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.

Project Stealth涉及十三位毕业生和十二名高级本科研究员，十二位中学和数学教师（来自俄克拉荷马城和Del City的两所高中和两所中学），以及七个OU教职员工（来自土木工程和环境科学学院，工业工程学院，教育领导力和政策研究系以及俄克拉荷马州卓越教育的网络），他们将在团队中开发，设计，实施和评估真实学习，基于询问的中学科学和数学学生的活动。这些活动将纳入课程，示范，实验室演习，个人和小组项目以及现场经验中，以：1）强调真实和基于社区的经验； 2）鼓励创造性的解决问题的技能； 3）对终身学习产生兴趣； 4）为二级学生做好高级教育的准备。活动主题将集中于环境科学和工程，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资源而设计，以适应教师和学生的需求。研究员将准备通过新的课程来创建和实施这些活动：1）与真实学习一致的教育理论，概念和评估； 2）基于中学科学和数学课程的基于探究的活动的设计，实施和评估； 3）适当的中学学生以及地方，州和国家课程标准的适当教学实践和方法。该计划对研究员的教学技巧的有效性及其对中学科学和数学教育的影响将进行定量评估，并用于不断改善该计划。
