Is an exit ticket a formative assessment?

Yes, an exit ticket is a formative assessment that students submit at the end of a class period. An exit ticket is an answer to one or more questions that students turn in as they’re leaving so that the teacher can assess how well each student met the lesson plan objectives.

Teachers use exit tickets to gather data about student learning so that they can target gaps and address student needs by modifying upcoming lesson plans or conferencing with students one-on-one.
