This paper explores the development of teaching methods and approaches, particularly with a shift from traditional teacher-centered to innovative, student-centered learning approaches. Traditional approaches that used to emphasize rote memorization and passive students have been defined with creativity, technology, and interactive learning approaches. Among the innovations is blended learning, which becomes a transformative model in learning because it integrates face-to-face teaching with digital tools in a flexible, personalized, and engaging learning environment. Different types of blended learning models, namely station rotation, flipped classroom, and the flex model, are discussed in the paper, with their specificities and possibilities described. Blended learning for the benefit of senior secondary education highlights meeting diverse needs, personalization in instruction, and readiness to face the digital age. The research supports the value of blended learning in student academic performance, increased students' engagement, development of critical thinking, and better collaborative work between teachers and their students. It further talks about implementation strategies for blended learning in classroom setup, planning of lessons, organization of a digital space, and even techniques of assessment. Concluding the paper, blended learning is not just the future of education but necessity for survival in the changing scene of learning. It equips the student with the kind of skills that are desirable both for academic and professional excellence.
