Frequently asked questions
What exactly is an exit ticket?+
An exit ticket is a short closer for a lesson or training, usually 2-3 questions that measure whether the main points landed. No grade — but insight for the teacher and a moment of reflection for the student. The term comes from American education and is being used more and more in Dutch contexts.
How long does an exit ticket take?+
Ideally 2-5 minutes. Shorter than 2 minutes gives too little depth; longer than 5 minutes feels like a test. The student should feel that this is a closer, not a new lesson activity.
Which questions work best?+
Three types of questions work well. (1) "What is the most important thing you learned today?" — open. (2) "Which concept remains difficult?" — open. (3) A short multiple choice that tests the core concept. Combine 1 + 3 for a balance between reflection and check.
What do I do with the answers?+
Three things. One: quickly review the open answers — do you see patterns in what remains difficult? Two: adapt your next lesson to those missed concepts. Three: give feedback ("last week X was difficult, so we'll start with it today") — students see that their feedback has an effect.
