"Education is an activity that makes people cultural and humanized, and establishes people's independent status and dominant position; Constantly awaken people's self-awareness and reflect on their own existence and society, so as to critically construct themselves and construct their ideal life schema; Activities that enable people to deal with the life world in which they live; Directly participate in students' construction of individual life and social life, and integrate into students' growth and life process; Activities that lead students to a possible life and have charm and a sense of life for students' life. "So, real education should lay a foundation for students' life, be responsible for students' future development, and take the development of human nature as the foundation. Education should always be thinking about and pursuing a sustainable road of survival and development, and be responsible for students' present and future. Schools must build platforms and ladders for students' personality development, instead of spending all their energy and obliterating students' personality development. In a word, education is the fulfillment of students' lives. Three years of junior high school is the most important period for children to receive basic education, the connecting stage of children's future study, and the basic period of the whole middle school stage. The senior high school entrance examination is only a gas station, not a terminal. In junior high school, children's physical and mental health, sound personality, noble morality, children's love for learning quality and positive mental outlook are always the first, followed by children's basic abilities (reading, computing, writing, speaking, listening, watching, using computers, etc.). ) and academic performance. As far as learning is concerned, while paying attention to children's academic performance, we should pay more attention to children's learning ability and learning potential; Pay attention to the cultivation of children's independent thinking ability and independent action ability. Knowledge is not equal to intelligence, academic performance is not equal to thinking quality, textbook knowledge is not equal to basic knowledge, and test-taking ability is not equal to comprehensive ability. Therefore, to be a junior high school student, we must take the six-year development of the whole middle school as a whole, "look at the high school from the middle school", base ourselves on the middle school, but not limited to the middle school, and be responsible for the future development of students.
2. Uphold the core values of "Enlightening Wisdom and Righteousness" school.
Enlightenment means "enlightenment". We take "enlightening wisdom and justice" as our motto. We believe that "enlightening wisdom and righteousness" is the best interpretation of the essence of education and the mission of Zheng Qi Middle School.
"Enlightenment" means "enlightenment", and "enlightenment" means enlightening wisdom, teaching people to fish, and cultivating the ability of independent learning and independent thinking. The essence of education is to cultivate people's wisdom. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. "Fish" is "knowledge", not equal to wisdom; "Fishing" is the thinking and method of seeking knowledge and wisdom. This kind of thinking and method of seeking knowledge can help students absorb knowledge very quickly, think and create actively, thus developing wisdom and benefiting mankind. Enlighten students' thinking, stimulate students' spirituality, guide students to pursue knowledge, get close to intelligence and develop wisdom. Enlightening wisdom is to cultivate students' independent learning, independent thinking, innovative spirit and practical ability, which we think is the most important and core ability in junior and middle schools.
"Yi" means "Yi". What is "moral integrity"? The etymological explanation of "Zheng" is "correcting, correcting and returning", and it also contains the meaning of "integrity and firmness". "Positive" also means "check, review, reflect and correct". "Virtue" refers to "people's morality, moral character and virtue" and also refers to "people's cultivation, sentiment and integrity"! As the old saying goes, "virtue is the foundation of a person's existence" and "a person cannot stand without virtue". Therefore, the meaning of "moral integrity" is never to forget to review and check your own virtue, correct your own virtue, and shoulder the responsibility of helping the public virtue! Virtue is to guide students, reject mediocrity, pursue greatness and Excellence. Therefore, "moral integrity" is to cultivate students' reflective spirit and critical ability, which is also one of the core abilities of junior high school students.
3. Build the vision of "ignoring quality and learning has potential"
We clearly put forward the vision of "ignoring high quality and learning has potential" First of all, "light burden" does not mean that there is no burden, let alone laissez-faire. Instead, it leaves students with appropriate time and space to read classics, get close to nature, publicize their personality and sharpen their abilities. It doesn't mean that students' time is completely occupied by textbooks and homework, and students are completely led by teachers. Secondly, "light burden" is to follow the law of students' physical and mental development, step by step, leave some time for children to arrange themselves and create reasonable activity space. "High quality" means that the students we train should be modern people with good character, decent behavior, good physical and mental health, excellent academic performance, outstanding specialties and innovative spirit and ability. Schools should "build a platform and a ladder for students' personality development, instead of spending all their energy to obliterate personality development". Oppose excessive study and let students learn with potential. "Learning has potential" means: in time, students have the opportunity to arrange independently and freely; From the perspective of space, the school has various activities for students to participate in, and students have the ability to actively participate; From the perspective of learning ability, it has the ability of independent learning and independent thinking.
