A war of what, you ask? Well, let me explain, <strong>Paro College<\/strong> is more than just a place of learning; it&#8217;s a training ground, preparing us soldiers to face the realities of the teaching world head on. And I&#8217;m proud to be one of those soldiers. We&#8217;ve been armed with skills and knowledge from so many modules, but none quite like <strong>PED202: Skills for Effective Teaching<\/strong>. This is where the real battlefield training begins. It&#8217;s an intense experience for our B.Ed Dzongkha Primary students in their third semester, and for the B.Ed General students, they experience in their second semester.<\/span><\/p><p><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Almost <em>Twelve module teachers<\/em> unite to train hundreds of us, the future educators. This intensive program feels like preparing for a war zone, as we ready ourselves for the demanding realities ahead. The classroom is our <em>battlefield<\/em>, and student success is our <em>ultimate mission<\/em>. Just like soldiers undergo harsh training, we trainee teachers dive into intensive training programs. We&#8217;re consistently bombarded with educational theories, pedagogical strategies, crucial classroom management techniques, and comprehensive curriculum development. This module is often both academically and emotionally challenging.<\/span><\/p><p><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Each lecturer teaches us on a different topic, yet all instruction is aligned with fostering co-learning and embracing a less teacher-centered approach. This collective effort is designed to nurture each child&#8217;s holistic development, ensuring we&#8217;re ready for any challenge the &#8220;classroom battlefield&#8221; that is on our way.<\/span><\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pce.edu.bt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/art2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"264\" \/><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">This module, commonly referred to as <em><strong>microteaching<\/strong><\/em>, is where students finally put all the theory they&#8217;ve learned into practical action. It runs practically during the last three weeks of the semester, giving everyone a real taste of what it&#8217;s like to teach. Students prepare their own teaching materials for a lesson plan, and then they get a tight 15 minutes to actually deliver it. That short time slot is exactly why it&#8217;s called &#8220;microteaching&#8221; despite the actual name of this module.<\/span><\/p><p><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Here&#8217;s how it&#8217;s done. The class will be split into three groups, with about 10 students in each. Each group gets a specific lecturer assigned to them, and that lecturer focuses on observing their group using just one of the three different instructional cycles they&#8217;re learning about: the Sydney cycle, the 5E model, or the 5-steps approach. This means that as students take turns teaching every week, they&#8217;ll rotate through being observed by different lecturers, each guiding them through a distinct teaching framework. By the end of the module, everyone will have valuable, hands-on experience with all three approaches.<\/span><\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pce.edu.bt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/art1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"297\" \/><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">And then, to really wrap things up, we have this awesome <em>Teaching-Learning Material (TLM) display<\/em>. This is where we can go wild! We get to create any teaching material we want, on any topic that grabs us. Our lecturers will come around, not just to admire, but to really check if what we&#8217;ve made is genuinely valid and reliable for students. It&#8217;s always a treat to see all the different TLMs everyone comes up with. Honestly, this part of the module totally brings out that little kid in each of us who loves making things.<\/span><\/p><p><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">This particular module truly pushed me, training me hard, both physically and mentally. It was all about preparing trainee teachers to face the teaching world head on. Now, having completed it, I feel incredibly confident. PED202 was remarkably effective, boosting the confidence of even the most timid among us and aligning our strategies with 21st-century teaching to make learning truly impactful.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-meta wp-show-posts-entry-meta-below-post post-meta-stack\"><span class=\"wp-show-posts-byline wp-show-posts-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wp-show-posts-author vcard\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemprop=\"author\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"url fn n\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pce.edu.bt\/?author=1\" title=\"View all posts by pce\" rel=\"author\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"author-name\" itemprop=\"name\">pce<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/div><\/div><!-- wp-show-posts-inner --><\/article><article class=\" wp-show-posts-single post-10009 page type-page status-publish hentry wpsp-col-4\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" itemscope><div class=\"wp-show-posts-inner\" style=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-title\" itemprop=\"headline\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pce.edu.bt\/?page_id=10009\" rel=\"bookmark\">From Success to Significance: Embracing Excellence<\/a><\/h2><div class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-meta wp-show-posts-entry-meta-below-title post-meta-inline\"><span class=\"wp-show-posts-posted-on wp-show-posts-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pce.edu.bt\/?page_id=10009\" title=\"7:21 am\" rel=\"bookmark\"><time class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-date published\" datetime=\"2026-03-28T07:21:57+06:00\" itemprop=\"datePublished\">March 28, 2026<\/time><time class=\"wp-show-posts-updated\" datetime=\"2026-03-28T09:19:15+06:00\" itemprop=\"dateModified\">March 28, 2026<\/time><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/span><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/header><!-- .entry-header -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-show-posts-entry-content\" itemprop=\"text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"wp-page\" data-elementor-id=\"10009\" class=\"elementor elementor-10009\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d27ecb4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d27ecb4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b36e865\" data-id=\"b36e865\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96edc9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"96edc9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"133\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pce.edu.bt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Kinley-Bida.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-8570\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f8e4eba elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f8e4eba\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4975614\" data-id=\"4975614\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-771b938 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"771b938\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva;

