knows what their message is. As they prepared for the college fair our students were asked to reflect on “Who am I?” and “What do I want to convey about myself?” Students prepared a written personal statement. They also practiced asking and answering questions verbally, remembering that oral communication is clearest and most effective when we maintain eye contact, speak clearly, don’t fidget, show we are listening, and are dressed appropriately.
The college fair was a very successful event. Our students represented Futuro Verde very well and it was exciting to see them plan the next exciting chapter of their lives.
