Professional Development training for CGI and LME teachers

The Chokyi Gyatso Institute (CGI) and Lhomon Education in collaboration organized three days of Transformative Pedagogy and Communication skills training to enhance the needs of modern professional development for Khenchen, lamas, lopons, and teachers of the Institute. Madam Yuden, (Deputy Chief Research Officer, Research Division) and Dr Sonam Chuki, (Curriculum Developer from the Curriculum Development Centre) of Royal Education Council (REC) offered the training from 6^th to 8^th of October 2019.

The training is an outcome of the curriculum review meeting (for LME) held at CGI from 8^th to 15^th May 2019. As discussed during the review meeting, the professional development (PD) training was to facilitate the modern teaching pedagogy and skills that will help our lopons and teachers equip with the 21^st century’s need in line with Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche’s aspiration and instruction. Thus, PD support was proposed by CGI and LME to REC. This is yet again a collaboration between Chokyi Gyatso Institute/Lhomon Education/Samdrup Jongkhar initiative and REC.
