The Indiana CORE Assessments for Educator Licensure include the Core Academic Skills Assessment, CORE Developmental (Pedagogy) Area Assessments, and CORE Content Area Assessments. A Content Advisory Committee of educators who are subject matter experts will be established for each assessment. Each Content Advisory Committee will review draft test materials which include test frameworks and test items. Content Advisory Committee members may also assist the Indiana Department of Education in other development activities, including setting passing standards for the assessments.
