I berhre the future. I teach. That was the motto of Christa McAuliffe, a high school teacher from New Hampshire, which had been in 1985 ausgewhlt the LehrerinimWeltraumProgramm NASA, with over 11,000 candidates fr. You should make the space age human by presenting it from the perspective of a NichtAstronautin. But it turned out differently. The memory of Christa McAuliffe for ever burned into the national Gedchtnis the USA when the ChallengerRaumfhre, with McAuliffe and six crew members on board, exploded 74 seconds after launch.
Although her father had persuaded her to study auswrts, Christa went to Framingham State College in her home town in order to save money for their younger siblings. In 1970, she started at a berfllten stdtischen school as a teacher, in the same year in which she made her BA FINAL in history and married ce thales her childhood friend from high school. Your Magistra (MA) Christa made in the compartments pdagogische Supervision and Administration. The young couple McAuliffe then lie down with the two children in Concord, New Hampshire, where Christa taught at the high school history.
McAuliffe took a pedagogy of learning first-hand and on-site and put the PERSONAL experience at the center of their teaching. She led field investigations and gave their classes innovative project tasks. The diaries of American pioneers had impressed her deeply, and she developed a high school course, the American woman in the lead the pupils diary and read diaries should. It was Christa McAuliffe very important because their pupils the importance of ordinary people for understanding the history and wrdigten. As part of their program in the Raumfhre she planned to give two lessons directly from space and live a diary about their unique experiences. Just as the pioneers of fhrten Conestoga treks PERSONAL diaries, I dignity, as a pioneer of space to do the same (from her letter ce thales of application).
As a passionate Befrworterin of professional teachers ce thales Christa Prsidentin had become the teachers union. She sat for improving the status of pedagogical professions and hoped, as the Teacher-in-space program of NASA dignity revive the public interest in the moribund education.
Despite the terrible end of the Challenger Christa McAuliffes are beliefs and their life's work remained alive in a comprehensive and constantly growing legacy of institutions and foundations: college tuition and scholarships, lectures, cultural exchange ce thales programs, ce thales an educational center and a planetarium that were planned in their minds and named after her.
As a woman, I was always envious of men who were able to participate in the space program and were encouraged to excel in mathematics and the natural sciences. I found, as women were excluded from tatschlich one of the most exciting career fields that existed. When Sally Ride and the other women then started the training ce thales as an astronaut, I looked for my pupils an ever ffnendes field of possibilities. I myself can not join the space program and once again start my life from the beginning as an astronaut. But this opportunity to combine my skills as Pdagogin with my interests ce thales for history and space is a unique opportunity from carrying ce thales my frhen dreams. I was at the birth of the space age there, and I mchte like to join. (From Christa McAulifes ce thales Berwerbung for participation in the Teacher-in-space ce thales program)
