MCARS Assessment Process: Step-by-Step Guide

MCARS makes the process simple. Here’s what you can expect:

Step 1: Start the Rating Scale Go to the “Start the Rating Scale” page or click “Start the Rating Scale” on the right column of this page. The form is embedded directly on the site and is hosted by JotForm, which uses strict security protocols to keep information safe.  Step 2: Answer the Questions The counseling assessment is straightforward and can be completed in one sitting. Questions are designed to gather the information needed to understand counseling needs and support requirements.  Step 3: Submit and Review Reports Once the assessment is submitted, a report is generated immediately. Results are organized clearly so you can see patterns, identify needs, and make data-driven decisions.  Step 4: Guidance and Next Steps Reports include recommendations and next steps to help you act on the information, from planning individual student support to designing school-wide strategies.  Step 5: Data Protection All responses are handled securely. JotForm provides platform-level protection, and MCARS follows standard practices so information is only accessible to authorized users.
