Recently, I carefully read Professor Meng Fanhua's book Appreciate Your Students. This book chooses typical cases from the perspectives of parents, students and teachers to explain the mystery of successful education. Every story is accompanied by parents' comments and experts' comments, which are vivid and fascinating. Stories are often unexpected and shine everywhere. The hero of the story is often some students who are considered mentally retarded. With the encouragement, appreciation and encouragement of educators, these students have achieved excellent results and embarked on the road to success.
I think this should be an excellent model for us to learn. Their deeds have given me many valuable inspirations. As teachers, we have to face dozens of children and dozens of pairs of eyes full of longing and expectation every day. Our words and deeds, our emotional attitude, have a profound impact on every child. When children make mistakes or behave badly, severe criticism and loud reprimand are exchanged for temporary obedience and superficial obedience, but at the same time, rebellion and resentment are buried in their hearts. Instead of changing children and achieving their work goals, teachers hurt children's hearts, hurt the feelings of teachers and students, and bring more trouble to future work. Therefore, the new era needs teachers with new ideas, and the new era gives new meanings to "dedication" and "professionalism". Teachers are the work of dealing with people. Our working objects are young and ignorant children with flesh and blood, thoughts, emotions and unique personalities. This requires us to pay more attention to children's inner world and spiritual needs, stimulate children's love and curiosity, and cultivate children's will to make progress is far more important than imparting knowledge. We should always remind ourselves, always experience ourselves, use our infinite love, patience, care and love, and try our best to create a beautiful educational realm for our children and ourselves with encouraging or encouraging language.
Thoughts on reading Appreciate Your Students 2. I recently read Appreciate Your Students, and I felt a lot after reading it. The book illustrates the importance and feasibility of "appreciation" education with many vivid cases, and shouts out the educational idea that teachers should be kind to every life through one sad educational story.
Love is a kind of concern and concern. We should care about the growth of each individual from the height of cherishing the value of each life, and protect students' right to independent development like dew on the lotus leaf. We should see the existence of each individual, and everyone is equally important. All people should be developed, whether they are excellent, have difficulties in development, or even have special families. Treat students without any utilitarian psychology. William james said: The deepest need of human nature is the desire to be appreciated and praised by others. Therefore, when teachers can treat students with "appreciation" words and deeds, they will inspire students' infinite courage, awaken his buried potential and encourage him to stride towards success. To make teachers have the magic weapon of "appreciation", simply speaking, it is to stimulate teachers' love and let teachers work out of love, not just to regard education as a profession or a means of making a living. "It is instinctive to love children, and it is sacred to love others!"
Without love, there is no education. When love is poured into education, teachers will treat children with appreciation, and teachers will treat children with tolerance and understand their shortcomings. When love is poured into education, teachers will know how to accept and use "appreciation", an effective means of education, and cultivate "people-oriented" and "everything for the development of every student" in the garden of education as a new curriculum concept. Every student's potential is enormous,
When students are praised and praised by teachers at school, they will consciously enlarge their advantages, show strong confidence in themselves, and strive to become excellent, and some bad behaviors will be eliminated unconsciously. Appreciate the characteristics of students. We must first recognize the talents of students, and then pay attention to and praise them, and be targeted. That is to say, instead of "pulling into a basket is a dish", we point to a word or a line of praise from students, but appreciate it according to their characteristics. Appreciation is an art, a knowledge and a compulsory course for teachers. Teachers should master effective appreciation means through continuous study and in-depth research, and play their greatest role in appropriate time and occasions.
Appreciation is not everything, but it can be close to everything. American writer budd schulberg wrote his first poem when he was seven or eight years old. His mother's evaluation is "wonderful", while his father's evaluation is just the opposite: terrible. From his mother's "appreciation", he got the power of love, inspiration and the source of creation; From his father's criticism, he got the power of warning, so he reminded himself from time to time "to be serious, to pay attention, to sum up and to improve". Encouraged by these two forces, he finally became a famous writer. In fact, every child has his own bright spot, but sometimes our eyes are covered by hurried footsteps and muddled mood; Trivial work and hectic clues have blunted our keenness; The bondage of grades and the pressure of entering a higher school disturb our hearts, so we see more students' shortcomings and ignore those innocent eyes and innocent hearts.
