PAX Sticks is a kernel of PAX that supports student engagement and increases students' sense of class predictability, procedural fairness, and peer support. PAX sticks can be used as a process for things such as choosing students to answer questions during a lesson, selecting helpers to pass papers out, running an errand, or for selecting the class Granny Wacky Prize.
