The state provides 'Model Curricula' and 'Instructional Supports' as optional guides for educators. Implementation emphasizes the 'Nature of Science' in science subjects and 'Historical Thinking' in social studies.
Student progress is measured via Ohio's State Tests (OST) in grades 3-8 for ELA and Math, and in grades 5 and 8 for Science. High school students must complete End-of-Course (EOC) exams in ELA II, Algebra I, Geometry, Biology, American History, and American Government to meet graduation requirements.
