What went well?
The progress I made; what was achieved and done
This week we began our unit on minimum wage and the wage gap. I think this week was successful in making the lessons engaging for students. Some of the lessons were particularly interactive including calculating Denver's living wage and comparing it to the minimum wage. This made students more invested in the topics they were learning and thus better able to connect class discussions to current debates.

What could have been done differently?
Things that did not get done and/or could be changed
I think this week was fairly successful and not much needs to be changed. Next week, the last week of the program, I will make sure to keep up the momentum from this week when developing lessons for the class.

What did I learn about myself when working with others?
Contributions, behaviours and values I exhibited
As this week included our largest field trip yet, I learned more about how to plan for the event as part of a team. This included coordination with other planning committees as well the rest of the teaching fellow cohort. This taught me more about my organizational skills and the attention to detail that is required to plan a field trip.

What did I learn about leadership?
Leadership attributes and insights I developed 
I learned about leadership this week by understanding how other teaching fellows run their classrooms. Each of us employ different methods to engage and discipline the students, which presents an opportunity for us to learn from one another.

What do I want to develop or focus on next?
What I still need to develop
I would like to finish the upcoming week strong by ending with our final debate. This is always a great way for students to apply what they have learned in the passed week.
