AnnotationRetired educators and other older people can be influential advocates for education about ageing, by promoting balanced and accurate age-related education across core disciplines. This article presents the processes, outcomes, and evaluation of a pilot project involving retired educators in Colorado and Montana. The experiences from this pilot project can help guide older people's future efforts to increase teacher awareness of the need for education on ageing for adolescent age groups. (RH).
