Today, with the implementation of the new curriculum, knowledge is enriching us all the time, and school management cannot be separated from continuous learning and innovation. As school administrators, we should always take Professor Zhong Zhixian's phrase "once and for all" as the spiritual specimen of our recollection, and it is a myth of masturbation to keep constant while changing. In order to survive and develop, our biggest worry is that we accidentally become illiterate. "Words to remind yourself. To this end, I constantly explore and learn from the successful experience of other schools in school management for my use, creatively carry out my work, and strive to find a way to run a rural middle school. Now I will talk about some immature views on how to be a good school principal in rural areas.
First, raise awareness, change ideas and prescribe the right medicine.
As the principal of a school. First of all, we should straighten our position, straighten our posture and carry out creative work. Because as a rural middle school, it faces many difficulties. The first is the shortage of funds and the decrease of students. The concept of running a school is rigid, and management can't keep up with the situation. Secondly, teachers' teaching concept is relatively backward. At the same time, we should handle and coordinate the surrounding relations. So, first of all, don't complain and sigh in the face of difficulties. As a principal, you should have firm confidence and determination to overcome difficulties. Conceptually, we should completely get rid of the idea of equality and dependence and explore educational reform with brand-new ideas and new ideas. Organize all teachers to watch once a week to learn their advanced experience in running schools. As for the coordination of peripheral relations, I led a group of administrators to go deep into the surrounding villages for many times to conduct research and obtain first-hand information from teachers and the masses. In order to create a good and harmonious campus environment, our school actively prepares and holds a discussion hall, and invites the local party committee and government, the main leaders of the police station, and all cadres of the two committees of the village branch under its jurisdiction to discuss education together and seek common development plans for the school.
Second, improve their own literacy and ability, and establish a Scientific Outlook on Development.
Today, with the implementation of curriculum reform, school teaching management should inherit and carry forward the traditional educational experience while innovating. When exploring the ways and methods of reform, the headmaster should also assess the situation, carefully analyze the current situation of the school, and further explore the school-running ideas that are more conducive to the development of the school and the healthy growth of students. We must not blindly follow the trend, but learn from the experience of running schools in different schools and regions, and persist in inheriting and carrying forward the Scientific Outlook on Development of seeking truth from facts for analysis, research and development. Only in this way can the school run a school with people better than me and people better than me. In view of the present situation of the school, I ask the Academic Affairs Office to hold an open class of the "four links" teaching mode of the new curriculum reform for all faculty members every period. Give a pertinent evaluation and concrete analysis to each teacher's teaching. Find experience from practice and learn from practice. Let our teachers move from a closed and narrow world to an open and broad stage. So as to improve the ability and quality.
Third, change the role and let yourself actively participate in the reform.
In practical work, many principals feel that they are supreme in school and often give orders. But I lowered my attitude. The headmaster will always be a teacher, and his surname will always be Jiao. I want to be a scholar and a master principal. In school, you should be a commander and a combatant. In teaching, you should rush to the front line, actively participate in teaching reform, become the leader of teaching and scientific research, and make the teachers completely convinced. I firmly believe that "a good principal is a good school", so I often go deep into the teaching and research group, study new courses among teachers, explore new models, and attend and evaluate more than 30 classes each time. Because only through teaching and scientific research can education really improve the quality of education, the professional level of teachers, the idea of "people-oriented" in running schools and the healthy and sustainable development of students.
Fourth, pay close attention to internal management and comprehensively improve the construction of teaching staff.
Under the situation that the new curriculum reform is intensifying, strengthening the construction of teachers is the key to implementing quality education and grasping the curriculum reform. The fundamental strategy for the sustainable development of education is to improve the overall quality of teachers. Any successful principal should make great efforts in the construction of the teaching staff and improve the overall quality of the teaching staff. Key points: First, pay attention to teachers' morality. It is the foundation of teachers; The quality of teachers' morality and style directly affects the image of the whole education; Second, grasp the change of teachers' concept. In order to truly realize the road of "concept change, comprehensive practice, theoretical perfection and gradual maturity" in the wave of curriculum reform, schools must actively practice, boldly explore and fully spread. School leaders and teachers actively go deep into the front line; Third, attach importance to teachers' professional quality and teacher training. To implement the "Teacher Quality Improvement Project", schools must further strengthen teachers' continuing education and professional training, constantly improve teachers' professional level and ability, and formulate a series of training plans. Actively encourage teachers to participate in educational research, take part in open classes, write teaching papers, and carry out various competitions to provide a training stage for teachers to grow rapidly.
