Abstract
The transformations that have been occurring during the digital age have upended more traditional understandings regarding the teaching and learning process. A recognition of competencies that reflect a novice level of proficiency, dispositional understandings associated with professional expectations and ethics, as well as an experienced aptitude that reflects the capabilities that highlight a capacity towards an enhanced level of subject matter understanding are a progressive style of curricular design and engagement that supports a rethinking of training and talent development in the digital age. This discussion focuses upon a competencies, dispositions, and capabilities model that rethinks curricular design, development, implementation, and evaluation, towards transforming an understanding of teaching, learning, and talent development in the digital age.
