I disagree with exit tickets and don’t wait until tomorrow. I think kids need time to process just like adults do. Entrance tickets give me the feedback I need and also remind students what we did yesterday.

Hi Matt.
Thanks for the ideas!
One effective, immediate, simple, low-tech feedback technique I use on a daily basis is “Honest Answers”. I ask all the students to cover their eyes, then I ask for an honest answer to my question(s), which might be, “Who thinks that they really understand this idea?” or Who is confused?”, or “Who might have some questions for me about this?”
Because nobody can see their answers, the students feel safe to respond honestly and without embarrassment.
For fun, I often ask a final question such as, “Who thinks ——is the best football team?”, or “Who thinks I’m the best looking teacher in Middle School?” (I’ll let you imagine what the response to this one is…)
