The concept of empowering learners and shifting the balance of
effort in the classroom is an exciting and transformative approach to
education. It recognizes that students have the capacity to take control of
their learning and contribute to the learning of their peers. The idea that
students can manage a significant portion of their learning is empowering
because it encourages them to become more active and engaged
participants in their education. By equipping them with the necessary
skills and strategies, such as self-assessment and goal-setting, students
can develop a sense of ownership and responsibility for their own learning
journey. By encouraging students to reflect on their progress, identify
areas for improvement, and set goals, they become more self-aware and
motivated to achieve their educational objectives. It recognizes the
importance of preparing students for the realities of the digital age, where
independent thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration are essential
skills. Overall, this approach to teaching and learning promotes a more
dynamic and student-centered classroom environment. It acknowledges
the potential of learners to drive their own educational experiences and
contribute meaningfully to the learning community. By embracing this
