Using Exit Tickets to Support Reflection in the Primary Classroom 4 comments Assessments, exit tickets, reflection, Teaching Ideas Exit tickets are a great informal assessment tool. Typically students respond to a question at the end of a lesson. The students' responses are helpful in determining the various levels of understanding among the students. They are a quick and easy way to identify and meet your students' needs. Using exit tickets to assess specific skills is great, but I really like using them to help students develop the skill of reflective thinking. As teachers, we are encouraged to reflect on our teaching. We focus on the lessons that we've taught and identify what went well, what didn't go well, and how we can improve the things that didn't go well. This kind of thinking is important for our students too. Students of all ages should be encouraged to reflect on their learning experiences whether that entails identifying what they learned or how they felt about that learning. Chances are you already do this in one way or another. Exit tickets are by no means the only way to help students be more reflective of their learning, but they are a quick and easy way to do this. Using Exit Tickets for Reflection We definitely need to know how our students are specifically performing on various skills, but it's also important that we encourage them to think about their learning and to reflect upon it in different ways. Here are a few benefits of using exit tickets to encourage reflective thinking: They give students practice with higher order thinking and self-monitoring. They help students think more deeply about their learning experiences. They are an easy way to squeeze in a bit of extra writing. They give students practice with communicating thoughts and ideas. They can provide insight to your students' strengths and weaknesses from their perspective which can help drive your instruction/interactions with your students. When starting out, keep it really simple. Maybe you begin by having your students simply identify how a particular lesson went for them, without writing anything. Once they become comfortable with reflecting on their learning in this capacity, use exit tickets that require them to write about their learning. When is the right time to use reflection exit tickets? At the end of a lesson, of course! But, who's to say you couldn't also use them at the end of the school day? I say do it! Once your students have mastered the skill of reflecting on a single lesson, transitioning to the task of reflecting on a longer chunk of time makes sense. More specifically, why not task students with reflecting on their whole day? They can focus on one or two learning experiences (depending upon the exit ticket you use). When students are tasked with reflecting on a longer chunk of time, like the whole day, they practice prioritizing and weighing options as they choose what to share on their exit ticket. It might be challenging, at first. And, that's OK. Challenge + Practice (and persistence) = Growth. The more opportunities students have to reflect on an entire day's learning, the easier it will get for them. Frequency Honestly, how often you use exit tickets for reflection is entirely up to you. I don't like to overdo it because then students are less likely to submit quality responses. They are also less likely to take the act of reflection seriously. I think 2-3 a week for my second graders is sufficient for working on this skill. What should I do with the exit tickets? What you do with the exit tickets is entirely a personal preference, but here are a few suggestions: Glue or staple them to appropriate pages in interactive notebooks. Write a note to students on the exit ticket and send them home. Hang on to the exit tickets and staple them to completed assignments when/if appropriate. Keep them long enough to help you decide whether you need to address certain issues or reteach any content.

You can use them at the end of a lesson or at the end of your day. Enjoy! DON'T FORGET IT, PIN IT! Share It:

We are always working on improving our behavior, because, well toddlers live in this house lol I made these punching cards and they are working so well that I wanted to share them with you as a free printable. I am very cautious with incentives. Food is never used as a reward to encourage behavior because I don't want to enable an unhealthy relationship with food. Also I don't want to initiate a token economy where my kids are only doing behaviors (or not doing) for a reward/punishment. Anyone can be trained to say something, but does that change their heart? Usually not. According to the Bible, our behavior is an outpouring of our heart, so we have A LOT of conversations in our home to ensure our kids learn right from wrong and develop internal motivation. In the past we have used colored Popsicle sticks and a ticket jar to help us with character & behavior training. Both have worked well, but I wanted to try out something new. No matter how we are training our children, we know that they are very visual, so they need to be able to see their progress. I printed these behavior cards in color on cardstock paper so that they would hold-up with the punching. Every time one of my kids uses their manners, is kind, shares, listens well, cleans up without being asked, is respectful and obedient, and has a generous spirit and demonstrates a servants heart, they get to punch their card. They usually like to pick the color that they want, and then punch the hole. Dutch can punch his card by himself, but Ellis needs help or she tells Dutch what color she wants and he helps her. I get the kids to punch their own cards, because I want them to know that this is all about THEIR behavior and they need to take responsibility for their own actions. When their card is completed, they earn special activities (i.e. a field trip, go feed the ducks, they get to pick the book before bed, etc.) This is all about positive reinforcement. If they are disrespectful or do not use their manners, nothing happens to the card, they just don't get to punch it. Since they are working towards completing their card, poor behavior sets them back from their goal. Withholding a hole punch is a really big deal to them. This has been working really well in our home lately so I thought I would share it with you (free printable).
