Let’s stop using the word “homework” & “class work”, and instead call it “practice”. Stop categorizing learning activities by the location where it’s supposed to take place, & instead name it for its purpose.

Labeling something formative does not make it so. An assessment is only formative when it's used formatively, so considering the subsequent action following the gathering of evidence is crucial; formative data collection without action is pointless & not formative #ATAssessment

Mastery-based grading rarely shows up in classrooms because schools, districts, and states try to roll it out without recognizing that it requires self-paced learning. We can’t expect students to achieve mastery if everyone has to move on to the next lesson the next day.
