Teachers are the main force in implementing quality education, and building a high-quality and high-quality teaching team is the key to promoting quality education. Teachers shoulder the important mission of cultivating cross-century architectural talents. To cultivate students' innovative spirit and practical ability, teachers' quality and ability are very important. Combined with the reality of our school, this paper puts forward three spirits of truly qualified teachers: the professionalism of loving teaching, school and students, the professionalism of being knowledgeable, good at teaching and interested in research, the professionalism of being diligent in learning, good at work and skilled in skills, and strengthening the improvement of teachers' three branches, namely, behavioral education, cultural literacy and moral cultivation. Starting with cultivating high-quality teams, we should do a good job in learning, practicing and researching.
study The first is to learn from books. Encourage teachers to participate in various business research. Twenty-two people have participated in undergraduate studies, and two people have been admitted to graduate schools. The school gives the green light in financial resources, material resources and time to ensure the learning effect. The school also paid tens of thousands of yuan to subscribe to hundreds of newspapers and magazines for teachers and bought national and provincial videos for teachers to learn. Secondly, learn from others. On the one hand, on the principle of going out to study, please come in and talk. Every semester, teachers are organized to go out to participate in various trainings at or above the municipal level, and experts from Beijing, provinces and cities are invited to teach at the school. On the other hand, mutual learning activities are carried out among teachers in the school, and it is stipulated that newly transferred teachers should have classes before class, and newly assigned college students must take ordinary classes one year later. Anyone who has won the second prize of the city and district evaluation class and above must have a demonstration class at school. Third, learn from students and carry out teacher evaluation and student evaluation activities in all grades and disciplines. Students are often asked to help teachers improve their work through psychological dialogue.
practice Teachers are mainly required to practice basic skills. (1) Strengthen the training of basic teaching skills. Carry out six basic skills training activities in the whole school, and carry out sub-section and sub-section assessment to achieve everyone's pass. (2) Practicing language skills, demonstration skills, questioning skills, concept explanation skills, blackboard writing skills and teaching attitude change skills has generally improved teachers' ability to master teaching materials and practical teaching. (3) Modern teaching methods training, so that every teacher can skillfully use tape recorders, video recorders, projectors, computers for education and teaching activities.
Research. The school has set up a teaching research room, focusing on teaching research, and all grade groups, teaching and research sections and lesson preparation groups also carry out in-depth educational research according to the actual undergraduate teaching. We also stipulate that each person should write at least two teaching papers and articles about his experience every semester, and the school will exchange and reward valuable research results every year.
Due to paying attention to the construction of teaching staff all the year round and constantly creating an atmosphere of education and scientific research, the overall quality of teachers in our school has been significantly improved, and a number of outstanding teachers have emerged. Five people won the title of excellent teachers at the provincial and municipal levels, two people won the title of top-notch cross-century youth in the city, and four people won the title of excellent courses at the municipal level.
Second, do a good job in teaching reform and strengthen the main position of quality education.
Teaching reform is the core of implementing quality education, and the central link of teaching reform is classroom teaching reform.
1. Standardize classroom teaching around quality education.
Implement the three words of learning, thinking and happiness. According to the requirements of quality education, the school optimizes classroom teaching to make the classroom atmosphere relaxed. Fully implement the words "learning, thinking and happiness" in classroom teaching. That is, highlight a learning word, so that students can change from learning to cultivating students' learning; Highlight the thinking of one word, so that students can change from learning to answering to cultivating students' knowledge; Highlight the word "music", so that students can change what I want to learn into the fun I want to learn, thus mobilizing students' enthusiasm for learning.
Teaching should revolve around six principles. According to the requirements of quality education and the classroom practice of teachers in various subjects, six principles of classroom teaching are formulated. First, create a relaxed and harmonious learning environment for students and establish a democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students; The second is to encourage students to question and ask difficult questions; Third, encourage students to think differently and divergently; The fourth is to allow students to be whimsical and encourage students to make comprehensive induction; The fifth is to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and give full play to the potential of each student; The sixth is to arrange creative homework for students and provide them with a creative stage.
