Standards Paper 2
Introduction
Creekside Elementary School’s standards are built through time, intellect, and concern
for the students in all grade levels. Creekside standards are a combination of the Virginia
Standards of Learning, Bennett Standards, Hawaii Content and Performance Standards,
standards from the National Council for Teachers of English, National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics, National Science Teachers Association, and the National Council for the Social
Studies. By providing the students with a set curriculum for learning, students will achieve the
most updated knowledge of the core subjects, English, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.
Virginia Standards of Learning
The Virginia Department of Education’s mission is to teach students from Kindergarten
through twelfth grade the tools needed to be positive and active members in their community.
With the help of staff, faculty, parents, and business leaders, students will be given the materials
needed to be successful. The Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools (SOLs) involves
standards in the four core content areas: English, Math, Science and Social Science. The
Standards of Learning also contains Foreign Language, Fine Arts, Health and Physical
Education, and Driver Education.
Bennett
William J. Bennett was born July 31, 1943. He was influential in the conservative
movement. He was Secretary of Education in the Reagan Administration. He later served as
drug czar and has written numerous books. He was also the chairman of the National
Endowment for the Humanities.

Hawaii Content and Performance Standards
The Hawaii State Legislature created HCPS in 1991. The Hawaii Department of
Education makes this statement in The Introduction, Vision, & Goals website: “.…Our standards
set the course, while students, families, and community fill the sails with expectation as we
voyage with the treasure of bright, young minds ready to lead the way to the future”
(http://doe.k12.hi.us/about/intro_vision.htm). The Hawaii standards have evolved three times.
The Hawaii State Legislature created in 1991 was the first and most general of the three. In
2004, through refinement, the Hawaii Content and Performance Standards (HCPS II) were
created. It cared about content areas as well as performance areas. HCPS II focuses both on the
academics and the character qualities in each student. Responsibility, understanding how to
work together, having the ability to think critically, problem solving, making quality products,
communicating effectively, and having the ability to use technology efficiently and ethically is
essential to the Standards-Based Curriculum HCPS II. The downfall to HCPS II; however, is
that though they only had 139 standards, there were 3,960 benchmarks and grade level
performance indicators. Teachers felt that there was still too much to implement in the
classroom. HCPSIII; therefore, the resource used in the standards charts, was made in 2006-07
to use only the essential standards, benchmarks, and performance indicators for teachers to apply
in their classrooms.
National Council for Teachers of English
The National Council for Teachers of English (NCTE) consists of teachers that are
dedicated towards awards, publications, educational issues, policies and all that is included in
Language Arts. Founded in 1911, teachers have been using this organization to gain resources
and knowledge from other professionals in the field. Not only is this council full of knowledge
Standards Paper 4
from colleagues but also contains a large access to a variety of journals, websites, books, credit
cards, and insurance that are offered through NCTE. NCTE is dedicated toward furthering the
education of students, which is why they are dedicated in the professional development of
teachers. Through conventions and online resources, teachers are able to stay on top of today’s
expanding academic world.
National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) is a large organization
consisting of affiliate members, individual, and student memberships. By becoming a member
of NCTM, one earns subscriptions to school journals, exclusive online resources, conferences,
publications, workshops, and access to many resources. NCTM believes that students should be
thoroughly prepared for the career paths that they make; therefore, implementing a set of
standards in which all students, pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade, will accomplish.
National Science Teachers Association
The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) desires “…to promote excellence and
innovation in science teaching and learning for all,” which reflects their guiding principles. They
embrace diversity and promote a proactive attitude of science throughout society. Founded in
1944, it is the largest organization in the world to promoting excellence and innovation in
science teaching and learning.
National Council for the Social Studies
The National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) was founded in 1921 with the vision
to assist educators in conveying the “fields of study” relating to social studies. NCSS broke up
social studies into ten areas including: culture: time, continuity, and change; people, places, and
environments; individual development and identity; individuals, groups, and institutions; power,
Standards Paper 5
authority, and governance; production, distribution, and consumption; science, technology, and
society; global connections; and civic ideals and practices. By applying standards to these core
areas, NCSS is providing key knowledge towards making each student a valuable part of society.
