Highlights of the upcoming Gero-Ed Forum!
We are putting the final touches on the February 2-4, 2007 Gero-Ed Forum in Charleston! Registration is now full. For more information visit our Web site: www.Gero-EdCenter.org.
We are happy to highlight several events:
- Keynote address by Kathy “GIDGET” Kohner Zuckerman, the little surfer girl with big ideas is now an inspiring nationally-regarded speaker who resumed surfing as an older adult. Book signing to follow the ceremony.
- Learn the latest directions in social work education related to competency-based education, presented byPhyllis Black, Chair of the CSWE Commission on Curriculum and Educational Innovation, and JoAnn Damron Rodriguez, one of the authors of the current gero social work competencies.
- Showcase Event and Reception – Over 50 peer reviewed abstracts will showcase the best practices in gero infusion from across the country. The Showcase will include a sponsored reception. A free gift will be given to the first 100 participants who visit the Gero-Ed Center table during this event!
- Stump the Funder – Four funders, representing national, regional and local foundations, will answer participants’ questions about funding and grantwriting.
Although registration is full, you can still join the gero movement by taking the CSWE Gero-Ed Center’s first eLearning course A Planned Change Model. This eLearning course concisely and practically guides you through our infusion and sustainability models.