In a word, the principal's thought of running a school is the result of long-term and profound thinking on educational practice, which requires the principal to be good at learning, researching and summarizing. It is necessary to establish the concept of "achieving teachers' achievement in education" so that teachers can have hope, confidence and expectation. In this respect, no matter how busy you are, you should take the time to study, and pay special attention to the cultivation of the ability to receive information, process information and creatively apply information. As long as we persistently pursue, dare to explore, and conscientiously do every job with our responsibility and conscience, we will create a good situation for education.

Practice and experience of being a qualified rural primary school principal under the new situation
Xinzhou Middle School Tang Guangfan
(2065438+26 August 2003)
August this year1-August 10, organized to participate in the "National Training Program" (20 13): short-term intensive training for junior high school principals in Hunan Province. The training has enabled me to further understand the vivid education and teaching theory, the latest achievements of school scientific management and the frontier trends of basic education reform and development, to have a deeper understanding of "how to strengthen and improve middle school management under the background of quality education" and to have a more realistic thinking on how to be a good rural school principal under the new situation. At today's forum, I want to report to you from three aspects. Please criticize and correct the shortcomings!
First, face up to the outstanding problems faced by rural schools
At present, the outstanding problems faced by rural schools are as follows: First, security. The running environment of rural schools is relatively poor, and safety accidents such as student activities, diet and traffic may occur at any time. In front of the parents of rural students who seem to have no legal awareness today, the school must not have a safety accident, otherwise the principal will be punished, the salary will be reduced, the post will be removed, and the school will be jailed. Not only will it suffer economic losses, but its reputation will also be eroded, which will become an obstacle to the development of the school.
The second is quality. In recent years, the teachers in rural schools in our city are seriously aging, the subject structure is seriously unreasonable, and the conditions for running schools are not as good as those in urban schools, which objectively leads some high-quality students to flood into urban schools to share relatively high-quality educational resources. The quality of education in rural schools is gradually lagging behind or even far lower than that in urban schools, and it also shows a downward trend compared with its own vertical. In front of parents who are highly concerned about the quality of education in the whole society, the quality of education in a school can only flourish and will never decline. Otherwise, the status of individual teachers in the eyes of parents will be seriously discounted, and the principal will not stand up straight in society, lift his head and say nothing. In the worst case, most parents are dissatisfied with the school's work, mean and slanderous, and even refuse students to find another prestigious school without hesitation. If this goes on, a terrible vicious circle will be formed, and the school will be embarrassed and entangled, and its survival and development will be unsustainable.
The third is money. Although the annual national congress and newspaper documents theoretically require increasing investment in education, the gap between urban and rural areas is still widening due to the uneven distribution of resources. For example, almost all schools directly under Changde City have plastic sports fields, and the school is worried about the inexhaustible money. The educational investment in rural schools is still seriously insufficient, and the phenomenon of debt management is a major feature of rural schools today. The debt problem is as terrible as nightmares and demons, and it does harm to the school's body and mind, and there is no cure. Various pre-examination evaluations of education are also constantly added to the contradiction of school expenditure, which makes it worse and more in debt.
Second, the practice and thinking of solving the realistic dilemma of rural schools
1, the principal should be confident, self-disciplined and self-reliant. In the face of many difficulties, the principal must be confident, advance despite difficulties and persevere; We should focus on the future and think rationally; We must be full of lofty sentiments, take the lead and be invincible. Don't be carried away by temporary difficulties and lose confidence, otherwise you will not be able to lead your team to triumph, let alone do a good job in rural education, create achievements and achieve brilliant career. Second, self-discipline, self-discipline. As a headmaster of a rural school, we should always keep in mind our status as a headmaster and foreman, be strict with ourselves according to the responsibilities of the headmaster, and have a strong sense of professionalism, a high sense of responsibility and the spirit of giving up others. Be sensitive, good at seeking, take the lead, be good at making peace and be brave in doing things. Third, we must constantly strive for self-improvement. Self-improvement is not conceit, not boasting, but self-knowledge: the headmaster of a rural school is not an official, but a pioneer of education and teaching, an explorer of governance education, a social focus of quality and efficiency, and an ascetic who has to watch the rickshaw puller. The headmaster should always know what he should do, how to do it, what risks there are, and calculate geometry. Don't be arrogant and arbitrary, but respect members, make democratic decisions, and do it yourself, so that deliberation, decision-making and work can be fruitful.
