Abstract
Teachers tend to feverishly implement new educational practices that have been introduced. While the wholehearted ground support is necessary for their successful implementation, most teachers have, in the process, become more consumer-minded rather than being trendsetters. Is this a role expected of teachers? If so, what trends can teachers set? What are the critical success factors? This is an ideas paper on the changing role teachers need to play in the 21st century classroom.
