PSC Profession: Chapter Analysis

Decent Essays
This chapter began with the brief history of the PSC profession, which I found to be very interesting! I was unaware that the space race had encouraged PSCs to push students into science. I’m curious what the current “push” to guide students into is. In my opinion, part of my job is inspiring children to get outside so they will be good stewards of the environment. I believe scientific fields will become increasingly important as we invent new ways of living to decrease pollution and fix global warming.
I found this chapter to present a much more helpful and detailed idea of supervision. The part I need more focus in is data collection. I find ASCA to be a wonderful model and see the grand importance of streamlining the nation’s PSCs curriculums.

    This is particularly important to me since as a child I never thought I would be smart enough to pursue my interests in STEM subjects. This caused me to abandon my goal of being and astronaut for lack of general reinforcement. To later discover Sally Ride Science, a non-profit company that she founded with her partner and close friends, and intentions of emboldening more girls and minorities to persist an enthusiasm in STEM subjects was profoundly inspiring. As of today, Sally Ride Science’s primarily focuses on aiding educators to encourage STEM proficiency in their students.

    Throughout history, education and what is taught to future generations has been a hot topic of debate. It should go without saying that preparing young children for the future, and how to operate in and become a functioning member of society should be paramount ideals when considering how to go about educating future generations. In recent history, there has been a sizable push to establish a specific viewpoint into public school curriculum—the science curriculum, to be more specific—around the nation. This viewpoint can be commonly referred to as Young-Earth Creationism, or creationism for short. This fundamentalist Christian viewpoint is a literal interpretation of the biblical account of creation, as written in the Book of Genesis.…
