Assessment & Rating Success Program
Navigate uncertainty with ease
Receiving an Assessment and Rating (A&R) notification is an opportunity to showcase your key practices and foster a continuous cycle of learning, collaboration, and improvement—all with ease, calm, and without disruption to your team’s flow.
Drawing on neuroscience and evidence-based communication principles, the Assessment & Rating Success Program equips you with proven strategies for a smooth cycle of completion.
The program's highly interactive nature allows participants to apply practical solutions that are both effective and grounded in real-world experience.
4 transformational weeks
Learn how to prime for success with this transformational 4-week online program that provides a powerful way forward. Sarah Moore, Certified Conversational Intelligence®, Coach and Trainer as she guides you and your team through a transformative four-week journey.
When we prime for success, it helps us to become less reactive (triggering our primal brain) and more proactive in accessing our higher levels of thinking, which is something we need to bring the best out in ourselves, our teams, families and the children you work with.
Sarah has created a P.R.I.M.E framework for you to prepare for an assessment & rating journey. These steps will help you prime your team for continual success, so they can thrive through this process rather than survive!

Together, we identify key milestones and aspirations, ensuring your team, families and children are included in the journey cycle. Setting a celebration date promotes positive reflection and a focus on team contributions. Embracing the knowledge and safety of knowing what to expect throughout the process.

You'll learn to be present for your team, create curiosity, and reframe beliefs around the assessment & rating process. By increasing trust and emotional regulation, you'll foster a safe and supportive environment for your team's growth.
WK 4. EVALUATE - Reflecting and Supporting Growth Create a supportive space for your team to evaluate their needs during the assessment and rating process.

Interview with a participant
Watch (5min) interview between Sarah Moore and Fiona Black from Koala Child Care Centre discussing the learning and takeaways from Assessment & Rating Success Program.
"Completing the A&R Success Program with Sarah has allowed me to network, share ideas, break down the process and set clear goals. During the Program Sarah gave me the tools to identify where my team and I currently are, where we want to be and how to develop a collaborative roadmap to meet our service goals.
The relaxed, yet professional feel of the Program allows for easy conversation and sharing of ideas and the regular check-ins kept me on track, ensuring that the program became embedded in my daily practice. Although I’ve completed A&R visits previously the Program has provided opportunities to gain new insights from others, try something new and critically reflect on current and new practices.
The Program had me thinking about the whole process, from what we can do now, the week/day of the visit as well as what happens after the visit. I would highly recommend the Program for everyone, whether you’ve completed A&R before or not, there is always something new to learn and this program is an amazing platform to be able to do that."
