Project STEALTH involves thirteen graduate and twelve advanced undergraduate Fellows, twelve secondary science and mathematics teachers (from two high schools and two middle schools located in Oklahoma City and Del City), and seven OU faculty (from the School of Civil Engineering and Environmental Science, School of Industrial Engineering, Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, and the Oklahoma Networks for Excellence in Education), who will work in teams developing, designing, implementing, and assessing authentic learning, inquiry-based activities for secondary science and mathematics students. These activities will be incorporated into lessons, demonstrations, laboratory exercises, individual and group projects, and field experiences in order to: 1) emphasize authentic and community-based experiences; 2)encourage creative problem-solving skills; 3) develop interest in life-long learning; and 4) prepare secondary students for advanced education. Activity themes will focus on environmental science and engineering, new materials and their use, and civil infrastructures. Activities will be designed to fit the teachers and students' needs based on curriculum requirements, course content, students' abilities and interests, and available resources. Fellows will be prepared to create and implement these activities through a new course presenting: 1) educational theory, concepts, and assessment congruent with authentic learning; 2) the design, implementation, and assessment of hands-on, inquiry-based activities in secondary science and mathematics curricula; and 3)appropriate teaching practices and methods for secondary students, as well as local, state, and national curricula standards. The program's effectiveness on the Fellows' teaching skills, as well as its effect on secondary science and mathematics education will be quantitatively assessed and used to continually improve the program.

STEALTH项目涉及13名研究生和12名高级本科研究员，12名中学科学和数学教师（来自位于俄克拉荷马州市和德尔城的两所高中和两所中学），以及七名教师（来自土木工程与环境科学学院、工业工程学院、教育领导与政策研究系以及俄克拉荷马州卓越教育网络），谁将在团队开发，设计，实施和评估真实的学习，探究为基础的活动，为中学科学和数学的学生。这些活动将纳入课程、示范、实验室练习、个人和小组项目以及实地经验，以便：1）强调真实和以社区为基础的经验; 2）鼓励创造性的解决问题的技能; 3）培养终身学习的兴趣;以及4）为中学生接受高等教育做好准备。活动主题将集中在环境科学与工程，新材料及其使用，以及民用基础设施。活动将根据课程要求、课程内容、学生的能力和兴趣以及可用的资源来设计，以满足教师和学生的需要。研究员将准备创建和实施这些活动，通过一个新的课程介绍：1）教育理论，概念和评估与真实的学习一致; 2）设计，实施和评估的动手，调查为基础的活动，在中学科学和数学课程; 3）适合中学生的教学实践和方法，以及地方、州和国家课程标准。该计划对研究员教学技能的有效性以及对中学科学和数学教育的影响将进行定量评估，并用于不断改进该计划。
