I think [testing] has had a profoundly problematic impact on student learning. It must seem to students that their worth as individuals is equivalent to their test score. The stress the high stakes culture has on teachers is also highly negative and must surely impact students in a negative way. It also de-professionalizes teachers because it encourages them to be script readers, followers of rigid schedules, and to disregard the needs of the people they teach in favor of the scripts and schedules.
Good design encourages a viewer to want to learn more.
The intelligent employer encourages challenge, questioning--not blind acceptance and "our Leader knows best" acclaim.
If you take all the food aid, America is by far the most generous country. If you take the direct aid, we're very generous. But when you add on our private contributions - see, our tax system encourages private citizens to donate to organisations that, for example, help the folks in Africa. And when you take the combined effort of US taxpayers' money plus US citizens' donations, we're very generous. And we'll do more.
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
I have no doubts. I know what gets in the way and I know what encourages me to do more work.
When starting out, don't worry about not having enough money. Limited funds are a blessing, not a curse. Nothing encourages creative thinking in quite the same way.
In both cooperative learning and project work, the teacher encourages children to talk to one another. This helps them pay attention to each other's efforts and ideas. Children take to these kinds of exchanges very readily, but the teacher really needs to encourage this interaction.

A good leader encourages followers to tell him what he needs to know, not what he wants to hear.
The trouble with poetry is that it encourages the writing of more poetry.
Rather than trying to recover and maintain a tradition that links back to the past (and former glories), Chaos Magick is an approach that enables the individual to use anything that she thinks is suitable as a temporary belief or symbol system. What matters is the results you get, not the 'authenticity' of the system used. So Chaos Magic then, is not a system - it utilises systems and encourages adherents to devise their own, giving magic a truly Postmodernist flavour.
The permanence of ink encourages one to "go for it," to try to put the line right where it should be. . . continued attempts to place lines accurately build the eye-hand coordination necessary for sketching.
Oh I believe in loving cats and dogs and children and parents – sometimes – but I don’t believe in romantic love. Of course, there’s the momentary rush of hormones and chemicals that encourages us to mate, but it’s biology – it’s no more inherently mystical than the nicotine in that cigarette you’re smoking
My dad has an incredible passion for living life, and he's really, really funny, so he definitely encourages me to enjoy all aspects of life. He's very proud of me and definitely encourages my career path, and we have a good time talking about work.
Free and open expression coupled with visionary leadership generally encourages good decision-making.
The beloved is one who nurtures you, trusts you, supports you, encourages you, loves you without conditions. That's you.
Courage encourages courage.
I gauge success in years, not weeks. The weekend box-office approach to book launches is short sighted and encourages crappy books.
We tried not to smile, for smiling only encourages men to bore you and waste your time.