Appreciate students, treat them as your own children, tap their bright spots, understand students, trust students, and constantly encourage and praise students. I think we will definitely get pygmalion effect. James, a famous American psychologist, once said: "The deepest essence of human nature is the desire to be appreciated." Regardless of age and status, people want to be different and will not refuse compliments from others. Praise or reward from others will make the praised person have a pleasant emotional experience, so students will definitely move in the direction you guide.
On a cold winter afternoon, I accidentally opened a book that will change the educational ideas of many teachers and the lives of thousands of children in Qian Qian, and began to read it. One, two, three ... When a story unfolded before my eyes, I couldn't help feeling a lot of regrets and was deeply moved by them. When I read the story "That teacher Li Shengzhen used one life to understand and love another life, and helped so-called' bad children',' stupid children' and' stupid children' get rid of their nightmares and enter a better tomorrow", I suddenly saw the students I had taught for a semester in my mind.
At the beginning of school, I heard all the teachers who had taught him comment on him, "This is a bad boy in his bones". I heard this sentence at that time. So after repeated consideration, I decided to let him be the study committee member of our class and read his name aloud when announcing the cadres. After the announcement, I talked to him alone for a long time. I said to him, "Teacher Lu knows that there were many things you didn't do enough in the past, but these teachers Lu don't understand and don't want to know now. I just want to know how you are doing now. Do you have confidence? " I remember he nodded to me very cautiously. It turns out that he has been living well for two and a half months since then. During the period, although an extortion incident occurred in the summer vacation was exposed, it was investigated and educated by the teachers of the Moral Education Department, and it happened to be the first monthly exam after the start of school. Because of the investigation and education, he only took four courses, but three of the four courses passed. According to his situation, when I rewarded the students who made progress in the monthly exam, I specially gave him a special prize to encourage him to continue his efforts in front of the whole class. Although he didn't say anything, I saw his face flushed with excitement. It can be said that at that time, I didn't think he was a "bad boy" at all.
Undeniably, this classmate's initial transformation cannot be separated from my understanding and encouragement. However, the real change of a child needs the persistent love of the teacher, the patience of the teacher and the constant communication and understanding between the teacher and the students. One thing that happened later really made me regret it. It was at a class meeting, because I heard the teacher say that he talked more with a classmate in the next group, so I decided to change his seat in the class meeting tree that day. To my surprise, no matter what I say, he will not change. Everyone in the class looked at me at that time. In that case, I forgot everything to save face and forcibly changed his position. But after changing places, his face flushed, his head bowed and he looked angry until the end of the whole class. Although I communicated with him in time the next day, from then on, I found that he didn't trust me very much and gradually began to be depressed.
Actually, think about it now If I had communicated with him before I wanted to change his position, I would have known what he was thinking. If he didn't want to change, I would have thought of other ways to solve this matter. If he doesn't trust me because of this matter and starts to feel depressed, he will continue to work harder to communicate with him and will still look for every opportunity to encourage him; If he continued to make mistakes with less criticism and more patient guidance and education, maybe he wouldn't be like this now.
Mr. Guo Moruo once wrote a poem: "Teachers are easy to meet, but teachers are hard to find." Yes, the difficulty of being a teacher lies in understanding students with an honest heart. Only by always knowing students everywhere and dedicating their true feelings to them will students be willing to accept the teacher's teaching. There should be more understanding between teachers and students and less harm; More encouragement, less sting; More care, some hatred; Communicate more and be less suspicious. Then, our education will become a truly successful and appreciated education.
After watching Appreciating Your Students, I feel 4. We are teachers and ordinary people, but we are engaged in a sacred cause. We face people every day, not our students. They are innocent and lovely, full of vitality and fantasy, and they have unlimited trust and admiration for us. We give love and get more love.
After reading the book Appreciate Your Students, what I feel most is love, and what runs through education and students is love and favorite. After reading this book, I often think about how to determine my position on the big ship of life, whether it is a sailor or a helmsman, a first mate or a soldier. Everyone plays a different role in the world, and the key lies in positioning. There are two big hands directing me, as if the art I studied in the normal school has nothing to do with the classes I teach at work. But isn't teaching well an art?
