Reflection For Project Management

Reflection for Project Management

The last weekend I had learned a lot of proposal training vocabularies and two activities from that to analyze our monthly project proposal by divided three groups. We had to evaluate each group on our monthly project proposal of SWOT useful this activities and how to difference in the future. During the activity we had choose one of presenters to explain our proposal to another group and then we had to move to another group. When they were observing our project proposal they gave feedback for us, it’s including the proposal analysis five processes or not. After the activity we had know our project proposal writing skills what’s our weakness, and strength. So, we have to adaptation next project proposal writing might be clearly and specific information issue. Because, when we wrote the first project proposal we didn’t know how to use this vocabulary let to know donor and specific information issue what we need. So, I thought that this proposal training vocabularies are very useful for project proposal writing. When we were doing this activity I felt a little confused a bout it.

English Reflection Three

English Reflection Three

When I was living in my Camp I had never heard a bout Wide Horizons Program. At the end of the year I was working in my organization. My brother contact with his friends to get the Wide Horizons form so at that time he got this form and download for me from internet. When I got this WH form at first I didn’t want to take entrance exam because I thought I wasn’t clever enough and wasn’t qualified to attend in here. Before, entrance exam my brother always encouraged me to applied this form and he really wants me to continue to study in here. I thought when I was working in my organization I didn’t do very well my jobs and didn’t effective well for my organization. I also want to continuous my education to get more skills. So, I tried took the entrance exam. A few months later we took the entrance exam and I heard from the coordinator (Salai Tun Lin Aung) sent my email that he told me you have a chance to attend this WH school. I was surprised I successfully passed the exam.
At that time, I was very enjoyed to come here. Firstly, I arrived in here I saw all of my classmates were very smart and they had the conversation with me in English. And I thought I have become a student life again. There fore, I was very enjoyed with my study in here. In the WH school, I’m feeling very well because we were coming from many difference place and many difference ethnic groups. But we’re living together like a brother and sister and respect each other, help each other, and love each other. Especially for me, when teacher taught the English skill such as (Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing Skills) I was very interested in the English class. When I was studying at grade ninth to tenth, I didn’t learn well a bout it because we didn’t had qualified English teachers in our camp. Likewise, I passed only grade tenth and I didn’t had a chance to continuous my studies. That why I’m weak in English skills such as (Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing skills). Fortunately, at present I have got qualified English teacher and Project Management teacher who from USA and they can teach us many different method to make us easy to understand the lessons. Therefore, we don’t need to learn by hard a bout the lessons as we did in Burma student life.
It can be concluded that every activities and community project management at WH with we already finished earlier weekend make me very happy. However, sometime when I didn’t know the vocabularies that I couldn’t guess, I was so confused and feel sad but I decided that I’m going to try to use the skills that I learn from the teacher Brooke.

Project Management

Reflection Question Project Management

Before, I came here I worked for a long time in my community. There fore, I worked in KnED (Karenni Education Department) program as a staff of “Teacher” for three years and School Master for two years. When I was doing the School Master for two years every year I had received many students around four hundred students and also teachers around twenty-eight teachers. So, I tried management of my students and staffs to do well their jobs. But sometime I met the obstacle of student problem and also teacher problem. At the time I though by my selves it’s my weakness how to managed. However, I tried to solve the problem the best way and fairly for their. Because, in our Camp I didn’t have learned well a bout “Project Management Skills” to improve my self. And then, I didn’t have a good chance to learn more a bout it. Just only based a few time like workshop training. So, I though by my self I need to learn more a bout “Project Management Skills” and also “English Skills”. At the time I tried to take WH entrance exam. Fortunately, I successfully passed this exam and I got a chance to come and study here. There fore, I can say that I have reached my wish. Now, we was started our lesson around over two months. During around over two months I had learned a lot of “Project Management Skill” from the teacher Blake. When teacher though the project management lesson teacher had to used a lot teaching method because of the project management lesson is very difficult for us. And teacher wants the students need to know easily and understand clearly to memorize. And then, when teacher was teaching the lesson mostly teacher used to make activity connective with the lesson and during it activity teacher give a chance think freely to get information and discussion with our group to present in front of the class. When we presentation in front the class we got a lot experience from that. And then, teacher tough many difference topics around over two months. All the topics are very effective for me and very important for me to using in the future. But sometime when I was learning the lesson I met obstacle because some vocabulary are very new for me to understudy the definition. However, I know by my self much be try to get this skills. This skills are very helpful for us, and I hope that when we come back to help our community we might be use this skills. This skills are very useful for us.

Reflection Myo Thaw questions

Before I came to Wide Horizons School and right now difference

When before, I came to the “Wide Horizons” school. I worked for a long time in my community and I had got a lot of experiences from that. But in our community we didn’t used to speak English language and didn’t used to write. So, I didn’t have English skills to improve my education because also me I didn’t used to speak English language and didn’t used to write. So, I’m very poor to Speaking skill, Writing skill, Reading skill, and listening skill. And then I much try to learning more a bout it to improve for my English skills. In our camp we mostly used to speak Karenni and Burmese language and also used to write. So, I though by my self I need to improve my English skill, Project Management skill, and Computer skill. So, when I heard the Wide Horizons application form I tried to applied this program. Before, I test examinations for that I had a little preparing for exam. Finally, my outcome result is successful there fore I had got a chance to studying this program. Right now I though that I had many difference things. Because, teacher tough a lot of English skill how to write, read, listen, and speak. I had learned a lot of difference skill from the teacher and difference opinion from my classmates. Also, project management skill teacher Blake tough a lot of skills. I had a good chance to learn this school and those skills are very useful and very interested for me. I didn’t learned like this before, this is a good teacher and he always give a chance to thinks freely and to participate with our classmate. I hope that I finish this graduate I have to come back to help my community and I could be management by myself and moreover would management my community in the future.

