Some people think that "the competition of schools in the future, in the final analysis, is the competition of school culture, and principals should be good at gradually accumulating campus culture in educational practice and become an educational influence and an educational resource with great potential". In my opinion, a good school must have excellent campus culture, which is the cornerstone of a school education brand. Our school attaches great importance to the construction of campus culture, adheres to the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, aims to comprehensively implement the educational policy and improve the quality of education and teaching, and takes the comprehensive implementation of quality education and the cultivation of students' innovative spirit and practical ability as the starting point; Adhere to the construction of campus culture as an important starting point and carrier for the development of school brand and characteristics, and highlight the educational concept of "people-oriented, harmonious education"; Insist on educating people with elegant campus material culture, inspire people with noble campus spiritual culture and spur people with scientific campus system culture. After more than one year's careful management and construction, our school's campus culture construction has made great progress, formed its own campus cultural characteristics, created a good humanistic environment and harmonious development atmosphere for the growth of students, the improvement of teachers and the development of the school, and promoted the overall improvement of teachers and students' quality and the self-improvement of school-running taste. Campus culture has truly become the radiation source and energy pool of quality education in schools.
Create a noble and elegant campus humanistic environment
The humanistic environment endows the school with vitality and embodies the spiritual outlook and cultural heritage of a school. Suhomlinski said: "Let every wall on campus speak, and let every environment educate people". Our school insists on paying equal attention to the natural environment and humanistic environment on campus. While constantly improving the natural environment of the campus, we should try our best to tap the humanistic elements of the campus, promote the organic integration and harmonious development of the natural environment and the humanistic environment of the campus, create a big classroom for ideological and moral education, and create an educational effect of "persuading students through grass and spreading messages through walls", so that all the places that students look at have educational significance!
1. Clarify responsibilities and realize refined management culture.
In accordance with the refined management idea of "defining management objectives, strengthening work responsibilities, paying attention to process supervision and ensuring work effectiveness", our school actively guides all teachers to seriously implement the refined management method of "everything is managed, everything is managed, everyone is managed, and everyone is managed". The main methods of implementing refined management and two routines are: defining the objectives, keeping a close eye on the process, doing small things in detail, and changing "result management" into "process management", thus refining the work links, strengthening process supervision and making all the work of routine management more solid.
2. Create a slogan culture with strong atmosphere
Campus slogan culture is a potential, continuous and relatively stable educational factor and cultural phenomenon. It can subtly influence teachers and students' ideas and behaviors, and enhance their personality charm and life value. Our school attaches great importance to the educational function of slogan culture, and organically integrates the creation of slogan cultural atmosphere with the construction of scholarly campus, safe campus and harmonious campus. Every classroom, office, staircase, railing and eye-catching position on campus are marked with celebrity reading maxims, safety tips and civilized reminders, so that teachers and students can talk with celebrities at any time and feel the scholarly campus. The school also attaches great importance to the construction of warning slogans, exerts the collective wisdom of all teachers and students, and collects various warning slogans, which complement each other with cultural slogans. For example, each class set up a warm reminder for the adopted young tree: "Love breeds life", "Green is life, green is hope", "We grow together" and "Love me". Set up supervision posts for flowerpots on campus, and erect civilized warning signs such as "Beauty flows away from here" and "My beauty is in your hands"; Combined with the situation and characteristics of our school, it is put forward that "you move beautifully;" Study, you are great; Practice, you are really good ",and create a strong atmosphere of" health, study and activity ".
3. Form a rich and colorful layout culture.
Campus layout culture is a window for a school to display its spiritual outlook and exchange ideas and culture, and it is also an important place for humanistic environment education in the school. Our school is committed to the construction of campus layout culture, making full use of the corridors at all levels of the campus and opening up a number of layout groups. According to their location, these page groups endow different levels and strata with cultural propaganda functions. Except for two pages sent by the principal to teachers and students, the other pages are entrusted to all grades of the school for independent use, and students are required to participate in page management and change page contents regularly, so that campus pages can truly become a garden for communication and exchange of ideas and a position for students' cultural activities, thus forming a colorful campus page culture.
4. Develop a distinctive floor and stair culture.
As one of the main places for students' activities, the stairs and corridors of the school are also big places for the construction of campus humanities and culture. Our school organically integrates corridor culture and staircase culture, and makes full use of various elements of corridors at all levels of the teaching building, such as walls, square columns and stairwells. Each floor is rationally arranged around relevant educational themes, and the floor culture with distinctive themes such as "Looking at the World" national flag exhibition, "Love My Anyang" scenic spots and historical sites exhibition, China (world) famous school exhibition, "China City Flower" exhibition, "Celebrity Gallery" and "Leadership Responsibility and Working Motto" will be built respectively.
