By far, the most interesting part of my entire NITARP experience is the scientific method applied to the discovery process.
Having scientists explain their research and bringing it down to my level was very interesting and I learned so much!
Mentoring adults in these capacities [as a NITARP mentor educator] improves my ability to act more as a mentor to my classroom students, allowing them to become more self-sufficient learners. I feel this has improved my ability to mentor my colleagues as well.
