Modern education is based on the informationization of modern society and stepping into the era of knowledge economy, with the goal of realizing people's all-round development. In the process of educational development, there are four major trends: personalization, lifelong education, popularization and integration. In addition to the above-mentioned recognized characteristics, compared with traditional education, China's modern education also has the following characteristics: (1) Quality education has been vigorously promoted; (2) Great changes have taken place in the purpose of people's education. They no longer focus on further education, but more on mastering skills and meeting social needs; (3) Educators' teaching methods are constantly updated, and multimedia has been widely used in teaching; (4) Introducing competition mechanism into the reform of school personnel system; (5) The teaching materials are more humanized and the reform of the curriculum system is further deepened; (VI) The general trend of world education integration has basically taken shape. In order to advocate and create democratic education, that is, education for all students, lively education and people-oriented education, and improve students' quality and ability. The author believes that teachers, as practitioners of modern education, should meet the following new requirements:

First, we should have noble ideology and morality.

Virtue is the norm. Teachers' noble morality is attractive and influential to students. "its body is right, but it does not make; It is for this reason that its body is not straight, although it is not obedient. The main duty of teachers is to teach and educate people. Therefore, we should make progress in thinking-have lofty ideals and lofty pursuit of life value, be enterprising-have selfless dedication to education, have a rigorous attitude towards academic research-have a good style of being meticulous and realistic, love students-be fully responsible for all students, be a good teacher and friend, be a model for students-be civilized in language, behave dignified, be strict with yourself and be a model for students. " All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance. "Contemporary people's teachers must have an open mind and be able to accommodate different viewpoints, opinions, thoughts and feelings, values, etc. Advocate creation, allow failure and encourage success; Can understand students objectively, get along with students sincerely and actively, understand the essence from the outside to the inside, understand students thoroughly and comprehensively, and grasp and control themselves correctly.

Second, we should have modern educational concepts.

In the modernization of education, the modernization of educational concepts is the forerunner of educational material modernization and educational system modernization. As teachers engaged in education, their thoughts have a more direct and important impact on education.

It is necessary to establish an educational quality concept for all students and their all-round development. In teaching, we should not only pay attention to the all-round development of students' morality, intelligence, physique and beauty, but also pay attention to the cultivation of students' innovative spirit and ability. Whether to become a person needed by the society or a person useful to the society is regarded as the standard to measure whether students become successful or not, and as the standard to test whether the educational concept is modern or not.

It is necessary to establish a correct view of students and teachers and students. Students are the "subject" of learning. Even in teaching, they don't just appear as "objects". In the teaching process, they are both "subjects" and "objects". Teachers should pay attention to guiding and inspiring students, fully arouse their enthusiasm and initiative in learning, create a good interactive atmosphere in teaching, and let students show their individuality and give full play to their specialties.

We should establish the concept of lifelong education. Illiterates in the future society are not illiterate people, but people who don't know how to learn. "Learn to be a teacher". Teachers cannot adapt to the future society once and for all. They must persist in self-study in their posts, live and study for one day, establish the concept of "lifelong learning", consciously "charge" and "refuel" themselves, cultivate their own hematopoietic function, build their own hematopoietic system, and realize "flowing water from the source" to meet the needs of society.

Third, we should master flexible, accurate and effective educational methods.

Teaching is an art. Excellent teachers' teaching skills will make students more and more interested in learning activities and enjoy learning. The hierarchy of teaching objectives, the diversity of teaching contents and the complexity of teaching objects in modern education determine that our educational methods must be rich, flexible, operable, targeted and effective. As an educator, we must study the object of education, choose the best education method according to each student's psychological characteristics and personality characteristics, be good at using heuristic teaching methods in the teaching process, highlight key points, break through difficulties, let students draw inferences from others, and let students receive education happily through teaching books. Teachers can achieve the effect of "independence in difficulties, self-discrimination in right and wrong, self-motivation in struggle, self-exploration in advanced knowledge and lifelong benefit" by using accurate teaching methods and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Teaching methods should not be flashy, and pure forms and ineffective "methods" should be eliminated.

Fourth, we should master advanced teaching methods.

