Invariable advances in research and technology continue to change our current state of knowledge; therefore, it is necessary to function as lifelong learners. In this course, educators examine intriguing and potentially critical directions in adult learning, including brain research, new technologies, and the impact of globalization. Educators also have the opportunity to examine and reflect on the effects of these trends on their own areas of interest. The capstone concludes the program by providing a practical application of educators’ learning. Working in a consultative role as a K–12 professional, educators engage in a real-world, problem-solving project within their work environment.
