Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Decosgter

    ...students, given an interesting task, could stay on task for hours at a time.

  • Urbanowski

    NITARP totally changed the way I teach, and I am grateful. Spreadsheets and data infuse my lessons. I assign kids to create spreadsheets to demonstrate that they really know how to, for example, apply trig to a problem, and then use those spreadsheets to use their solution to answer a question.

  • Robert

    You and this program (NITARP) have been truly remarkable and has already changed my life forever. I'm just waiting to see what happens next.
