Mr. Jones is part of the NITARP 2025 class.
There are very few of us that teach astronomy in our county, so I'd really like to improve the astronomy program in the county.
I love having this experience of seeing how astronomers work, and my goal is to then take that and be able to explain it to our students.
Since I teach students how to do research, it would be cool if I was doing research too and show them that I don't know what's going to happen, and I'm doing the same type of stuff that they are doing in research class. I wanted NITARP to help make me a better teacher in research and a better teacher in astronomy.
