First, the concept level: modern school management should establish a sense of quality of life.
"School people" refers to all the staff and students of the school. On the platform of life education, modern school management should establish the hypothesis of "life person" and realize that "school person" is a complex organism, a free, concrete, unique and growing individual with mysterious life soul, poetic life touch, vivid life experience, vigorous life energy, strong life expectation and sincere life pursuit.
(A) modern school management pays attention to the quality of life of teachers.
First of all, teachers are living people. Teachers have thoughts, feelings and independent personality. Teachers expect respect, love and recognition from others. Making teachers feel respect and expectation is the lifeline of school development.
Secondly, teachers play a compound role. Teachers are the organizers and implementers of teaching and the promoters and managers of students' learning. Students may not know the headmaster, but they always keep "zero distance" from the class teacher and teacher, and even remember and respect them forever. In this sense, teachers have more self-esteem than other professions.
Third, teachers are a group full of personality and expertise. Teachers in the school have their own unique growth experience and mental journey, which are quite different in moral standards, psychological quality, work ability and even personality hobbies. These differences constitute the complexity of the teacher group. Modern school management should pay attention to teachers' personality and specialty. Providing teachers with opportunities for success, building a stage for growth, stimulating teachers' creative impulse, and making them grow "educational wisdom" are important foundations for school development.
(2) Modern school management pays attention to students' quality of life.
Paying attention to people is the core concept of the new curriculum, which means: first, paying attention to every student; Second, pay attention to students' emotional life and experience; Third, pay attention to students' moral life and personality development. For a long time, there is a view that time is infinite. As long as our students sit in the classroom, they will be able to produce talents, more talents and better talents. In fact, it is not advisable to force students to study, study and study again without respecting their wishes and objective laws, which seriously violates their wishes and educational laws.
Second, the organizational level: modern school management replaces "shackles" with "humanization"
Rigid management system is "bound" and flexible management system is "humanized". Modern school management system should be a "humanized" flexible management system, which should reflect the basic respect and care for people.
Three links should be grasped in the construction of "humanized" system:
First, the formulation process of the system should fully carry forward democracy, embody the broadest interests of "scholars" and convey humanistic care, so that the system will become the norm and ideal realm that "scholars" consciously and voluntarily pursue from the starting point. Smart managers are good at combining the requirements of the times, the development of the school with the fundamental interests of all teachers and students, so that the system itself has the dual functions of safeguarding the interests of the school and the legitimate rights and interests of teachers and students.
Second, the implementation process of the system should be based on guidance, supplemented by contracts, and guide the "school people" to recognize and abide by the rules with sensibility, rationality, patience and detail. Managers put themselves in the same position as those under the jurisdiction of rules and regulations, and show all teachers and students that "everyone is equal before the system"; As a result, the behavior of teachers and students observing rules and regulations has entered a state of self-discipline from heteronomy.
The development direction of evaluation is determined as developmental evaluation, self-evaluation and process evaluation. Therefore, more attention is paid to the qualitative evaluation of teachers in the evaluation method. Pay attention to both teaching results and teaching process. The evaluation subject is diversified, and the evaluation content is diversified. Make teachers' efforts rewarded, and make teachers' professional development have internal motivation.
Third, we should be strict and affectionate, strict and moderate, strict and reasonable, based on respect, with understanding as the link, with communication as the way and education as the purpose. When it comes to a person's reputation, interests, even psychological state and development prospects, school administrators can put themselves in their own shoes and do what they don't want others to do, so as to achieve the highest level of problem-solving and comfort for both sides of the contradiction.
Third, the operational level: modern school management practices the growth of human life.
(A) let teachers develop themselves while burning themselves.
Modern schools should be the cradle of students' development on the one hand, and teachers' development on the other. As a manager, we should build the school into a "teacher-developed school".
First, build the school into a learning organization. Learning organization is a sustainable organization established by cultivating a learning atmosphere that permeates the whole organization and giving full play to the creative thinking ability of employees. The school itself creates a learning atmosphere through school-based training and establishes an evaluation mechanism of "Ten Basic Skills of Teachers". At the same time, teachers are encouraged to continue their studies, including improving their academic qualifications and training special skills. In addition, teachers should be provided with opportunities to participate in educational research as much as possible, and their teaching practice can keep up with the tide of educational development by hiring famous teachers, teaching researchers to give lectures, conducting special seminars, conducting salon-style teaching and research, and compiling special learning materials. At present, college degree or above has reached 75%, and computer and Mandarin are all qualified. Our goal is that all young teachers have a college degree and 30% have a bachelor's degree.
Secondly, implement the strategy of "developing teachers through scientific research". "Guide every teacher to the road of happy education and research" is the inculcation of the famous educator Suhomlinski to the principal. The headmaster is not only the first person in charge of reform research, but also the leader and practitioner. In the process of implementing the strategy of "developing teachers through scientific research", our school, as the principal, undertakes the research work of the subject every year, strengthens leadership from the aspects of topic selection, project formulation, project planning, project organization and implementation, and personally participates in writing papers and project reports. Under the leadership of the headmaster, the whole school's plan of "developing teachers through scientific research" has been steadily advanced. Every teacher has learned to learn in teaching and teach in research, and the research results are remarkable. One project won an award in Shaoxing, and several projects have been established and won an award in Shengzhou.
The new curriculum is a real research from the height of human life and the whole basic education. From the perspective of paying attention to the quality of life of teachers and students, the school makes the life of teachers and students interact and coexist in the development of the school. Improve teachers through "developing teachers through scientific research". No matter the theoretical level or the ability to sum up teaching experience, everyone is taking the road of educational reform from "teacher craftsman" to "scientific research".
