5-Min Pro · Assessment for Learning: Quick Tools

The idea — Assessment for learning means using information about what learners know to adjust your teaching in real time. It is not a test at the end — it is a pulse-check during.

In practice — Exit tickets: learners write one thing they learned and one thing they are still unsure about. You read them before the next class. You know exactly what to revisit.

One-minute task — Use an exit ticket next lesson. Write two questions on the board in the last three minutes: ‘I learned…’ and ‘I’m still not sure about…’ Read the answers before you plan the next class.
