Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. King’s beliefs had a continual focus on non-violence and reasonable communication as a mechanism to resolve issues and disputes peaceably. In his six principles of non-violence which were Fundamental tenets of Dr. King’s philosophy described in his first book, Stride Toward Freedom. Dr. King emphasized that: 1) it takes courage to choose the path of non-violence; that relationship building is paramount to winning friendship and gaining understanding; 2) the goal within the framework is to defeat evil through disarmament of the injustices rather than violence directed on the evildoers; 3) that those in the midst of unearned suffering can educate and transform with open communication about their circumstances rather than be reactive and pursue a path of violence; 4) nonviolence chooses love instead of hate which is spontaneous, unmotivated and unselfish; 5) the nonviolent resister has deep faith that in the final analysis justice will win out; 6) nonviolence believes that the universe is on the side of justice and God is a God of justice. In Dr. King’s, The Beloved Community he had a vision of a community that was not devoid of interpersonal, group or international conflict. Instead he recognized that conflict was an inevitable part of human experience. But he believed that conflicts could be resolved peacefully and adversaries could be reconciled through a mutual, determined commitment to nonviolence. No conflict, he believed, need erupt in violence. Which brings us to the common denominator, that opens all doors in this life to enrichment, understanding, and opportunity – that is EDUCATION. The PSD is driven by its mission “to prepare every student by name for success at every level”.

  • 2017-2018 Annual Report
    The Pennsylvania Basic Education/Higher Education Science and Technology Partnership 2017-2018 Annual Service Report Executive Summary The Science In Motion program sustained bipartisan support by members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly and was inserted back into the 2017-2018 state budget after deletion by the Governor. Science In Motion(SIM) was very eager to be able to provide hands-on, inquiry-based experiences to the participating schools in its role as the premier high school science education outreach program for the Commonwealth. Financial hardship of program funding over the past several years has forced many of the SIM host sites to reduce service area size, delay service to schools for several months, or completely stop service before the end of the school year. Of the sites that had science education specialists (mobile educators) from the ten-member colleges and universities, Science In Motion staff members presented over 1,590 hands-on laboratory experiences to 212 different schools. The program also provided an additional 6,206 drop-off laboratory kits for short term loan and offered 13 days of professional development workshop opportunities consortium-wide for over 55 teachers. Overall, Science In Motion provided 470 different teachers with 759 different labs creating 158,320 student experiences during the 2017-2018 school year. What is Science In Motion? Most Pennsylvania high schools cannot afford the modern, well-maintained equipment that it takes to prepare students for today’s modern technological careers in science, engineering and other technical fields. Modern scientific training is especially expensive as it requires multiple sets of equipment so that each student can get a hands-on, inquiry-based experience.
