Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Strasburger

    I have to tell you what an amazing experience this year has been. The BEST subject-area professional development experience I've had in 25 years BY FAR.

  • Sanchez

    Watching the students present the research we had been working on the last year was absolutely the best part of the experience for me. They made me so proud

  • Kate
