This provides a rationale for establishing thecourse as a model based on best practices.Description and explanation of learning objectivesThe central idea of the course is to help graduate students become future professionals.Professional practices are cultivated and sustained either explicitly or implicitly withincommunities of practice16. As such, the notion of legitimate peripheral participation15provides a useful framework for understanding the experiences of graduate students (asfuture professionals) as they enter, navigate, and work in a new field of research.

For STEM education researchers working with tribal communities, it is essential that the curriculum be grounded in tribal culture and values. The community's desire is that their youth be prepared to stand in two worlds: one in one in which tribal values are fully honored and on in which they apply the best practices of western STEM knowledge.ConclusionEngaging tribal communities in education is critical to validate theoretical research, whichrecommends culturally relevant STEM experiences to inspire student

noteworthy is the appearance of a somewhatparabolic trend in the time series data, suggesting that the estimate is most inaccurate for materialpresented both far and immediately before the exam. This observation seems consistent with whatmany instructors observe in practice – namely that students perform best on questions related tomaterial that has been presented in lecture recently, assuming that adequate time has passed toallow for appropriate review and content retention. Unfortunately, this may indicate that theperiodic review functionality of ALEKS under default parameter settings is not sufficient to ensurelong-term content mastery for international students.Another interesting observation is the variation in student midterm performance as a

Thus, interdisciplinary graduate trainingprograms, such as those funded by the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging andBioengineering (NIBIB), sometimes include an internship or externship component as a way toensure breadth in the educational program.
