Honoka'a Elementary continues to focus on Common Core Standards Based curriculum, instruction and assessment.
For reading, Honoka`a Elementary has adopted the reading Wonders program which is based on Common Core StandardsFor math, Honoka'a Elementary will be using newly adopted programs; Stepping Stones for grades K-5 and Go Math for grade 6. We will continue to provide differentiation and targeted instruction to support students.
As we continue to refine and improve response to intervention (RTI) we are implementing a new bell schedule that affords articulation time for grade level teams to focus on student needs and achievement. Identified students are provided with additional reading and mathematics instruction using computerized instruction such as Achieve 3000 and IXL. Teachers in grades 3-6 also provide math intervention weekly for children needing extra assistance with math skills.
To better support students the school will implement Advancement Via Individual Determination or AVID. The focus will be to provide students with organizational strategies to succeed across all grade levels and promote college and career readiness. STAR Assessment of all children happen every eight weeks for reading and 10 weeks for math. These assessment scores are used to inform instruction in the classroom and to track student growth in the grade level, and across the complex area.
