First of all, a good principal should have good political and ideological quality.
The connotation of political and ideological quality lies in the headmaster's firm political belief, correct educational thought, noble moral sentiment, pragmatic work style, modest and prudent ideological quality and firm political belief. As a principal, without firm political belief, there will be no strong sense of reform and opening up, courage to explore and innovate, and firm and correct direction of running a school; There will be no strong dedication and high sense of responsibility, and there will be no persistence and confidence in school work. A good headmaster must have his own ideas and have the ability and means to make teachers accept his ideas. The headmaster is the shadow of the school. A good headmaster should not only have the qualities of a general teacher, but also have the professional ethics of school leaders, including self-denial, equality, respect for talents and so on.
1, the principal should be self-denial, which is the premise of good school management. The headmaster can proceed from the interests of the party and the people, regardless of personal relations, treat them equally and adhere to principles; When something happens, we can proceed from the interests of all faculty members, without seeking personal interests or privileges, and keep clean. School cadres should set an example for teachers, so that teachers can be asked to set an example for students. "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you" and "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you". In this way, in the process of work, the principal can be understood by others and the principal's thoughts can be accepted by teachers more smoothly. Such a principal is the most prestigious principal and is deeply supported by teachers.
The headmaster should be open-minded, which is the requirement of doing a good job in school management. The headmaster should not only listen to and tolerate all kinds of opinions, but also stand the criticism, accusation and inquiry of the management object. Calm when things go wrong, distinguish beauty and ugliness, and distinguish right from wrong; We should be good at proceeding from reality, solicit opinions from all sides through investigation and study, scientifically analyze problems and seek the best solution.
The principal should treat others equally, which is the main condition for doing a good job in school management. Meeting a good principal is the teacher's luck. As the saying goes, "a scholar dies for a bosom friend." As a teacher, I think "teachers are for bosom friends". In school work, if the headmaster wants to win the support, support and love of the teacher, he must think what the teacher thinks, be the teacher's confidant and care for the teacher sincerely. Principals should have "popularity" and "affinity" between teachers and students. Only in this way can the principal's decrees be unblocked. Imagine a school, if the relationship between leaders and teachers is tense and teachers and students don't like the principal, then it is difficult for the principal to carry out his work. If the headmaster wants to be a "good friend" of teachers and students, he should try his best to solve the difficulties of teachers and students and help teachers grow up. In short, a good principal can think of everyone's thoughts and worries, and has all the teachers and students in mind.
4. The headmaster should respect talents and love talents, which is an important guarantee to do a good job in school management. Every teacher has his own unique personality, specialties and hobbies. Principals should fully understand these characteristics of teachers and provide them with opportunities to show their abilities. For young teachers, we should care about their growth in their work and actively create conditions to improve their professional level; For middle-aged teachers, try to help them form their own teaching style and summarize it constantly; For old teachers, encourage them to accumulate experience in education and teaching in order to better serve the development of the school. To manage the school well, we can't just rely on the principal, but we must have a group of backbone teachers who are organized to engage in education and teaching. This requires the headmaster to be knowledgeable and capable, give full play to the talents of each teacher, tap the potential of each teacher, and strive to make all systems and departments of the school have capable people.
Second, a good principal should have good business knowledge and ability.
1. The principal's idea of running a school should be innovative: "Thought leads action, and idea inspires motivation". The so-called concept innovation means that a good school and an excellent principal must have school-running ideas and ideas that are in line with the spirit of the times, highlight the characteristics of the school, and enable all faculty and staff to pursue and struggle together. Advanced school-running ideas can enable principals to run schools in accordance with educational laws, not be eager for quick success and instant benefit, build campus culture in accordance with school-running ideas, manage schools and promote school development; It can make teachers better understand and adapt to the new curriculum, promote the change of teachers' roles and actively improve their professional level; The advanced concept of running a school can make the school develop in a higher and better direction, and it will last forever in today's increasingly fierce social competition.
Advanced educational concept is based on lifelong education concept. With the concept of lifelong education, principals can pay attention to students' test scores from today to their development and ability tomorrow; With the concept of lifelong education, principals can shift from "managing and oppressing" teachers to humanistic care for teachers; Only when the principal has the concept of lifelong education can he formulate the guiding ideology of running a school that conforms to the characteristics of the school and promotes its development. "Education+major" has created Feng Enhong and Jianping model; A Four-Minute Class tells the story of Yang Si Middle School and Cai Linsen. Today's famous principals, such as Wei Shusheng and Zhang Siming, have won a reputation and become famous educators with advanced educational ideas and concepts.
