Educación de adultos

El Educación de adultos Program provides a wide range of courses designed for adult learners. These include basic education, English literacy and civics. Adultos can also earn important diplomas, such as the Hawai‘i Adulto Community School Diploma, either through General Educaciónal Development (GED) and the High School Equivalency Test (HiSET) exams, and the Workforce Development Diploma (WDD). Additionally, the adult schools manage the Department’s substitute teacher training course. These courses are run out of the Department’s 10 Community Schools for Adultos (CSAs) sites. Please contact the school nearest you (see below) for information.

Programas de Diploma

HIDOE’s Community Schools for Adultos are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The goal of the GED and HiSET programs is to ensure that graduates who earn a High School Equivalency Credential and/or Hawai‘i Adulto Community School Diploma are career ready and prepared for post-secondary education. Both are aligned to national Common Core State Standards and College and Career Readiness Standards.

General Educaciónal Development 

The GED test provides a valid means of measuring the educational achievement of adults who have not graduated high school, and of comparing their academic competence with that of high school graduates. The GED test battery consists of five tests: writing skills, social studies, science, interpreting literature and the arts, and mathematics. Individuals who successfully complete the test battery will receive an official GED transcript and may qualify for the Hawai‘i Adulto Community School Diploma. The diploma may provide graduates the opportunity to enter the military service, gain college admission, increase income, increase job qualifications or assist in obtaining work advancement.​

Prueba de equivalencia de escuela secundaria 

The purpose of the HiSET is to certify a candidate’s attainment of academic knowledge and skills equivalent to those of a high school graduate. HiSET scores will identify those candidates who have performed at a level consistent with high school equivalency. Individuals who successfully complete the test battery will receive an official HiSET transcript and may qualify for the Hawai‘i Adulto Community School Diploma. The diploma may provide graduates the opportunity to enter the military service, gain college admission, increase income, increase job qualifications or assist in obtaining work advancement.

Programa de Certificado de Desarrollo de la Fuerza Laboral (WDC)

En colaboración con el Consejo de Desarrollo de la Fuerza Laboral, el Departamento de Trabajo y Relaciones Industriales del estado y la División de Rehabilitación Vocacional, los empleadores y los colegios comunitarios, se inició el Programa de Certificado de Desarrollo de la Fuerza Laboral.

The Workforce Development Certificate (WDC) Program was designed to meet the needs of those students entering the workforce with job entry that do not require a high school certificate. The WDC Program will prepare students with the necessary basic education and access to job training programs. To be eligible, a student must be 18 years and older, or 16- to 17-year-old students who are released from school through the 4140 process. All enrolled students who complete the requirements of the program will earn a Workforce Development Certificate from their respective community school.

Adulto and Community Educación Advisory Council (ACEAC)

The Hawai‘i State Legislature established the Hawai‘i Educación de adultos Act of 1945, legally mandating responsibility to the HIDOE for providing increased educational opportunities for the people of Hawai‘i. In 1988, the legislature broadened the scope of adult education to include community education.

Parte 1 El Capítulo 302A de los Estatutos Revisados de Hawái establece:

[§302A-432] Adulto and community education authorized. To provide increased opportunity for the people of Hawai‘i, the department shall establish and regulate a program of adult and community education of less than college grade. The department shall provide public school buildings and other facilities, and use public school equipment under conditions determined by the department, when the equipment is needed, for adult and community education programs. 

State law provides that the Board of Educación will be advised on its adult and community education programs by a volunteer advisory council appointed by the board. Members accepting appointment to this Council are expected to attend a minimum of four quarterly meetings per year and work with the two Community Schools or on a committee as assigned by the chair of the advisory council. These four meetings will be held during normal working hours, and members are expected to secure whatever approval necessary from their employers to be able to attend these day-long meetings.

El Adulto and Community Educación Advisory Council was established by Section 302A of the Hawai‘i Revised Statutes.

[[§302A-434] Advisory council for adult and community education. The board shall appoint an advisory council for adult and community education composed of 15 or more representatives of industry, labor, civic organizations, and education. Appointments shall be for a term of two years with reappointments optional but not to exceed a total of six years on the advisory council. 

Content Standards for Educación de adultos

El Departamento utiliza el College and Career Readiness Standards for Educación de adultos, which are a manageable set of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) most indispensable for college and career readiness and essential to adult students. In accordance with section 102 of WIOA, the eligible agency aligns content standards for adult education with state-adopted challenging academic content standards, as adopted under section 1111(b)(1) of the Elementary and Secondary Educación Act of 1965 (Título 20 del Código de los Estados Unidos 6311(b)(1)).

In 2010, the Hawaii Board of Educación adopted the CCSS for English Language Arts and Mathematics for the Hawaii public school system. The English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards for Educación de adultos (AE) are intended to address the urgent need for educational equity, access and rigor for adult English language learners. The standards are essential to ensuring that adult English learners receive the focused and effective instruction they need to access states’ academic content standards.
