| What did you like most about incorporating the aging module(s) into your curriculum? | -It felt relevant. Particularly the unit on human populations. They looked at the history of aging and the projections for the future. -The housing and careers section was most relevant for my students. |
| What did you like least about incorporating the aging module(s) into your curriculum? | -The fact that I had to make up my own assignments. I ended up making up activities that were a little bit more concrete in what would be assessed. -Nothing. |
| How likely are you to add aging content to your courses going forward? | -Would use the assignments that I created. Maybe should build on them. And, would add more stuff. -I plan to keep aging stuff in my curriculum going forward. I have plans to have speakers from senior residential settings. |
| How did the students respond to the curriculum? | -My students struggled with giving opinions about aging. -Student were neutral about the material. They like hands on stuff. They do not really like anything. They were neutral. |
| How can we improve the modules that we provided to you? | -Teachers like grab and go activities. They want to be able to copy right out of the book. Teachers pay teachers for prepared lessons, I don’t…. -I included my own information. I incorporated commercials about older adults and asked the students to evaluate. |
| Are you likely to recommend the modules to other teachers? | -Yeah. I would, they would be great. It is hard content wise—even in science. It would be good in statistics. Interpreting graphs and such on the 11th grade state test. Good practice for the state. Students had a little bit of a conversation about the graphs and talked about services that would be needed for students. -I should mention that parents liked it. |