Modern educational technology is an important means to implement quality education, improve education quality, promote education and teaching reform and realize education modernization. Advanced teaching methods with modern flavor such as tape recorders, televisions, projectors and computers are constantly emerging, and the wide application of multimedia in school education and teaching is particularly prominent. The appearance of these teaching methods provides conditions for teachers to stimulate students' interest, expand teaching time and space, activate students' thinking and help students understand and memorize textbooks quickly. As a teacher engaged in modern education, we must master these means skillfully and make full use of them, so as to realize the organic combination and flexible use of various media in the teaching process and realize teaching innovation. The basic point of "teaching innovation" is to teach students how to learn. Teaching innovation means the change of teachers' teaching concept, and it also promotes the formation of "teachers' team", from "pure moral preaching" to "setting up personality model", from "instilling ready-made knowledge" to "jointly constructing knowledge", from "providing standard answers" to "jointly seeking new knowledge". Therefore, in the teaching process, we should encourage students to innovate, guide students to be good at innovation, and constantly develop new teaching methods with students.

Five, must have strong teaching and research ability.

Modern education no longer needs a professional teacher, but an educator with both professional knowledge and educational theory and ability. We should dare to "discard the useless", conduct in-depth research on this major, become a "scholar" teacher, be good at guiding and guiding students to participate in teaching research, make teaching and learning more closely combined, and integrate teaching and research and development into one, so as to cultivate ourselves into an "expert" teacher. Teachers should also be able to discover new features and details from ordinary and ordinary things, and generate new inspiration and sparks; Discover new fun, generate new motivation and increase scientific research enthusiasm from repeated periodic work.

Sixth, we must have a sense of innovation and service.

Innovation is the soul of a nation. To cultivate innovative talents, we must first have innovative teachers. Teachers should not only focus on new practice, new breakthrough and new development, but also provide creative thinking and work, change their concepts, ways of thinking and management, "people-oriented" and "seeking truth from facts", and change "management, staring at and pressing" into "guidance, support and release", so that students can learn self-education, self-management and self-evaluation in practice.

Students are the "God" of learning. Contemporary teachers should establish the idea that educators are service providers, change from "guidance, guidance and guidance" to consultants and friends, pour their love and love feelings into every "god", "preach and teach", and guide them to learn to seek knowledge, be a man, survive and keep fit.

Seven, must have a broad cultural vision and strong labor skills.

In today's society, with the rapid development of scientific knowledge and the mutual penetration of related disciplines, the relationship between natural science and social science is getting closer and closer, which requires teachers not only to have the depth and breadth of knowledge, but also to have a solid professional foundation and extensive knowledge. Only by deepening capital can we meet the needs of both sides and meet its sources. We should also extensively dabble in the subject knowledge related to this major, constantly learn and master new educational theories, constantly expand our knowledge horizons, and form a relatively complete knowledge structure. Being able to build tall buildings during teaching is handy. The power of example is infinite. Modern education requires strengthening the cultivation of students' brain, mouth and hand abilities. As a teacher, I should master certain labor skills and experience. Therefore, teachers should take the lead in practice, go deep into the grass roots, go to factories and rural areas, understand the new technologies and trends in all walks of life, and learn from experts with experience in this field with an open mind.

Eight, we must have a strong sense of competition.

2 1 century is a century of competition. The most important content of world or regional competition is talent competition, and talent competition is ultimately education competition. Admittedly, the introduction of competition mechanism will produce pressure, but competition is both pressure and motivation. Only when there is motivation can there be development. From education to schools, teachers and teachers are facing the transformation from the previous system of "competing for horses" to the system of "selecting horses in the field". The result is: to be able to make concessions, to be fair, to be mediocre, and to be inferior. Therefore, teachers in modern society should have a strong sense of competition, establish a sense of competition, change pressure into motivation, change passivity into initiative, take the initiative to put themselves on the social stage, exercise themselves and improve themselves.

Modern education is a scientific education aimed at developing people's innovative spirit and practical ability, and it is an education aimed at cultivating qualified talents needed by the information society. This feature puts forward higher requirements for teachers' quality. Only by striving to improve all the necessary qualities and abilities can modern educators adapt to this new change.
