In the past thirteen years, Beidaihe Middle School has grown from four classes with 200 students and 35 faculty members in 1998 to 23 classes with 1050 students and 107 faculty members. From the "Cultural Revolution" to 1997, after the reconstruction of high school, the scores of college entrance examination climbed year after year. Over the past ten years, thousands of high school graduates have been trained for Beidaihe District, and the proportion of students entering colleges and universities is among the best in the three urban areas (except Qin, China and foreign countries), which has contributed to enhancing the geographical advantages of Beidaihe District and improving the population quality of Beidaihe District. For more than ten years, the school has been awarded the honorary titles of Hebei Psychological Education Experimental School, Hebei Innovative Education Experimental School, the first batch of municipal demonstration high schools in Qinhuangdao, the civilized unit in Beidaihe District, the home of advanced workers in Qinhuangdao City, and the advanced unit in moral education in Beidaihe District. Beidaihe middle school teachers have a good foundation. All front-line teachers have bachelor degrees, and senior teachers account for 45% of the total number of teachers. This is a favorable condition for running a school. However, with the increase of teachers' workload and work difficulty, job burnout is manifested. The school is well aware of the importance of the optimization of teaching staff to the cultivation of students and the improvement of teaching quality, and vigorously strengthens the construction of teaching staff. Adhering to the concept of lifelong education, the school regards building an excellent research-oriented teacher team as a long-term strategic measure to realize the educational concept of research-oriented schools. To this end, schools carry out school-based research in a down-to-earth manner, which can be summarized by "eight ones":
Conduct training for all employees once every academic year. Two days before students report for duty every academic year, organize all faculty members to participate in scientific research and training. Experts' lectures, principals' forums, learning exchanges, classroom observation, study tours, achievement exhibitions and other rich contents allow teachers to recharge before work and enter the new semester with cutting-edge teaching concepts, advanced research methods and good working mentality.
Teaching and research activities once a week. Each teaching and research group insists on school-based teaching and research for one and a half days a week, with a fixed time, place, topic and speaker. Information exchange, research on teaching materials and methods, study case studies, online training, classroom observation, classroom demonstration and classroom discussion have really overcome utilitarianism and paid attention to domestic demand in teaching and research work; Avoid blind obedience and pay attention to school-based; Reduce form and pay attention to process; Avoid glitz and pay attention to practical results.
Each research group has a theme. The school encourages teachers to participate in project research, encourages the teachers of the preparation research group to determine the research topic according to the actual situation of the subject, and promotes teaching and research by topic according to the classroom teaching behavior and students' learning methods, so as to make the teaching life full of vitality.
Everyone has a research class. Each teaching and research group insists on carrying out classroom teaching and research activities every semester. Each teacher does a research class in the group in the first semester, and each teaching and research group recommends a seminar to the school in the second semester. Through a series of activities such as video observation, lectures, class evaluation and teaching reflection, teachers' teaching achievements are displayed and fixed as "demonstration classes", so that the research class can effectively unify teachers' "teaching design-teaching reflection-scientific research practice-professional growth" and improve teachers' teaching level in practice.
Everyone conducts an action research. The school requires each teacher to choose a topic every year according to the actual situation of his education and teaching, and to study, research, reflect and practice in the form of action research.
Reflection after each class. The school attaches importance to the design of teachers' lesson plans, and pays more attention to after-class review, teaching essays, after-class reflection and secondary design of lesson plans. Take it as the focus of teaching inspection and the content of communication with teaching and research group.
Everyone has reading notes. The school requires every teacher to read books related to education and teaching every semester and write down reading notes, with no less than 10,000 words per semester. Reading secretary's notes has gradually become the conscious behavior of front-line teachers.
One paper per semester. Writing a case with research value or a paper that can represent one's research level in one stage each semester is a holiday assignment assigned by the school to teachers.
