<h3><strong>Motivation for the Public Service (D-3)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<em><strong>"I was having a better time at my job than were those of my peers who had opted for private practice. Life as a public servant was more interesting. The work was more challenging. The encouragement and guidance from good mentors was more genuine. And the opportunities to take initiative and to see real results were more frequent." </strong></em><br /> <br />- Sandra Day O'Connor<br /> <br />Motivation for public service is often referred to as a “calling” and those who hear it are determined to do meaningful work that will make a difference to their communities. Often those with the motivation for public service come from families with experience working in public service. They choose to pursue an education that will prepare them for working in administrative positions or in one of the many fields of public service, such as social welfare, law enforcement, and firefighting. Those who choose to work in nonprofit organizations also share the motivation for public service with concern for the wellbeing of others over and above their own gain.<br /> <br />Many who study motivation for public service do so to inform public sector recruitment processes. Person-to-organization fit is an important aspect of successful personnel recruitment. Studies have found that the motivation for public service differs from the motivation for careers in private businesses. Another indication of motivation for public service is an interest in public policy. Public policy development is fundamental to public service since public policies indicate the focus of public service delivery and the role and function of public agencies and their employees.<br /> <br />Socialization also influences individuals’ motivation for public service. A form of socialization, in addition to parental and educational, is professional socialization. Membership in professional public service organizations, participation in their conferences and other networking activities contributes a lot to building awareness of what is entailed in responding to the call to public service.

Description
An account of the resource
Race to the Top was a multi-billion dollar grant created by the United States Department of Education in 2009. It was funded as part of President Barack Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Act following the Great Recession. The grant established a points system in which different states competed to score highest. The better a state performed on these criteria, the more federal money they would receive. States were awarded points for enacting performance-based evaluations for educators, adopting common standards, making progress in their lowest performing schools, and other policies centered around improving education. This grant was created to ensure that states doing the best at bettering the education of their children would be rewarded.

Description
An account of the resource
The Inspiring the Next Space Pioneers, Innovators, Researchers, and Explorers Act (H.R. 321), or INSPIRE Women Act, was introduced by Representative Barbara Comstock of Virginia before passing through Congress and being signed into law in February of 2017. The law is focused on increasing the representation of women in STEM careers. The act compels the NASA director to encourage women and girls to pursue STEM fields in many ways. It created both NASA Girls and NASA Boys, virtual mentorship programs where prospective students are paired with a NASA employee to help guide them through their education. Another new program introduced is Aspire to Inspire which is focused on highlighting the early and recent careers of women in NASA and sharing that information with young girls. Through these programs, and the overall directive, H.R. 321 is designed to bring more women into service in fields that they are drastically underrepresented in.

Description
An account of the resource
The Recognizing Achievement in Classified School Employees Act (H.R. 276) was a piece of legislature, sponsored by Representative Dina Titus of Nevada, that passed through Congress and was signed into law in April of 2019. The bill instructs the Secretary of Education to create an annual Recognizing Inspiring School Employees, or RISE, award to celebrate the service of non-educators in public schools throughout the country. This award is presented to a multitude of specialties within educational institutions including clerical, nutrition, transportation, and custodial fields. Commendation of public education is largely, and understandably, focused on teachers. This bill aimed to hold up those in education that serve the students in other ways. Each employee in public education has a role in the growth and success of the next generation and the RISE award seeks to highlight those that are often overlooked.

An account of the resource
Forestry laws govern activities in designated forest lands, most commonly with respect to forest management and timber harvesting. Ancillary laws may regulate forest land acquisition and prescribed burn practices. Forest management laws generally adopt management policies, such as multiple use and sustained yield, by which public forest resources are to be managed. Governmental agencies are generally responsible for planning and implementing forestry laws on public forest lands, and may be involved in forest inventory, planning, and conservation, and oversight of timber sales. Broader initiatives may seek to slow or reverse deforestation.

Waste management laws govern the transport, treatment, storage, and disposal of all manner of waste, including municipal solid waste, hazardous waste, and nuclear waste, among many other types. Waste laws are generally designed to minimize or eliminate the uncontrolled dispersal of waste materials into the environment in a manner that may cause ecological or biological harm, and include laws designed to reduce the generation of waste and promote or mandate waste recycling. Regulatory efforts include identifying and categorizing waste types and mandating transport, treatment, storage, and disposal practices.

Description
An account of the resource
Environmental cleanup laws govern the removal of pollution or contaminants from environmental media such as soil, sediment, surface water, or ground water. Unlike pollution control laws, cleanup laws are designed to respond after-the-fact to environmental contamination, and consequently must often define not only the necessary response actions, but also the parties who may be responsible for undertaking (or paying for) such actions. Regulatory requirements may include rules for emergency response, liability allocation, site assessment, remedial investigation, feasibility studies, remedial action, post-remedial monitoring, and site reuse.

Description
An account of the resource
An early "Back-to-Nature" movement, which anticipated the romantic ideal of modern environmentalism, was advocated by intellectuals such as John Ruskin, William Morris, and Edward Carpenter, who were all against consumerism, pollution and other activities that were harmful to the natural world. The movement was a reaction to the urban conditions of the industrial towns, where sanitation was awful, pollution levels intolerable and housing terribly cramped. Idealists championed the rural life as a mythical Utopia and advocated a return to it. John Ruskin argued that people should return to a small piece of English ground, beautiful, peaceful, and fruitful. We will have no steam engines upon it . . . we will have plenty of flowers and vegetables . . . we will have some music and poetry; the children will learn to dance to it and sing it.

Description
An account of the resource
The origins of the environmental movement lay in the response to increasing levels of smoke pollution in the atmosphere during the Industrial Revolution. The emergence of great factories and the concomitant immense growth in coal consumption gave rise to an unprecedented level of air pollution in industrial centers.
The first large-scale, modern environmental laws came in the form of Britain's Alkali Acts, passed in 1863, to regulate the deleterious air pollution (gaseous hydrochloric acid) given off by the Leblanc process, used to produce soda ash. An Alkali inspector and four sub-inspectors were appointed to curb this pollution.
