Jennifer Sasser Facilitates AGHE Workshop
Dr. Jennifer Sasser, chair of the human sciences department, facilitated a workshop at the Association for Gerontology in Higher Education conference
in St. Petersburg, Florida, in February 2013.
The workshop, entitled The Adventure Continues: Teaching Critical Thinking in Gerontology
Part Two, was a follow-up to her 2012 workshop. Through collaborative inquiry, resource
exchange and active learning, participants helped create a catalog of principles and
practices designed to foster students' capacities for critical reflection and action
in the multi-faceted field of aging.
The AGHE Annual Meeting and Educational Leadership Conference is the premier national forum for discussing ideas and issues in gerontological and
geriatric education. Educators, clinicians, administrators, researchers, and students
share their experiences, expertise and innovations regarding teaching and learning
about aging and older persons.
