The compendium of addresses and resource documents taken from reports of three Institutes on Education for Aging held at Florida State University, 1969, 1971, and 1972 is offered as a general guide for those wishing to initiate educational programs for the aging. The document provides practical program suggestions and the views of authorities within the field. Illustrative material is oriented to Florida and the southeast, but is generally applicable in other regions. The physiological, psychological, and sociological aspects of aging are reviewed and second career planning for older adults discussed in the first section, while the second section deals with education, counseling, the learning process and some of the teaching problems encountered. The final section offers suggestions in program planning and includes: procedural steps; needs assessment; establishing priorities and utilizing resources; program planning; and program evaluation.
