Looking at what’s at the heart of the new Development Matters and busting some data myths

In this ‘FSF Special’ we were joined by Julian Grenier, author of the new Development Matters, Gill Jones, HMI and Deputy Director of Schools and Early Education, and Wendy Ratcliff, HMI and Principal Officer for Early Education. Julian talked us through some of the principles underlying the new DMs and busted the myths around assessment. Gill and Wendy talk about what Ofsted is doing this term and how myth-busting on the use of assessment data continues.