3rd Project Management Reflection

Project Management Reflection

The last week teacher tough for us two part of the facilitator and another one is refugee peoples group. When we practicing activities about the facilitator and refugee group. There are more effective for me, because the activity is very useful for me and very interested for me interviewed each other. The first time when I was doing the refugee group I didn’t discuss well to asked and to given real information from them. The second time I had a chance to change the facilitator group so at the time when I discussion with refugee people they didn’t have organize/cooperate with us. Some are discussion with us to ask the questions and some are not interest. However, I tried to explain a bout the education fro them because they didn’t know a bout the education. I interviewed them ask questions to get real information and situation what they needs and what is problems. Sometime they asked dangerous questions for me some questions are I can’t answer for their but I tried to explain and patient for their. When I was interviewed the refugee peoples focus a bout the education. So, I had a good chance facilitator because I had learned from the activities many difference things and this activity is effective for me to get knowledge/ experience from that and also to be using in the future. When I went to observation the refugee peoples, I had got a lot of real information from that. The first things they didn’t have enough food to feed their children and they can’t send the children to get education. The two things are very important for their. They education level is very low and didn’t have enough school to get education. So, they need more school building for study. When I was doing the activities the time is not enough to discussion and interviewed them ask the questions. The lesson is very interested and very useful for me. I think that if we have real interview to the refugee peoples and migrant peoples to get information. We will meet obstacle from that. This is the first time for me facilitator to observation so, I didn’t understand clearly about it.

Second project management “Reflection” lesson this weekend

This week I had learned about the topics of (Questionnaires, Difference between Photos friend Interview and Project Management Interview. I think that, when I had learned about this topics. All of topics are very useful. There before, I started my project I have to create interesting questionnaires to asking questions and to get true information what I needs. The first time when I was learning this topic it’s a little confused for me. During the class teacher’s given a chance to do activities with “photos friend interview and project management interview. In this result, I had use practicing with questionnaires. So, I was very interested to do this activity and become clearer than before. But, I didn’t usually used to interviewer, just only interviewee to given information what they needs. When we were doing activities to interview each other with my partner, there fore I had got experience from my classmates. But at for me, I little confused the difference between photos friend interview and project management interview. However, I think that when I come back to help my organizations I could be use better than before I worked.

Our "Project Managemet Class"



Our project management teacher, when teacher was teaching a bout project management in class. I was very interested a bout this. Because, it very important, and very useful for me to help my organization to developing. If I have got this skill, I hope that I may be better than before was working. The last week when teacher taught the first “new vocabularies” lesson I didn’t understand very well. But teacher make role play activity to connective with this vocabularies so, it’s more clear for me. Before, the vocabulary quiz I little confused about it. When I finished the vocabulary quiz I understand more a bout the vocabularies definitions and synonyms works. So, the vocabulary is very useful for the project management.
The second lesson is “Needs Assessment”. Mostly, teacher explains a bout the needs assessment. I though that needs assessment is one kind of second project cycle to using our project. Because, we need to evaluation an environment in order what materials do I need/desire and collection information before we started. Sometime I didn’t understand well a bout these “needs assessment, evaluation, and reflection”. And I misunderstood a bout it. However, I have learned a lot of experience from the activities. So, how do I need to adept the next project? How do I need to assessment the project? When I was learning a bout the Gap Analysis, actual conditions and optimal conditions lessons. Before, we started the project we need to use this actual conditions and optimal conditions. But when I’m using it a little confused for me. So, I want to understand more about the lesson.

A bout my experience.




"My Biography"

I'm Baw Reh Htoo also know as Plue Reh. I am now twenty-five years old. When I was young, I was very stupid in school nearly every time, everywhere and everything to my teachers or friends. At the moment, my behaviors are not like from that long period ago anymore. They are mostly had changed and I indeed have to change them to become a good person in the future.
Firstly, I had just finished my lesson from grade ten in high school on April 1st 2003. When I was a student my objective is to be a "Teacher" so as after I was finished my lesson there, I worked in KnED (Karenni Education Department) program staff as a "teacher". When I was a teacher, my jobs are the same my lovely teachers. Therefore, I realized that if we are teachers we need to have (three criteria's). Like a Benevolence, Commitment, and diversion. At that time, I was teaching in middle school number three and served there for one year. Then, I had continued to studying in KnTC ( Karenni Teacher Collage ) school for two years. I finished my lesson from school again and came back to teach in "high school". The last two years my position is as a normal "Teacher". Right now my position is a "Head Teacher Performance in "Co-High school number four". In "Co-High School number four", I have been working there for two years. In coming year, I may have to work higher level of "Primary Coordinator Program", but not sure about it. As the reson, it's not successful to become a higher level. However, if I'm work I can take responsibilities for that. At the same time, I thought that when I was working in my organization I had got successful to reach my goal. But I thought by myself I didn't have enough qualified to do well my jobs. So, I heard a bout "Wide Horizons Program" in Mae Sot. At the time I tried to apply this program. Therefore, I passed the exam. Now I have a chance to attend at the "Wide Horizon" program. So, I'm now studying in this year and I'm very enjoying with all of my lessons. Finally, If finish graduate in this school and If I have got a lot skills from that. I might be come back to help in my community what they need and what they want? So, I hope that I might be better than before in working. So, in this situation I didn't apply to "Third Country" such US or other countries. Because I have to continue to help my community. Also for our generation of education in the future.



Good Luck!
May God Bless You all!
