From student information to meaningful action.
Every school has a mascot. Every student deserves to be known. MASCOT gives schools a practical way to think about the systems that make knowing—and responding to—students possible.
Monitor
Notice meaningful student signals. Build routines that help adults see changes in performance, attendance, behavior, engagement, and other indicators before concerns become crises.
Acknowledge
Recognize success, growth, and positive behavior. Knowing students means noticing what is going right—not merely documenting problems.
Support
Respond early when students need help. Turn a signal into an appropriate action, intervention, conversation, or support.
Connect
Bring together students, educators, families, and support staff. Make communication and ownership part of the system rather than dependent on chance.
Observe
Identify patterns rather than reacting only to individual events. Look across time, settings, and signals to understand the larger story.
Track
Document actions, outcomes, and follow-through. Make it clear what was tried, who owns the next step, and whether the support worked.
Data is only useful when it changes what we do.
MASCOT is not another data-collection initiative. It is a decision and follow-through framework. It can guide school improvement, student-support structures, professional learning, and technology design.
Bring MASCOT to your school.
WEG can use the framework to help leadership teams examine current systems, identify gaps, and build practical next steps.
