The 21st century education focuses on developing thinking skill among learners of all ages. The teachers and the learners both have to balance on the sea-saw of ‘WHY’ and ‘HOW’ to enjoy the swing through Problem solving skills. The objective of lifelong learning can be well achieved only through knowledge construction in a phased manner. Knowledge construction takes place through a series of practices that induce questioning or developing the discovery approach to learning. The educator has an immense role to play; while devising his models of instructions for effective learning outcomes. A 21st century learner dwells and learns from different classrooms, he gathers multi-polar information. He devises his concepts through analyzing and experiencing. The student centric education is based on established fact that, each child is unique. This necessitates the need for unique and innovative approaches for imparting education. The podium of education in a society stands on Policies, Practices and Probes/research; which are all to be synced accordingly. The practices or the classroom behavior and action of the teacher play the most important role for effective or quality learning outcomes. On one hand we have the clearly stated objectives of SDG-4 from AGENDA 2030 and on the other hand we have the well-defined objectives of NEP 2016. The draft of NEP 2019 also emphasizes on the education policies to be made as per the existing demands of job market and change in technology. And to greet the future of learning we have to join our hands and align for bringing positive change. The educator has to be a ‘change agent’, a facilitator, a mentor, a co-worker and a guide as per the need of the hour. This paper is an attempt to make us identify the gaps in teaching-learning process and how to bridge them with creativity of the teacher through Innovative teaching practices
