Description
Many people use exit slips at the end of class as a formative assessment to see what students have learned. I do this as well--but not as often as I use ENTRANCE slips!
Entrance slips you ask? Absolutely!
Consider the number of students you have had in your life who got 100% on every spelling test but spell the same words incorrectly at every other time. The same can be true with exit slips. LOTS of students can do well with a topic immediately after being taught. For me, it is more valuable to see who can still do it the next day or the day after that! That's why I started using quick learning checks the next day--I wanted to see where my class stood before I started to teach.
They can be used to check understanding on academic content OR to get a read on student attitudes and comfort levels and I use them in a couple of ways:
...to see if there are any students with major misconceptions
...to see if the entire class is missing understanding and I need to reteach
...to sort my students into groups for instruction
