Teachers are able to move around the classroom and listen to various discussions. This allows teachers to gain valuable insight into levels of understanding.

A simple but effective formative assessment is the exit ticket. Exit tickets are small pieces of paper or cards that students deposit as they leave the classroom. Students write down an accurate interpretation of the main idea behind the lesson taught that day. Next, they provide more detail about the topic.

Admission tickets are done at the very beginning of the class. Students may respond to questions about homework, or on the lesson taught the day before.
