Shifts Transforming Education

By: Carmen Gigar

Technology has revolutionized our world and daily lives, and education is no exception. Living in a post pandemic world, learning is no longer restricted to the physical classroom, nor is it solely teacher-driven. Students of all walks of life have more choices and more flexibility now more than ever. Let’s look at some of these shifts that are transforming this new way of education.

A More Individualized Take

In today’s changing world, learning is no longer one size fits all. Traditional schools and grading systems still rely on standardized tests that ignore the individual abilities of different students. With new programs emerging, students will be able to learn in ways that are best suited to their capabilities. Through interactive media, step by step modules and audio/video tools, students can learn and grow in ways that resonate with their personal learning styles.

Allowing more inclusive ways of learning also takes the fear out of pursuing higher education for a lot of students. Additionally, this shift has been extremely valuable for entrepreneurs and business owners. If you want to specialize in growing a niche business, or a particular area of your business, you can find a program or masterclass specifically for that goal.

More Resources

It’s become common for most developed schools to have access to a wider and deeper range of learning sources. In the past, students and learners would only have access to a library, and whatever is available in the classroom. Now, almost virtually everyone, has the entire internet available to them. This also allows us to view real-time information with all of the resources on the internet to help answer questions or think of new questions to ask. More resources also give more room for creativity in education. Instead of traditional written reports, learners can collaborate on a Google document or create content through design programs.

Furthermore, as we reach 2023 and beyond, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is beginning to pop up in learning institutions. AI can potentially make learning more accessible as AI-enabled learning software can seamlessly adapt to a student’s individual abilities. Along with AI, technology such as virtual reality will help enhance participation rates and the overall quality of education.

There’s no denying that these shifts in education have come to be a powerful tool that can truly transform the way we learn in a myriad of ways. With the global reach of the internet and smart phones, the age of modern education has arrived and will continue to surprise us moving forward.

Reason #1: Different styles and methods of business coaching don't work for everyone

It's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Every individual brings their own experiences and values to the coaching dynamic, so results will vary. Additionally, some individuals might need more than just a coach. They might also need specialised knowledge or communication strategies specific to their industry or target audience. Below are a few key factors to consider:

Reason #2: There is no clear focus or vision (talk about time dedication here too)

cIt's important to be honest with yourself and conduct a realistic assessment when it comes to business coaching. Though business coaching can have many benefits, it might not work for everyone.

Business coaching is an effective tool for developing a clearer focus and vision for growing your business. A good coach will help you to take a comprehensive look at your strengths, weaknesses, and available resources that can be used to reach those goals. They will also help you draw up action plans with step-by-step instructions to get there.

By providing honest feedback and being patient throughout the process, a business coach can make sure that you’re on the right track. This will enable you to set realistic milestones and tasks.

These tasks may need dedicated time outside of coaching sessions. For example, a coach might help a client develop a marketing strategy or implement new systems for managing employees. However, if the client does not have enough time to devote to these tasks outside of coaching sessions, progress will likely stall.

Both the coach and the client must have enough time available to reflect on past experiences, brainstorm new solutions, and test out different strategies. If either party is rushed or distracted during coaching sessions due to other commitments or obligations, they may struggle to fully engage in this process.

Effective business coaching also requires a commitment to regular meetings and ongoing communication. If either the coach or the client does not have enough time to dedicate to these meetings, progress may be slow or nonexistent.

It's important to recognise that business coaching is an ongoing process that takes time to yield results. While some clients may see improvements after just a few sessions with their coach. Others may need months or even years of consistent effort before they begin seeing real changes in their businesses.
