NITARP has been the best experience I have ever had for my personal and professional development as an astronomy educator.
The "new" astronomy has become something we all knew was coming: handling huge chunks of data and learning how to mine this information from sets so large that it is simply mind boggling. The interesting thing is that many people are not aware of this, notably teachers in the trenches.
For me, [this project] was a real partnership between scientists and educators. All questions and suggestion were taken seriously and with respect.
