Ms. Albin is part of the NITARP 2025 class.
I'm also here with other educators, rubbing shoulders with them, seeing how they teach things, how they frame things, like what their mindset is. I keep opening my syllabus for the fall and adding things to it based on whatever we talked about here.
The research is a big part of it, but watching how someone else teaches this high level information is really useful for my own teaching.
It's really fun to do this project, not just by myself, but with a student.
[My favorite part of NITARP is] Getting a chance to participate in cutting edge research. As an educator you don't always get those opportunities, since you're always focused on teaching, teaching, teaching, so it’s exciting to see the science that's happening in the present moment.