Personally, I have always had the experience of finding it tiresome to pursue success on my own. Sometimes, I was too focused on the outcomes: grades, recognition or approvals. What did it do? Well, it has made me nervous and self-objectively evaluate myself. This made me realize that success is not here to stay, it fades away after a certain period of time. However, the work I had done, the lessons I had learned and the man I had become in the process stuck with me far longer.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">It all began to change when my thinking changed to excellence. Instead of reasoning about the result, I had done my best in all the aspects-studying, assignments, nursing in a class, devotion to community service, and future instruction preparation. This quest to excel provided me with a meaning. I was more at ease, concentrated, and associated with my development. It was not about being superior to other people; it was about making myself better.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">This journey was also accompanied by confidence as a result of excellence. The more I was trying to be sincere in my work, the more I thought I could have an ability. It is not that I wanted someone to recognize me since I was aware that I had done my best, although no one may have noticed. Such gratification indoors was much better than applause or prize. Success cannot offer patience, discipline or humility which was taught to me by excellence.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">Ironically, it began to come naturally when I started not running after success. The opportunities got within reach and I did not pursue them, yet they were readily accessible due to my diligence and commitment. This experience helped me to learn that excellence is a by-product of success. We shall have success following us when we attach our minds on getting better. And that to me is the loveliest lesson I have so far had in life.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">Indeed, I will be very much indebted to my tutors, who have assisted me in opening my eyes to this fact. Their instructions, constant feedback and belief in my abilities undertook a turning point in my conceptualization of learning and achievement. Instead of pushing me to pass tests and get good grades in order to impress others, they taught me to appreciate the process in which curiosity, grit and learning to self are appreciated.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">They reminded me that learning is not a competition but a growth. Through their words and actions, I learned that the true development lies where we concentrate on the things we can actually control; how we work, how we approach our work and how much we are willing to do our best. Thanks to them, I also got to know how not to look at the challenges as something to overcome but as the chance to improve myself and learn more.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">I especially appreciated such instances when they took me out of my comfort zone. It was to encourage me to speak up in the classroom, polish my assignments or to be proactive in serving the community. More importantly, it demonstrated to me that excellence is not perfection, it is progress.

They went as a work force but returned with palpable memories and meaningful experiences. A total of 105 \u2018PCEans\u2019 participated in this noble service where 26 of them were from teaching faculty, 21 non-teaching staffs and 58 trainees. From there I have collected some of their experiences in being the great support for this great project, building a City of Mindfulness in Gelephu.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">\u201cMy volunteering experience at the Gelephu Mindfulness City during the fourth round of the four-day voluntary program was meaningful. It has allowed me to witness diverse people coming together, united by their belief in His Majesty\u2019s visionary mission of building the world\u2019s first Buddhist Mindfulness City. Many volunteers selflessly set aside their homes and work commitments to serve the development of GMC, and I felt honored to contribute, even in the smallest way I could.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pce.edu.bt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/gmc1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"201\" height=\"261\" \/>It was an very enchanting to see the programs efficiently coordinated, the team leaders, catering services, health in-charge personnel, forestry services, and transportation and all working seamlessly to support a massive gathering of nearly 10,000 volunteers. This made me reflect the strong spirit of unity, devotion, and collective responsibility of the Bhutanese. This experience reminded me of the quote \u2018what\u2019s reality now, was once a dream\u2019. While GMC is still a vision, the work being done today is part of turning that dream into reality, and I am proud and grateful to have played my modest part in serving my nation.\u201d &#8211; Devika Rai(4PCA)<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">\u201cBeing a 4th batch volunteer at GMC for four days was truly an enriching and memorable experience as a trainee for me. Throughout the program, I had the opportunity to work closely with fellow volunteers, irrespective of their age, coordinators, and leaders which helped me develop better teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. Each day filled me with sense of pride and love for the country. It was certainly my small contribution for the future envisioned by His Majesty the fifth Druk Gyalpo, Jigme Khesar Namgay Wangchuk. <img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pce.edu.bt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tshering.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"202\" height=\"282\" \/>The experience taught me the importance of responsibility, time management, and community service. Additionally, his majesty, personally visited the site at the last day mainly to thank people who volunteered and travelled from all over the country. This reminded me that I am a proud Bhutanese and how lucky I am to be born in this particular era. His Majesty said that he is more than sure that the GMC will be successful because he trusts his people. He said that we will not rely on chances. Overall, these four days as a GMC 4th Batch volunteer were both rewarding and inspiring, leaving me motivated to continue serving and engaging in similar initiatives in the future.\u201d \u2013 (Tshering Lhamo, 4PCA)<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, Geneva; font-size: 12pt;\">\u201cI felt truly blessed to be able to contribute to building our future city on the plains of Gelephu.

Visiting the mural feels like entering a quiet space for reflection. Many people, especially the students expressed that they find comfort and calmness while standing before it. The detailed artwork and the design captures attention and helps one feel connected to the deeper values of Buddhist teachings. The mural also serves as a source of guidance, encouraging everyone to approach learning and life with understanding and good intention.For Paro College of Education, the Manjushree sand mural is more than just decoration; it is a blessing and a guide. It reminds the entire college family to walk the path of knowledge with humility, kindness, and clarity. The mural will continue to inspire wisdom among future teachers, helping them become educators who teach not only with intellect but also with compassion and insight.
