Members of Tibetan Department of the Tibetan Children’s Village School Gopalpur Read, Reviewed and made Presentation of the book ༼དུས་རབས་ཀྱི་རྔ་སྒྲ༽ written by Khenchen Tsultrim Lodoe, who by profession has been a teacher for a long period of time to our teachers of all the three sections; Senior, Junior and Infant sections on Saturday, September 20, 2014 after the school hour in the auditorium in presence of Mr. Wangdue (Head of Teacher Professional Development based at upper TCV School, Dharamsala). The year 2014 was earmarked for Professional Growth Plan of individual teachers (PGP) and Teacher Professional Development (TPD) in eleven pilot schools by the Department of Education under the initiation of Gen. Kalsang Wangdue la and sponsored by the Tibet Fund and the USAID. It is hoped that the new paradigms in teacher professional development which emphasize teacher-led, collaborative, continuous and school based interventions will bring substantial and long-term improvement in teachers’ class room practice in the Tibetan schools in the years ahead.
The book is filled with advice based on author’s years of teaching experiences and it is divided into six parts along the major lines of coherence. Each part of the book is presented by different members of the Tibetan Department ༼དུས་རབས་ཀྱི་རྔ་སྒྲ༽ དགེ་རྒན་གྱི་བསླབ་བྱ་ ༼སྟོད་ཆ༽

The book review and sharing in our school is the first in its kind and a giant leap forward towards the teachers’ professional development in our exile school community in the long term. Through such initiative, teachers are compelled to think of their divine responsibility in the making and shaping of our future citizens.
At the end Mr. Wangdue introduced the new website www.tibetanteachers.com which was recently inaugurated on Teachers’ Day, September 5, 2014 at Nyatri Tsokhang by Thupten Ngodup, the Secretary, Department of Education (CTA) for further information and improvement in the teacher professional development.