Classroom teaching should adhere to three inaccuracies. In other words, the teacher usually does not lecture for more than 25 minutes in each class, and is not allowed to read books or extinguish the sparks of students' thinking.
2. Actively carry out subject teaching reform around the requirements of quality education.
According to different subjects and grades, focusing on the experimental activities to promote teaching and research results, such as mathematics attempt teaching method, Chinese holistic teaching method, composition training in college entrance examination and English context practice teaching method, the research and experiments on different teaching modes such as learning-oriented teaching, target-oriented teaching and heuristic teaching were carried out. Various disciplines are also reformed according to the requirements of quality education. The examination method of political course has been reformed, from simple examination paper to comprehensive evaluation of examination paper, ability and behavior. In Chinese composition teaching, guide students to experience and think positively. For example, before asking students to write an explanatory essay on jiaozi, let them go home and see how their parents do it. They can make dough, make stuffing, cook and practice by themselves, so that students can not only write high-quality compositions, but also realize the hardships of labor from the process of writing jiaozi, so that they are willing to be parents' little helpers at home and enhance their labor concept. Physics teaching insists on students' autonomous learning. The teaching of classroom knowledge is generally based on setting questions, scenarios, independent discussion and classroom operation, and teachers only organize, guide and solve doubts.
3. Pay attention to quality education, optimize teaching rules and cultivate innovative thinking.
The process of teaching students to learn is the process of creative teaching. In the process of teaching, we ask teachers to respect students' personalities, acknowledge people's interests and diversity of personalities, and carry out creative teaching activities on this basis, so that each student can learn actively, vividly and lively under the guidance of teachers, so as to give full play to their creative potential and achieve the purpose of applying what they have learned.
For example, in junior high school mathematics teaching, in order to cultivate students' creative thinking, three methods are adopted: First, let students jump up and reach out. In the case that students have mastered the basic knowledge, in order to make top students have enough to eat, at the end of a class or unit practice, students are asked some difficult thinking questions, so that students can creatively apply knowledge and discover new methods through observation and thinking, thus training students' creative thinking. Thinking questions should be more difficult, and students can achieve it by working hard on the basis of their original knowledge. The second is to attach importance to cultivating students' reverse thinking. Cultivating students' reverse thinking plays an extremely important role in cultivating students' creative thinking ability. Through association, students' memory of existing knowledge can be aroused, which is helpful for students to know new things and produce new ideas. The third is to ask questions and encourage creativity. Asking questions and asking difficult questions is the beginning of exploring knowledge and finding problems. Every class pays attention to cultivating students to dare to ask questions and be good at asking questions. For example, one task of grade one is to encourage students to answer questions loudly in public, and the second is to encourage students to dare to put forward their own different opinions. In this classroom atmosphere, students' creativity is gradually released.
4. Carry out colorful second class activities around quality education.
The biggest feature of quality education is comprehensive education, which enables students to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and laboriously. At the same time, cultivate students' personal interests and let them learn well. Our school has always started the whole course according to the curriculum plan, and the starting rate of ideological and moral, physical education, music, fine arts, labor technology and other courses has always maintained 100%. In order to create an educational environment for students to show their personal characteristics, the school has set up a second class, which will lay the foundation for the first class and train talents for the second class. In order to ensure the development of the second classroom, the extracurricular activity group has achieved three fixings and six implementations, namely, fixed time, place and guidance of teachers; Implement teachers, venues, contents, time, equipment and funds. The school also invested in the construction of a new seven-function technology laboratory and an open chemistry laboratory, built a reading room that can accommodate 200 students at the same time, set up a geographical corridor and a biological park, and set up a school newspaper and a campus voice broadcasting station. Biology interest group, math olympiad class, English listening, speaking, reading and writing intensive class, microcomputer class, model airplane science and technology group, environmental protection green team, physical and chemical competition group, trinity activity group, art class, sports team, etc. They have been established one after another, enriching students' after-school life and improving their comprehensive quality.
