Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Sartore

    Student involvement in authentic research is an idea whose time has come.

  • Senson

    [working at the same level as the students] changes how you approach teaching. Being surrounded by people, whether they're older or younger, who are asking these awesome questions, it’s liberating.

  • Denise

    This [whole NITARP] experience will help me understand how students feel when they are presented with new material and don’t understand. I think this will give me more patience and understanding in this area.
