Annotation	Multidisciplinary collaboration is one of the hallmarks of gerontological education, and prompts this article. Using a case study approach based on the 2000 summer workshop "Getting Aging Public Policy into the Curriculum" hosted by the Center for Policy Research at Syracuse University, the authors discuss some of the pedagogical implications for co-operative learning and collaboration in faculty teaching ageing and public policy courses. Consistent with co-operative learning strategies, three modules have been developed on grandparents, public policy and the law; social security reform; and international ageing policy and women. Each module includes class activities and flexible co-operative learning approaches to use in the development and implementation of courses that include ageing and public policy content. (KJ/RH).
