PRAXIS MASTERY · FOR QUALIFIED ASSESSORS
Become the assessor you want to be.
Not just more CPD to watch. An opportunity to examine your own assessment practice, develop your professional judgement and work with our founder, Sally-Ann, to refine the work you do.
Use real assessment challenges to guide your development.
Each Mission helps you create or improve something useful.
Learn through focused tasks, discussion and scheduled coaching.
THE DIFFERENCE
You've done the training. Now let's look at the work.
You know the theory. But how confident do you feel when the evidence is inconsistent, a diagnostic decision is difficult or your report doesn't quite say what you need it to?
Mastery is designed to give you space to look closely at your own practice, question your approaches and make meaningful improvements. This isn't about producing perfect work. It's about becoming more thoughtful, confident and effective in the work you already do.
- Bring your own experience and professional questions
- Apply the learning in focused practical activities
- Benefit from Sally-Ann's guidance and shared professional discussion
HOW IT WORKS
Start with what you need. Work at your pace.
Mastery is organised around focused areas of assessment practice called Missions. Choose a topic, explore the resources, try the practical work and return to it whenever it becomes relevant to your assessments.
Choose your focus
Diagnostic decisions, report writing, selecting tests, qualitative analysis and more. You don't need to start at Mission 1.
Work on your practice
Explore worked examples and practical activities linked to real tasks in your assessment work.
Reflect and refine
As a full Mastery member, access available recordings and take part in live coaching and Voxer when sessions are scheduled during your 12-month membership.
THE MISSION LIBRARY
Real challenges. Practical progress.
Explore all nine development areas below. Each Mission has its own page with details of the learning, practical activities and supported delivery. Standalone Missions are only available during their scheduled live delivery.
Choosing Tests with Confidence
Are you making the most of the tests you already have? Examine your battery and strengthen your rationale for test selection.
From Profile to Diagnostic Decision
How confident are you in your conclusions? Weigh evidence, navigate inconsistencies and articulate defensible decisions.
Writing Reports That Are SAFE
What would another experienced assessor notice in your report writing? Look closely at your own analysis, explanation and clarity.
Efficient and Effective Report Writing
Could you spend less time writing reports without compromising quality?
Background Information That Works Harder
Use background information more purposefully to understand and explain the individual.
From Error Spotting to Pattern Finding
Move beyond right and wrong answers to understand spelling and writing patterns.
Reading Miscue Analysis with Confidence
Understand the reading behaviours behind scores and integrate them into meaningful interpretation.
From Evidence to Real-Life Meaning
Link assessment findings to the individual's experiences and everyday life.
From Impact to Action
Make recommendations that are genuinely connected to the assessment evidence.
HOW STANDALONE ENROLMENT WORKS
Join a Mission when the live support is available.
Each £99 standalone Mission includes its practical learning, group coaching and dedicated Voxer window. To protect the full experience, standalone Missions are available only during their scheduled live delivery.

THE PRAXIS APPROACH
Two frameworks that bring the learning together.
The Praxis Assessment Compass supports assessment thinking. The SAFE Report Writing Anchor supports how we communicate our findings.
The Praxis Assessment Compass
Evidence · Analysis · Impact · Action
Keep the individual at the centre as you consider the evidence and make informed decisions.
SAFE Report Writing Anchor
SASC-aligned · APC-ready · Fit for the individual · Efficient and effective
Write clear, accurate and purposeful reports without losing your professional voice.
YOUR TIME MATTERS
A development programme that fits real assessor life.
You don't have to complete everything straight away, and you don't have to wait for another intake.
Use Mastery when a particular question comes up in your practice. Return to relevant material when you are working on a report, reconsidering a test battery or evaluating a diagnostic decision.
Join at any time. Your 12 months begin on your enrolment date. As a full programme member, access available self-study content at your own pace, and participate in relevant scheduled coaching and Voxer activities during your membership.
Mastery gives you the space to explore questions like this constructively, without expecting perfection.
TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO DEVELOP
Praxis Pro or Praxis Mastery?
Neither is a prerequisite for the other. They have different purposes and can complement one another.
Stay informed. Stay connected.
Professional updates, CPD resources, discussion, coaching and a supportive community to help you keep up with developments in dyslexia and SpLD assessment.
Focus: keeping your professional knowledge and practice current.
Apply. Examine. Refine.
Focused Missions and practical activities that invite you to look closely at your own assessment work, with scheduled opportunities for coaching and professional feedback.
Focus: actively developing the quality of your diagnostic assessment practice.
LEARN WITH SALLY-ANN MORRISON
Not perfection. Better professional thinking.
I've spent 30 years in dyslexia and SpLD diagnostic assessment, training and professional development, including five years as a Patoss APC Reviewer.
I created Mastery because I wanted assessors to have more opportunities to examine their own work: to discuss decisions, challenge assumptions and explore what effective practice looks like in real assessments.
It's not about someone telling you there is only one right way. It's about developing the confidence to explain and stand behind your own informed professional judgement.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you decide
Have I missed the start of Mastery?
Not at all. Full Praxis Mastery is open for enrolment at any time, and your 12 months start when you join. The materials and recordings for released Missions are available to you, with live coaching and Voxer when each Mission is scheduled during your membership.
Do I have to complete the Missions in order?
No. As a full Mastery member, you can start with any available Mission that matters to your practice. Mission numbers identify development areas, not a required learning sequence.
What if I want help with a Mission that has already finished?
Full Mastery members can access the released learning materials and session recordings now, and are invited to relevant live coaching and Voxer when the Mission returns during their membership. Standalone Missions are unavailable once their supported delivery has finished, so nobody pays £99 expecting live feedback that has already taken place.
Can I buy an individual Mission at any time?
No. Standalone Missions are only available during their scheduled live delivery. Each Mission page will show how to enrol when available or register interest for its next delivery. This ensures every £99 participant receives the practical tasks, group coaching and Voxer experience the Mission was designed around.
Will I receive individualised feedback on my report writing?
The majority of Missions include opportunities to share your writing for feedback and discussion in group coaching and an individual Voxer window. Standalone buyers receive these opportunities during their Mission’s supported delivery; full Mastery members can participate in relevant windows as scheduled during membership.
Is Mastery only for experienced assessors?
No. It is designed for qualified Level 7 assessors, including those who have recently qualified and those with many years of experience.
How is Mastery different from Praxis Pro?
Praxis Pro helps you stay informed, connected and supported with professional updates and a strong community of fellow assessors. Praxis Mastery focuses on working actively on your own assessment practice through more structured, practical development activities. You can join either or both.
Is Mastery a subscription?
No. The current enrolment lasts for 12 months and does not renew automatically.
