Common Core State Standards (CCSS)
"Today’s students are preparing to enter a world in which colleges and businesses are demanding more than ever before. To ensure all students are ready for success after high school, the Common Core State Standards establish clear, consistent guidelines for what every student should know and be able to do in math and English language arts from kindergarten through 12th grade.
The standards were drafted by experts and teachers from across the country and are designed to ensure students are prepared for today’s entry-level careers, freshman-level college courses, and workforce training programs. The Common Core focuses on developing the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills students will need to be successful. Forty-four states, the District of Columbia, four territories, and the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) have voluntarily adopted and are moving forward with the standards.
The new standards also provide a way for teachers to measure student progress throughout the school year and ensure that students are on the pathway to success in their academic careers."
General Learner Outcomes
The Department's General Learner Outcomes (GLOs) are the over-arching goals of standards-based learning for all students in all grade levels.
The school is in the process of ensuring the six General Learner Outcomes (GLOs) become an integral part of the school culture. Tribes Learning Communities process along with our vision and mission share similar attributes and help promote the GLOs. Students are rated in each GLO using the Hawaii Department of Education GLOs rubrics and classroom-based evidence.
For many years, through changes in leadership, assessments and curricula, the General Learner Outcomes have been there. These are the over-arching goals of standards-based learning for all students in all grade levels. Our teachers rely upon rubrics built upon these to inform their assessment of students — going beyond academic achievement to ensure students become engaged, lifelong learners.
