What is an exit ticket?

Exit tickets are a tool used to assess students' understanding of a lesson at the end of a class. These tickets typically consist of a few short questions that students are asked to answer before leaving the class.

Exit tickets give you a quick and easy way to gauge your students' understanding through your instruction, and to identify areas where they may need additional support either through supplemented teaching or practice.

Formative and Summative Assessments

Exit tickets can be used in a variety of ways, depending on your goals and the specific lesson you are teaching. Exit tickets are typically used for formative assessment, which is the process of evaluating student learning and understanding during the learning process.
