You can use DM or EYO ...whichever you prefer....neither are statutory...in fact you can use any other method you like as long as you can discuss with the inspector.
Inspectors though have to judge outcomes against the EYO guidance...although some still say they like DM...but that is another matter decided by the DfE!!!!
You can use DM to plan the Next Steps for each child based on their interests and what you know from their starting points
Look at PR and EE to provide the best support and resources for the children, scaffold and extend their learning
Observe how they progress, what they do and say and look at the Characteristics of Effective Learning...how do the children like to learn and how you adjust your teaching to suit their style
When it comes to making a summative assessment of their progress use EYO to see they have got to that point...are they emerging in their learning? or as expected for age and stage or are they well beyond that and exceeding?
Hope it helps :thumbsup:
