Using Exit Slips for Assessment with Conceptual Understanding in the IB PYP
In the IB PYP classroom, we donโt assess learning at the end; we assess as learning happens. That means we need simple, consistent tools that show what students understand, how they are thinking, and where misconceptions are starting to form.
Exit slips are one of the most simple & effective formative assessment tools for this.๐
Used well, they give you immediate insight into:
- conceptual understanding
- student thinking and reasoning
- learning gaps and misconceptions
- next steps for teaching
But not all exit slips are equal.
In this blog, Iโm sharing how I use โThis or Thatโ Exit Slips to move beyond basic reflection and into meaningful conceptual assessment in IB PYP classrooms.
