1, with a positive and optimistic attitude.
The main sign of a happy teacher lies in his mentality. If a teacher faces life positively and optimistically, accepts the challenge of teaching work optimistically and handles the complicated teaching situation, he can enjoy the happiness brought by his work! For this, I have personal experience:
I remember one time, in Chinese class, students were asked to read a long text together, but they didn't finish reading a paragraph, only to listen to their long notes, and their voices were getting lower and lower, and they had no spirit at all. I couldn't listen any longer and shouted angrily, "Stop it!" , began to scold them. I saw them all with their heads down, as if they were numbly receiving what they called "education of love". Seeing this scene, I felt a nameless anger rushing up. Perhaps the angrier I got, the more I didn't want to talk, so I asked my classmates to sit still for 10 minutes and reflect on what they had just read. I don't know what they are thinking in this 10 minute, but I try my best to calm myself down. Think about it: these children are all junior high school students, and they are rebellious to their parents and teachers in adolescence. No wonder they don't care about my storm of accusations. Fighting with such children will only make you boring and get no educational effect. Maybe after a class, the students have put this matter behind them. So, I want to simply change my reading style and see if my classmates will be interested. It's 10 minute. I put away my serious and angry face and said to them calmly, "I believe you have reflected on what just happened." If your future performance can satisfy me, then I will let bygones be bygones. How about it? " Suddenly, they had some spirit and asked curiously, "How to behave?" I said, "Race me to see who can read well". I saw them in high spirits, and many students raised their hands and shouted, "Me, me, me." . Soon, a class passed, and there were still a few paragraphs left, and the students actually asked to drag the class out. At this time, I am naturally very happy. I didn't expect my mood to directly affect students' interest in learning. Through this incident, I realized that when preparing to criticize students, I must learn to control my emotions and never let them affect my words and deeds. In fact, students love praise and are willing to show themselves in front of teachers. If teachers can become their competitors again, they will try their best to show themselves. Therefore, if teachers can make efforts to create a happy environment and try to walk into the classroom without emotion, then they can enter their colorful inner world, make students happy and let us find a window to make ourselves happy. This also makes me more convinced that "mentality determines everything". Speaking of which, I can't help but think of a story: a lady named Selma accompanied her husband in an army base in the desert. Her husband was ordered to go to the desert to exercise, and she stayed alone in the small tin house of the army. The weather is unbearable-in the shadow of cactus, the temperature is as high as Fahrenheit 125 degrees. She has no one to talk to-there are only Mexicans and Indians around, and they can't speak English. She was very sad, so she wrote to her parents and said that she would leave everything behind and go home. Her father's reply was only two lines, but these two lines remained in her heart forever, completely changing her life:
Two men looked out from the prison fence: one saw the dirt, the other saw the stars. When Selma read this letter again, she felt very ashamed. She decided to look for stars in the desert. Selma began to make friends with local people, and their reaction surprised her very much. She expressed interest in their textiles and pottery, so they gave her their favorite textiles and pottery, and they were reluctant to sell them to tourists. Selma studied the fascinating cactus, various desert plants and physical conditions, and also learned about the groundhog. She watched the sunset in the desert, looking for conch shells, which were left by the desert or the sea for tens of thousands of years ... The unbearable environment became an exciting and lingering miracle.
The desert has not changed, nor have the Indians, but Ms. Selma's thoughts and mentality have changed. A short-lived idea made her turn what she thought was a bad situation into the most meaningful adventure in her life. She was excited about discovering the new continent and wrote a book entitled Happy Castle. He looked out from the house he had built and finally saw the stars.
Perhaps, our teachers should also look for their own stars from their own space. The key to a teacher's happiness lies in his mentality. If you dominate your life with a positive attitude, you will always complete your teaching work with positive thinking, optimistic spirit and rich experience, and you will be successful and happy. If you dominate your life with a negative attitude, you will indulge in all kinds of failures and anxiety in the past, which will eventually lead to failure and fall into the pain of failure.
