Standards-Based Education for Hawai‘i Schools

Pacific Worlds > Education > Standards-Based Education

The Pacific Worlds project has been developed to serve the content and performance standards for K-12 schools outlined by the State of Hawai‘i Department of Education. Because of its cross-disciplinary and holistic approach to people and place, the project addresses Standards from a number of categories, including the Social Sciences, World Languages, and Science.
