Earlier, the educational systems are inherited from decades-old industrial-era structures and procedures that have not progressed to meet the learning needs of the twenty-first century. However, the worldwide pandemic has generated a wide range of chances to rethink education by allowing instructors to take on new roles and reimagine schools. The COVID-19 epidemic has also highlighted the importance of leveraging emerging ideas for developing child-cantered methods to support 21st-century education solutions.

Teachers innovating education

Schools are being reformed in several nations under the guidance of teachers. Teachers banded together throughout the pandemic to develop and support one another amid school closures. Some of the methods they used as education solutions are:

  • Exchanging technical assistance while using new technology
  • Developing innovative pedagogies
  • Using digital platforms
  • Curating resources

All of these were done for innovative as well as resilient students.

New approaches to education

Innovative education is approaching in school design, teacher preparation and development, and learning.

Teachers around the world spearheaded efforts to link children and their families to schools online (and in other ways) during the crisis by assuring access, exchanging ideas with parents and teachers, and forming partnerships. During the crisis, many teachers showed ingenuity by leading content development, enabling capacity development as peer leaders, mentoring, and quickly accepting and catalyzing change in their schools.

Learning and development

There has also been a progradation of new findings in the theories of learning and learner development during COVID-19, particularly the ways in wherein relationships and settings influence brain growth and learning. It highlights the importance of a holistic educational strategy that considers each student's social, academic, and emotional development in learner-cantered and culturally relevant ways.

The leadership of teachers in collaboration and invention

Developing environments that support teacher development, leadership, education solutions, and judgment as basic parts of the school design, while incorporating teachers themselves, is an important part of creating this capacity.

As suggested by the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS), teachers willing to participate in decision-making at the school level had higher work satisfaction and were more likely to regard teaching as a respected profession in their nations.

Teachers preparing for future innovations

Professional development that improves student achievement is rigorous, collaborative, job-embedded, and classroom-centered, according to a growing body of research. While three-quarters of instructors worldwide said cooperative forms of career development positively benefited their teaching practice, just 44 percent said they participated in such learning in the TALIS survey.

To enable innovation, increase effectiveness, and establish shared knowledge and collective efficacy in their teaching, effective educational standards emphasize time and other resources for teachers to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and engage in collective decision-making.

To enable innovative education, increase effectiveness, and establish shared knowledge and collective efficacy in their teaching, effective educational standards emphasize time and other resources for teachers to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and engage in collective decision-making. This necessitates a shift in how we think about and fund teaching programs, professional learning, career paths, remuneration, and evaluation.

What does future education hold for teachers?

The most potent method to enable student learning and directly contribute to the transformation of education is to prepare the next generation of teachers with the best support and expertise that our systems can provide. This is relevant when those teachers use whole-child pedagogies and techniques. To ensure that teachers can innovate and that these innovations can be designed referring to the whole-child paradigm, education systems must listen to teachers and give them the resources they require, such as good training and other forms of support.
