Summary
This book considers important dimensions of the current changing environment of continuing education, including
racial and ethnic diversity of professionals and the impact of technological developments on professional practice,
and therefore, on continuing education. The text addresses the need to move beyond simply the delivery of content
to educating for empowerment, wellness, critical thinking, and entrepreneurship. It also provides a rich discussion
of how continuing education is being used to resolve critical issues in the structure and practice of 13 different
professions.
