General Information
System that provides longitudinal tracking of key student performance data.
VCAT
The Vermont Comprehensive Assessment Tool (VCAT) is a powerful web-based system which enables teachers and administrators to plan, administer, and assess student learning based specifically on a district’s curriculum, the Vermont Standards, and the new Common Core Standards. This easy to use and intuitive suite offers the tools necessary to support and enhance data-driven decision making.
- VCAT allows you to collect data, compare data side-by-side, and analyze the data to help you make informed educational decision.
• Teachers assess students using your rubrics. Results are stored directly in your database, and remain from year to year.
• Incorporates data from SBAC, DRA, Fountas & Pinnell, PNOA, and other standardized tests.
• Allows you to keep track of student demographic data like Gender, IEP, Race, and SES, and any other ones that may be relevant to you.
• Performance reports are available directly from the system, and can be run across multiple years.
• All Vermont Standards, Common Core Standards, National Core Art Standards, National Standards for Foreign Language Education, and Next Generation Science Standards are included in the system, and soon the SHAPE Physical Education Standards will be added to the list as well.
