By Joann Montepare
Supported by a grant from the APS Fund for Teaching and Public Understanding of Psychological Science
- Do you have an age-focused class activity you designed?
- Do your students participate in an intergenerational project?
- Do you use a favorite film or book on aging in your class?
- Do you want to share your teaching ideas with others and learn about what they are doing?
"Talk of Ages" will provide a "one-stop" resource for instructor-friendly teaching tools. You are invited to submit a description of an aging or intergenerational activity or resource you use in your class. Your piece will be featured in a search-able collection of innovative teaching materials.
Format for your submissions:
- Your name, affiliation, contact information.
- Activity or resource title.
- Brief description of the activity (with directions) or resource (250-500 words).
- Supporting materials (e.g., relevant URL address, handouts, assessment tools, references, etc.).
- "Advice" for other instructors.