There is a saying:? Live in the moment? . In fact, everyone's fate is still in their own hands. Although from birth to growth, parents are basically making decisions for themselves. But there are still many decades ahead, and there are still opportunities for you to choose. It's up to you to choose whether to spend hard or return empty-handed. Only now can I pick up my major in school. There are miscellaneous things at work, and things in life have no time and no mood (in fact, I know these are excuses). Since I often think about it, I think this matter will soon be put on my life agenda.
Every time I see a fragment in the book, I always reflect on myself and my attitude towards students and my family. I lament that I am too ordinary to have a pair of discerning eyes to discover the strengths and potentials of students. Ordinary people without a pair of skillful hands lead students to a wider world.
After working for several years, I am naturally happy to be affirmed by the school leaders and parents, but I feel that I have done too little, and I am a little ashamed of my parents' trust and praise from the leaders.
Fairness, justice, love, teacher development, teacher professionalism, etc., the new education has put so much effort on teachers. The so-called persistence, the so-called diligence, the so-called. Teachers' own motivation and external motivation. Anyway, be a teacher with a clear conscience and work hard.
The essence of education is educating people. How to make a person have noble character in the process of education? I think: a man of noble character, whether for money or for ideals, as long as it is a normal struggle and a just struggle. In the process of struggle, he never forgets his parents and always helps others. He can be said to be a man of noble character.
The new education not only educates students, but also educates me. It was the new education experimental school that made me cook. It is the teacher's humanistic reading that makes me think so much. I'm glad to send it to you? I have made progress. Thanks to the new education, it gave me a stage to grow up. I like everything I have now: students, work, family and children.
"Appreciate your students" also points out a new teaching concept for us. In other words, teachers should not only impart knowledge to students, cultivate their ability and improve their moral quality, but also cultivate their innovative spirit and practical ability. Pay attention to creating a thought-provoking and exploratory teaching situation in teaching, guide students to find, think and solve problems themselves, and make the process of students acquiring knowledge and information truly become the process of students' mental development. At the same time as preaching, teaching and dispelling doubts? Should educators also become practitioners? Lifelong learning? A model of thought. Paying attention to and strengthening continuing education is an inevitable requirement of the development of the times. In short, lifelong learning is a necessary prerequisite for our teachers to stay ahead of the times.
Appreciate Your Students has given me a lot of new inspiration. I will do my duty and work hard in my ordinary post. Finally, let me end this article with a sentence from Mr. Xu! -education is a career, and the significance of a career lies in dedication; Education is science, and the value of science lies in seeking truth; Education is art, and the life of art lies in innovation.
Some thoughts on reading Appreciate Your Students 5. I recently read Appreciate Your Students again. Tao Xingzhi's educational masterpieces are mentioned many times in the book, and his educational thoughts and theories shocked me. Mr. Tao Xingzhi said, "There is Watt under your pointer, Newton in your cold eyes and Edison in your ridicule." Mr. Tao Xingzhi's theory embodies the educational concept of teaching and educating people and serving the people.
Mr. Tao Xingzhi said "Love the whole world". "Love every student" and "Be willing to be a camel for children". How great it is for Mr. Tao Xingzhi to promote the education of love. Teacher's love is love with educational purpose, through which educational effect can be obtained. Children are immature and naive, and their thoughts and behaviors need our careful care. Loving children can create a harmonious, warm and cordial relationship between teachers and students. In this relationship, students will not only enjoy learning, but also fully develop their personality and form positive emotions, which is the psychological basis for the formation of creative ability.
After reading Mr. Tao Xingzhi's article, I feel that it is Mr. Tao Xingzhi who has a broad and selfless love, which makes me realize that to be a good teacher, we should not only love our career, but also love our children. Love is the source of teaching and educating people. We should open the door of love and accept every child with love.
Watching Appreciate Your Classmates has a feeling that there is a high school girl who gets up at 5: 30 every day, goes to school after 6: 00, and does her homework after dinner until late at night. But one day, the girl suddenly said to her father, "My math teacher says I have no math mind!" " "My father was furious, but he kept silent. Until one day, my daughter said to her father, "Dad, I'm tired of learning ..." So the shocked father changed an educational environment for her daughter. When her daughter first came into contact with French, her French teacher praised her for her talent for languages. The math teacher said that she could "solve math problems gracefully and creatively"; What is even more surprising is that her English teacher actually wrote in the recommendation letter: "I promise her with my life." "We shouldn't doubt this for a second." The instructor wrote, "Please give us 20 more students like Stephen!" Shocked, the father asked his daughter, "You will never forget this evaluation, will you?" The daughter replied loudly: "Yes!"
