How to Assign Core Lesson Workbooks + Exit Tickets

Overview

This guide walks you through assigning core lesson workbooks and exit tickets so that students can complete lessons digitally. For instructions on assigning activities, see How To Assign an Independent Practice Activity. 

  • Core lesson workbooks: The standard delivery of the Wayfinder curriculum, designed for real-time completion during teacher-led instruction.
  • Exit tickets: Targeted, post-lesson checks for understanding. They provide immediate data on student mastery and help you determine if the lesson’s specific learning objectives were met.

Please note that you can only assign lessons and exit tickets to students in grades 3-12. Exit tickets for PreK-2nd grade must be completed and analyzed outside of the app. To see what assignments look like from the student side, see Understanding the Student View.