2. Be tolerant of students, appreciate them, and don't be stingy with the language you appreciate.
Having said that, I want to talk about a student I taught before: he is warm and generous and polite; Looks very cute, and the two small eyes on the round face are particularly charming, which makes people like it at first sight. However, he has always been my "headache" in my study. He often doesn't do his homework, and even if he does, he "tries to get things done". I tried to educate him in various ways: talking to him and asking my classmates for help; Invited his parents to school many times; He was also punished to rewrite his homework. But after two semesters, the children's performance in learning is still the same-they don't do their homework. Whenever this happens, my face will suddenly turn red, and I know I am angry inside. But once, he wrote a good diary. I praised him in class and praised his great potential for progress. I saw a little more smile on his face. In the evening, his mother called specially to express her thanks. I didn't expect a sentence that I didn't think was important to him or his parents. Yes, the desire to appreciate is the most lovely weakness of human nature and also the advantage of human nature. People in daily life are eager to be appreciated by others without exception, and so are children. They are eager for the care of their parents and teachers, and they are eager for understanding and tolerance. At this time, the child didn't do his homework and made a mistake. At this time, what they need most is the teacher's patient education and enlightenment. Only the teacher's earnest teaching and meticulous care can make such children realize their mistakes and let them learn from them. We can look at children from a developmental perspective. Dare to discover the advantages and successes of students and give them full affirmation. Give children sincere appreciation in a cheerful tone and let them realize their own value.
In addition, tolerance is a kind of tolerance. With the spirit of tolerance, students can be actively guided when they make mistakes, and there will be no excessive words or behaviors. This also makes children realize that the teacher is kind to him, which virtually promotes the harmony between teachers and students. Several students in the class are particularly naughty. It can be said: big things are not committed, and small things continue. Therefore, they became frequent visitors to the office. Maybe they are used to being criticized for a long time, and then they don't look ashamed every time they come to the office. A indifferent attitude makes me even more annoyed. Facing their mistakes also makes me despise them. Besides criticism, it is also criticism. Sometimes even if it is only a small problem, I will not lightly grasp it, but will use the harshest language to blame it. In my eyes, I can't stand the slightest mistake of these children. After each criticism, although they admit their mistakes, I know they are not really convinced. In fact, when they leave the office, I will also say to myself, isn't it just a little problem? As for losing your temper, is it very hurtful? I think they must hate me too. I tried hard to change my attitude towards them, but it was difficult to do so. Because I have lost an inclusive heart for them, I can't see their advantages, and it is difficult to change my attitude towards them. But then some of my views changed, and I also reflected on myself. I still remember when I was on maternity leave last year, three of these particularly naughty students came to see me. I was shocked at that time! At first, they were afraid to come into my house and wait downstairs. Let some obedient students ask me first: Do you want to let them in? Then he stood behind the other children with a red face and timidity. They said, I'm afraid I'll make them feel bad! Hearing this, I felt sad. Who knows, on weekdays, being a little more fierce and even annoying them will have such a great effect. But they didn't hate it and didn't take it to heart. At this point, they are like a different person, so obedient and so quiet, which makes me need to re-examine. This may be the embodiment of the child's lovely and simple side. Looking back, in fact, they are not useless. Maybe I usually ignore their bright spots and magnify their shortcomings. Invisible also suppressed their true side. Usually, if I can be more patient to guide them and give them more experience in correcting their mistakes, instead of dealing with problems with inherent prejudice. Maybe this will also give them more confidence to correct their mistakes.
There are often students who show excitement and gratitude when I intend to punish them but decide to give up punishment after repeated preaching. Looking at their excited expressions and sincere attitude of admitting mistakes, I am also relaxed and happy! Isn't this happy result exactly what education expects? Timely and moderate tolerance does not mean connivance. Faced with many problems, it may still be a good medicine. Can let us receive unexpected results. There is a good saying: all rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance. With a tolerant heart, I can get rid of many unnecessary troubles and grievances, get to know a student more comprehensively, and get some unexpected happiness from it. I think this is also the direction of my future efforts. Students are happy, teachers will be happy!
3. Love education, care about students and regard students as friends.
Loving education is essentially persistence and seriousness in work, including responsibility for work, responsibility for students and full of hope for students. Teachers who work like this will be very happy, and children like such happy teachers. It can bring them happiness, make them feel the beauty of life and the pleasure of learning, and realize the harmony between teachers and students at zero distance. In fact, teachers' concern for them in life and study will make them feel that they have trust and dependence in life and study. Therefore, when we pass on happiness and laughter to children, children are happy every day. Be a happy teacher, be happy with children, treat every child sincerely and become a trustworthy friend of children. I often look through the class photo album in the computer, and the familiar lens always makes me nostalgic. It was in the sixth grade, and the school organized students to go to Tongtianyan. Along the way, the students were in high spirits and kept talking to me. I sat among them and felt as if I had returned to my school days. When climbing the mountain, my classmates regard me as an opponent and try to compete with me from time to time. When I slowed down, some of them encouraged me and some came to shake my hand. I know the students don't regard me as a strict teacher in their class at this time. But that kind of fun is really unparalleled, and I like this feeling very much. ! It's time for a break, and little hands are scrambling to stuff snacks into my hands. I knew this was the happiest moment for the children, so I didn't refuse. This is not only a snack, but also the purest heart of students to teachers. I know that in such extracurricular activities, students will not care too much about the distance between teachers and students. For them, maybe they want me to be their friend, share happiness and experience happiness together. As a teacher, how can you be unhappy and unhappy in the face of these lovely friends?
