SMET graduate students at West Virginia University are providing content and instructional support to middle school teachers through a project involving West Virginia University Colleges of Arts & Sciences, Engineering & Mineral Resources, and Human Resources & Education. As a part of TIGERS (Teams of Interdisciplinary Graduate- Fellows Engaged to Reinvigorate Students about SMET), three teams of four graduate students are formed around interdisciplinary themes that are a part of normal instruction in middle school science under Project CATS (Coordinated and Thematic Science). TIGERS fellows and 12 middle school teachers work together during the summer to pool their strengths of content and pedagogy in organizing thematic mathematics and science instruction to be implemented in the fall. TIGERS fellows share the insights gained from their research, while teachers share an appreciation for the middle school learner and school context. During the academic year, the teams of TIGER fellows visit the participating schools, facilitating science and mathematics instruction through hands-on learning experiences, long-term investigations, and field experiences. Upon completion of their experience, TIGERS fellows have an enhanced capacity to integrate their content experience with pedagogy as they become the professoriate and professionals of tomorrow.

西弗吉尼亚大学的SMET研究生通过一个涉及西弗吉尼亚大学文理学院、工程矿产资源学院和人力资源教育学院的项目，为中学教师提供内容和教学支持。 作为TIGERS（Teams of Interdisciplinary Graduate- Fellows）的一部分，在CATS（Coordinated and Thematic Science）项目下，围绕作为中学科学常规教学一部分的跨学科主题，组成了三个由四名研究生组成的团队。老虎研究员和12名中学教师在夏季共同努力，汇集他们在组织秋季实施的主题数学和科学教学的内容和教学法的优势。TIGERS研究员分享他们从研究中获得的见解，而教师则分享对中学学习者和学校环境的赞赏。在学年期间，TIGER研究员团队访问参与学校，通过实践学习经验，长期调查和实地经验促进科学和数学教学。在完成他们的经验，老虎研究员有一个增强的能力，将他们的内容经验与教学法相结合，因为他们成为未来的教授和专业人士。
