Going into this summer experience I had three learning goals for working as a teaching fellow. The first was to improve my leadership skills through further developing my public speaking and listening skills as well as becoming more adaptable and flexible. The second was to develop my communication skills by improving my ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and effectively. The third goal was to further my professional skills by leading my own classroom and being mentored by those already working in schools. To this end, I received a lot of useful feedback and learned much more about what a career path in education could look like. Working at Breakthrough allowed me to develop in all three areas listed above, and the experience exceeded my expectations as so many of the lessons I learned are applicable to my life and future opportunities.