Third, implement the growth plan for young teachers. Young teachers are the new force of school development, and cultivating young teachers' growth is the focus of school teachers' growth plan. To this end, our school organizes young teachers to carry out "eight ones" in educational research every year: reading an educational theory book, undertaking or participating in the research of a small topic, giving an open class, showing a teaching skill, compiling a test paper, making a courseware, writing a case and publishing an educational and teaching paper.
Fourth, guide teachers to grow up in reflection. Modern schools advocate that every teacher should be a good thinker, not only to find and solve problems in education and teaching through speculation, but also to improve his educational thoughts through speculation.
(2) Let students enjoy the happiness of growing up.
Caring for children must first respect children. Respect children's rich inner feelings, respect the law of students' psychological development, make the school a garden, academy, home and paradise for students to live and study, and let children enjoy the happiness of growth.
1. A vibrant garden Although the school is located in a mountainous area and the economy is weak, we still try our best to build a garden-style school. Strive for local individual bosses to build modern teaching buildings for the school. In recent years, flower beds, trees and flowers have been built on campus. Full of green eyes and flowers all year round, it has become a green school in Shengzhou, and strives to create a Shaoxing-level green school. Students stroll in the garden, read in the morning under the big camphor tree and stop in front of the flowers. Standing in front of the window of every classroom on campus, you can enjoy endless greenery, and the whole campus is full of vitality.
2. Active College
Improving students' literacy through the construction of school cultural environment. An educator once said: "Schools should make people feel excited. When they enter schools, they should be able to feel a poetic, sacred and infinite charm." We carry out activities such as "Let the walls speak", "Let the flowers and plants have feelings" and "Let the classroom shine", and strive to make every corner of the campus full of warmth. As a result, a large number of color photos of "campus stars" in the corridor inspired everyone's enthusiasm for learning. Besides famous sayings, there are also "Little Calligrapher's Arena", "Little Painter's Arena" and "Little Musician's Exhibition Platform", which bring students unlimited enjoyment.
Step 3 enlighten the house of wisdom
The development of an activity, the selection of "little writers, little painters, little musicians and little calligraphers", the creation of artistic characteristics, the cultivation of comprehensive practical activities and educational characteristics, and the strong learning atmosphere on campus make the school a home for enlightening wisdom.
4. paradise of personality
Happy games. The activity at noon during recess is a microcosm of the campus atmosphere, which advocates the development of students' personality and the all-round development of games.
Happy sports. Children are naturally fond of playing and sports. Students don't have a heavy study burden, so they have time to participate in their favorite activities. To this end, we set up a school table tennis team, a "three-person" small basketball team and a happy mountaineering team. In all kinds of special training and study, the indomitable spirit of children is cultivated, so that every child has a healthy body.
Happy creation. Schools set up extracurricular interest groups, so that children can freely choose to participate and create happily in interest groups. Such as car module, paper-cut bronzing group, root carving production group, etc., attracted a large number of students who love science.
Happy campus. In order to give children a happy childhood and create an infinite space for their personality and life experience, children are lively, brave and tenacious, not afraid of difficulties and full of personality. ...
Fourth, the characteristic level: integrate life care into modern school management and create school characteristics.
Characteristics of comprehensive practical activities: caring for life and paying attention to students' life.
"Comprehensive practical activities" course not only responds to the general trend of curriculum reform in the world, but also reflects the practical needs of curriculum reform in China. It is a non-disciplinary course for all students, with students' independent choice, direct experience, research and exploration as the basic way of the course, life practice (planting tea, picking tea and making tea), social practice (organizing students to interview the revolutionary history and struggle history of the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Party in old party member) and scientific practice as the basic content, and cultivating students' personality as the basic task of the course.
Since the implementation of the new curriculum, our school has carried out a lot of research and practice on comprehensive practical activities in primary schools. After eight years, we have formed a set of our own practices in the basic links, operational strategies, training models and curriculum settings of comprehensive practical activities. Related research achievements have won the first and second prizes in Shengzhou City for many times, and many related papers have been published in various journals.
Comprehensive practical activities reflect the concern for life, pay attention to the participation of every student, and open up a broad space for students to give full play to their autonomy, so that students can learn life knowledge and skills in activities.
Cultivating educational characteristics: moral concern, paying attention to students' moral quality and personality cultivation.
The fundamental purpose of education is to teach students to be human beings. The cultivation of good quality needs to start from ordinary small things, and also needs the cooperation of schools, families and society to carry out continuous education and training. In recent years, the ideological and moral construction with the content of "educating people" in our school has formed its own characteristics.
At present, how to break through the cultivation of code of conduct is a difficult problem in moral education in many schools. On the basis of many years' exploration, our school organized backbone teachers to decompose the newly revised Code of Daily Behavior for Primary School Students, compiled the school-based textbook Code of Daily Behavior for Primary School Students 1, 2, 3, filmed videos such as One Day in Primary School and Being a Civilized Student, and set up school-based curriculum for fostering education and psychological consultation station. At the same time, I compiled a supporting evaluation manual for formative education, My Growth Track, which was widely accepted by evaluators. Through evaluation, students find progress, find shortcomings and make clear the direction of progress.
Only by returning to life can we feel the existence and strength of life; Only by pursuing real life growth can we discover the life potential contained in school education. Modern school management should pay more attention to human dignity, follow the law of human nature formation, develop human potential and discover human value, thus opening up broad prospects for the sustainable and healthy development of schools.
