Description

The ParaPro Assessment measures the skills and knowledge in reading, writing and math 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. 

Note: A cancellation fee of $20 will be charged for any canceled registration. Any cancellations made within 48 hours of test date will not receive a refund. Please note that you can transfer to a new test date by contacting Kristi (no cancellation fee will be charged for transfers).
