I’m an author or editor of a generalist social work textbook. What can I do to include aging content in my next edition?
We have an entire Web page dedicated to Textbook Infusion with a wealth of resources, including: • Checklist for Gerontology Infusion in Textbooks • A Model of Textbook Gero Infusion • Print and Electronic Resources on Aging and Gerontological Social Work • Suggested Readings on Use of Language about Older Adults • Executive Summary of 2004 & 2009 Textbook Reviews Case studies and other types of in-class exercises under Teaching Resources may also be helpful to you.
