When vocational education is paid more and more attention by the society, the situation of teachers is the most important to the principals of vocational schools. In recent years, Shaoxing Vocational Education Center in Zhejiang Province has taken effective measures to pay close attention to the construction of teachers and achieved remarkable results-

Teachers become the most beautiful business cards of the school.

In Shaoxing Vocational Education Center, Zhejiang Province, the reporter saw a set of figures: 17 1 full-time teachers, except 1 full-time teachers who are over 55 years old and graduated from junior college, all of them are undergraduate degrees, with a qualified rate of 99.4%; Among the professional teachers, 87% have professional skill level above senior engineer, including 33 with intermediate titles such as engineer and technician, 5 with senior technician title, and 16 teachers are examiners of various professional skill level certificates. The insiders know at a glance that it is not a day's work for a teacher in a secondary vocational school to reach this level.

No matter whether children go to vocational schools or not, what ordinary people see is the faculty.

In recent years, with the implementation of the strategy of "building a strong economic city, a famous cultural city and a big tourist city", Shaoxing's economic situation is getting better and better, and there is a great demand for skilled talents. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, the city needs more than 40,000 skilled personnel every year, including more than 5,000 highly skilled personnel. On the one hand, there is a great demand for skilled talents, on the other hand, local people are unwilling to send their children to vocational schools. Faced with this situation, Shaoxing Vocational Education Center has long planned. Lou Jianer, the principal, said: "People let their children go to vocational schools, and what they see is the strength of teachers, which is related to whether their children have a future after graduation from here." Therefore, as early as 2003, the school issued "Several Opinions on Strengthening the Construction of School Teachers", which established a framework for the construction of teachers' team based on the quality of all teachers reaching the standard, focusing on cultivating famous backbone teachers, and focusing on strengthening teachers' professional skills and improving teachers' scientific research ability, and made some hard and fast regulations. For example, teachers under the age of 50 must achieve qualified academic qualifications, otherwise junior teachers are not allowed to engage in teaching, and the salary coefficient of middle and senior teachers drops by one grade. As a result of these regulations, the qualified rate of the whole school 17 1 full-time teachers reached 99.4%.

Due to the expansion of the school scale, nearly 40 new teachers have entered the school in recent years. How to bring this team well, the school leaders have taken great pains. The teaching supervision team composed of school leaders, special-grade teachers and some senior teachers pays more attention to the classroom teaching of new teachers while supervising the whole school. Old teachers "pass on, help and guide" new teachers by "passing on and helping", and guide new teachers to design courseware and prepare lessons one by one by following classes, so as to correct the shortcomings in their work in time. These measures have effectively promoted the overall improvement of teachers' teaching skills and comprehensive quality. It is a good proof that teachers frequently win prizes in various competitions. Teacher Dai Zhimin won the first prize in the "Xingjiao Cup" national Chinese teaching design competition for secondary vocational schools; Teacher Feng Haiyan won the first prize in the national teaching plan design and speech contest for computer major in secondary vocational schools. In the second teacher basic skills competition held by municipal schools, the school won the first place in the vocational school group, and 20 of the 24 participating teachers won the prize. With such a team of teachers, the attraction of the school is self-evident.

Let teachers "get into the water" and master professional skills.

During the National Day holiday this year, Wang Beifang, a tourism professional teacher at Shaoxing Vocational Education Center, didn't rest for a day. At that time, she took a complicated tour group as a tour guide in Guilin. This group consists of six families, old and young, and it is difficult to bring up. However, Wang Beifang, who had many practical experiences, was praised when he bid farewell to the members of the tour group. Wang Beifang said that she was very happy to be praised by tourists, but what excites her even more is that the experience accumulated from it can enrich her teaching content and benefit students.

It has become a system of this school to go to enterprises in northern Rainbow for internship and training on a regular basis. The school requires professional teachers to practice in enterprises or production services for one month every year, and a few backbone teachers work in enterprises for two days a week; At the same time, a "double-qualified" teacher training base will be established, and teachers will be sent to counterpart enterprises for short-term exercise to improve their professional skills. The school requires professional teachers to obtain professional and technical grade certificates through professional assessment. At present, in addition to the fine arts major, there are 62 professional teachers in the school, 54 of whom have obtained the vocational skill level certificate of senior engineer or above.

Many professional teachers in the school have a good reputation in the industry. Six teachers were rated as technical experts in Zhejiang Province; He Jianshui, a culinary professional teacher, was named as a China culinary master; Ding, a tourism professional teacher, was awarded the title of professional skill leader, tour guide and top ten outstanding young professionals in Zhejiang Province by the Provincial Tourism Bureau. Zhou, a teacher majoring in mechanical and electrical engineering, was rated as an expert in economic and technological innovation in Zhejiang Province. In the recent network skills competition for teachers in Zhejiang secondary vocational schools, three computer teachers in the school swept the top three again.

Everything is for the students, and the teachers here are very satisfied.

"After studying in Shaoxing Vocational Education Center for three years, I have mastered the knowledge, learned the skills and understood the truth of being a man." Zheng Xiaoyun, the 27-year-old assistant director of Shenyuan Scenic Area Management Office, was full of gratitude to the school when he said this. It can be seen that she has no regrets about choosing vocational schools after graduating from junior high school. Like Zheng Xiaoyun, Wang Min, a sophomore, expressed the same idea. She said that when she failed in the senior high school entrance examination, she chose the vocational education center. At the beginning of school, she was full of inferiority complex and didn't know what to do in the future. It was the school teacher who rekindled hope in her heart. Now, she has excellent academic performance and obtained a tour guide certificate in advance.

"Students-oriented, all-round development of students-oriented". In Shaoxing Vocational Education Center, people often use this sentence to interpret students' dominant position. The school has a spiritual website where students can frankly talk about their confusion in interpersonal communication, their troubles in adolescence, their troubles in study and employment.

It's not easy to be a class teacher here. They must attend special training and learn advanced educational concepts and methods. The school also often invites outstanding class teachers to introduce their experiences, vigorously publicize the advanced deeds of outstanding teachers who have made outstanding achievements in teaching posts and educating people, and carry out the selection of the top ten class teachers in the school for three consecutive years. Faced with these, which class teacher can relax?

At the same time, the school insists on carrying out special training activities on teachers' morality every year, promoting the system of teachers' morality, taking the assessment of teachers' morality as an important part of the annual assessment of teachers, and carrying out student-friendly education among teachers to promote the all-round development of all students. All these have laid a solid foundation for the construction of school teachers.