This is a well-known story in Appreciating Your Students. This book was published in June, 20xx, and it was printed again in just two years, which was in short supply. "New Century Education Library" listed it in 100 books recommended by teachers, and many places regard it as a must-read book for teacher training. Students of Guangxi University donated money to buy it as gifts for teachers in 16 poor areas, and China Education Daily, China Teachers' Daily, education websites and other media often read reports about the book. What attracted everyone's attention? What makes it have a wide influence in education?
Appreciation is fraternity.
From different examples, we can show our love for students-no matter whether their academic performance is excellent or not, whether their families are rich or poor, no matter what evaluation teachers have given them ... when they become your students, they all draw an equal sign. You must tolerate their shortcomings, mistakes, bad habits and uneven academic performance ... As the saying goes, "gold is not enough, no one is perfect." Besides, they are children. When students encounter difficulties in making mistakes, they need help, and teachers are often the objects they want to get help most. I often hear parents say, "A word from your teacher is worth ten words from us." This shows that students' trust in teachers is infinite. Therefore, we should appear as equals, put ourselves in the students' shoes and help them correct their mistakes and overcome difficulties.
A good word warms three winters, and a bad word hurts June. Teachers are with children every day, and students' spiritual world is colorful. Teachers should pay special attention to language art in communication with students, that is, language should be attractive, human and interesting, and rational at the same time.
1, encourage students to be more confident.
Hongwei is a poor student. I have never taken the initiative to see him raise his hand since he took over. The quatrains of ancient poetry in that class may be influenced by the strong learning atmosphere in the class. When he saw his classmates raise their hands to take part in the recitation contest, I found that he hesitated to raise his hands. I seized the opportunity and called him without hesitation. He stood up timidly and was at a loss. I gently encouraged him to say, "You can bravely raise your hand today, and the teacher is happy for you. Don't be nervous, prepare well, and the teachers will wait patiently. " . "He looked up and recited:" Two orioles sang green willows and a row of egrets flew into the sky. "Then I just heard" Luo, Luo, Luo ... "It sounded like urging pigs to eat, and all the students burst into laughter. He looked down and blushed. To tell the truth, I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't help it. I immediately asked the students to give him warm applause and guide them to evaluate his performance. Finally, the students unanimously demanded that he be awarded a "Red Flower Award" with the most emotion, expression and action reading because of his progress. I also took the opportunity to encourage: "In the eyes of teachers, you are all eloquent students. I believe that in the future class, more students will stand up and speak bravely like strong men. "Since then, I have found that grandeur has changed and I have become more confident. Seeing his little hand held high in class, his language expression ability is getting stronger and stronger, especially his small eyes are full of confidence and joy. .
2, with a little humor, so that students are willing to accept.
Students are lively and lack self-control, and there are always some bad habits that cannot be changed. As a teacher, we should be strict with such students, but we must not blindly blame them. How to express it to make students willing to accept and correct their mistakes? This requires teachers to pay attention to language art.
CoCo Lee is a very clever little girl, but she has a very bad habit: once she has leisure, especially in class, she tears her fingernails hard, resulting in ten bare fingers and even bleeding. This not only affects learning efficiency, but also is not conducive to health. Once, during the break, she began to tear her nails in her seat alone. I went over to hold her hand gently, and then said in a model nail tone, "It seems that we are tortured every day." Not only we, but also the little fingers of our good friends, they are more painful than us and even bleed. We really envy other people's nails, which are always so clean and beautifully trimmed. It seems that we need to find another young master who cares about us. "Just as the bell rang, I said," Class is over, and the master's old habit has been broken again. Let's run! " "At this moment, I found that she smiled shyly. Since then, I have never seen her tear her fingernails. This class has paid a lot of attention, and her study has made progress. It can be seen that the teacher's language is reasonable, interesting and reasonable, which will definitely untie the students' hearts.
Only in this way can students "get close to teachers and trust their methods". Only by winning the trust and love of students can our education and teaching work achieve better results.
Appreciation is touching.
