Teacher Training for the 21st Century Monastic Classroom


On 6th April, professional development training is hosted for the teachers of Chokyi Gyatso Institute (CGI) and Lhomon Education (LME) to bring the 21st Century Methods into the Classroom. A total of 17 monks and lay teachers attended the training, which was facilitated by Lhomon Education.  

“These new methods will help our teachers teach lessons in productive and interactive ways.” said, Lopon Pema Longdrol, head of the education department, CGI. “I really liked the strategy of ‘Think-Pair-Share’, he added.

The training is organized to explore contemporary skills and competencies such as active learning strategies; collaborative learning; and brain-based learning for greater student engagement as well as to encourage fun and interactive ways of teaching and learning.  

“I would like to ask Lhomon Education teachers to come and observe our classes” proposed Lopon Tshering. “We will be happy to receive your opinion on teaching methods” he added.

Everyone fully participated in the lively activities from the beginning till the end, through their interactive discussion, making fun body movements, and shouting out animal sounds.
