A simple way for teachers to share honest feedback and ideas anonymously.

Staff Meeting Exit Ticket
A quick slip for the end of a meeting or PD session to capture takeaways and questions.
Wendy Thamm
End your staff meeting asking for feedback from your team. A great way to capture their biggest takeaway, a lingering question, or a quick idea for next time.
Why try it
Gather honest input the moment a meeting ends, while it is still fresh. Collecting exit tickets regularly builds a habit of checking in on your own meetings and PD sessions, not just running them. Over time, the responses show you which formats and topics are working so you can adjust future sessions.

Instructions
1
Print and hand out the exit tickets
Print enough copies for every staff member attending, then distribute the slips a few minutes before the meeting ends so staff have time to fill them out before they leave.
2
Have staff fill in the prompts and drop them off
Have staff write down something they learned, a question they still have, and one thing they would love more of next time, then drop the slip in a basket or box by the exit as they leave.
3
Review and follow up
Read through the responses and share key themes at your next meeting or in a follow-up email.
Activity variations
Adapt to fit your school's vibe, budget, and setting.
Digital exit ticket
Send the same three prompts through a quick form for staff to fill out on their phone or laptop as they leave.
Department exit ticket
Use a version specific to a grade level or department meeting so responses are easier to act on.
Anonymous drop-box
Skip the name field and place the drop box somewhere staff pass on their way out, so responses stay anonymous.
