What educators are saying

“What I’ve thoroughly loved about NMSI is the professional development I receive. I’ve learned how to scaffold, how to differentiate, how to teach the skills necessary for my students to find success.”
Denise King, English teacher 
Maynard H. Jackson High School, GA
"It has just changed my life. It has changed my way of teaching. It's changed my understanding, it's changed how I teach math, it's just, I can't express how grateful I am to NMSI because it really put me on a different level."
 
Mary Beth Lawhorn, Calculus teacher
Desert High School, CA
 
“It has definitely provided the basis to be able to teach Calculus to my earlier students. Mathematics is a ladder, and I see the ladder much better with NMSI."
Mosum Trivedi, Calculus teacher