4. Teachers' happiness comes from love.
Someone once explained the meaning of love in four sentences, saying: love is understanding, love is caring, love is respect, and love is responsibility. If you can treat your students according to this principle, you have mastered the true meaning of loving life. Yes! Teacher love is great and sacred. Teacher's love is one of the noblest emotions in human complex emotions, which embodies the spirit of selfless dedication of teachers and is "extraordinary" love. This kind of love has no blood source and affection, no self-interest and purpose, but it has great power. Even a small action, an encouraging look and a kind word can make children feel warm and love. When this kind of love returns to us in different ways, can't we also experience happiness from it? We will never forget the beautiful flowers on Teachers' Day, the warm greetings in festivals, the figure of being surrounded by children when we are unwell, the waves when we leave the campus in the afterglow of the sunset, and the fact that when we are depressed, there are always one or two cute and humorous children to drive away the troubles in your heart ... These pictures are common, but very touching. Maybe they have touched you and made you feel happy for being a teacher.
The teacher's happiness lies in the students, just like there are fish in the water and birds in the forest, especially seeing the students' progress bit by bit is enough for us to realize the happiness of successful education.
Watching childish faces become sensible, watching handwriting lines become sophisticated, watching them happily take back flying red flags and various awards, watching them concentrate on class and watching them play and chase, all these make us happy! Listen, "teacher, my child has made great progress recently, and our whole family is very happy." Thank you! " " ; Listening to "Teacher, how hard it is for you to take care of so many children. This one in my family makes me unbearable, and I don't know how to manage it." Are these words from my parents' hearts giving us more comfort when we are tired? Teachers are a poor and hard-working profession. The progress of students and the recognition of parents may be the greatest comfort to our work. This is our teacher's greatest wealth. In an educational book, I have seen such a sentence: "If you are happy, I am happy. I walked happily, and you helped me! You make me happy because I like being a teacher because of you! "This sentence made me deeply realize that it is a fulfilling teaching career to regard the happiness of students as the happiness of my life. What is left for students must also be self-confidence and love. Isn't that the teacher's happiness?
6. Keep reading consciousness as a teacher and make progress with students.
To be a teacher, you need to read books, newspapers and surf the Internet frequently to keep a fresh sense of the world, so as to urge yourself to keep thinking and not fall behind the students. You can also find some common topics with students from reading and enjoy the happiness of study and life together. I still remember the last time Liu Shan, a researcher in the Department of Language and Culture, came to the school for guidance and said: In many middle schools in Nanchang, students and teachers read the same work simultaneously. Students' enthusiasm is very high, and they are also invisible whips to teachers. After class, there are many topics between teachers and students at once. They discussed while reading, forming a strong atmosphere of reading and discussing books, sharing the fun of reading and growing together. Invisible also strengthened the teacher's personality charm and influence on students. How can you get this kind of fun at will?
In fact, happiness could have been very simple. Choose what we like and love what we choose. Keep a normal mind and enterprising spirit, and happiness lies in it. And happy work is also the best reward for yourself!
Dedication, love of work and happiness are the demeanor of contemporary teachers. Bai Juyi has a saying: "People are happy when they are happy", which shows that happiness is the companion of virtue. A teacher who advocates virtue will always get endless pleasure from the object of education. As a teacher, which one is not a pleasant life, "preaching, teaching and solving doubts"? A famous teacher said: "A teacher doesn't have to do anything earth-shattering in his life, but he should be like a lily, blooming like a flower and gathering together if it is real;" But he should be like a star, a lamp from a distance, and a fire from a distance! "With this poetic feeling and life, what can a husband ask for? Let's forget our troubles, dilute our gains and losses and work happily. Be a happy teacher-happiness makes people young! Happiness makes people beautiful! Happiness ennobles people!