2. The headmaster should clarify the scope of responsibilities, relax and orderly, and reduce pressure and increase efficiency for himself. In today's educational background, there are endless central tasks such as safety responsibility, teaching quality, improvement conditions, increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, social order, and welcoming inspection, sweeping streets and picking up garbage. Which principal hasn't been troubled by fire? Besides, society, parents and even students are in the spotlight of Marxism-Leninism, and there is little introspection. The school is required to be perfect, and there is no room for a "headache" in the school. As the first responsible person, the principal is under pressure like a millstone, and sometimes it is difficult to breathe! Therefore, the headmaster should be bold and cautious, not only be clear about his responsibilities, but also take time off to decompress himself, so as to be able to "grasp the big and let go of the small" and "do something" with discretion. Otherwise, I am busy, confused, dizzy and tired all day, and I don't know what I have done all day when I calm down. So how do you decompress yourself properly? I think: first of all, we should have the concept of hierarchical management and formulate a scientific and practical management system. Only from top to bottom can the channels be unblocked. It is necessary to clarify the responsibilities of team members and even each faculty member, who should be in charge of this matter and who should be assured to handle it. But rest assured is not the same as being the shopkeeper of cutting. Try to do everything well, not everything assigned. Secondly, strengthen the awareness of democratic management, establish and improve the system of staff congress with teachers as the main body, promote democratic management and supervision, and discuss and decide on major issues of the unit. Fully respect the faculty's status as masters of the school, inform the faculty of the school's goals, plans, ideas and difficulties in a timely manner, seek the understanding and support of the faculty, and make suggestions for the survival and development of the school. Improve the meeting system, hold relevant meetings regularly, strengthen information communication, speak freely, brainstorm, promote democracy, brainstorm, and jointly solve difficult things or things that you can't consider mature scientific decisions. Third, we should be good at "avoiding", learn to refuse, and know how to concentrate on anti-interference. We should fully believe in the potential of the vice president and other team members, strictly follow the division of functions, implement what the vice president and other team members can do, and feedback the results. In this way, the principal can do it just right and easily.
3. The headmaster should organize the whole chapter and standardize running schools. First, we should attach great importance to the establishment and improvement of various rules and regulations. Only by establishing strict, reasonable and feasible rules and regulations can we really get rid of the burden of "managing people" and standardize people by acting according to the rules. However, while emphasizing the implementation of school rules and regulations, we should pay special attention to flexible people-oriented management, pay full attention to teachers' personal values, give full play to teachers' subjective initiative and creativity, and fully consider whether school rules and regulations are conducive to the development of teachers and students. Only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort and really improve the efficiency of school management. The second is to formulate short-term plans and medium-and long-term goals. We should make a plan that can be achieved through hard work, and steadily pursue the realization of medium and long-term goals on the premise of continuously achieving short-term goals. The third is to standardize school-running behavior. Strictly following the instructions of the superiors can effectively avoid or reduce the responsibility of the school for safety accidents. The principal can be less criticized in all kinds of inspections at all levels, and can also make the school take fewer detours and get the development of health science.