5. Create a unique office and classroom culture.
The deepest part of campus culture is an overall atmosphere, a discourse framework, a value recognition and a interpersonal relationship. People who live in it consciously or unconsciously live in such an atmosphere and speak in such a framework. For example, the Chinese group in our school is now talking about more topics, such as Chinese teaching with affection and wisdom and Chinese teaching in pursuit of meaning. Each subject group in the school has its own characteristics and style. The overall characteristics of the school are also among them. It won't take long for foreign teachers and new teachers to accept this infection. This is the power and function of culture. "Happy teachers have happy children!" Let's use books to support life, let culture nourish the soul, let etiquette become business cards, let art decorate life, let every teacher walk into the office every day, we can all have a happy mood, and let every teacher get happiness and happiness in the office!
Class culture embodies the style of study and spirit of a class. Our school attaches great importance to the construction of classroom culture, insists on delegating the management authority of classroom layout to user classes, allows user classes to design and beautify classrooms according to their own ideas, and encourages each class to boldly design and innovate classroom diaries, wall warning signs, classroom blackboard newspapers, podium decorations, etc. , thus creating a unique classroom culture.
6. Mirror Culture of "Seven Ones a Day, Grateful Action"
Smile more, talk sweeter, behave prettily, have a smaller temper, be kind to others, be careful and have a stronger ability, which is called "Seven Little Points" for short. This is my gratitude to the proofreader, asking the teacher to learn to be grateful from the details. To this end, the school specially made seven dots into slogans and posted them on the mirrors of each office. The reason why it is posted on the mirror is that every teacher wants to see himself in the mirror while tidying up his appearance, and at the same time see the slogan reminding himself to keep a happy mood at all times. Although it is only a small slogan, it is actually a high requirement for teachers' spiritual level. At present, teachers are under great pressure. In addition to normal teaching work, there are projects, activities and other work. Every teacher has a heavy burden on his shoulders. Sometimes his mood is inevitably low, which may lead to job burnout for a long time. The seven requirements are that every teacher can look at the world from a different angle, remind teachers to look at things around them with gratitude, and adjust their mood and job burnout with gratitude. For example, naughty students make teachers exhausted, but when teachers decorate and beautify the classroom, many children will bring the best flowers at home. "This is not moved for the teacher? Shouldn't teachers treat children with gratitude? " Similarly, the school treats every teacher with gratitude, provides training opportunities for teachers and improves the office environment, which is also an action of the school to thank teachers.
7. Let the bell become the "cultural field" of the school.
"Classmates, it's time for class. Please prepare for class! " Hello, teacher, before class in the morning! Musical ringtones, such as singing and laughing after class at noon, sympathizing with farmers before class in the afternoon, and saxophone solo coming home from school in the afternoon, inadvertently remind teachers and students to develop behavior habits, so that teachers and students can work, study and rest in a beautiful atmosphere ... These unique cultural elements are organically combined, making ringtones a "cultural field" of the school and making teachers and students feel comfortable. The school thinks about the cultural construction of the campus with positive innovative thinking, and reflects and spreads the wisdom culture, normative culture and spiritual culture through certain carriers, so that the extension of the school culture is broadened at once, and the space for educational development is "squared" many times at once.
8. Writing about the toilet culture of human civilization
As an environmental education force, the ultimate goal of campus culture is to create an atmosphere. I think the construction of campus culture should also include toilet culture. When human beings developed to think that they were civilized, toilets appeared. The appearance of the toilet is natural and timely, so that human beings who are beginning to feel ashamed can solve this embarrassment in time. We have praised the diligence of cows and the loyalty of dogs, but don't forget the silent toilet and bury your head in writing chapters for human civilization.
Toilet, when the word is mentioned, there is no need to mention the feelings in my heart. What about culture? But now the toilet is changing more and more, with more and more connotations. In high-end restaurants, hotels or highway service areas, you can often see the prompt words such as "one small step forward, one big step forward" in the men's toilet, and sometimes it is really meaningful to think about it. Civilization sometimes needs such a little effort. You can prepare several formulas in the school toilet to help students remember, or write some small knowledge to remind students of health jokes, so that students can relax temporarily after being nervous.
