The capability of educators to respond to the dynamics of 21st-century education is a primary determinant in establishing a high-quality learning environment. Based on initial findings at SMAN 7 Mataram, a disparity was identified between the urgency of applying varied learning models and the reality in the field, which still relies heavily on conventional, teacher-centered approaches. This situation implies minimal active student participation and suboptimal stimulation of critical thinking skills or Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This community service program was initiated to escalate teacher capacity at SMAN 7 Mataram, specifically in designing Deep Learning-based schemes. The implementation approach adopted the Participatory Action Research (PAR) method, involving the full attention of 70 teachers through a series of phases, ranging from preparation and implementation to evaluation and mentoring. Key interventions included training on compiling Deep Learning-oriented Lesson Plans and teaching simulations. Program effectiveness was measured through questionnaires, lesson plan document reviews, and observations. Evaluation data showed a substantial positive impact, marked by an increase in conceptual understanding of Deep Learning indicators (40%), 6C principles (40%), the teacher's function as a facilitator (32%), and the application of authentic assessment (40%). In terms of implementation, the quality of lesson plans accommodating student-centered activities surged significantly from 30% in the pre-activity phase to 100% after the activity. It can be concluded that this program effectively boosts teachers' pedagogical competence comprehensively and encourages the transformation of teaching practices in the classroom to become more dynamic.
