Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Palmer

    This experience has reinforced to me the importance of learning science by doing science.

  • Debbie

    [This experience] has made me realize that while I use a lot of inquiry, I don’t always involve my students in the process of developing a testable question.

  • Seebode

    [At my first AAS,] I felt like I got to meet a lot of people and learn some cool things, and think about how to best educate people. It feels like a lot of people with a common goal, very connected and leaving was kind of sad, like separation. Other than my group, I did not run into another NITARP teacher after Sunday; I don't think I realized how big this conference was.
