Looking back on that work experience, President Gao Chen was very proud, but she never mentioned the hardships of starting a business. Instead, she relished that "I left 83 Middle School not only tangible buildings and high-quality management team, but also the concept of sunshine education". "Sunshine Education Concept" is an educational creed actively advocated and practiced by Comrade Gao Chen after he became the principal. She wants to spread sunshine in the hearts of every employee and every student, and its core value is to pay attention to the development of life and reflect the humanistic significance of education. President Gao Chen is an advocate and active practitioner of this idea. This concept has long been rooted in her heart and dominated her educational actions. When she was a class teacher, she took home visits as an important part of her daily work. Until she became the principal, she didn't change, just in a different form. So there is such a situation: President Gao Chen leads the school team members to take a van with the grade leader and the class teacher to visit the poor students' homes. She encourages children to change their destiny with knowledge and personally subsidizes students in need. When I heard that the headmaster was going to visit my home, not only the students but also the parents were very excited, and even the irrelevant people in the village had to come around to see something new. After this incident was reported by Shenyang Daily, a city leader was deeply moved. He actively contacted industrialists of well-known companies in Hong Kong to provide financial aid to more poor students. The tradition of headmaster's home visit continues in today's 83 middle school, and it has also become a beautiful talk in the local area. President Gao Chen always said, "There are no menial jobs, only people who work menial jobs. As teachers and principals, we should regard ordinary work as a great cause. "
In 2005, Comrade was transferred to Northeast Yucai School as the school-level executive vice president, assisting President Su (director of Shenyang Education Bureau) to preside over the daily work. This is a school with obvious cultural differences from No.83 Middle School, and it is also a prestigious school at home and abroad. After carefully combing the school's 60-year development process and educational experience, she turned her attention to the brand characteristics of Yucai, namely gifted education, international education and group education. Once again, the urge to fight again on the high platform rose in her heart. She said, "As a manager, you should bid farewell to the comfortable culture. Remember, the state of your life will determine what kind of person you will become. "
Including the champion of science in the college entrance examination of fresh graduates in Liaoning Province and the champion of Chinese and liberal arts in Liaoning Province, 67 people were admitted to internationally renowned universities such as Yale University and Princeton University, 2/kloc-0 people were admitted to famous Hong Kong universities, 37 people were admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University, and more than 200 people were admitted to the top ten famous universities in China ... This is a set of data of Northeast Yucai School after the college entrance examination in 2008, which is enough to make many schools envious or even jealous, and President Gao Chen is also jealous of it. In her view, this should never be the capital of showing off and narcissism for a Yucai school with a deep accumulation of 60 years. What she cares about is to find spiritual support for the further development of the school.
"In the next three years, the development of the school will focus on the construction of connotative education and culture, realize the' three promotion' of soft power, quality benefit and brand influence, enrich cultural heritage, create excellent education, promote the establishment of experimental and exemplary international famous schools with China characteristics, sum up the experience of implementing the basic national policy of' strengthening the country by human resources', enrich the scientific development theory of gifted education, and enhance the connotative development taste of gifted education.
One of the core of gifted education is curriculum, which was carefully drawn by President Gao Chen in the process of talent training. A relatively complete curriculum system for gifted education has been initially established. 100 elective courses have laid a broader and deeper solid foundation for students' personality development. In elective courses, some extended courses are offered, such as organic chemistry, tourism geography, and playing math together. , broaden your horizons and improve your thinking. In view of the special needs of cultivating leaders' quality talents, elective courses such as psychological group training, leadership improvement training and model United Nations are supplemented. Meteorological observation and astronomical observation also provide curriculum support for cultivating students' scientific spirit and practical ability; The school also set up a canoeing team, a shooting team and a table tennis team. The opening of characteristic physical education courses has built a broader development platform for students. A micro-course system with reports and lectures from experts and scholars as the main form has been formed. The activity course is to carry out the goal of "bringing innovation potential into play and cultivating leaders' quality". The school "World Heritage Youth Defenders Association" carries out activities on the platform of research study, publicity of world heritage protection and "China World Heritage International Youth Summer Camp". Using the theory and field investigation materials learned in class, the students wrote a report on the application of "One Palace and Two Mausoleums" and submitted it to the World Heritage Center. They also attended the 28th World Heritage Committee meeting in Suzhou on behalf of the youth from the three northeastern provinces, and made a speech at the meeting. Due to his achievements in world heritage education, Ichiro Matsuura, Director-General of the United Nations, came to Yucai and personally presented the school with the plaque of "UNESCO World Heritage Education Experimental School", which is the only one in the world. The school's exploration in research-based learning and subject competitions has built a platform for outstanding talents to stand out. In recent years, gifted students have won 1 1 gold, 5 silver and 5 bronze in international middle school students' academic competitions, among which 8 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze were won in international middle school students' Olympic academic competitions. Students in the science laboratory have won 8 gold medals, 9 silver medals and 8 bronze medals in the National Youth Science and Technology Innovation Competition. In 2007 and 2008, three scientific research projects in our school participated in the Intel International Science and Engineering Competition and won the second prize and the third prize respectively.
In the process of leading the sound and rapid development of the school, President Gao Chen always pays attention to "international education". In July, 2008, as the sole representative of a comprehensive senior high school, President Gao Chen was invited to give a speech at the Forum on Cross-cultural Education and School Strategic Development held by the Training Center for Middle School Principals of the Ministry of Education. She said, "Yucai has vigorously promoted all-round, multi-field and high-level international cooperation and exchanges in the process of experimental exploration and practice of gifted education. Over the years, we have established sister school relationships with 14 elite education schools in the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea and Singapore, and gradually established an international exchange platform of corresponding scale. In recent years, the school has received an average of more than 200 international tourists every year, and 70 teachers and students have participated in international exchanges. Frequent international exchanges have become a broad stage for talented students to experience the qualities of leaders, which has cultivated students' mind and quality of understanding and accommodating different cultures and customs. The ability to distinguish and choose multiple values; The spirit of autonomous learning and cooperative inquiry. Since 2004, around the world economy and Sino-US relations, research has been carried out between gifted students and students of Illinois Institute of Mathematics and Science, which has broadened students' international horizons and promoted their development ... "Mr. Daley, the mayor of Chicago, USA, once commented:" I have seen the quality of life of the next generation of China people from talented students in Northeast China. "
Chen Xiaoya, Vice Minister of Education, and Wei Yu, former Vice Minister of Education, visited the school respectively and spoke highly of the school. State Councilor Chen Zhili, accompanied by Minister Zhou Ji, inspected the school. She believes that Yucai has reached the domestic first-class level in teaching reform, hardware facilities and teachers. After the exchange and discussion, the visiting delegation of American primary and secondary school principals could not help sighing: "I didn't expect such a good school in China" and Yucai "prepared a tomorrow for every child".
