Do Not Be Defensive!
When sharing this graph, I always remind educators to not be defensive. Nobody I have ever met writes on their lesson plans which student is to be discouraged each day. This discouragement is not done on purpose.
The “take away” from the graph:
Is not the responsibility of educators to motivate students, but to determine what is causing this loss and stop such practices. Educators have been using their pocketbooks to “motivate” when ears are far more powerful.
