I've been involved in many professional development activities and this is by far the best one I've ever done

This team is using Herschel data to look for young stars in L1688.

[from one of Ms. Piper's students, 4 years after NITARP:] I felt like I should tell you about my current trajectory because without you and our work with NITARP, I don't know where I'd be headed right now!
I also really like helping new teachers, let them share what they know fill in gaps, help them feel included and not overwhelmed. I want to do more of this, and need to find ways to direct this more effectively in my school and district.
NITARP has transformed my life and the way I teach, so it's difficult to find anything that has NOT been influenced by this experience!
