This means that as a teacher, when facing students, "affirmation, respect, understanding, encouragement and praise" should be integrated into your blood, become a part of your body, and be reflected and illuminated at the first time when facing students, so as to have real life education. It's just that these ideas have become our heartfelt beliefs and beliefs. Whenever and wherever, we should do what is in our hearts. Although you don't have to "spit lotus flowers", you really can't "hurt people".
Teacher Zhang said: We often think too much and are "stupid" too little. We pay too much attention to the results but can't enjoy the process, and affirm the meaning of the process itself to life. That's how we often become both inferior and utilitarian.
I think "stupidity" here is a kind of persistence. If you don't persist, or persist for a long time, you will feel that it may have a bad influence. Another possibility is that too few people insist or are "stupid". Too much utilitarianism, self-righteousness and lack of support are all reasons, but as knife elder brother said, "a local spring can be created". Why can't I be the master of my own site and manage my own land? So what is utility? Strong spiritual support comes more from one's own heart. Only when a person has figured it out and straightened it out can he persist in being "stupid" until the end, because we firmly believe that education itself is like this.
In the 2007 "Courage of Education" speech, Mr. Zhang talked about a phenomenon: the principal was restless, all the teachers took action, and there was a general mobilization once a week.
I want to say that this scene before 12 years still exists after 12 years, but it is not once a week. Now it has become an activity and a drill in the school. Fortunately, it is only responsible for publishing documents and collecting information. This normal state is determined by the national conditions, and no one can change it in a short time, so let it be.
? Teacher Zhang mentioned in The Truth of Effective Teaching that Boyer, a famous contemporary American educator, said: "When the number of students exceeds 30, the teacher's attention center changes from focusing on individuals to controlling classes."
Take our place as an example. The number of primary school students in the village has dropped sharply, and there are not many students in the largest class. But many of our teachers still complain that students can't do this and that. Why? Because he only wants to control students and ignores the democracy of education, which is a real pity for the existing good resources. As teacher Zhang said, "I believe the little one is really good, beautiful and human." I feel the same way, because human energy is limited after all. Wouldn't it be better to implement your educational practice and realize your educational ideal with fewer people? When your ability is not enough to support your educational ideal, you might as well start with educational practice. Therefore, small is also good. On the other hand, small is a fulfillment of education.
Speaking of the evaluation of effective teaching, Teacher Zhang told a story: Einstein's parents went to the dean and told him that my child 10 was old, and the dean "comforted" you not to worry. Although your children can't do good things, they can't do bad things. In fact, what he means is that the child is basically an idiot.
Following this story, Mr. Zhang warned us that the present evaluation is easy to get, and the historical evaluation is difficult. This tells us that we should not rush to give students an evaluation and draw conclusions, let alone draw the inhuman conclusion of "killing with one hammer". Remember the diversity and possibilities of children's development. Isn't there a saying that "when God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you"? The window is higher than the door. When he (she) grows up, he (she) will naturally go to the windowsill, open the plug, push open the window and see the scenery outside. All we have to do is care and wait patiently, waiting for that beautiful moment, even if there is no beautiful moment, it doesn't matter, because the process of waiting and caring is a hopeful process. Is there anything more beautiful than this? Enjoying the beautiful process of educating people is the best fulfillment of one's educational career. 201710/October 26th, the article "If I am a primary school Chinese teacher again! Nowadays, many of our practices, euphemistically called' cultivating study habits', are aimed at strengthening students' ability of not talking nonsense, not moving around and being obedient ... These are the worst habits-there is no worse study habit than restricting children's mouths and hands, which is the most common way for adults to impose tyranny on children. "Teacher Yu also said," If I go back to education, I will treat students as friends, and I won't even call them "children"-calling them children means that I am an elder, and "equality" will not exist. "Teacher Yu emphasizes democracy, respect, equality and heartfelt love in education. With the inculcation of our predecessors, why take a detour and not start from now on? Maybe you have already started, so don't stop. Every tiny persistence will inevitably affect the change of educational ecology to a greater or lesser extent. Perhaps our persistence is like a circular decimal, infinitely close to the ideal but unable to reach it, which is much stronger than drifting away.
