Hawaii's career standard, criterion by criterion: 4 of 10 matched, 6 not claimed.

Hawaii does not compel a universal middle-grades career plan. The CCCR Expectations Guide itself is a self-described voluntary "resource tool" — no statute or Board of Education policy requires its use. Hawaii's one real, codified mandate in this space is the Personal/Transition Plan (PTP), now under Board of Education Policy 102-15: a 0.5-credit graduation requirement that "shall commence with students entering the 9th grade," per the regulation's own text — a high-school-only requirement, not a middle-grades one. A 2012 Hawaii Board of Education committee document itself states, under a "Where Do We Want To Be?" heading, the goal to "build career awareness and planning into the middle school curriculum, with future extension into elementary schools" — a primary-source admission that a structured middle-school career-awareness standard did not exist as of 2012, and no later document was found establishing that this goal was subsequently codified.

College, Career & Community Readiness (CCCR) Expectations Guide — Grade 8 tier, published by Hawaiʻi P-20 Partnerships for Education (a University of Hawaiʻi System unit, run jointly with the Hawaiʻi State Department of Education and the Executive Office on Early Learning), grades Grade 8 (the guide's earliest tier; grades 6 and 7 do not appear anywhere in it). No Hawaii document is simultaneously a state mandate, specific to grades 6-8, and a list of citable numbered criteria. Two real candidates exist: this CCCR Expectations Guide (real, coded, but Grade 8 only and a voluntary UH-Hawaiʻi P-20 resource, not a Board of Education standard) and the Personal/Transition Plan (PTP) mandate (a real, codified Board of Education graduation requirement, but grades 9-12 only). This page crosswalks the CCCR guide because it is the only one with grade-8-level, individually coded content; the PTP mandate is disclosed in full below rather than omitted, since it is Hawaii's only actual codified career-plan requirement. A searchable/filterable list of individual "Benchmarks" (short outcome statements), each tagged with a Focus Area ("College Readiness" or "Career Readiness"), a Grade Level, and one or more Competency codes (A1-A3 for College Readiness, B1-B3 for Career Readiness, applied identically across grade tiers 8 through 13). The Grade 8 tier has 10 benchmarks total, reproduced here in full — none omitted or sampled.

It means the platform itself produces the artefact the criterion asks for, with nothing a teacher has to add. 2 criteria of the 10 are closed this way: B1, B2 (Interests & Skills) and B2 (Investigate Options). Each of those rows names the surface and the artefact, and several carry a coverage caveat — how many careers actually hold the field being claimed — because a reviewer will check.

It means the platform supplies the data or the assessment result and a teacher runs the classroom half — it is weaker, and it is labelled separately for that reason. 2 criteria are closed this way: B1, B2 (Financial Literacy) and B3 (Employability Skills). A plan a system wrote for the student would not satisfy the standard, and claiming it would not be worth much either.

Because the 2 and the 2 are different kinds of evidence — one is work the software does on its own, the other is work a teacher does with something the software supplies — and merging them into one headline number would flatter the platform at your expense. Every row states which of the two it is, and the counts are shown as separate pills rather than added together.

We make no claim on them. No JobCannon surface — assessment, career-page field or glossary entry — addresses them, and they are listed exactly as plainly as the 4 we do claim: same row format, same visual weight, a stated "not claimed" rather than an absence.

The A1-A3 / B1-B3 codes are Hawaiʻi P-20's own, printed next to each benchmark on the live page. Two benchmarks reuse the same competency-code combination as another benchmark in the same tier (a real anomaly in the source, not an authoring choice); this page disambiguates those with a short parenthetical, e.g. "A2 (Math/English Courses)" vs. "A2 (FAFSA)" — the source itself prints both simply as "A2."

No explicit "adopted" or "last revised" date is printed anywhere on the page; the footer shows only a live, auto-updating copyright year. Treat this as an undated, continuously-hosted web resource. The document itself is linked at the top of the table, so you can check any row against the source rather than take our word for it.
