It\u2019s for the girls, too.\u201d This simple statement made in 1978 by fifth-grade teacher Mrs. Ernestine Yarborough forever changed the trajectory of Janet Ivey-Duensing\u2019s life.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referring to Yarborough, Ivey-Duensing said, \u201cShe stoked the fires of my dreams with her affirmations. On different occasions, she told me, \u2018What a brilliant writer you are!\u2019 or, \u2018What an extraordinary thinker you are! You could become a scientist, or an artist, or perhaps both!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it came to science, Mrs. Yarborough encouraged students to incorporate it into everything, including their spelling words. The teacher brought a telescope to the playground on a fall evening when Ivey-Duensing was 10 years old, and she gazed at the stars and planets for the first time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can honestly say it was in Mrs. Yarborough\u2019s classroom that I fell head over heels for the solar system, the stars, and all the planets. I hold steadfastly to the belief that the seeds of my life\u2019s mission were sown within those hallowed classroom walls. Her example of what it means to be a teacher and educator is the metric by which I hold myself accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following that love of space and science her beloved teacher had inspired, Ivey-Duensing launched \u201cJanet\u2019s Planet\u201d 25 years ago. The program airs nationwide on more than 140 public television stations geared toward ages 7-12. It focuses on science, space, history, and health.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/hendersonville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/04\/1-3-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21692\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/hendersonville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/04\/1-3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/hendersonville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/04\/1-3-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/hendersonville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/04\/1-3-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Quickly rising to become a staple in children\u2019s entertainment and education, she has since received 12 Regional Emmys and five Gracie Awards. She also received an award for an educational video she wrote and produced, titled \u201cExploring Microgravity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During NASA\u2019s New Horizon mission, Ivey-Duensing collaborated with Chief Principal Investigator Alan Stern to increase\u00a0educational outreach. Her #DearPluto project garnered international outreach and resulted in letters to the dwarf planet pouring in from all over. Her favorite #DearPluto letter came from a fourth grader, Merrol Hyde, whose letter included the hashtag #WeWantOur9thPlanetBack!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 15 years, she was also the co-host of \u201cTennessee\u2019s Wildside.\u201d Additionally, she\u2019s appeared in many commercials, television shows, and film credits. Guests from across the country have joined Ivey-Duensing on stage during her thrilling live performances of \u201cTour of the Solar System\u201d and \u201cExploring Microgravity.\u201d As an accomplished author, she has published several books, including a series that celebrates lesser-known female scientists called \u201cUnsung Genius.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although her resume overflows with success, awards, and accolades, Ivey-Duensing said that receiving the Permission to Dream Award from the New World Institute, along with receiving the Sally K. Ride Excellence in Education Award from the American Astronautical Society (AAS), is the capstone of her career so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/hendersonville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/04\/2-4-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21690\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/hendersonville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/04\/2-4-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/hendersonville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/04\/2-4-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/goodnewsmags.com\/hendersonville\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2024\/04\/2-4-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSally K. Ride was more than an astronaut; she was a pioneer, a hero, and a symbol of possibility for so many\u2014 myself included. Witnessing her journey, from the announcement of the first female astronaut candidates to her historic venture into space, was a pivotal moment that inspired countless individuals \u2014 myself among them. Sally Ride\u2019s vision went beyond breaking through the atmosphere; she saw the stars as an opportunity to spark curiosity and passion, especially among young girls in the scientific realm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo be acknowledged by the esteemed AAS with an award honoring her legacy feels both surreal and immensely gratifying. It\u2019s a recognition that not only honors my dedication to education but also stands as a tribute to Sally K. Ride\u2019s trailblazing spirit, reminding us all of the limitless potential within the realms of STEM and the\u00a0importance of nurturing that curiosity and exploration in future generations.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivey-Duensing is a dedicated volunteer at Jack Anderson Elementary School, where she supports fifth-grade teachers with their yearly Project Based Learning initiatives. Since 2019, with the help of Hunt Brothers Pizza, she has sent 40 students to the United States Space and Rocket Center Space Camp in Huntsville, Alabama. She hopes to send 14 more this summer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen it comes to the students I\u2019ve had the privilege of working with, they\u2019re nothing short of inspiring. Engaged and eager, they constantly surprise me with their potential and genius ideas. These moments, where I witness their confidence grow or witness their curiosity flourishing, are what keep me dedicated to this work. It\u2019s the potential for these seemingly simple acts to inspire and shape the paths of these incredible students.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivey-Duensing still dreams of going to space. And if she doesn\u2019t make it there, she is certain one of her students will. <strong>GN&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cSCIENCE ISN\u2019T just for the boys, Janet.