From the cases in Appreciating Your Students, we can know that those successful people have one thing in common: being appreciated by teachers and using it as their motivation to work towards their goals. "Stephen" in the article "I guarantee that she will walk with me with her life" —— a student who is considered by teacher China to have no mathematical mind, has become a "mathematical genius" in France, which includes both the teacher's concern for students' life, considerate mind and inspirational words, and the sublimation of students' own ideological understanding. Just like a chemical reaction, the teacher's appreciation is the catalyst, and the reaction itself is the student.
Appreciation is an art interpreted by life.
The expert in Appreciating Your Students said: "Communication and understanding between people are very important. Only by being good at understanding life can we truly understand children. " To understand students, we should treat them as an independent personality, talk to children on an equal footing, be kind to every life, and help them build their confidence with sincerity. To achieve this state, it is not achieved overnight. It requires us to constantly explore and practice-try to understand every student, try to understand what students need, and what ways and methods are acceptable to them ... In the long-term work practice, we will form our own skills and even form a personality charm. "Let Children Get rid of Nightmares" writes that Teacher Li Shengzhen has treated many "problem children", and her success is the embodiment of the art of education and teaching and the charm of personality-to understand and love another life with her own life.
Dialectical appreciation view.
The students we face have different personalities, different life experiences and unique thinking ... we can't expect our appreciation to achieve the expected effect on everyone. We don't have to be upset because we didn't think of the agreement to raise our left hand and right hand, nor can we be satisfied with a few compliments or a few red flowers. We should adopt different ways and methods according to the actual situation. His success was not only encouraged by his mother, but also strictly demanded by his father. So we should treat appreciation dialectically.
A successful teacher always praises children's language generously. This truth is generally understood, but in practice, there are often many criticisms and accusations against children, and some even think that only accusations can be called "management" of children. This is completely wrong. Although the children are young, they are all self-motivated and like praise from others. When they do good deeds or make little progress, even if it is insignificant, we should give them timely encouragement and support, let them realize the joy and fun of success and let them take the first step on the road to success. Psychological research shows that if a child wins in various activities at an early age and is often close to and praised by teachers and parents, then his academic performance is mostly excellent. As a front-line teacher, I am not perfect and can't be perfect, but I will try to do better. For example, as long as students answer my questions loudly and completely in class, I will say, "Son, you are great!" " "
A talented conductor can make the singers who shoot in the choir produce the most beautiful timbre; A knowledgeable general can turn the most stubborn soldiers into the bravest soldiers; Talented Bole, a sick horse can see thousands of miles; A knowledgeable teacher can turn every student into a wizard! "Appreciation has great educational charm. This made Carl a little demented when he was a child. Witt became familiar with six languages at the age of xxx, and was awarded a doctorate in philosophy at the age of 14, and a doctorate in law at the age of 16, becoming an academic wizard of law professors at Berlin University. Will Helen be blind and deaf? Keller was trained as a "world angel" and one of the top ten hero idols in the 20th century in America. It made Zhou Zhou, whose IQ is only 30% of that of healthy people, climb the podium in poly theatre. I still appreciate it. Zhou Tingting, who was deaf at the age of one and a half, can recognize more than 20xx Chinese characters at the age of six, recite the digits after the decimal point of pi at the age of eight, publish 60,000-word science fiction fairy tales at the age of 1 0, complete all the courses in primary and secondary schools in nine years, and become the first disabled young college student in China at the age of 16.
Appreciation has a miraculous effect; But appreciation is not mysterious. How can appreciation education achieve such amazing results? Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, Lozanov's, Freud's and Pavlov's research on human's implied psychology, Rosenthal's expectation effect experiment, and Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences have long revealed to us the educational charm hidden by praise, appreciation and suggestion and the basis of their success from different angles. So, does this mean that appreciation education is a profound knowledge? No, when you finish reading Appreciating Your Students, you will find that appreciation can actually be as simple as that. It may be a sentence "I hope you are my daughter" and "I know you will be the governor of new york in the future", that is, touching the child's head and holding the student's hand, that is, pushing the students who are not confident to the starting line of the lake race, or even a sentence "If you can get into college, there will be no illiteracy in the world". A warm word, a caressing action, and an opportunity to show often contain appreciation, which can vividly express your appreciation.
