An open-question: Should we avoid the term “background’ knowledge?
This assumes that children must rely on experiences they either have had (or not).
Wouldn’t it be more equitable to say 'building knowledge’? This assumes a shared experience for all students in your class.

Why do we grade student assignments instead of making them revise and resubmit until they are satisfactory?

Giving pupils practice which replicates the test, is LESS effective than varying the conditions of practice.
That's right, coaching to the test does not develop long term learning. How are you making using of the Bjork's research on desirable difficulties in your teaching?

Here's a related idea from Grant Wiggins: "It's not teaching that causes learning. Attempts by the learner to perform cause learning, dependent upon the quality of feedback and opportunities to use it."
Just been reminded of this quote from Herbert Simon, which he got from Elliott Dunlap Smith: bit.ly/3vHKpOj (p.1)

Our Christmas gift each year from our principal is a book of our choice. The only rule: it cannot be a book about teaching. It has to be a book that we want to read for pleasure.
My principal, Sue Haney, invests in the reading lives of our entire staff. EVERY. SINGLE. EMPLOYEE.
