This is a general education book for teachers. The editor-in-chief is Mr. Yu Yi, a national model of teaching and educating people. On the cover of this book, there is such a small line: "If you want your child's life to be different, then be a teacher!" This is a sincere invitation and a heavy responsibility of educators. Teachers' responsibility of teaching and educating people is to make students' life values get the best performance and have their own beauty, beauty, beauty and harmony.

The Outline of the National Medium-and Long-Term Education Reform and Development Plan (20 10—2020) emphasizes that "efforts should be made to cultivate a team of high-quality professional teachers with noble professional ethics, exquisite professional skills and full of vitality, emphasizing that teachers should care for students, be strict and trustworthy, be indifferent to fame and fortune, be self-respecting and self-disciplined, educate students with personality charm and knowledge charm, and be guides and guides for their healthy growth".

First, the uniqueness of teachers' work.

Ye Lan, a tenured professor and doctoral supervisor of East China Normal University, mentioned in an interview that the teaching profession is unique and has a special mission. "The teaching profession is different from other professions. Teachers pay more attention to the spiritual world of children and teenagers and their lifelong development. Other majors pay more attention to material production. At present, the mission of teachers is to make students adapt to the changes of the times, live out the meaning and value of life, realize the value of life, and fulfill their civic responsibilities to this society. "

"Today, we particularly emphasize the understanding of the nature of teachers' work: teachers are not simple knowledge transmitters, but knowledge creators. This kind of creation is manifested as' transformation'. He transformed the spiritual wealth of human beings into the spiritual wealth of students' personal growth. This transformation process reflects the unique challenges and charm of education. "

The charm of teachers must be related to "creativity". As teachers, we need to stimulate students' spiritual potential with creative wisdom instead of repeated training. Only by creatively transforming knowledge can we adapt to the development of students.

Second, how to solve the difficult problem of "education does not educate people" in current education.

At present, there is a problem of "educating people but not educating them", which is a manifestation of "alienation" in education. The main reasons for this problem are: due to the over-emphasis on scores, the education object is a living individual; Paying too much attention to the improvement of teachers' professional quality and neglecting the cultivation of teachers' overall personality will not be conducive to the improvement of teachers' educational charm, because teachers' charm includes not only "the charm of knowledge" but also "the charm of personality", and overemphasizing knowledge without paying attention to personality is not conducive to teachers' "all-round" development.

The development of teachers is not limited to professional training. Teacher development is the development of the whole person. Teachers present all their personalities in front of students, not just majors. Teachers should have their own understanding of education and undertake educational responsibilities. To realize that "students' life is both the softest and the most fragile", it needs teachers' care and training. It is a person's happiness to meet a good teacher all his life.

Third, the charm of education.

The term "educational charm" is put forward in the Outline of the National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020), that is, a good teacher should have both personality charm and academic charm. "The charm of education is not only to be a good teacher, but that every teacher firmly believes that the work he is engaged in needs to be created. The charm of education is the charm of creation and the charm of creating life development. " The main expression of personality charm is "sincerely helping others", and sincerity is the basis of personality charm; Helping others means that teachers "should help students develop and gradually cultivate students to pay attention to their own development and become self-conscious people". A teacher should be a person who pursues sustainable development.

Fourth, how do teachers cultivate educational charm?

(1) Learning: Standing at the height of culture.

Mr. Yu Yi, who won the title of "National Model of Teaching and Educating People" for the first time, pointed out three paths of "repeated study of important theories, in-depth study, broadening horizons and extensive study" for the teachers based on years of teaching experience. Whether he is a university teacher, a middle school teacher or a primary school teacher, he is an intellectual, so the charm of teachers lies in how many human cultural achievements they have inherited. Learning from a cultural height is an important way for teachers to enhance their educational charm. Studying the growth paths of teachers such as Suhomlinski, Tao Xingzhi, Yu Yi, Qian Menglong, Yu Yongzheng, Wei Shusheng, Li Jilin and Li Zhenxi, we will find that the growth of these famous educators reflects the importance of cultural learning.

Teachers should not only learn from books, but also learn from their predecessors and outstanding people around them. "Through learning, we can stimulate the description and people's sense of mission and responsibility, learn the educational spirit of outstanding people, understand the true meaning and laws of education, learn from the experience of senior teachers in education and teaching, and be good at understanding."

(2) Practice: Facing the educational scene.

The cultivation and exercise of educational charm requires teachers to proceed from educational practice, take root in the soil like a tree, and fully absorb nutrients in order to flourish. Therefore, "the educational charm of teachers lies in educational practice, so that love and responsibility shine in sowing, selfless character is carried forward in dedication, dedication is condensed in persistence, and excellent quality is improved in research." Nowadays, the emphasis on "research teachers" and "academic teachers" requires teachers to have their own "fields" and make constant efforts. The scene of teachers' teaching is in the classroom, the scene of educating people is in students' life, and educational research should also be in the "scene". Teachers should give full play to the role of action research and handle the relationship of "book-person-classroom-student".

(C) thinking: to enhance the educational realm

Teachers should combine thinking, learning and practice organically, thinking in learning and practicing in learning. Socrates said that "a life without introspection is not worth living" and "an education without thinking is not worth doing". Reflection runs through every process of teaching. Professor Ye Lan once said, "A teacher may not grow up after teaching for ten years, but he will grow up after writing a teaching diary for one year. This is the power of reflection. "

Teacher Yu Yi once said, "I am self-reflective, and students have the opportunity and space to give full play to their intelligence in classroom teaching. Unfortunately, they are often "insensitive", inadvertently squeezing out opportunities and depriving them of space, so that the seeds of creative consciousness are easily lost. Remember the lesson, remember it: protect, protect humbly. "

As an attractive teacher, you need to keep thinking and improve through thinking.
