Chen Ying, the headmaster of Yongzhou No.4 Middle School, should become a scholar-type headmaster, which should be the direction of our principals in the field of basic education. Scholar-type principals should improve themselves from three aspects. First, grasp the word "learning". The knowledge structure of middle school principals should be multidimensional: they should have the basic knowledge of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory, as well as the systematic and solid basic knowledge of educational management theories such as pedagogy, psychology, school management, school management psychology and teaching theory; Not only the practical experience of grass-roots management of school teaching and research group and grade group, but also the professional knowledge of a certain subject, and more importantly, the knowledge of sociology, talents, public relations, aesthetics and other related school management and principal work; We should not only understand the policies and laws of the party and the state in socialist modernization, but also understand the education policies, regulations and laws of the party and the state; We should have both traditional school management knowledge and modern scientific management knowledge. Scholar-type principals should have the perseverance to learn and the motivation to learn new knowledge. We should abandon the outdated concept of the supremacy of academic qualifications, be diligent in seeking knowledge, read widely, open up our own knowledge fields, and adjust, enrich and improve our own knowledge system. We should strive to improve our comprehensive quality, have a wide range of knowledge, have a strong memory, and have a comprehensive knowledge of all subjects, and strive to become a "generalist." Attention should be paid to the absorption of future educational information. In order to think ahead and work ahead in a wider scope and at a deeper level, principals must pay attention to constantly absorbing all kinds of relevant educational information at home and abroad. Second, pay attention to the word "research". Research-oriented schools should be the basic school-running strategy of scholar-oriented principals. To improve the quality of education, teaching and management, we must strengthen educational research and improve the overall quality of teachers. The headmaster takes the lead in carrying out educational research, which has the significance of driving teachers and commanding the overall situation. The headmaster should establish a strong sense of scientific research. A school with an atmosphere of education and scientific research can quickly form a distinctive education and teaching system suitable for its own conditions, and can continuously improve its level and level, produce talents, experience and theory. The headmaster should take the lead in scientific research, be good at it and do it well. The headmaster wants to unveil the mystery of scientific research. The headmaster integrates management, teaching and scientific research, and will form his own ideas and styles of management and teaching over time. The headmaster must insist on "saying" and "doing". Principals should explore and summarize the laws of education and teaching on the basis of practice, and strive to change from practical experience to scholar and scientific research. Only when a headmaster can "write" and "do" can he really get rid of the spirit of "craftsman" and have the spirit of scholar. Third, embody a "new" word. Scholar-type principals have a strong sense of innovation, and the school he leads can be full of vitality and vitality. Principals should establish brand-new educational concepts: the educational concept of "Dont Ask For Help people must become talents when they go to school", the teaching concept of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, imparting knowledge and developing their abilities", the quality concept of "going to school is not equal to quality, and quality is quality", the student concept of "all-round development+specialty", and the principals should dare to get rid of routine affairs. Only in this way can we be one step ahead of others in decision-making and run schools in an original way. Thinking determines development. As the strategic planner of school development, the headmaster should base himself on lofty ideals, focus on the future, have a holistic mind, brainstorm for major events, make long-term plans and use talents. Principals should be good at using systematic thinking methods to conduct detailed analysis and comprehensive and systematic planning of schools. The goal of principal's professional development is for educators to run schools. Advocating educators to run schools is an important embodiment of respecting the laws of education and returning to the essence of education, and is the fundamental guarantee for improving the quality of education. If more and more scholar-type principals can emerge in the field of basic education in China, it will be lucky for education, the nation and the people.