The school does everything possible to create a good research environment for teachers, and strives to improve the conditions for running schools. It has built high-grade electronic lesson preparation rooms and teachers' reading rooms, purchased a large number of advanced educational and teaching theory books and audio-visual materials, and subscribed to subject newspapers and periodicals for each teacher. At the same time, pay attention to increasing external contacts and exchanges, and provide opportunities for teachers to display their talents. Becoming a research-oriented teacher has become a teacher's educational pursuit. Since June 2003, Beidaihe middle school teachers have obtained 424 educational and teaching achievements at all levels. The school's school-based training and scientific research have been fully affirmed by the provincial and municipal education management departments, which has injected inexhaustible power into the connotation development of the school. It is the educational principle of Beidaihe Middle School to learn to be a man first, then to learn knowledge, and to stand by virtue. The school really puts moral education in the first place and makes great efforts to actively create an educational atmosphere of "moral education for all". School leaders publicize the concept of "moral education for all" on various occasions. Moral education is not only the business of moral education department, class teacher and school leaders, but also the business of all front-line teachers and other faculty members. "There is no small matter in the school, and everything educates people". To do a good job in all aspects of the school, every corner of the school is striving to build a healthy and progressive spiritual home. To this end, moral education has implemented the principle of "three systems":
-Moral tutorial system. According to the educational principle of "building morality by virtue, controlling emotion by emotion, aiming at ambition and guiding learning by deeds", the task of ideological education is decomposed into moral education counselors, so that more teachers can care about and guide students' thoughts, life, psychology and study, and form a mode of ideological work for students that pays equal attention to teaching and educating people, discipline and guidance.
-the first responsibility system. It is required that all faculty members have the responsibility to deal with violations of students' rights and interests or disciplines inside and outside the school in a timely manner, conduct face-to-face education and communicate with relevant departments of the school in a timely manner.
-moral education early warning system. Through various legal means, establish an early warning mechanism for students' ideological trends, behavioral norms and mental health. Once the students have problems, the early warning network will respond quickly so that the school can teach in time.
The school has also taken concrete measures such as the Party branch cooperating with the supervision, and party member teachers taking the lead as moral education instructors to ensure that "moral education for all" is implemented. In particular, class teachers and moral education counselors do a lot of hard and meticulous ideological education work for students anytime and anywhere, so that poor students can get rid of their inferiority complex and become cheerful; Single creatures get rid of emotional dependence on opposite sex students and actively participate in intense study life; Students with learning difficulties find motivation and methods to learn and catch up; Excellent students have found their weaknesses and are more practical and diligent ... Many students are ignorant and full of problems as soon as they enter school. After the unremitting education and transformation of the school, they have changed with each passing day and changed significantly.
The school adheres to the people-oriented principle, pays attention to every student, respects every student, treats students with tolerance, guides students with appreciation and encouragement, and smiles at every student. Many humanized elements have been added in class management, classroom teaching, general logistics, canteen management and dormitory management, which aroused students' self-esteem and self-improvement. The Party branch of the school and the Youth League Committee set up a student party school, which deepened students' understanding of China, deepened their love for the motherland and further deepened their love for learning. Take the Party School as an educational platform to promote students' self-development. Since 2003, the Party School has trained 565,438+02 graduates, some of whom have become the key training targets for the Communist Party of China (CPC) to train party member. School moral education takes activities as the carrier, which is rich in content and remarkable in effect. A series of moral education measures have promoted the formation of a good school spirit and attracted the praise of many people inside and outside the region. "Responsibility, perseverance and health" is the motto of Beidaihe Middle School. Teachers take "let every student develop actively" as their own responsibility, be loyal to their duties, be diligent and persistent, and strive to achieve the healthy development of the school. Every student should establish a sense of responsibility, clarify the mission of national rejuvenation as a builder of the future motherland, clarify the obligation to society as a citizen, clarify the return to the family as a child, and clarify the responsibility to the alma mater as a student. Guide them to do everything carefully, cultivate perseverance and good study habits, cultivate healthy psychological quality and exercise healthy physical quality. Teachers and students take "responsibility" as the driving force, "perseverance" as the criterion and "health" as the goal, and jointly carve the rough jade of Beidaihe Middle School.