5. Pay attention to quality education and update teaching methods.
In the process of promoting quality education curriculum, it is very important to introduce advanced teaching methods into the teaching field in addition to updating concepts. The modernization of audio-visual teaching technology determines its important role in quality education curriculum, especially in creating educational environment, stimulating learning interest and cultivating students' ability. In the past two years, the school invested 6.5438+0.8 million yuan to build a five-story high school teaching building of 654.38+0.973 square meters, and invested 6.5438+0.3 million yuan to equip various laboratories of 654.38+0.999. It is equipped with 1 first-class ground exhaust chemistry laboratory, 1 general chemistry laboratory, 1 updated chemistry instrument room, 1 multifunctional physics laboratory, 1 first-class multimedia computer room, 60 installed machines, 64 multimedia language laboratories and 1 seven-function technology laboratory. Invest10.4 million yuan to build a large-screen platform for audio-visual education.
Third, pay attention to moral education and enrich the connotation of quality education.
1. Put moral education into the track of scientific research.
The school has set up a moral education leading group with the vice president as the leader, the director of the Political and Educational Affairs Office and the secretary of the Youth League Committee as the deputy leader, and the backbone of moral education as members. In order to highlight the effect of moral education, a moral education research room composed of teachers such as psychology and pedagogy was set up to conduct special research on the moral education topics selected by the school. The sub-topics of the Ninth Five-Year Plan national key project "Research and experience of the overall moral education system construction in schools" and "Experimental research on the cultivation of middle school students' creative ability" undertaken by our school, after full preparation, put forward a feasible experimental scheme, and held a grand opening meeting of moral education research in our school on February 1999. In order to improve teachers' awareness of moral education research, an annual moral education experience exchange meeting and excellent moral education thesis selection activities are organized to make moral education work on a scientific and standardized track.
2. Strengthen the construction of moral education cadres.
Every summer, a class teacher training class is held and education experts are invited to teach. More than 60% teachers are organized to go out to participate in various learning, training and seminar activities every semester. The school also ordered a variety of moral education reference materials such as Head Teacher, Moral Education Daily, Moral Education Information, Friends of the Head Teacher and Selected Works of Wei Shusheng for teachers to learn, which greatly improved the working ability and theoretical level of moral educators.
3. Strengthen the construction of moral education base.
In the construction of off-campus environment, we have established four moral education bases. (1) North China Martyrs Cemetery, a traditional education base for learning heroes and heroes. Every year, Tomb-Sweeping Day organizes students to sweep graves and pay homage to revolutionary martyrs. Students held theme classes and team meetings in a solemn atmosphere and took the oath of joining the league, which played an unforgettable educational role. (2) Learn from Lei Feng's moral education base-Shijiazhuang Social Welfare Institute. The Youth League Committee organizes students to take branches and squadrons as units. Volunteer in the welfare home on Sunday, showing sympathy and love to the elderly and disabled children. A system of one school, one hospital, one class and one household has been formed, which greatly enhances students' sense of social responsibility. (3) Xue Jun base-the seventh division, army college and staff college. Every year, freshmen and sophomores enter the school, and sophomores are dragged into the barracks for 7- 10 days of closed military training. In military training, students' tenacious will, resolute style and strict discipline are cultivated, and their abilities of self-care, self-reliance and self-improvement are exercised. (4) Agricultural base-Shangzhuang Town, Luquan City. 65438-0994 Our school established a hand-in-hand blind date activity with Shangzhuang Town, Luquan City.
