The goal of this capstone is to integrate theory and practice through an applied project that reflects the following areas of graduate-level learning: Specialized Knowledge: Students will demonstrate a deep understanding of major educational theories, research methods, and professional practices within their specialization. They will apply this knowledge to solve relevant problems and generate evidence-informed solutions, drawing from allied disciplines when appropriate. Broad and Integrative Knowledge: Projects will involve synthesizing concepts and methods across sub-fields of education—such as curriculum design, technology integration, inclusive education, or policy analysis—to explore the benefits and limitations of multi-perspective approaches. Applied and Collaborative Learning: Students will design and implement a project outside the classroom setting that addresses a practical challenge in education. This includes engaging with real stakeholders, applying best practices, and reflecting on professional standards and debates relevant to their area of focus. Civic, Global, and Intercultural Learning: Capstone work will invite students to engage critically with issues of equity, diversity, inclusion, and access.
