Now? My students are more confident, more reflective, and more willing to try.
Mastery-based grading isn’t about being soft.
It’s about being clear, consistent, and focused on learning—not compliance.

7 Things to remember about Feedback 1 Feedback is not advice, praise, or evaluation. Feedback is information about how we are doing in our efforts to reach a goal. 2 If students know the classroom is a safe place to make mistakes, they are more likely to use feedback for learning. 3 The feedback students give teachers can be more powerful than the feedback teachers give students. 4 When we give a grade as part of our feedback, students routinely read only as far as the grade. 5 Effective feedback occurs during the learning, while there is still time to act on it. 6 Most of the feedback that students receive about their classroom work is from other students and much of that feedback is wrong. 7 Students need to know their earning target= the specific skill they're supposed to learn- or else "feedback" is just someone telling them what to do. Source: The collective wisdom of authors published in the September 2012 issue of Educational Leadership: "Feedback for Learning." (Volume 70, Issue 1).
Things to remember about feedback! Feedback shouldn't just be a mark. It should tell students where they are in their learning and how to move forward 😀

Nice thought piece. ‘Letting go’ = valuing learner agency or fostering independence in the spirit of #AssessmentForLearning I reckon. Otherwise it too readily becomes teaching to the test.
