As education has moved toward flipped classrooms, classroom time is increasingly used for application and experiential learning rather than information delivery. This evolution in teaching places greater responsibility on learners to identify their learning needs and take an active role in their own development. As educators, our role is not only to provide knowledge and guidance, but also to help learners develop the skills to reflect on their experiences, set meaningful goals, and take ownership of their learning. Coaching offers a learner-centered approach to building this capacity by supporting reflection, autonomy, and purposeful action.