4. Create a humanistic atmosphere of "cooperation, honesty, respect and responsibility"
We advocate the school spirit of "cooperation, honesty, respect and responsibility". Strive to build a campus humanistic atmosphere with this as the core element.
"Honest cooperation" not only refers to the conscious behavior of teachers' honesty cooperation, but also refers to the value orientation of cultivating students' honesty cooperation, and also describes the interpersonal relationship between schools and families, teachers and parents, students and teachers, and students and students. Among them, the core is the integrity and cooperation of teachers. Teachers are required to be honest with students and be serious and responsible in teacher-student exchanges and activities; Be honest with the school, actively safeguard the management system of the school, and participate in all educational reform activities of the school; Be honest with the parents of students and complete the education and training of children together in active communication with parents; Really shoulder the sacred mission of cultivating the next generation with innovative spirit and practical ability for our profession and our social integrity, and consciously embody and implement it in daily education and teaching work.
"Responsibility" refers to the sense of responsibility, that is, the sense of ownership. Everyone is the master of the school and society, and should consciously exercise their rights and fulfill their obligations, thus being responsible for the school, family, society and themselves.
"Respect" means respect consciousness. It is a new core concept of school spirit. "Respect" means respecting others, differences and diversity, and the environment and resources. Respect between teachers and students, between thought and behavior, between personality, interest, emotion, nature and society, etc.
5. Shaping the external image of "humanity, exquisiteness, harmony and openness"
Humanistic harmony, harmonious development of body and mind, harmony between people, harmony between people and nature, harmony between people and society.
(1) Creating a Harmonious Campus
The school attaches great importance to the communication between home and school, and has set up a hotline for parents, and arranges special personnel to answer and record it every day and reply within a time limit. Adhere to the tradition of "parents' open day" and accept parents' comments on any class in each grade on the first day of each semester. The school trade union organizes the theme activity of "I am an upright person" every year, and the party branch carries out a series of activities of "integrity forum". These measures make the campus in Zheng Qi more harmonious. In the 2006 school year, the school's moral education department focused on five "happy growth projects" such as "I study, I am happy", "I manage money, I am happy", "I show, I am happy" and "I save, I am happy". In June 2007, the school psychological counseling station was rated as "excellent station" for psychological counseling in downtown area. The evaluation team of the district school psychological counseling station spoke highly of our school's psychological venting corridor and mental health work.
The school strengthens team cohesion and builds a harmonious team by organizing all faculty members to carry out moral backbone development training and "centripetal force training".
(2) Building a harmonious class
Scientific management and healthy and harmonious class groups are the basic guarantee of students' mental health. In recent years, our school has sent head teachers to attend lectures by famous national education experts such as Ren Xiaoai, Wei Shusheng and Li Zhenxi to learn advanced class management experience. Facing the problem students in the class, the school has a correct mind and a clear responsibility from the perspective of social stability. Through years of continuous practice, a series of systems such as post-work contact of administrative team members have been established, and a set of educational methods for problem students have been summarized.
(3) Building a harmonious classroom
In the process of implementing the curriculum reform of basic education, the school takes the construction of diversified curriculum structure and the exploration of efficient teaching mode as the core projects. The implementation of basic courses, supplemented by inquiry courses and extended courses, has gradually completed the "compulsory courses, community courses, honor courses and multidisciplinary courses" and optimized the structure, further promoting the development of contemporary junior middle school students' multiple intelligences. Pay attention to the effectiveness of education and teaching. Since the autumn of 2007, the school has carried out micro-analysis of teaching, observing classroom teaching from four dimensions: teachers, students, courses and classrooms, providing a discourse system for self-reflection, peer assistance, teaching and research activities and classroom culture creation in teaching, and further following up the harmonious classroom.
(4) Building a harmonious teaching staff.
In the practice of running a school, the school deeply realized that the past achievements in running a school benefited from an excellent team of teachers, and the school's sustainable development and future new development need more excellent teachers. Our requirements for teachers are: noble morality, profound business, unity and diligence.
On the one hand, the school strictly requires teachers to participate in various continuing education and training, strengthen basic skills and improve professional level. The school has also set up a special fund to send teachers with development potential and love for education. On the other hand, teachers are encouraged to expand their knowledge, look at education with the "third eye" and look at education from a perspective other than education, so that they can have a new view on education, education and talents in different thinking collisions.
