NATLA Appoints Curriculum Developers
Specialists have been appointed
for developing curriculum that promotes education about aging in grades K-12. The
curriculum development appointees are: Deborah Rodriguez and Charlene Bustos, 1st and 2nd
grade teachers in the San Angelo, Texas, ISD; Dr. Monica Schocken, 3rd grade teacher in
the Lake Dallas, Texas, ISD; and Karen Brahn, 5th grade teacher in White Settlement,
Texas, ISD. These appointments were the result of a NATLA-sponsored summer workshop
"Gerontology in Education: Preparing for an Aging Society," conducted by NATLA's
Director, Dr. Donna Couper. The curriculum development for teachers is part of a project
funded by the Retirement Research Foundation.
