Teacher Chen Qianlin has been engaged in education for 35 years and served as principal for nearly 20 years. She is a well-known principal in China and a senior family education expert. After reading this book, I have a more comprehensive understanding of education. The essence of education is to cultivate a sound personality, and the essence of teaching is to guide individualized learning. Education should pay attention to "people", education should be the touch of the soul, the cultivation of personality, the growth of spirit, and a sound personality is the core accomplishment that education should pursue. Personality foundation includes: health, personality, habits, emotional intelligence, knowledge, ability, games, exploration, ambition, rules, happiness and values. The new era needs more thinkers and practitioners.
What impressed me most in the book was the part of teachers and professional growth. Educate students and pay attention to moral education. The growth of teachers is led by teachers' morality. You can't be a good teacher without professional ethics.
First, what is a teacher's morality?
There are many expressions about teachers' morality at all times and in all countries. I think the core of teachers' morality is love. The motto of Mr. Tao Xingzhi's life is "Love the whole world". The great love spirit of "holding a heart without half a blade of grass" has baptized generations of teachers. Suhomlinski said, "What is the most important thing in my life? I can answer without hesitation, love children. "
Second, as the core of teachers' morality, what should love be?
First of all, love children and be their spiritual mentor. There is a famous saying: "Education is that one tree shakes another tree, one cloud pushes another cloud, and one soul awakens another soul." Teachers should walk into every child's spiritual home and be the leader of children's spiritual growth. Second, love learning. The three-character scripture says, "Silkworms spin silk and bees make honey;" People who don't learn are not as good as things. " Students are readers and readers should be taught. Teacher Ren Xiaoai, the outstanding head teacher in China, said, "Teachers should give people a bucket of water. It is not enough to have a bucket of water by yourself. It is necessary to take a look at the living spring through study. " Third, love education. Education is a science, and teachers should constantly explore the essence and laws of education. Education is also art, teachers should strive to pursue their own educational style and teaching style, and teachers should stick to the essence of education.
Third, the pursuit of the realm of teachers' morality.
The highest realm of teachers' morality is "fraternity" and "endless struggle". These teachers are career-oriented and proud of their professional growth. These teachers have achieved themselves while educating their children. They are excellent teachers. These teachers regard education as a belief. They don't care about fame and fortune. These teachers have only children in mind and only educational truth. They are noble teachers.
Teachers' morality is like the wind, and the wind is invisible. With the help of trees, people can see that teachers' morality is an intangible thing. Teachers can show their children the details of education. Teachers' morality is the charm of education. Our teachers should regard education as their professional belief, regardless of fame and fortune, devote themselves to their work, keep learning and improve themselves. Teachers' professional growth and children's growth law are interlinked: first, by ambition; second, by self-study; third, by personalized help. Without pursuit and passive learning, there can be no professional growth.
As a kindergarten teacher, we should not only educate our children well, but also educate ourselves well. I think teachers should constantly expand our knowledge while learning their own professional knowledge. Making friends with books is a good choice. Every time I pick up a book, my blood boils. I know this is a kind of love. Every time I read a good book, I will consciously take notes, remember the essence, and write my thoughts and opinions in a notebook.
The last part of the book The Essence of Education is about Mr. Chen Qianlin's way of reading. His good habit of reading has influenced many people around him. He encourages our teachers to read often. The books he reads are very targeted, mainly on composition teaching, family education and school management. I will study hard on this point. Although I like reading, I don't choose books specifically. Reading methods are also very important. We should be an efficient reader, think while reading, form a good habit of writing reading notes, reflect more and record more. Spend more time studying pedagogy books, improve yourself in all directions, and be a favorite teacher for children.
Descartes said, "reading a good book is talking to many noble people." Shakespeare said: "life without books is like life without sunshine;" Wisdom without books is like a bird without wings. "I hope I can always keep my love for education and reading, grow in teaching and make progress in reading!
