I teach 5 sections of science (three 7th grade and two 8th grade classes) and am thinking of implementing this, but I'm not sure how effective it is. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I use exit tickets to determine if the students have grasped the concepts being taught on that particular day. I have students do actual exit slips that they place in the pockets that I have glued to the inside of my door. Sometimes I generate the questions, but I often let the students tell me what they took away from the activity or lesson. Another exit strategy that I use is the five finger handshake. As the students are leaving the room, they shake the teachers hand using all five fingers. If there is any less than five fingers, this is an indicator of a student who needs clarification on something they did not understand.
