Key Performance Indicators
By the end of December 2025:
Training participants will complete a 10-question assessment, with at least 80% achieving a passing score of 70% or higher. Note: Demonstration site scores will be separated from school site scores, as demonstration staff will have received more training.
80% of training participants will report feeling ‘very comfortable’ or confident using the National Online Reporting Assistant (NORA) as their primary tool for reporting non-urgent concerns of abuse or neglect.
Pass/Fail Model
Our training grading scale.
Grading Scale Definitions:
Distinction (DIS): Reserved for participants who demonstrate exceptional mastery and go beyond expectations. For example, their mock reports are exemplary, and their assessment scores are near perfect.
High Pass (HP): Reflects strong performance with minor areas for improvement. Participants are well-prepared and demonstrate a high level of competency.
Pass (P): The standard for satisfactory completion. Participants achieve the required level of understanding and practical ability to meet training objectives.
Low Pass (LP): Indicates participants are struggling but have met the minimum standards. Their work shows effort but requires further improvement.
Fail (F): Reserved for participants who fail to meet minimum standards, either through poor performance or incomplete work.
