FAQ

What is an exit ticket and how do teachers use it?

An exit ticket is a short, low-stakes check given at the end of a lesson to see what students learned. Students answer a quick prompt before leaving, and teachers review responses to gauge understanding, spot misconceptions, and plan whether to review material before moving on the next day.

What is a 3-2-1 exit ticket format?

A 3-2-1 exit ticket asks students to write three things they learned, two things they found interesting or have questions about, and one question they still have. This format encourages reflection, surfaces lingering confusion, and gives teachers a quick snapshot of comprehension in a structured, easy-to-review way.

How can teachers write effective exit ticket questions?

Keep prompts short and tied directly to the lesson objective so answers reveal real understanding. Use one clear question or a quick problem rather than several. Asking students to explain reasoning, summarize a concept, or note a remaining question gives more useful feedback than simple yes or no responses.
