Four Subjects, One System

Pro-Core stands out from other vendors by providing a focused assessment system specifically designed for, and completely aligned to Ohio’s Learning Standards. Other systems are built on old “re-packaged” testing models designed for a national audience.

  • Social studies, science, reading, mathematics (2–12)
  • Diagnostic pre-tests, interim tests, and end-of-course post-tests
  • Formative standard-based and domain-based assessments during the year
  • The ability to customize our system to meet your curriculum focus
  • Reports that monitor student progress and gather data for Ohio’s One Plan Needs Assessment

Pro-Core will personally assist your teachers in preparing students most effectively for Ohio and local assessments this school year.

Pro-Core provides:

  • Diagnostic pre-tests on individual learning standards in social studies, science, reading, and mathematics (Form A).
  • Learning standards-based student and teacher-class grouping reports.
  • Follow-up (short-cycle) and interim (Form B) assessments on individual learning standards.
  • End-of-course post-tests in social studies, science, ELA/reading and math (Form C).
  • Student growth, and teacher effectiveness reports that require no LEA input or computations.
  • Easy-to-understand reports using non-technical data (e.g., simple test % scores) and commonly used Ohio proficiency terminology.

Pro-Core teachers have full control of presenting individual learning standards, assessments, and related activities. This allows teachers to provide truly individualized and/or differentiated instruction.

The Pro-Core Difference

Pro-Core is approved by the Ohio Department of Education as a High Quality Student Data (HQSD) system that can be used with OTES 2.0. While ODE approval requires a 50% alignment with Ohio’s Learning Standards, independent educators have deemed that all Pro-Core tests are 98–100% aligned with ODE Standards.
