First, the school profile
Gaogang district Port Experimental School in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province, which we went to, is a new young school. It was completed in 20 14, covering an area of 125 mu, with a construction area of nearly 60,000 square meters. There are 2200 teachers and students in nine grades of junior high school and primary school. Its school-running philosophy is "Let us all shine", adhering to the spirit of "sincerity, wisdom and tolerance". Although it has not been established for a long time, it is also a budding school in Taizhou. The comprehensive evaluation of 20 16 and 20 17 is also in the forefront of gaogang district.
? Second, solid and meticulous teaching work.
? It is said that Jiangsu education is the most advanced education in China. As a frontline educator, I am more concerned about the normal teaching of frontline teachers. What I want to understand most is "why is there such a big gap between our education and theirs?" With this question, I am sitting in the office of the eighth grade Chinese group of Port Middle School. After more than ten days of observation, communication and study, I found the answer. That is, the difference is "meticulous" and the difference is "solid".
? Gao Gang attended classes 18, participated in collective lesson preparation twice, and had 1 campus activities. I was also lucky enough to attend a "Seminar on Chinese Teaching and Research in Junior Middle Schools in 9 Districts of 7 Provinces" held in Wuxi, with 8 lectures, 8 comments and 8 lectures. Whether it is a "seminar" of high-end atmosphere or an ordinary "ordinary class". The words "meticulous" and "solid" have been lingering in my mind.
The weekend homework given to children by the teachers in Port Middle School is in the form of test questions. Of course, the life system of the test questions must be closely linked with the test questions of the senior high school entrance examination. The training of students is particularly solid. The teacher's explanation in class is more detailed and solid. For example, under a mispronounced or misspelled pronunciation, the teacher will draw many homophones or synonyms for students to take notes. When it comes to a reading question, she will talk about the thinking of answering such questions, the skills of doing the questions and the way of using words. Maybe you will say, aren't we the same? Please don't forget that this is a senior one and a senior two student.
Teachers' new curriculum is more down-to-earth and pursues efficiency. Although Jiangnan people are gentle, they never drag their feet. She won't deliberately make her classroom more beautiful just because there are distant listeners sitting in the back row. Students are always the object of their concern. Teacher Shao's "Sun Quan Persuades Learning" section is very short. However, the teacher is solid and meticulous. She will let the children read in various ways and explore the vocabulary of classical Chinese more deeply and meticulously. Knowledge traction, accumulation and classification in the classroom. The children really understood and accumulated. Her class really confirmed what Teacher Sun Shaozhen said: "It is better to teach students the details that seem to be clear at a glance, but in fact they know nothing.".
These pictures are the accumulation notes of classical Chinese vocabulary and stylistic knowledge that my teacher asked me to record in class in the Chinese textbook for first-grade children. I was shocked to see that all the children in the class remembered this in their books. What our children only do in the third grade, the children here have done a lot in the first semester of the first grade. At least I feel sorry for myself. This may be the difference of ideas.
? Compared with us, Mr. Gao Gang's teaching of reading famous works is beyond our reach. The teaching of The Journey to the West, which Teacher Cui read aloud to junior one students, is like this. After the mid-term exam, two chapters will be arranged every day, and more chapters will be arranged on weekends, so that students can read practically. When reviewing, the teacher will give an outline to guide the students to implement it. Teacher Cui's comment is like this-please sort out the mountains, caves and ridges that Tang Priest and his disciples have experienced. What are the weapons of each monster, how did they come from, stories and so on. He will make you truly feel that your child has really read and read carefully. Teacher Fan, in the second day of junior high school, will let the children tell stories, give speeches, reproduce situations and judge people by themselves in the form of activities. Compared with our practice, many times it is just for arrangement, and the process and effect are basically overhead. But other people's practices, children have no chance not to learn.
The process of learning Chinese is actually a process of accumulation. How to help children do a good job of accumulation, teachers' practices are worth learning. Teacher Fan always has a few minutes of "American recommendation" before class. Every day, a child recommends a short passage of American literature (from extracurricular or famous works), so that students can talk about why it is recommended and where the beauty lies. Ask the students to talk about "What do you think is beautiful and how does it help you?" Recommendation is just a form, and it is important to have your own independent thinking in the process of talking about feelings. As time goes by, children not only develop their language skills, but also learn to think and read. ? Before each class of Teacher Cui, there is always a student reciting an ancient poem he has accumulated. Instead of reciting ancient poems in the third grade, it is better to divide tasks and internalize knowledge now. Almost every student has a dictation book in his hand, and the teacher corrects it by dictation in class. For important knowledge points, we must write them silently and strengthen training.
? The above pictures are the daily compositions of senior two students. The composition is not written in the composition book. From the beginning, I used the composition paper in the examination room, and the usual training was also based on the requirements of the composition for the senior high school entrance examination. This can also effectively prevent students from being afraid of writing in the examination room. It must be said that teachers are wise.
Teachers prepare lessons collectively, which seems to be casual. In fact, there are problems every time. During the final exam, the team leader will discuss the review strategy with you in detail. The review of senior one and senior two adopts the form of special topics, requiring one person to be responsible for a special topic. Organize and summarize the important knowledge points that students usually make mistakes and distribute them to students. Let's discuss the review content and teaching methods of key articles and important knowledge points. This review is targeted, targeted and effective.
Speaking of being solid and effective, we have to mention the activity of "7 provinces and 9 places junior high school Chinese teaching and research seminar" in Gushan Middle School, Jiangyin, Wuxi. The teachers discussed the teaching methods of the newly compiled textbooks in the second volume of the seventh grade. Although there are only two days to attend classes, evaluate classes and give lectures, it is still obvious to peek at the leopard in the tube. Their advanced teaching ideas and superb teaching art are nothing more than their profound and convincing research on the text.
what is love ? This is a sincere effort and careful plan. What I have listed above is only a little bit of their daily teaching. But it is in this kind of life that teachers' love and true feelings for students shine.
Third, people-oriented education management
Please don't think that education in Jiangsu is utilitarian and cruel. In fact, southerners pay more attention to "people-oriented". Please look at their school philosophy "Let us all shine" and school motto "Honesty, wisdom and tolerance". Children's Excellence is not only reflected in academic performance, but also in quality education. "Honesty, intelligence and tolerance for others" is his educational goal.
At the end of 20 17, it just happened to catch up with the theme exhibition of "Art Festival Exhibition and New Year Carnival" and "My Hat, My Festival" of Gaogang Experimental School. Children's waste recycling, there are classic plots, classic drama scenes, excellent articles and so on. As the content of the performance, everyone participated in the performance and gave a unique performance. Colorful hats, unique and creative costumes and lively stage effects fully demonstrate the children's rich imagination, flexible and skillful hands-on ability and impeccable performance ability.
? In addition to cultural performances, you can also see students' outstanding performance in theme class meetings everywhere. Whether it's keynote speech, story meeting, debate contest, handwritten newspaper or interest performance, it's all brilliant.
"People-oriented" education management is also reflected in the details of life.
This is an obscure carport in the corner of the campus. A movable tarpaulin is added on it, which can ensure the safety of teachers and students' transportation in stormy days.
This is a desk and chair for students. Please note that there are book columns under the children's desks and stools. In the inner wall of the classroom, a bookcase is also embedded to facilitate students to put books. Every classroom in the school will not look messy because of so many books piled up.
This is an order from President Jiang himself. In addition to the text, he also specially printed "Recent Weather in Gaogang" and "Surrounding Map" on the last two pages. Holding such an order book in hand, although it is cold, we, thousands of miles away, are more or less warm at the moment.
