Friday Faculty Foci
Exit tickets are a great strategy to employ that help capture the learning journey at the end of a lesson.
Students complete them highlighting what they have achieved and asking any questions they might have about the learning. This information then informs the teacher’s planning of the next lesson.
On the last Friday of the Autumn Term Mr Appiah-Twum shared how he has been using this strategy very effectively in some of his Maths classes. It was a great reminder to all of us as we end a busy term and look forward to next year.
