CompSAT is a set of integrated, interactive, multimedia tools for early childhood educators that will take them through a guided, self-paced process of reflection and authentic assessment of their professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions. It is the companion guide to the ECE Competencies that makes the size, scope, and complexity of the Competencies manageable and useful to practitioners. It includes specific tools to assist practitioners in learning, practicing, examining, and mastering strategies to improve practice.

CompSAT assists in gauging knowledge and skills in any particular competency area at any point along one's career path. It provides guidance in documenting professional experiences and growth, and formulating action plans for continued professional development. It also helps to determine what practitioners need to know and should be able to do to progress to higher levels of competence.
