Aging is a natural and lifelong process that begins at the moment of conception. If Americans are to adapt successfully to their own and others aging, they need to be educated to do so. Schools are the logical place for aging education to begin. Aging education has the potential for an exciting and rewarding future as it can increase the quality of life not only for future elderly, but for today's elderly as well. Education professionals need to be aware of the need for aging education and to advocate its integration into school curricula. In this article, the author presents an overview of aging education and identifies resources to help implement aging education in schools.
