The contemporary educational landscape is constantly changing, driven by technological innovations, socioeconomic changes, and new cultural and cognitive demands. In this context, the role of the teacher becomes more complex, requiring adaptations in professional skills and teaching methods. This article explores the main current educational trends, focusing on digital technologies, personalized learning, and socio-emotional skills. The methodology includes a critical analysis of the literature and review of contemporary educational practices. The results demonstrate that digital technologies not only facilitate access to knowledge, but also transform the dynamics of teaching-learning, requiring teachers to act as mediators and facilitators of learning. The personalization of teaching stands out as an effective approach to meet the individual needs of students, while the development of socio-emotional skills is essential for the integral formation of students. The article concludes that, although these new practices are essential for the engagement and effectiveness of teaching, institutional support is needed to ensure that teachers adapt adequately to this new educational landscape.
