The ParaPro Assessment measures the skills and knowledge in reading, writing and math skills possessed by prospective and practicing paraprofessionals. It also measures their ability to apply those skills and knowledge when assisting in classroom instruction. The test has 90 multiple-choice questions, approximately two-thirds of which focus on basic skills and knowledge. The remaining one-third focus on applying skills in the classroom. All test questions are in English and delivered on computer.

The NWESD offers testing days each month. All test times are from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Please note that space is limited to eight participants. Participants must pre-register to obtain a spot - no registrations will be accepted on-site the day of testing.

COVID Notice: Space is limited to 4 seats per test day. A registration passcode is required. Contact the facilitator at 360-299-4011 or kgunerius@nwesd.org for code.
