Exit Slips
Exit Slips. sometimes called
“Ticket Out the Door,” are a strategy that can actually be used in any subject
area. It is a strategy that requires
a student to respond to a question the teacher poses at the end of class. The question is designed to help the student reflect
on what they have learned and express how or what they are thinking about the
new content. This also helps to integrate
writing in your classroom and encourages critical thinking. They can also serve as a form of informal
assessment. Before using Exit Slips,
they should be modeled and practiced.
The three categories of
Exit Slips are as follows:
