Stick Pick Ask better questions. Capture learning. Differentiate with confidence. Completely rebuilt from the ground up, Stick Pick transforms everyday classroom conversations into meaningful insights. What began as a smarter way to randomly call on students has evolved into a complete teaching companion for questioning, assessment, small-group instruction, attendance, and instructional decision-making. Choose from more than 400 organized question stems across Bloom's Taxonomy, Costa's Levels of Questioning, Webb's Depth of Knowledge, and English Language Development (ELD). Whether you're teaching whole class, guided reading, intervention, or small groups, Stick Pick keeps the right questions within reach. But asking great questions is only the beginning. As students respond, Stick Pick captures formative assessment that would otherwise disappear the moment class moves on. Record language development, response quality, participation, and learning progress in seconds—without interrupting instruction. Over time, Stick Pick reveals patterns that are difficult to spot in the moment. See who's consistently growing, who's ready for greater challenge, and who may benefit from additional support. Smart instructional suggestions help you make informed decisions while keeping every teaching decision in your hands.
