I'm always looking for things to do that help me to improve, to be a better teacher, and to be better for my kids. They'll learn from the things that I’ve learned, and it will be more applicable to real world stuff.
Our students, over the past few years since I participated in NITARP, have directly benefited from my being accepted into the program. You are a great asset and I appreciate all that you do!
This experience has forced me to look at something new and has inspired me to enrich and improve my classes.
