The goal of the project would be for evaluation to "become a vital tool for high quality and sustained STEM learning and improvement in Indian Country." That is, the project will provide a model for the design and evaluation of culturally responsive educational interventions. The proposer explains "... as American Indian communities develop and implement new strategies for improving the educational attainment of their youth that draw from traditional values and culture, an equally compelling need exist to establish new evaluation processes that are robust enough to accommodate and value different "ways of knowing", build ownership and a sense of community within groups of Indian educators; and efficiently contribute to the development of high quality and sustainable STEM education programs. These goals would be accomplished through the development of four specific products, all stemming from the (1) development of an indigenous framework for the evaluation of STEM education. Related products include (2) the development of the American Indian STEM Evaluation Resource Center, which will provide technical assistance and support resources to tribal college staff and faculty and administrators and teachers in K-12 tribal schools; development of an Evaluation Institute to include (3) a four-day regional evaluation seminar for Indian educators and (4) a graduate level evaluation practicum on-line for graduate credit. The PI also plans to work with the University of Michigan to develop an on-line portal to support distance learning and collaborative work. The project portal will be designed to facilitate the delivery of training and other support services, to disseminate resource materials, to establish a forum for an on-going dialogue re: evaluation theory practice and standards and to provide access to related websites.

该项目的目标是评估“成为印度国家高质量和持续的STEM学习和改善的重要工具”。也就是说，该项目将为文化响应式教育干预措施的设计和评估提供模型。提议者解释说：“ ...随着美洲印第安人社区的制定并实施新的策略，以改善从传统价值观和文化中借鉴的年轻人的教育成就，因此存在同样迫切的需求，以建立新的评估过程，足以适应和价值不同的“认识方式”，以不同的方式来适应“认识”，建立所有权，并在印度教育方面建立一个社区的范围，从而有效地开发了型号，并能够开发高质量的发展，并能够促进这些型号的开发；在这些范围内，可以为这些发展而发展，并能够促进这些发展的范围，并能够促进这些型号的开发；这些发展;所有源于（1）用于评估STEM教育的土著框架包括（2）美国印第安人STEM评估中心的发展，该中心将为部落大学工作人员，教职员工以及K-11研究生学分。 PI还计划与密歇根大学合作，开发一个在线门户网站，以支持远程学习和协作工作。该项目门户将旨在促进提供培训和其他支持服务，传播资源材料，建立一个正在进行的对话的论坛RE：评估理论实践和标准，并提供相关网站的访问权限。