4. The headmaster should be a panacea for stabilizing the team. At present, with the ups and downs of the market economy, it is an indisputable fact that teachers in rural schools leave their jobs. The poor environment, poor conditions and poor treatment in rural schools make it difficult for ordinary teachers to retain, let alone stable and promising outstanding young and middle-aged teachers. As a principal, it is useless to criticize and complain too much about it. Rational and calm observation of teachers' job-hopping and outflow in succession is nothing more than the entanglement of environment, treatment and status. We should keep "golden phoenix" and stabilize the "backbone". According to experience, there are probably the following feasible methods: First, it is often said that career retention. We should appoint people on their merits and generously give those who actively demand progress a platform for development, so that heroes can be useful and the margin can shine. Second, the treatment that is ashamed to export, the most important thing is to keep people. It is necessary to ensure that excellent teachers and backbone teachers are worth their money and give full play to their talents. We should put honor and aura firmly on their heads and scientifically improve their status in the school. The third is the environmental conditions that make people stretch their hands and feet. Efforts should be made to improve the teaching and research environment and create good office conditions. Encourage all teachers to combine study and work organically, and on the basis of doing a good job in school-based teaching and research, support teachers mentally and materially to participate in various teaching and research activities such as going out to attend lectures and competitions, and promote the establishment of good interpersonal relationships among teachers to reach the inseparable realm. The fourth is to keep people emotionally. Principals should listen, watch, walk, talk and communicate more. Find the advantages of the faculty, encourage them in time, find the disadvantages and put forward them appropriately. Convince people with reason, love people with love, and convince people with reason, so that every teacher feels that the principal has me in his heart. Teachers should feel that it is more simple to work and live in rural schools in promising fields, but they can feel that being a teacher in rural areas is a bright green leaf with noble mind and pure and full juice, a happy giver of a burning heart and a warm guide, rooted in rural Shan Ye, and has no regrets about work, life and dedication.
The headmaster should have a distinct personality and avoid going with the flow. A successful school must be a school with outstanding characteristics and a principal with distinctive personality. The headmaster must have personality and avant-garde school-running concept, the teachers in this school must be a creative team, and the students in this school must be a group of students with active thoughts and characteristics. To do this, first of all, the headmaster should adapt to the requirements of the times and understand the ideological essence of quasi-quality education for all students. Fully understand the concept of balanced education, not only do a good job in cultivating excellent students, but also give every top student a chance to go up a storey still higher and give the leading geese a broader sky; Never give up the "poor students", let the poor students have the joy of progress and climb up step by step. Secondly, the headmaster should understand the importance of "opening the curriculum in an all-round way" Principals should dare to explore and innovate, be good at tapping all available resources and organize a series of interest group activities. Now there are children's palaces in rural schools, and interest groups such as Chinese, mathematics, English, sports, calligraphy and painting can be set up. Encourage students' unbalanced development and allow them to "lead in a single subject". This is not only conducive to casting characteristic schools, but also conducive to cultivating students with personality. Third, principals should devote themselves to raising education funds through various means. We should make good use of all available resources and actively carry out donation activities. Try our best to alleviate the serious shortage of school funds, try our best to solve the welfare treatment of teachers without violating laws and regulations, enhance teachers' teaching enthusiasm, and improve teachers' life and happiness index.
Third, look forward to the future of rural education in Tianjin and look forward to the world.
1, worried. Education is a systematic project as well as a global project. First-class education is the foundation for the formation of first-class citizens, and it is only natural for the whole society to participate and work together. However, with the passage of time and the persistence of economic construction, the attention, support and responsibility of the township party committees and governments where rural schools are located seem to be gradually shrinking, leaving a lingering shadow, which casts a trace of anxiety on the fiery heart of rural school principals.
2. be happy. In recent years, Tianjin Education Bureau has carried out reform and development around the overall requirements of the "Five Actions" education work, and achieved remarkable results, which encouraged the principals and teachers of rural schools. It can be said that they are happy and happy. First, the investment in education is tilted towards rural schools. The Education Bureau is responsible for the construction funds and school maintenance funds of qualified schools, and schools will no longer worry about the lack of funds for inspection and evaluation. Second, teachers' "five insurances and one gold" and other related policies and benefits are paid by the municipal finance, which greatly relieves the financial pressure of the school. Thirdly, all newly graduated normal students and recruited teachers teach in rural schools, which greatly alleviates the unreasonable age structure of rural school teachers. The fourth is to truly take the quality of education as the core of work and implement the responsibility system to ensure the quality of education. Rural schools have received direct attention and guidance from the leaders of the Education Bureau, and the effect is obvious. Fifth, the centralized training of teachers at all levels has been strengthened, which provides oxygen for teachers to update their knowledge and improve their skills, thus improving the overall quality of teachers.
3. There is hope. Further standardize the enrollment behavior in the compulsory education stage, carefully adjust the educational layout, strictly follow the principle of "admission nearby" stipulated in the Compulsory Education Law, and leave room for the survival and development of rural schools, so that rural schools and urban schools are basically at the same starting line in terms of students. In this way, the enthusiasm of rural school principals and teachers has been mobilized, and the enthusiasm for improving the quality of education has gradually become full. The bright future of education in Tianjin has just begun to emerge.
