Honolulu District and Curriculum
Honolulu Public Schools are not only committed to preparing students for stellar performances in post-secondary education; they are also committed to producing well-rounded individuals with the self-assurance to succeed in life. To this end, public schools in Honolulu are working with the Hawaii State Department of Education (DOE) to phase in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), a set of standards that focus on aligning learning outcomes for Mathematics and English Language Arts.
We currently cover the following Honolulu-area school district: Hawaii Public Schools.
Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Honolulu District Curriculum
Math under the CCSS is about more than learning how to work mathematical problems. Students are encouraged to understand the mathematical principles behind equations — to understand that math is logical and follows reason. By getting students involved in the why of math, not just the how, educators hope to inspire students’ interest in math and help them view it as a useful tool for life. Students graduating in 2016 or later must complete three credits of math, including one credit each of Algebra and Geometry.
The CCSS outlines stringent goals for English Language Arts, a subject which also fosters literacy in other traditional subjects, including Social Studies and Technical Subjects. Core topics encouraged by the program include academic language, citing evidence, analysis of source material, writing substantive claims, and working collaboratively. Graduates in 2016 or later must complete four credits in English, with two in English Language Arts and one-half in Expository Writing.

Chalk Talk: Simple Tips to Improve Test-Taking Skills
Tests can be daunting, but a few simple strategies can take some stress out of the process and perhaps lead to higher scores. Proper preparation begins before the test; students are advised to study in small to medium chunks of time over the weeks leading to the test, instead of “cramming,” or trying to learn everything the night before. On test day, test takers should read all directions carefully, pay attention to time limits, and look over the entire test once before starting in order to get a general idea of what is expected of them. Students can also ask whether wrong answers are penalized. If not, test takers are encouraged to guess when they are unsure of the correct answer. By practicing these simple tips, test stress can become a thing of the past.
