Exit Slips are a tool used to check students understanding of new material. This strategy requires students to respond to proposed questions either at the end of a lesson or the end of a class period. This in turn, will help students reflect on what they have learned and allows teachers to quickly assess students understanding of the material.
Why use exit slips?
There are three categories of exit slips (Fisher & Frey, 2004):
1. At the end of a lesson, the teacher should ask each student to respond to a provided prompt. The prompt should be categorized in one of the three ways (as mentioned above): • Prompts that document learning • Prompts that emphasize the process of learning • Prompts to evaluate the effectiveness of instruction 2. When students are done answering the prompt, collect all of the exit slips 3. Review the exit slips to determine if the instruction needs to be altered to better meet the needs of all students OR address the questions students have about the material |
