Exit Slip Feedback Loop: Turning Student Insight into Next Steps

In this IRIS Connect Tech Guide, we explore how to use the Exit Slip Feedback Loop strategy to shape future lessons and strengthen learning. At the end of a lesson, students complete a short exit task (e.g. “One thing I understood, one thing I’m unsure about”), which the teacher reviews to inform feedback or planning for the next lesson. This approach promotes learner-driven feedback and gives students a meaningful voice in their learning journey.

What it is:
At the end of the lesson, students complete a short exit task (e.g. “One thing I understood, one thing I’m unsure about”), which the teacher reviews to inform feedback or planning for the next lesson.

Desired effect:
This strategy allows for formative, learner-driven feedback that shapes future instruction and gives students a voice in the learning process.

Problems it helps solve:
“Students leave a lesson with misunderstandings or shallow knowledge that remain undetected, especially when teachers rely on hands-up responses or general impressions.”
“Students find it difficult to use feedback to inform timely next steps.”
“Students rush to finish, leaving little space for metacognitive reflection or consolidation.”
