  Adjunct instructor and education consultant Helena Fagan of the University of Alaska Southeast brings three decades of wide-ranging experience to her job as a statewide trainer in project-based learning. Since her first position as a middle school teacher in Ketchikan nearly 30 years ago, she has taught in the rural Oregon community of Farmington View; the village hub of Bethel on the Kuskokwim River Delta; and in Southeast Alaska's Juneau Borough schools, where her expertise in the project approach crystallized. She has drawn on her endorsements in reading, special education, and gifted education throughout a career that has included work with the educational nonprofit South East Regional Resource Center and the Massachusetts-based school reform organization Co-nect.

  • That's a misconception about project-based learning, especially by people who jump in and do it without understanding how to build those skills. Part of the project design is making sure you've scaffolded the skills they need. I use the "backward design" work of Grant Wiggins (as presented in the book Understanding by Design, which he coauthored with Jay McTighe). You start at the end with your standards and assessments: What is it they need to know? What is it going to look like when they have that knowledge and understanding? What skills and knowledge do they need before they can do the final assessment? Then you build those targets into your plan and your curriculum. If you don't, you're not going to get good project work or reach your goals with the majority of kids. You've got to lead them. You've got to facilitate. You don't give up your role as teacher.
