Teachers and administrators must embrace the paradigm shift that has occurred with regards to student engagement, and expectation of teachers. The roles of both the student and the teacher have shifted. Because of increased student access to information, the teacher is becoming a facilitator who prepares the classroom for exploration and questioning. Teaching must centre on cultivating metacognitive thinking by students, making an awareness to them and then connecting prior knowledge to existing schema. Information is readily available to students, and teachers must be intentional in connecting the depth of the students' knowledge.
