What it does
The best quick check for the moment in your lesson, with a clear way to run it. You stop reaching for the same exit ticket every time. You say when the check happens, what you want to find out, and the age group. You can add class size, subject, who needs extra support and what gear you have, such as mini whiteboards or slips of paper. The skill picks a technique that fits that moment, class size and time, explains how to run it, and says what to do with the answers. It can offer a backup if you have no devices. It suits teachers who want to see understanding before moving on.
