Exit Ticket Template

About this resource

Exit Ticket Template: a fast, end-of-lesson check for understanding, for any classroom teacher, any

grade, any subject. Every question is yours to write in — this file supplies the format, never the

content of today's lesson.

WHAT IS INCLUDED — 16 pages, four exit ticket formats, a substitute-friendly version, a whole-class

roll-up, a team hand-off note, a 30-starter phrase bank, a weekly prompt planner, and a filled example

Setup

• How This Exit Ticket System Works — three steps, plus a four-row "which format fits the time you

have" reference table

• How the Type-In Fields Work — one page, so nobody emails you
• Weekly Exit Ticket Prompt Planner — a 10-row table to write in each weekday's question and pick the

format ahead of time, a 4-row format key, and four lines for notes going into next week

Four Exit Ticket Formats

• 3-2-1 Exit Ticket Slips — six slips per page, cut apart: three things learned, two questions still

open, and one word for how the lesson felt, each with a name line.

• Quick Check Slips, No Writing Needed — six more cut-apart slips for a fast transition check: circle

one of three faces, no sentence required. Built for a short lesson, a specials class, or a student

who is not yet writing.

• Short Written-Response Exit Ticket — one open question (you write it in) with 19 lines to answer in

full sentences, plus a three-option confidence self-check.

• Multiple-Choice Self-Check Exit Ticket — a confidence self-check and up to five content questions

(you write in the question and the four answer choices), bubble answers A through D.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: open it in a PDF reader, type into the lines and bubbles, and save. It also

works printed and photocopied in black and white — nothing on the cut-apart slips depends on color

to be read. It is not a Google Sheets file, a Google Doc, or a slideshow file, and it does not grade

or score an answer for you.

It is not a homework tracker, a behavior chart, or a skill probe with a fixed item bank. There is no

answer key and no permanent record built in — every question line is blank, because an exit ticket's

content changes with whatever was just taught. It is a same-day snapshot of who understood today's

lesson, kept by any classroom teacher, specials teacher, substitute, or paraprofessional.

Who This Is For

Classroom teachers at any grade level, specials and related-arts teachers, substitutes, co-teachers,

interventionists, and paraprofessionals who want a ready-made way to check understanding at the end

of a lesson without building the form themselves.
