Countering Age-Related StereotypesMany people fear and dread t.docx
Countering Age-Related Stereotypes
Many people fear and dread the late adulthood stage of life because they believe what awaits them is ill health and cognitive decline. While that description fits some adults in later life, it certainly does not describe them all. Many older adults lead healthy, active lives and are closely connected to their families and communities. However, stereotypes related to aging are extremely prevalent in our culture and strongly influence our attitudes toward aging. Use your textbook and the Argosy University online library resources to research age-related stereotypes.
Read about one of the largest centenarian studies conducted in the U.S. at the following Web site:
· The University of Georgia Institute of Gerontology, College of Public Health.Georgia Centenarian Study. Retrieved fromhttp://www.publichealth.uga.edu/geron/research/centenarian-study
Create a chart evaluating three age-related stereotypes listing evidence that supports the stereotype (if it exists) and evidence that contradicts the stereotype. Be sure to include references for each stereotype. Present the information in a chart as shown:

Lexington Herald-Leader (KY) - Monday, January 23, 2006
Author: Donna Slone
My greatest fear in grades seven through 12 in the 1960s was that my English teacher would make good on her daily threats.
"I'm going to pinch your ears off and pitch you out the window," she shrieked whenever she caught a student daydreaming or unprepared.
Irene Slusher struck fear into the hearts of every student who entered her classroom on the second floor of Jackson City School in Breathitt County.
And we all had to enter.
Mrs. Slusher taught English to everyone at the school. I was one of 18 in the 1968 graduating class.
From her, we learned the parts of speech and the rules of punctuation. We never ended a sentence with a preposition. We learned to diagram sentences, and we
memorized and recited poems. We didn't dare turn in an assignment without first editing it for gramma.
Power point for class
The document summarizes several studies on the impact of arts education. It finds that students who are more involved in arts programs over extended periods of time tend to perform better academically and develop stronger creative thinking skills compared to students who are less involved. Specifically, one study found high arts involvement students scored higher on tests of creativity, had more positive self-perceptions as learners, and were less likely to drop out of high school. Another longitudinal study associated extended arts involvement with greater academic success, even for low socioeconomic students. Overall, the research suggests arts education can provide lasting benefits to students.
