Ohio’s Learning Standards

Below you will find links to the Ohio Department of Education’s Learning Standards. The link for the Model Curriculum for each subject can be found on this page as well.

OELPA

The Ohio English Language Proficiency Assessment (OELPA) is the state test used to determine an English learner’s proficiency level. The OELPA is aligned to Ohio’s Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade English Language Proficiency Standards. It is used to meet the federal requirement of an annual assessment of English proficiency, measuring listening, speaking, reading, and writing.

The OELPA is required for all English learners. The results help track a student’s progress towards grade-level English proficiency.

STAR Math/Reading

STAR Reading and STAR Math are standardized, computer-adaptive assessments by Renaissance Learning, Inc. Students are tested at the beginning, middle, and end of each school year to monitor progress in reading and math. Results indicate learning and grade levels for each student. Teachers are able to monitor a student’s ability regarding which learning standards they have achieved and which they need to practice and master.

NWEA MAP

A series of adaptive, computer-based tests used by K-12 schools to measure student achievement and growth in Reading, Language Usage, Math, and Science, providing teachers with immediate, actionable data to personalize instruction and track learning progress over time, unlike traditional tests. The “adaptive” nature means questions get harder or easier based on a student’s answers, pinpointing their precise skill level and needs.
