How Can You Discover Your Practice Strengths & Weaknesses?

As practitioners committed to child-led inquiry and Floorbook approaches, we often sense when something in our practice could be stronger. Maybe documentation feels rushed, or children's voices seem muted in planning, or reflection happens sporadically rather than systematically.

The challenge? Pinpointing exactly where to focus the time and energy you have for professional development.

Identify Your Practice Gaps and Get a Clear Action Plan

Most practitioners experience professional development in one of two frustrating ways: either navigating growth by instinct - sensing areas for improvement without clear direction - or receiving training decided by managers that may not match their individual development needs.

Both approaches often lead to scattered efforts rather than focused improvement. You might attend courses that don't address your biggest gaps, try to improve everything at once, or spend time strengthening areas where you're already competent.

That's why we've created our free assessment tool - Assess Your Documentation and Inquiry Practice Tool - a simple, three-minute quiz that identifies your biggest practice strength and your most pressing development area, giving both practitioners and managers data-driven insight into where focused attention will make the biggest difference.

How the Assessment Works

The assessment examines four critical areas of inquiry-led practice:

• Documentation: How effectively are you capturing children's authentic voices and learning journeys?
• Child-Led Inquiry: To what extent do children's fascinations drive your planning and provocations?
• Inclusivity: How well does your practice ensure every child's ideas are valued and heard?
• Reflection: How consistently do you and your team pause to examine and improve your approach?

Each area receives a personalised score, showing you exactly where you're thriving and where focused attention could transform your practice.

The beauty lies in its simplicity. No lengthy questionnaires or abstract theories - just honest, practical questions that mirror the daily realities of early years settings.

Get Your Personalised Plan

Here's what makes this different from other professional development tools: you don't just get a score and walk away wondering "now what?"

Your results include:

1. Your unique practice profile across all four areas
2. One specific, actionable step to address your biggest gap
3. Tailored resource recommendations that match your development needs
4. Links to relevant training and tools

Think of it as having a wise colleague peek into your practice and offer that gentle nudge you've been seeking.

Next Steps

The most powerful learning happens when we're brave enough to look honestly at our practice - not to judge ourselves, but to grow.

Your practice transformation starts with clarity about where you currently stand. The assessment provides that foundation, helping you move from wondering about your development needs to knowing exactly where to focus next.
