[Agedirectors] Message from Joann Montepare

[Neil Charness]

Hi Folks:  Had a bounce from a message sent by Joann so am copying it below.  Also, wanted to poll folks on agenda items for our upcoming meeting at GSA in November. If you have any items that you would like, please let us know soon.  I'd love to have some volunteers too to talk briefly about any innovative programs that their center has sponsored that can be shared with our group.

Best, Neil

AGHE's 9th Annual Teaching Institute
>From 18 to 108: What Teaching and Training Could Look
Like at an Age-Friendly University
Wednesday, November 13 | 12:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Speakers:  Laura Donorfio, University of Connecticut; Carrie Andreoletti, Central Connecticut State University; Lisa Borrero, University of Indianapolis; Brian Champman, University of Connecticut; Lyn Holley, University of Nebraska at Omaha; Joann Montepare, Lasell University; Kimberly Farah, Lasell University; Nina Silverstein, University of Massachusetts Boston

This interactive workshop will discuss how changing age demographics have inspired the Age-Friendly University (AFU) initiative and greater attention to pedagogy and age diversity in classrooms. A panel of experts will discuss and share various teaching, learning, and training strategies successfully used with older learners and intergenerational models that can easily fit into an existing or aspirational AFU framework. Participants will share thoughts on the challenges and barriers that arise when considering aspirational frameworks needed to become an AFU. Common myths, logistical steps, and strategies to successfully implement AFU activities will be discussed, as well as how to get university, community, and student buy-in. Many of us are already using various strategies and models that fall under the guise of an AFU but are unaware of how to further develop these models to achieve AFU designation. In its broadest sense, this workshop will help campuses become more age-friendly.