"Thinking is the way out, ability is the charm, vision is the realm, and achievement is the status". How can such a concept update not make our principals strengthen their study, enhance their sense of mission, improve the management level of the school, and gradually transform themselves from educators into experts, good managers and high-quality educators?
First-class teachers teach people, second-rate teachers teach people, and third-rate teachers teach exams. With the renewal of this concept, teachers will consciously understand their own values. Why not take the initiative to improve their professional level, stimulate their own internal drive, so as to improve their quality of life and realize teachers' higher pursuit in daily education and teaching, such as teaching effectively, learning happily and satisfying teachers and students in exam results.
"Student development is the original meaning and purpose of school development, teacher development is the way of school development, and school development is the result of student development and teacher development." With such a concept update, our education and teaching work can truly face all students, for the all-round development of students; Only in this way can students become talents, teachers succeed and schools develop.
2. The headmaster's action should be realistic: "Details decide success or failure", which is the secret of the success of many well-known enterprises in today's society, and so is the school work. A good school should not only have advanced school-running ideas and perfect rules and regulations, but more importantly, it should see whether every work it does can be meticulous, thoughtful and meticulous. Reflect on the management of our school, such as young teachers' training, grade group target quality management, school moral education, student interest group activities, sports meetings, class theme class meetings, etc. It seems to have done a lot, but it always feels that there are few bright spots and few that can be promoted to others as landmark achievements. The reason is that we lack systematicness, meticulousness and effectiveness in doing these tasks, and there are many "imaginary things" to deal with the inspection by superiors, and few "practical things" to do according to the school's school-running philosophy, school-running ideas and school planning; A lot of energy is devoted to how to improve students' academic performance, especially to transform the academic performance of poor students, but little energy is devoted to how to improve teachers' professional level, improve classroom efficiency, and how to face all students in education and teaching and promote their all-round development. Through this study and thinking, I deeply feel that the existing management of our school urgently needs to make more fuss about details and be more pragmatic in action.
3. The headmaster should be good at reflection: a good school needs not a building, but a master. With the continuous development of social productive forces and the further improvement of people's living standards, people's desire to send their children to quality schools is becoming stronger and stronger. The hardware conditions of a school are easy to realize, but the key to becoming a high-quality school and a prestigious school depends on the quality of teachers. In fact, in the final analysis, the quality of education or the quality of teachers. High-quality education requires teachers to constantly enrich and improve their own connotation and quality. Well-known schools also need more famous teachers with superb teaching level, noble personality and perfect teaching art. An excellent principal is not only a knowledge-based and intelligent principal, but also a reflective principal. When school work encounters resistance, obstacles, progress or little effect, we should be brave in reflection, be good at reflecting on our own working ideas and methods, and find the growing point of education and the starting point of work in reflection. For example, in training young teachers and promoting teachers' professional development, we should pay attention to teachers' value guidance, stimulate teachers' internal motivation, and let teachers realize that teachers' happiness comes not only from their families, but also from classrooms, students and schools. Teachers can show their elegance in the process of educational practice, enrich and develop the wisdom of life and release the vitality of life in the process of working hard for students. It is necessary to give classified guidance to teachers and pay attention to the effectiveness of training, that is, to guide and train teachers at different levels in view of the key and difficult problems existing in teacher education and teaching practice, and strive to make the content of guidance and training consistent with teachers' level and needs. At the same time, we should not only strengthen the concept training, but also pay attention to practical guidance, so that teachers can experience and reflect more in the actual education and teaching work, thus promoting the improvement of education and teaching ability and the all-round development of teachers. In addition, schools should lay more platforms for teachers to display their talents, and create a pleasant working environment, satisfactory working conditions and comfortable working experience for teachers. In the actual education and teaching management, we should be able to find and ask questions, be good at reflecting on the mistakes and shortcomings in our work, and use the wisdom of the team to find solutions to problems. Make our school develop in a better and higher direction, and truly run quality education recognized by the society and satisfied by the people.