4. Run a good parent school and improve the quality of parents.
In order to solve the problems that parents want to teach but can't teach, there is no standard for teaching, and teaching is illegal, improve the quality of parents, improve the quality of family education, and make family education and school education in harmony. In addition to holding regular parent-teacher conferences, home visits by class teachers and inviting individual parents to discuss educational methods, our school also held parent-teacher conferences after the summer semester of 1998. Parents' schools either invite experts and professors to talk, or invite experienced teachers to talk, or concentrate on teaching, or exchange experiences, with various forms and good results.
5. Moral education should pay attention to three combinations.
(1) Combining management by objectives with comprehensive evaluation
The school has set up a leading group for moral education and implemented management by objectives. All departments work together, make concerted efforts, perform their duties, conscientiously implement the Outline of Moral Education for Middle Schools, the Code for Students and the Code of Daily Behavior for Middle School Students, and formulate the Instructions for Middle School Students (4 1), the Regulations on Rewards and Punishment for Middle School Students (4 1) and the Rotation Value System for Civilized Behavior Supervision of Young Volunteers. In addition, the school has also formulated various rules and regulations, such as "Class Construction Standard Scheme" and "Mobile Red Flag Appraisal System". On this basis, combined with the actual situation, a set of quantitative work management system has been formulated. Make moral education management have laws to follow and rules to follow. At the end of the semester, according to the above regulations, students first make self-evaluation, group evaluation and class evaluation, and then the class teacher and the school moral education leading group make comprehensive evaluation according to their performance, so as to make moral education concrete and quantitative.
(2) The combination of conventional education and typical education.
While doing a good job in class meetings, grade meetings, school meetings, league meetings, flag-raising and party classes, we should actively carry out typical education with the focus on building healthy atmosphere, learning from typical examples, stressing life and dedication. The school combines students' psychology and psychological characteristics, uses local materials and introduces typical life figures around students. Jay Song, a junior one student, found 8,000 yuan in passbook and 3,000 yuan in cash, and tried his best to find the owner. Zhao Yan Evening News reported his deeds. As soon as the article was published in the newspaper, the school immediately issued an initiative to all students to carry out activities to learn from people around them.
(3) Combination of positive education and negative education.
Since 1997, the school has established an amateur party school. In this way, the moral education of ordinary citizens has risen to the cultivation of the party's basic knowledge, basic theoretical education and political quality. There is an upsurge of studying party constitution and listening to party classes on campus. In the past, students cared about and attached importance to test scores and rankings, and were proud to participate in party school study. Due to the shortage of supply, the number of students enrolled in party schools can only be limited to three per class, so every time I attend a party class, in addition to the officially admitted students, there are many students who come quietly. Finally, after examination, 300 people were allowed to graduate after reaching the standard of qualified students. After graduation, 40 people wrote an application for joining the Party, 30 people were rated as outstanding student cadres in provincial and municipal schools, and 5 1 person was rated as three excellent students. Comrade Zhang Lin became party member, the first student in qiaoxi district, and party member, the only student in qiaoxi district. In addition to commending outstanding students and outstanding class (group) cadres, the school also commends collectives and individuals who have made contributions, made progress or won competition prizes from class to grade, and let them be on the red list and wear red flowers. Every academic year, a model code of conduct is selected in each class, and the story is printed with photos and published on the publicity column. Within this range, the top ten teenagers and top ten youths are selected according to their ages and rewarded respectively.
The proper combination of positive education and negative education can enable students to distinguish truth, goodness, beauty, falsehood, evil and ugliness, recognize their own essence and standardize their behavior. In response to many uncivilized behaviors, we launched a bid farewell to uncivilized behaviors. Let the students point out uncivilized behavior through observation, discuss and criticize, and determine the standard of correct behavior. The whole process itself is a process of reconstruction of ideological and moral quality and sublimation of re-understanding. This process can avoid blindly emphasizing positive education to make students have rebellious psychology, and can make full use of their psychological plasticity, hatred and hatred for diseases, and sense of justice to cultivate ideological and moral quality.
