An exit ticket should change what happens next
The best exit tickets do more than end the class. They give you a fast way to sort student understanding and decide whether to reteach, regroup, extend, or move forward. Keep the prompt tightly connected to the learning objective.
Fast scoring routine
- Ready: The student meets the success criteria independently.
- Developing: The student shows partial understanding or an incomplete explanation.
- Needs support: The response reveals a misconception or missing prerequisite.
