Fostering Age-Inclusive Learning Communities
Posted by anne.grey
Presented By: Jenny Sasser, Gerontology Program & CTLE, and Kerry Pataki, Part-Time Instructor, Teaching and Learning Excellence.
Summary
Aging is everywhere and nowhere at the same time. PCC is an age-diverse organization; our classrooms are multi-generational. No matter where we are situated in the life-course, we are all aging. And yet issues of age, aging, and ageism are often left out of discussions of intersectionality as well as culturally responsive and inclusive pedagogy. The purpose of this session is to explore these issues as educators and as individuals who are growing older and to discover practices for infusing our work with age-inclusive and aging-appreciative practices.