On the one hand, the school advocates that both teaching and learning should have individuality, embody their own unique ideas, methods and characteristics, and "follow the nature of wood to make it natural". In the collective atmosphere of symbiosis and common prosperity, teachers' personalized teaching also makes school education more dynamic. The textbook compiled by the Chinese Group of our school is a successful masterpiece of "school-based textbook" in our city, which has not only achieved high educational reform benefits, but also attracted the attention of Hangzhou media. Through unity and cooperation, the Nature Group has formed a systematic competition course, and the competition results have always been the leading geese in junior high schools in Hang Cheng.
(5) strive for family harmony.
The quality and concept of parents also determine the space for students to grow up. The school will continue to run parent counseling schools of different grades and levels. Organize expert lectures to spread the scientific concept of family education to parents, give effective guidance, realize the consistency of education and form the joint force of education.
subtle
Exquisiteness refers to the "essence" of school-running form, profound concept, capable teachers, excellent teaching, accurate management, sincere service and exquisite school appearance;
(1) Building a capable team of teachers
Excellent school results come from excellent teachers. Teachers under the age of 45 account for 82% in our school, and 79% are teachers with senior titles, including more than 20 new teachers in the city and outstanding teachers in provinces and cities. Teachers are caring, dedicated, good at research and creative. Teachers have achieved excellent results in various technical competitions organized by provinces and cities.
(2) Advocating the theme consciousness of daily management.
Our school is a teaching and research base school in Hangzhou. The school regards moral education, teaching and administrative management as subjects, which provides support and motivation for the current high-level development. In 2006, the school reached a cooperation intention with the research group "Practical Research on Hangzhou Regional Culture and World Cultural Heritage Education", and developed and published the school-based course "Intangible Cultural Heritage Around Us". At present, the school has provincial key projects 1 and three municipal projects.
(3) Establish brand awareness of cultural accumulation.
In recent years, Zheng Qi's "ignoring quality" has initially formed its own unique approach. Today, when the new curriculum reform is in full swing, it shows its advantages more and more, and the praise of the society is increasing day by day. Most parents and people in the society increasingly recognize the following practices in Zheng Qi:
First, pay attention to the rationality of curriculum design and the methods and processes to achieve the goals.
Second, follow the law of children's physical and mental development, step by step, and leave some time for children to arrange themselves.
Third, strive to improve classroom efficiency, win the classroom and reduce students' academic burden.
Fourthly, teachers are encouraged to "read classics and get close to giants", and are required to "base themselves on the present and extend both ends", and advocate "teachers go to the sea and students go ashore" to improve teachers' knowledge reserves and professional quality.
(4) Create an elegant and unique campus environment.
The school has realized campus renovation projects such as playground plasticization, outdoor floor tiles, indoor floors, campus greening and gardening, music classrooms, art classrooms, micro-classroom specialization, and multimedia equipment entering classes, which has improved the overall image of the school. At the same time, strengthen the construction of wall culture, let the wall speak, and give students more display platforms.
open
Openness means being "strong" and having an international perspective. With broad vision and strong advantages, we will carry out more extensive foreign exchanges and accelerate export-oriented construction;
(1) Actively explore multi-level cultural exchanges at home and abroad.
Internationally, since it became a sister school with Canberra Middle School in Australia in September 2004, the school has organized winter study tours to Australia every year. The Australian side also organizes students to come to our school for exchange and study every year.
At home, the school has twinned with Fengshuling Town Middle School in Chun 'an and Ningwei Town Middle School in Xiaoshan, carried out multi-directional mutual visits, and formulated assistance mechanisms including new curriculum teaching exchange, resource sharing and sunshine assistance. In addition, the school also exchanges and studies with teachers from more than 0 schools in and outside the province/kloc-0.
(2) Promote the second class in an all-round way, and the community activities are splendid.
Since March 2007, the school has set up an "Enlightenment Forum" focusing on students' quality education. Through a series of lectures on different topics, it has broadened students' horizons and enlightened their wisdom. Among them, a series of financial education activities have been highly concerned by the media. Xinhua News Agency issued a full-text draft, and more than 20 media including People's Daily, Zhejiang TV Station and Zhejiang Daily made follow-up reports. Students' club activities have achieved a lot. More than 0/0 projects, such as "Investigation on Middle School Students' Stress" and "Investigation and Experiment on Waste Battery Recycling Consciousness and Pollution Control", have won numerous awards. Jiang Hongye, a student of Seven Star Literature Society, won the DV Contest of EF Youth Image Spokesperson in 2006 1 1- 14 age group national finals.
