Last weekend, I received a special gift, a beautiful desk calendar from Education Times, which was an unexpected surprise.

I have been attached to Education Times 10 for many years. One day in 2009, I was lucky enough to receive a phone call from the editor-in-chief of Education Times Guide to Curriculum Reform, and was invited to attend the first award ceremony of "The Most Growing Teacher in Henan" and the observation seminar of "Deciphering the Professional Growth Password". I'm too excited to go to sleep. Although the traffic was inconvenient and the information was underdeveloped at that time, I finally agreed when I found the principal with the invitation letter and explained the situation. It can be said that I met a lot of trouble. I went to see my parents Dai Xiupeng, Mr. Yang Lei and other people I wanted to see, the host of the new education forum "Essays on Education", and the learned teacher Zhao Yu, and enjoyed the spiritual feast of professional growth. "To be a dream catcher", "Life needs constant growth" and "To be the best self", teachers should "learn first, then be a teacher" and sneak into their hearts. I secretly swear that one day, I will stand on such a stage.

? This has a lot of intersection with the education era. Although I have never had the courage to participate in the evaluation, all previous "The Power of Growth" and "The Power of Wisdom" were highly praised and publicized to the leaders and teachers around me. Moreover, I will try my best to attend the meeting whenever I have the opportunity. In 20 15, the "Henan Xingtan Net Research Association" initiated by Jiao Bingshu held its first annual meeting in Linzhou, Anyang, and met my teacher Huang Jie and her brother again. He suggested that I take part in the selection of growing teachers, but I didn't have time to submit the materials for some reason that year and missed it again.

I still remember the materials of the most beautiful teacher candidates in Henan Province in 20 17. Teacher Zhao Xin and I communicated on WeChat until late at night, which can be described as well-intentioned. Without the education era, without the professional guidance of the education era, without the silent attention and encouragement of the people of the times, how can I have today's achievements and glory?

It was under the recommendation of the Education Times and the platform built by my parents that I entered the field of vision of educators in Changyuan and became an example for teachers in the county to learn. As a result, there was an opportunity to win three provincial honors in just three months.

I deeply know that many teachers are better than me, but I am just luckier than other teachers. It is precisely because I became attached to the education era earlier that my awareness and actions of professional growth are one step ahead. In particular, the activities of Henan teachers' reading club have broadened my horizons, broadened my horizons, and made me really understand the teachers' horizons and the students' world. Where the heart is, the thread is there. The era of education is like a lamp, which lights up my dream of being a rural teacher and keeps me from being flashy and blooming quietly.

20 19 1 5th of the month is a great event for my parents. I also signed up at the first time, went to a circle of friends and told them all the good news. However, there was a training session on the 5th. As a subject expert in junior middle school Chinese workshop, I have to give up what I should give up. I sent a message to editor-in-chief Liu Xiao apologizing, expressing my apologies: "Hello, editor-in-chief Liu! Unfortunately, I can't go to our reading club because it conflicts with training! Our school successfully registered three students, and my quota was given to teachers, a total of four teachers! I look forward to making another appointment with my family! "

Although I was at the training site that day, I couldn't help but pay attention to the dynamics of the annual meeting when the workshop owners were studying freely. I strongly recommend young colleagues attending the annual meeting to post photos one after another, full of praise, which deeply touched glad you's arrival.

I laughed! Education Times has long been more than just a newspaper. Give full play to the advantages of educational media industry in the field of teachers' professional growth and become the main force to promote teachers' professional growth by building various platforms.

No matter when and where, I will proudly say that Education Times is the mother's home of our Henan teachers!
