Formative assessments - entrance and exit tickets

Completed

Once you start a unit, it's important to have periodic assessments to measure whether students are understanding the concepts and to prepare them for the end of unit assessment. One type of formative assessment you can do throughout the unit are check-in assessments, like reflections and entrance or exit tickets.

Reflections and entrance or exit tickets are short quizzes that you give students at the beginning, middle, or end of class to check in to see if they're able to recall the information you discussed in class (or that they worked on for homework). While these types of quizzes are progress checks and therefore not necessarily graded for accuracy, it's important for students to know whether they're learning the material.

Reflection

• Since assessment often drives instruction, would using Microsoft Forms give a teacher different information than a typical paper assessment?

Now it is your turn

Take a moment to try creating a Microsoft Form for your class. Choose a brief topic that you plan to assess in the next couple of weeks anyway. Try using different types of questions.
