8. SOUNDBITE (English) Kimberly Bleier, social studies teacher at Concord High School:
“I would say what’s new about this documentary is that it doesn’t focus on how she died. It focuses on who she was, what she believed for our society, for our students, and her life, and her legacy.”

We do a lot of field trips, a lot of guest speakers, and make the topic really come alive and be relevant to their day-to-day lives.”

STORYLINE:
Before Christa McAuliffe was an astronaut, she was a vibrant teacher in New England, keen on showing her students how everyday people left extraordinary marks on U.S. history.
Nearly four decades later, a new documentary focuses on how she still inspires others and less on her fate aboard the space shuttle Challenger.
“Christa: From Ordinary to Extraordinary” from New Hampshire PBS explores her close relationship with the state and its capital, Concord, where she was picked from more than 11,000 applicants to be the nation’s first teacher in space.
McAuliffe was 37 when she was killed, one of the seven crew members aboard the Challenger when the space shuttle broke apart on live TV on Jan. 28, 1986. The documentary briefly touches on the tragedy.
