Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Donelson

    [about some of the students from the 2012 class] They knew their stuff and fielded questions well. Most of all, you could tell they had grown as students and were passionate about their topics and what they had found. To me, that was awesome. I hope my students will show the same poise...

  • Kate

    Being there with my students was the most amazingly cool experience. I saw my two guys explode in their willingness to ask questions and express an opinion.

  • Palmer

    NITARP is the most intense and satisfying professional development programs I have participated in.
