This community service program aimed to empower Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) teachers in enhancing their skills to design deep learning through innovative training. The program was conducted at MTs Al-Fauzi and involved 20 teachers as participants. Initial analysis revealed that most teachers were in the medium (45%) and low (35%) categories, while only 20% achieved the high category. This indicated that teachers faced challenges in integrating higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), problem-solving, and project-based learning into their lesson plans. After the training, a significant shift occurred: the low category decreased to 10%, the medium category dropped to 30%, and the high category increased to 60%. These results demonstrate that innovative training through hands-on practice, collaborative discussion, and lesson design simulation was effective in improving teachers’ skills. However, the program had several limitations, including limited training duration, short-term evaluation, and a relatively small number of participants. Therefore, continuous mentoring and follow-up activities are recommended to ensure that the improved skills are consistently applied in daily classroom practices.
