Teaching tools: The Global Aging Quiz

The first day of class, I give my students the U.S. Census Bureau’s “Global Aging Quiz”.  It’s a great way to get them thinking about the kinds of issues raised by demographic aging.  I use the quiz to provide a context for my introduction to elder law (Chapter 1 of my casebook)…and to get them used to the idea of interactive discussion and participation.  It works–kind of.

Access the quiz via  U.S. Census Bureau (Kinsella, et al.) An Aging World (2009) (pp. 5-6).
