General Learner Outcomes (GLOs)
General Learner Outcomes (GLOs) are the over-arching goals of standards-based learning for all students in
all grade levels. Observable behaviors, which are demonstrated in daily classroom activities, are evidence of
GLOs. Student effort, work habits, and behavior are important and they must be evaluated separately from
academic performance in the content areas (in accordance with Board of Education Policy 4501:
Assessing/Grading Student Performance).
The GLOs is an integral part of the school culture as the GLOs do not exist in isolation. The six GLOs are:
Self-directed Learner (The ability to be responsible for one's own learning)

Community Contributor (The understanding that it is essential for human beings to work together)
Complex Thinker (The ability to demonstrate critical thinking and problem solving)
Quality Producer (The ability to recognize and produce quality performance and quality products)
Effective Communicator (The ability to communicate effectively)
Effective and Ethical User of Technology (The ability to use a variety of technologies effectively
and ethically)

2. Mail the coursework by certified mail to have a record of mailing and to help ensure it will get to Keystone High
School.
Personal Transition Plan

The Board of Education Policy 4540, High School Graduation Requirements and Commencement states that all
students must complete a Personal Transition Plan (PTP) as a requirement toward earning a Hawaii High School
Diploma. The Personal Transition Plan (PTP) is defined as an individually designed and custom tailored plan of action
for each high school student to move successfully from high school to post-secondary and/or career venues. The plan
will have the elements of goal attainment, identification of available resources, evidence to support the plan of action
taken, and a self-evaluation component. The design of the PTP shall take into account that the student, parent, and
school personnel have a shared responsibility in the development and execution of the PTP during high school.
Students at Molokai High School address the personal transition plan requirement through the Molokai Advisory
Program. (MAP) The four year curriculum engages students in personal awareness, developing complex thinking
skills, exploring career options, and preparation in career planning and goal setting. Students will produce a personal
transition plan that will include a five-year plan, a resume, a personal statement, a career portfolio, and analysis of
career assessments.
English Lab and Math Workshop Classes

Students determined to need more assistance in math and reading will be advised to sign up for English Lab and/or
Math Workshop classes. These recommendations will be based on assessment scores indicating that the student is
below proficiency in these areas. If additional data is secured after the student has submitted their registration
material, the student will be placed in a study skills class in lieu of a requested elective. Parents and affected students
will be informed of this adjustment.
Adult Education
Students 16 years of age and presently in school may request to take the GED test. Requests must be made to the
principal. Diplomas received from this program are not part of the regular Department of Education diploma programs.
A Certificate of Completion of an Individually Prescribed Educational Program shall be issued to specifically
identify students with disabilities who complete all the requirements set by the individualized program. This
certificate is not equivalent to a high school diploma and shall not constitute graduation from high school.
Comprehensive Student Support System

The Board of Education (BOE) recognizes the importance of providing effective instruction in a caring and supportive
learning environment. A comprehensive student support system will ensure that all students attain the Hawaii Content
and Performance Standards (HCPS) and the General Learner Outcomes (GLOs), in order to become Public School
10
Graduates prepared for post secondary education and/or careers. Therefore, the Department shall provide a
comprehensive student support system framework to support the implementation, with fidelity, of:
(1) effective standards-based instruction for all students,(2) appropriate student support through an array of
services,(3) involvement of families and community stakeholders as partners in the education process,(4)
management of decision-making driven by on going assessment of student progress, and (5)effective single allstudent database.

DESCRIPTION:
This course provides students a balanced program of reading, writing, oral communication,
literature, and language study. All of the high school content standards and benchmarks for Language Arts are
addressed in this course. Students learn to become strategic users of the language processes by developing
knowledge of specific strategies within these processes and implementing and evaluating the effectiveness of their
choice of strategies. They develop greater precision and refinement of their use of written and spoken language and
can judge the appropriateness of their communication. The study of literature includes both traditional and
contemporary works. Literature selections reflect a rich history of evolving perceptions and ideas expressed by writers
of the past and present. Selections are not restricted to British and American authors, and include the writings of
minorities and other cultures. The study of language involves both the descriptions of language and its role in
communication and shaping thought. As students reflect and understand their own language, they develop an
understanding of what language is, how it works, and its power to influence and shape thinking and behavior.

DURATION: Year
CREDIT: 1
DESCRIPTION: The College Board and MHS are committed to the principle that all students deserve an opportunity
to participate in rigorous and academically challenging courses and programs. All students in the AP English
Language and Composition must be willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous curriculum.
(apcentral.collegeboard.com) This is a university level course. Summer reading and writing are recommended. The
AP Program is based on the course descriptions provided by the College Entrance Exam Board, which also provides
11
AP Exams, administered in May. Seniors registering for this course are expected to take the AP English Exam in May,
which may earn them college credit. AP English Language and Composition aims to develop students awareness in
language, critical reading skills, and effectiveness in writing. It stresses training in reading and analysis of discursive

COURSE TITLE: Advanced Placement in English Literature & Composition ACCN: LAY6100
GRADE LEVEL: 11 DURATION: Year
CREDIT: 1
DESCRIPTION:
The Advanced Placement in English Literature and Composition course at Molokai High
School follows the requirements provided by the College Entrance Examination Board, which also provides the AP
exam. Juniors and seniors registering for this course are expected to take the Advanced Placement in English
Literature and Composition exam in May, which may earn them college credit.
The course includes intensive study of representative works from various genres and periods, concentrating on works
of recognized literary merit. AP English Literature and Composition requires a large amount of careful, deliberative
reading, analysis, discussion, and essay writing. The approach to analyzing and interpreting the material engages
students in learning how to make careful observations of textual detail, establish connections among their
observations, and draw from those connections a series of inferences leading to an interpretive conclusion about a
piece of writings meaning and value.
Since this is a university level course, summer reading and writing are highly recommended if a student wishes to be
prepared for the comprehensive mythology exam scheduled for the second week of the school term. AP students are
strongly advised to pick up books and study guides in the spring, prior to the summer recess, from the instructor.

A number of approaches are possible in reaching the objectives of this course: a survey from Old English to
contemporary works, a selected period or periods, major writers in the tradition,
or a cultural studies approach. Regardless of the approach, an in-depth study of appropriate selected works should
emphasize student discussion, exploration, response, and analysis. Modes of
exploration, response, and invention include oral communication and writing.
RECOMMENDED COURSE PREPARATION: Student must be highly motivated. Summer reading and writing
assignments are required of students. Students are to pick up books and study guides from the instructor prior to their
departure for the summer break.