Harmony shows the humanity of Zheng Qi Middle School, exquisitely embodies the strength of Zheng Qi Middle School, and openness shows the atmosphere of Zheng Qi Middle School.
Pursue the practice of "ignoring quality"
1. Establish curriculum awareness and pay attention to the rationality of the methods and processes to achieve the goals.
First, the school strives to build a diversified curriculum structure and create an ecological environment for students' multi-dimensional growth.
Space is the stage for students' free development. Clarify the development direction of quality education, actively adjust, reform and enrich the course content on the basis of conscientiously implementing some national curriculum teaching plans, give priority to basic courses, supplemented by inquiry courses and expansion courses, and gradually make "compulsory courses, community courses, honor courses and multi-disciplinary courses" complete and optimize the structure, which will further promote the development of contemporary junior middle school students' multiple wisdom.
Second, pay attention to the rationality of the process and method of achieving educational goals, oppose excessive learning, and realize the optimization of educational benefits. There is a theory of overtreatment in medicine and overteaching in education. Psychology shows that appropriate over-study is necessary for students to consolidate their knowledge and skills, but over-study is a waste of time, deprivation of students' rights and physical and mental destruction. Excessive excessive learning ignores the cost of time and energy, and it pursues the maximization of teaching efficiency, not optimization. We believe that to cultivate students' ability of independent thinking and independent learning, we should first give students time and opportunities; At the same time, students also need this will, and their autonomous learning ability is possible. If all the students' disposable time is filled by school teachers and textbook assignments, students will have no chance to make independent arrangements, students will not be able to study independently, and their learning potential will be out of the question. The teaching benefit may be maximized, but it is not optimized.
2. Follow the law of children's physical and mental development, step by step, and leave some time for children to arrange independently.
Education is regular, and the first thing to follow is the law of children's physical and mental development. Time is a student's greatest resource. Schools should actively expand and give children time for independent study, free activities and normal communication. Three years of junior high school is a gradual process. The first grade of junior high school should be relatively easy. We insist on attending classes for five days and don't make up lessons on Saturday, in order to leave some time for our children. With the help of teachers and parents, do more extracurricular reading and arrange more extracurricular activities, and strive to expand their extracurricular horizons, accumulate basic knowledge and exercise basic skills. At the same time, the gap between children's learning tasks from primary school to junior high school should not be too big. It is not appropriate to unify children too much and crush them to death in the first year of junior high school. Otherwise, children's psychological pressure will be great, which is not conducive to their physical and mental health, and is not conducive to the development of their learning potential in the next two years. The independence and learning ability of junior two students are gradually enhanced, and the amount of learning tasks is gradually increased. By the third day, they will go all out.
3. Strive to improve classroom efficiency and win the classroom.
Classroom is always the main position to realize "light responsibility and high quality". Actively build a classroom teaching mode of "grasping the foundation, emphasizing ability, fast pace, large capacity and high efficiency" and adhere to the teaching strategy of "three aims and two struggles". "Three aims" are: aiming time utilization rate, aiming student participation rate and aiming goal achievement rate; The "two struggles" are: try to get full marks after the exam, and try to get all right after the homework. Strive to achieve the goal of "three cleanups", that is, practice the concept of "finishing work every day" and realize the learning task of "clearing classes, clearing days and clearing weeks". Using three tools: horizontal comparison tool, incremental trend analysis and objective degree analysis, we hope to achieve an effect that teachers should "have clear teaching ideas".
4. Strive to improve teachers' knowledge reserve and professionalism. To sum up, three sentences.
First, encourage teachers to "read classics and get close to giants", study hard to accept the most cutting-edge, scientific and effective educational and teaching concepts, and strive to improve their educational and teaching skills;
Second, teachers are required to "stand on the present and extend both ends", that is, teachers are required to stand on the reality of junior high school teaching, but also look at the teaching materials and teaching reform reality of primary and secondary schools, and strive to improve classroom teaching efficiency;
Third, we advocate "teachers go to the sea and students go ashore", requiring teachers to do more problems and research, actively explore the most effective teaching methods, select exercises, design scientific training programs, avoid sea tactics, save students' time and resources, and achieve the goal of "paying less attention to quality".
5. Establish the concept of "life first, health first". Advocate health first and study second. Students' comprehensive quality is the first, and the enrollment rate is the second.
