The primary focus is on how this holistic approach impacts student engagement and their learning outcomes, as well as ways to empower teachers in an ever-evolving educational environment. The findings from this study provide important insights into teacher excellence in the 21st century, offering recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers in efforts to improve the quality of basic education. The results of this study contribute significantly to the discourse of teacher excellence and 21st century education, highlighting the importance of responsive and innovative educational adaptations in elementary schools.
