Our Participants Talk About NITARP

  • Curtis

    I think that more than anything else, hearing these kids talk about their work really convinced me how valuable this experience is for students.

  • 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.
