| August 2, 2025 | Leveraging the Four Immeasurables to Enhance Student Learning Experience and Outcome [5 hours]In an educational setting, integrating the four immeasurables - Loving-Kindness, Compassion, Sympathetic Joy, and Equanimity - can lead to improved student engagement, emotional intelligence, and overall learning outcomes. The objectives of this workshop are to understand the four immeasurable qualities, identify ways to incorporate these qualities into teaching practices, and develop actionable strategies to promote an inclusive classroom environment. Learning Outcomes:
| Dr. Kezang Sherab, Dean, AAD | Open to all faculty |
| August 30, 2025 | Bloom's Taxonomy and Test Blueprint [6 hours]This workshop is designed to support faculty in aligning their teaching and assessment practices with clearly defined learning outcomes. The session will explore a range of student learning outcomes - from knowledge recall to higher-order thinking skills. Participants will create test blueprints that help ensure assessments are effectively aligned with intended learning outcomes. Given the institutional requirement for RTC faculty to integrate these practices into their instructional design, this session offers both theoretical grounding and practical application. Learning Outcomes:
| Dr. Tshering Dolkar, Faculty of Social Sciences | Mandatory for Spring '25 & Fall '25 batch |
| October 25, 2025 | Student-Centered Learning [6 hours]Creating a student-centered classroom starts with building strong, authentic relationships between teachers and students. This workshop will explore how trust, care, and a supportive classroom culture can help students feel more confident, engaged, and willing to think critically. Through discussions and activities, participants will learn relationship-building strategies they can apply in their teaching. Learning Outcomes:
