Supporters • “PAT is one of the techniques that many teachers choose because the kids love it and it works” • “In his books, Jones explains that PAT is all about teaching students time management and responsibility…Obviously if the PAT activities not motivational, students will not be willing to work to earn them.” Dr. Peggy J. George
