Assessment for LearningAssessment for Learning

When we gather data from students about their progress and then act on that data by adjusting what we are teaching or how we teach it, this is what is known as:

Assessment for learning Often a formal evaluation is too late to

measure the effectiveness of your teaching. Quizzes are useful here but is more of a ‘passive’ assessment for students.

There is a need for a more responsive assessment tool that makes the student more accountable.

Explaining Exit Cards to students…

► For students to ‘buy in’ they need to feel comfortable with this classroom practice.

►Students need to know what the exit cards are being used for. Let them know that you want to know how well they understand what is being taught or difficulties they may be having so you can plan to help them. (Not always graded.)

►You can announce a scored exit ticket, or a non-scored ticket. The more non-scored ticket, the more honest answers you will get.

Time sink, or time saver?Time sink, or time saver?

►Teacher time: In other words, the teacher takes a look at the exit cards, which only takes a few minutes to do.

►The teacher will then be given a clearer indication of what the students know or don’t know, or their feelings or opinions about a topic, and the teacher can then move forward with a degree of confidence that s/he is giving students what they need.

Time out of the lesson?Time out of the lesson?How long do Exit Tickets take?

As little as 1 to 2 minutes up to 10 or 15 minutes, depending on the question the teacher asks.

Again, the student is responsible for summarizing the purpose/objective

of the lesson (active learning, and higher order thinking skills).

Teacher’s call if you want a simple check for understanding.

“Teachers assess the responses on the exit cards in order to provide differentiated instruction to meet the diverse needs of learners in the classroom.”

►EL students can be better assessed and instruction scaffolded before assessment.
