Facts About Sesame Street
Posted on June 15, 2010
Since 1969, Sesame Street has aired 4,212 episodes and is America’s longest running children’s television program. Each season had its own curriculum focus, and producers worked with teachers, scientists, psychologists, and doctors in order to tailor the show around the latest research. One method that Sesame Street used in order to determine if a show would air or not, was their “distracter technique”: children watched Sesame Street while there was a slideshow playing beside it, and if the kids were focused on the show 80-90% of the time, then the show would air. It is easy to see that Sesame Street helps build a foundation for skills to become future professionals and watching this program probably motivated many children to have the desire to become doctors or in fields alike; pediatricians, nursing, even medical billing and coding. Although not the star player in the medical field, Medical billing and coding specialists are very much needed in support of their pediatricians and doctors. Very much behind the scenes and many a times not the ones to attend to their patients, the importance of this position cannot be stressed enough.