Education that lays the foundation for students' lifelong development and cultivates students' lifelong learning ability and innovation ability is an important measure to realize the general plan of running a school. Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the key to realize quality education, and it is also the school-running feature of Beidaihe Middle School. Since 2003, Beidaihe Middle School has carried out classroom teaching reform with the theme of "independent learning and independent development". The purpose is to highlight subjects and let students take the initiative to seek knowledge. The teaching research of "project participation" in Chinese group, "MM" teaching method and "self-study guidance" teaching method in mathematics group, "four in one" teaching method in English group, and "let students collect data and investigate and study" learning method in liberal arts comprehensive group, and the physics and chemistry students group changed the past demonstration experiment to students' hands-on experiment ... These teaching practices, taking students as the main body, cultivated students' autonomous learning ability and thinking ability, and realized the traditional one. In terms of teaching objectives, we should take care of all students, tap the learning potential of each student to the maximum extent, drive the top students with poor students, lead the underachievers with poor students, solve the problem of "polarization", do not give up the education of any student, let students at all levels have income, and truly achieve better excellent students, better development of middle students and better transformation of underachievers, so as to achieve large-scale gains.
Schools attach importance to education and cultivate good behavior habits and study habits. Freshmen's military training, the system of students taking turns on duty, the requirements of "no bubble gum", "no paper scraps" on the ground and "no scratches" on the desktop wall, neat toilet tools, orderly dining queues in the canteen, civilized conventions on student accommodation and etiquette education, etc. On the basis of understanding, students are strictly required to form consistent campus standards. Teachers and students jointly protect the spiritual home of Beidaihe Middle School. It is quite ingenious in the cultivation of study habits. From the first year of high school, from writing to reading, from preview to homework, from grasping all aspects of learning to implementing learning strategies, it has been forged in many disciplines. These are like a trickle, which is continuous and imperceptible in students' thoughts and actions, gradually forming good study habits and promoting students' all-round development.
Beidaihe Middle School pays attention to creating a high-grade learning environment for students. The campus is full of graceful phoenix trees, tall and straight pines and cypresses, tall and straight poplars, lush lilacs, lawns, flowers and winding pavilions, creating a pleasant environment for reading and cultivating sentiment. Just like Cai Feng, the newly-built Chinese-Western architecture "Fengtou" is an office building, which embodies the important role of management. "Fengshen" is a teaching building, which embodies the main position of students; "Fengwei" is an experimental building, which shows that science and technology are a powerful guarantee for development. The architectural concept is consistent with the school-running concept, which indicates that the school will take off to a higher place and give students silent encouragement. In the teaching building, experimental building, dormitory building and canteen, the school has carefully arranged eye-catching and inspirational posters and famous sayings to help others; Show photos of outstanding teachers, outstanding students and campus activities in the window; The corridor opened an "information exchange column" for students to express their new knowledge and communicate with each other in the column; Television is installed in every classroom, and current affairs news, all over the world, man and nature, biographies of celebrities and world famous songs are broadcast during the big recess; After dinner, open the reading room for students to swim in the sea of books.
The school pays attention to letting more social resources enter the world where students grow up. For a long time, relying on the strength of all walks of life, we actively strive for the support and cooperation of all walks of life and parents to optimize the growth environment of students. Parents' committee meetings are held every semester to discuss the development plan of the school; Parents participate in classroom teaching seminars every semester and explore ways to improve classroom teaching through teacher-student interaction; Parents' forums are held twice every semester to exchange family education experience in the new period and introduce psychological education into family education. The school also cooperates with the community to actively create a harmonious educational environment. The school has also organized students to go out of school for many times, visit national key construction projects and patriotic education bases, and invite British models and alumni to give lectures in order to broaden students' horizons and cultivate students' sentiments.
"Studying schools, developing connotation and pursuing Excellence" is by no means a slogan of Beidaihe Middle School, nor is it a vassal fashion, nor is it utilitarian. Every sentence can be interpreted by their wonderful movements; Behind every word, there are their long, tortuous and solid footprints. Solid accumulation and concentrated teaching are the styles pursued by middle school students in Beidaihe. "Don't give up every student" and "provide lifelong quality education for every student" are their promises to society, parents and students, and also their vows to defend with their lives.
