檀香山 — 美国教育部向夏威夷教育部 (HIDOE) 授予了一笔为期五年、金额达 $60 万美元的拨款，旨在推动公立学校有效、基于证据的读写能力实践。此前，夏威夷教育部已于 2017 年获得了一笔近 $50 万美元的五年期综合读写能力州发展 (CLSD) 拨款。 2019. 语言艺术能力是教育委员会 2023-29 年计划中的一项关键绩效指标 战略计划.
The purpose of the CLSD grant is to support states in creating comprehensive literacy programs to advance literacy skills, including pre-literacy skills, reading, and writing, for children from birth through grade 12.
根据智能平衡评估 (SBA) 结果，自 2019 年获得 CLSD 资助以来，夏威夷公立学校的英语语言艺术 (ELA) 熟练程度从 2021 年到 2022 年提高了 2 个百分点，自那以后总分一直稳定在 52%。由于 COVID，2020 年没有可用的测试分数。在这项标准化评估中，夏威夷在 ELA 的学术恢复方面领先全国，并与爱达荷州并列 2022-23 学年语言艺术 SBA 熟练程度最高。最近的增长是国家成绩单或国家教育进步评估 (NAEP) 长期、稳定的改善趋势的一部分。 2003 年至 2022 年间，夏威夷学生在 NAEP 上四年级阅读成绩从第 44 位升至第 9 位，八年级阅读成绩从第 50 位升至第 25 位。
