MCARS Assessment Terms of Use

Purpose of MCARS

MCARS is an assessment tool designed to provide vital educator support for schools. This tool is offered free of charge to aid in decision-making while ensuring student privacy.

Your responsibility

Educators and schools are responsible for how they use the assessment tool's MCARS results. While this tool is designed to provide guidance for educator support, final decisions regarding student support and ensuring student privacy remain with the school or district.

Use of Data

Personally identifiable information is not required to complete the MCARS assessment tool. Only general demographic information is entered, ensuring student privacy. MCARS protects student information and does not share data with third parties. However, deidentified data is utilized to enhance educator support and update the norms of the MCARS.

No Guarantees

While MCARS serves as an assessment tool grounded in research and designed for accuracy, we cannot guarantee that results will address every situation. The information provided should not replace professional judgment, especially when it comes to educator support and ensuring student privacy.

Liability

MCARS and its creators are not liable for any decisions, actions, or outcomes based on the use of the assessment tool, which is designed to provide educator support while ensuring student privacy.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as needed, especially as we enhance our assessment tool and improve educator support. Any updates regarding student privacy will be posted on this page.
