Keep an open mind:
I stay open to every new thing during the training because i believe that learning is a process and i can always learn something new even from the people that are not trainers. When i go into a training session with that attitude, I find that there can be an amazing two-way flow of information between the trainer and trainees. I enjoy it and try learning from it.
Flexible:
In non formal education things can’t progress in according to previous planning and preparation. I always take care about people mood and when i feel and see that people are not paying attention to the topic i give a break or use some energizer that can be proposed from me or participants. Even if necessarily finish the session before the planed time.
To paraphrase Dwight D. Eisenhower, "Planning is essential, plans are useless". That's the last thing I say to myself when I'm standing in front of a group holding an agenda.

Learning is the individual growth of person and new understanding around us as a result of cooperative interaction and sharing the experiences with others. I will start describing what I learnt from interaction in pair and group after detailing how I met my partner and group. I met my partner Nuttanun on Wednesday July 8, 2015 virtually because we both were not able to attend the first class due to rescheduling issue. She approached me by email and we exchanged our phone numbers. We decided to meet in person on Thursday at 6:00 pm to understand and discuss the class we missed. We introduced each other and talked about our profession and personal lives for about an hour and then we discussed the reading material given to us. We discussed it for more than 30 minutes. After discussion we decided to fill out Engaging Across Differences sheet and passed on to each other. On Friday, we met again to answer our discussion board questions and talked about our plans for weekends. My group consist of four members
Evaluation is an assessment of something or making an observation of the outcome whether good or bad. An example of evaluating is after the Year 8 disco, was the year 8 pupil’s filing out an evaluation form on how they thought the event went.

Ethics are a set of moral principles that guide our behavior. As a discipline, ethics deals with what is good and bad as well as questions of moral duty and obligation. In the workplace, ethics are a set of principles of conduct governing an individual or group.

The time frame gives managers enough time to practice when they have learnt. Those who have not applied what they have learnt are called back and given more training. The information can be collected through surveys, or self-evaluations. It can also be collected from direct observation of the training or of the weeks following the training. Information can also be collected during the training by observation. The trainer or a third party can observe the behavior or attitudes of the managers during the training. Managers can also be given a self-evaluation to conduct at the end of the training to identify which areas they needed improvement and what they have learnt during the training. The evaluation can also ask for situations in which the managers can apply what they have learnt and how they can apply it, such as case study, role-playing.

Arguably you could suggest that the most important part of initial assessment is giving feed back to the learner of the results. This as we have said previously allows the learner to set themselves achievable goals. They have possibly already learnt things about themselves that they didn’t know. For example what their preferred style is. The advantage of this feedback session is that both learner and tutor have set clear manageable targets and goals. This is turn can be seen as a motivational tool for the learner as they have been part of the process and know what is expected from them. This also instils the motivation for the teacher to make sure that the learner can achieve their goals
Coming to occupation of kids, it is moral on the premise of central rights and utilitarianism implies working gives utility, in any case it is deceptive on the premise of virtual morals as it is ethically not a good fit for a tyke to win, and ought to rather concentrate on instruction. By and large, families depend on tyke work, so that the family can survive. When they grew up, there is no necessary instruction, so working does not deny school kids from going to class. A short time back, the U.S. was at one time a creating nation. For a long time, we excused the act of utilizing kids in the working environment. Once our way of life enhanced and all inclusive, state funded training turned into a sensible target we passed kid work laws that
An important part of our learning and growing experience must stem from our ability to analyze and reflect upon the groups that we have been members in. This reflection can define our understanding of the weaknesses both in ourselves and in the others within our group; and it can help to shape the way that we act in future groups. Adjusting ourselves to compensate for our weaknesses, based upon an honest and thorough examination of our actions within a group setting, is one of most important thing for any person to do. It is only through this evaluation that we can improve ourselves and our interactions with others. This paper will examine a group that was required to make an important decision about adding a new member

Working in a group can be very difficult at times. Different people with different views may not always agree which one another. Throughout the various task I played the communicator. I made sure everyone was on track on what we wanted to do. I also made sure people was okay and happy in the role they was playing in the group.

Working within a group or team is unavoidable for most people. We are involved in sports teams, assignment groups, work teams, social groups and a variety of other groups and teams. Each of these groups share one thing in common, that is each requires us to communicate in some way in order to reach a shared goal or target. Therefore, it is imperative to know and understand how to work and communicate effectively with others to maximise outcomes and productivity.
When doing so the other group members were active listener, by using their whole body verbally and nonverbal. Like facing the speaker and giving eye contact and try to avoided interruption. The group also acknowledges the thoughts of the speaker by giving constructive feed back. Due to the effectiveness of the group communication, we were able to build trust, respect and understand the issues and make decision for effective change. We illustrate this by coming together as a group one again to accomplish the goal we initially wanted to accomplish. Since the first organization that we had chosen was incorrect, so we had to make the necessary changes to accomplish our goals. The other effective feature is the purpose of the group. Kozier et al (2010) stated that the effective group purpose is when “goal, task, and outcomes are clarified. Understanding and modified so that members of the group can commit themselves to purposes through cooperation” (p.401). For instance, each individual was assign a task and knew what was to be accomplished. As group we all decided to meet at suitable day and time which was beneficial to all team members, because we could commit to the group and focus on what needed to be achieved.
