...organization? Today, not many Early College students are aware of the Phi Theta Kappa organization being offered at Waipahu High School. Phi Theta Kappa is a college honor society that is also offered to early college students at Waipahu High School. Students are participating in Early College courses, however, are not choosing to be involved in the Phi Theta Kappa organization. Because of this issue, it is important to raise awareness of the availability of honor programs, so students would be motivated by their high achieving peers to join, which would lead them to achieving a higher level of academic excellence. The goal of this research project is to increase awareness of the value of PTK membership of which would involve new members in service, fellowship, and leadership opportunities that assist in fostering growth mindset, delayed gratification, and grittiness. To start off, according to Dr. Silliman, the early college coordinator and PTK advisor, only 23% of most of Waipahu High School’s graduates finish their two year college degree in four years or their four year degree in five years. The reality of it is that most students are not motivated to achieve academic excellence and are poorly challenged. In a study performed by Duckworth, Peterson, Matthews, and Kelly, “Grit: Perseverance and Passion for Long-Term Goals,” studies show that “grit accounted for significant incremental variance in success outcomes over and beyond that explained by IQ” (1098). In “Grit: Perseverance...

...was thusly challenged. The data supported a similar finding by the Higher Education Research Institute whose 2005 study indicated race, gender and type of learning institution were all contributing factors for degree attainment (Astin & Oseguera, 2005). Evaluating collective data, it appears multiple factors must be assessed to determine graduation attainment for students in higher learning institutes. Evaluating a singular factor for degree attainment offers a controlled viewpoint for a pervasive issue. Tellez, K. (2011).

...of subjects by students aged 14–16 in secondary education in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and is equivalent to a Level 2 (A*- C) and Level 1 (D- G) in Key Skills. (In Scotland, the equivalent is the Standard Grade.) Some students may decide to take one or more GCSEs before or afterwards; people may apply for GCSEs at any point either internally through an institution or externally. The education systems of other British territories, such as Gibraltar,[1] and the former British dominion of South Africa, also use the qualifications, as supplied by the same examination boards. The International version of the GCSE is the IGCSE, which can be taken anywhere in the world, and which includes additional options, for example relating to coursework and the language used. When GCSEs are taken by students in secondary education, they can often be combined with other qualifications, such as the Business And Technology Education Council (BTEC), the Diploma in Digital Applications (DiDA), or diplomas. Education to GCSE level is often required of students who study for the International Baccalaureate or to GCE Advanced Level (A-level). GCSE exams were introduced as the compulsory school-leavers' examinations in the late 1980s (the first exams being taken in the summer of 1988) by the Conservative Party government, replacing the Certificate of Secondary Education (CSE) and GCE Ordinary Level (O-Level) examinations.
