The American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) is establishing a multi-campus team of STEM faculty and academic administrators focused on incorporating culturally- and community-relevant problem-based learning (PBL) into the STEM programs of at least six Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs). The multi-campus project team is building on the transformative work of Navajo Technical College, a TCU that has been highly successful in increasing the number of American Indian students completing STEM degrees, in large part by promoting and encouraging PBL activities campus-wide.Participating TCU faculty are incorporating PBL in at least one STEM course or program and exploring strategies for developing campus-wide PBL opportunities. The collaborating partners are working with AIHEC and expert consultants in PBL to develop and implement a culturally responsive PBL implementation and assessment strategy, building on the Indigenous Evaluation Framework developed by AIHEC for the evaluation of American Indian education programs.The project is building upon a collaborative multi-campus best practices dissemination model developed by AIHEC through a Walmart Foundation-funded project that identified and disseminated empirically-based methodologies for increasing the retention and graduation rates of students at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). This model is being used to disseminate evidence-based best practices in problem-based learning at the undergraduate level. The best practices are based in large part on a TCU-specific and culturally responsive adaptation of the PBL instructional model developed and implemented successfully by Navajo Technical College.The project is expanding the existing TCU community of practice focused on American Indian student retention and completion, helping to sustain an ongoing effort by AIHEC and the TCUs to identify and share best practices in promoting student success at TCUs. By significantly expanding the community of practitioners working with culturally-responsive implementations of problem-based learning and other student-centered learning models, the project is contributing to the knowledge base of culturally responsive implementations of PBL appropriate for American Indian and Native Alaskan STEM education programs.The project is sharing project outcomes and its dissemination model with the larger MSI community through AIHEC's close partnerships with the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), the National Association for Equal opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO), and the Asian Pacific Islander American Association of Colleges and Universities (APIAACU).

美国印第安高等教育联盟（AIHEC）正在建立一个由STEM教师和学术管理人员组成的多校园团队，他们着重于将基于问题的和社区的问题学习（PBL）纳入至少六个部落Colles and Undersities（TCUS）的STEM计划。 Multi-Campus项目团队正在基于Navajo技术学院的变革性工作，这是一家TCU，它在增加完成茎学位的美洲印度学生的数量方面非常成功，这在很大程度上是通过促进和鼓励校园范围内的PBL活动。参与TCU的专家将PBL纳入至少一个STEM课程或计划中，以开发一个STEM或计划和探索campus campus-wemence campus-PBL PBL PBL PBL。 The collaborating partners are working with AIHEC and expert consultants in PBL to develop and implement a culturally responsive PBL implementation and assessment strategy, building on the Indigenous Evaluation Framework developed by AIHEC for the evaluation of American Indian education programs.The project is building upon a collaborative multi-campus best practices dissemination model developed by AIHEC through a Walmart Foundation-funded project that identified and disseminated empirically-based methodologies for increasing the少数民族服务机构（MSI）的学生的保留和毕业率。该模型被用来在本科级别的基于问题的学习中传播基于证据的最佳实践。 The best practices are based in large part on a TCU-specific and culturally responsive adaptation of the PBL instructional model developed and implemented successfully by Navajo Technical College.The project is expanding the existing TCU community of practice focused on American Indian student retention and completion, helping to sustain an ongoing effort by AIHEC and the TCUs to identify and share best practices in promoting student success at TCUs.通过显着扩大从事基于问题的学习和其他以学生为中心的学习模型的文化响应性实施的从业者社区，该项目正在为适合美洲印度和本地阿拉斯加STEM教育计划的PBL的文化响应式实施的知识基础做出贡献。 （HACU），全国高等教育机会均等协会（NAFEO）和亚洲太平洋岛民美国大学和大学协会（Apiaacu）。
