Pro-Core Strategies
Pro-Core is both an assessment and instructional support system. When teachers use diagnostic reports at the start of the year to establish individual and class goals—and reinforce instruction with Short Cycle Web Activities (SCWA)—students make measurable progress toward those goals.
Effective use of Pro-Core enables teachers to better understand student performance, plan and adjust instruction, and evaluate learning outcomes. Pro-Core activities are 98.9% aligned with State of Ohio academic content standards. Item analysis activities help students examine their responses and develop greater awareness of their own learning processes. Pro-Core reports provide formative assessment data for students and parents, supporting instructional planning and continuous improvement. Summative end-of-course assessments measure overall achievement and goal attainment.
Meeting State Standards for the Teaching Profession
Teachers use high-quality student data (HQSD) generated by Pro-Core to enhance instructional practice by:
- Analyzing assessment data as part of an ongoing cycle of support for student learning
- Identifying individual and class-wide strengths and areas for improvement
- Adapting instruction to address diverse learning needs
- Monitoring student achievement, growth, and progress toward state and local standards
Using Pre-Test Diagnostic Results
At the beginning of the school year, teachers administer the Pro-Core “Form A” diagnostic pre-test, which includes questions aligned to each learning standard for a given subject and grade level. Analysis of diagnostic reports enables teachers to plan targeted instruction and group students effectively based on demonstrated strengths and needs.
