Education Week 6/22/15: Doing Real History in High School: The Wayland High School History Project. Receiving an email from Wayland, Massachusetts History Department Head Kevin Delaney is always a special treat. Every other year or so, Kevin notifies me about the latest installment of the Wayland High School History Project, a series of very deep historical investigations at the intersection of local people and global issues. Students in Kevin’s classes closely research a historical figure from Wayland and his or her connections to the major issues of their time.
