[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on what you mean by test.  My dd has "Exit Cards" in 4/5 math (4th grade).  She may have had them before but I didn't notice.

I asked my older kids what is meant by Learning Check, Exit Card, etc. and they said they are all tests, but the school and MCPS have rules related to tests (on which days they can be administered, no pop quizzes, etc) and so teachers use different names for the same thing.[/quote]

An exit card isn't exactly a test or quiz.  It's a couple questions based upon the day's lesson to see if the kids are getting it.  They're more for the teacher than the student.  [/quote]

But aren't all tests/quizzes to see if the kids get it?  Whether they are for the teacher or the student depends on whether you place the responsibility for the child's learning on the teacher or the student.  I don't see how one is more for the teacher and the other more for the student.  And I think my kids do Exit Cards at the end of a unit, similar to a unit test.  I don't think they do the Exit Cards after just one lesson.
