Exit Slips - Evaluation tool for students AND teachers.

I feel like every time I open my RSS feeds, there's something there immediately relevant to what's happening this week in my life.  Today is no different.  In short, the administration rolled out a new teacher evaluation process to the staff of my school this week.  On the evaluation rubric, up to 5 points can be awarded for some kind of closure activity.  In said rubric it recommends exit-slips as an ideal closure activity.  Now I am no stranger of this practice and have been known to administer exit-slips in the past, but I had given them up as of late for no real concrete reason other than I got lazy.  So I read Edutopia's article this week and took it as a sign that I need to perk up and get my formative assessments in gear!