When you go to school to check your work, you often don't forget to look at the toilet. If a school's toilet facilities are complete and not destroyed, it shows that students are of high quality; If the hygiene is clean and tidy, and there is no peculiar smell, it means that the management is in place; If there is a cultural atmosphere and an elegant environment, it represents the school-running taste of the leaders.
Strengthen system construction and inspire people with perfect campus system culture.
As the internal mechanism of campus culture, campus institutional culture is an indispensable guarantee mechanism to maintain the normal operation of the school, with the functions of cognitive orientation, emotional edification and behavioral norms. As a kind of campus culture, the school management system must be based on its own culture, serve its own campus spiritual culture, and well embody and integrate the school's ideas and concepts. At the same time, we should also realize that a good system should move from text to culture. Whether the system is a kind of culture depends mainly on whether the system that embodies the idea, concept and spirit of running a school can be truly implemented. Therefore, in the process of promoting the construction of campus institutional culture in an all-round way, our school insists on "establishing and perfecting various management systems" and "strengthening and perfecting the corresponding organization and team building", implements the division of functions of various departments in the school, and strengthens the supervision and implementation of various systems, so that all systems are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and internalized into the code of conduct of teachers and students throughout the school, forming a campus institutional culture.
School leaders set an example by demanding quality, efficiency and image from management, reducing the management focus and focusing on implementation. The school believes that the life of the system lies in motivation, the effectiveness of the system lies in implementation, and the key to system implementation lies in leadership. In the practice of teaching management, schools use systems to manage, train and motivate people. Everyone is equal before the system, leaders practice, leaders serve teachers, teachers serve students, strive for perfection, and combine emotional management with system management. I shape my tree, start with me, lead everyone to do it and show it to everyone. School leaders take the lead in learning, scientific research and dedication. Go deep into the front line of teaching and study teaching. The leading group has no less than 8 classes per week, and the teachers have no less than 4 classes.
Relying on the Junior Military Academy, to create a behavioral culture with standardized words and deeds.
Since its establishment in 200 1, our military junior military academy has carefully designed and carried out a series of fruitful activities around the cultivation of innovative spirit and practical ability, according to the age characteristics of children, so that students can experience moral behavior norms in the activities, cultivate good conduct in practice, and create a characteristic campus behavior culture with our military junior military academy as the carrier. The goal of developing a good code of conduct is self-discipline, the key is implementation and the key is persistence. From the location of arrangement and installation to the absence of teachers' supervision and management in classroom practice, from the placement of desks and chairs and stationery to students' classroom activities and behaviors, the student-oriented educational thought of our school is reflected everywhere, and students' ability of self-management and self-education is cultivated. The school encourages and requires every student with "strict military style, hard will, civilized and polite behavior, and team spirit of friendship and mutual assistance", making the juvenile military academy a highlight of our school, standardizing the students' behavior habits and forming a unique behavior culture on campus.
Coagulate campus spirit and inspire people with noble campus spiritual culture.
Campus spiritual culture is the core of campus culture, the soul of a school and the concentrated reflection of the essence, personality and mental outlook of a school. Campus spiritual culture mainly includes campus historical traditions and ideologies such as common cultural concepts, values and life concepts recognized by all teachers and students, which is a concentrated reflection of the essence, personality and mental outlook of a school. Campus spiritual culture is also called "school spirit", which is reflected in school spirit, teaching spirit, study style, class spirit, school interpersonal relationship and so on.
1. Strengthen the concept of running a school and unite people with first-class school goals.
The idea of running a school is the soul of the school and the soul of the school culture. It is not a simple external implantation process, nor is it just a reflection of the principal's school-running thought, but a process of pursuing the essence of education. The construction of campus culture should refine the idea of running a school and educating people to reflect the requirements of the times and form spiritual culture. In the 46-year history of running a school, Doufuying Primary School adheres to the school-running spirit and development attitude of "unity and cooperation, pioneering and enterprising, seeking truth from facts and innovation" and carries out in-depth education and teaching reform. The new leadership team put forward the goal of "running a school with a soul, being a thoughtful teacher and cultivating students with personality", and tried to explore the new working idea of "developing a school with characteristics, innovating and strengthening a school with high quality", constantly improving the strength and influence of the school in educational innovation, gradually forming a school-running culture and highlighting the school-running concept. Nowadays, the school has established the school-running philosophy of "making teaching and scientific research a magic weapon to improve quality, making practice a life feature of teachers and students, making art a life pursuit of teachers and students, and making physical education a life habit of teachers and students", taking "laying the foundation for students' development and educating people for social progress" as its school-running purpose, and has formed the eight-character school motto of "seeking truth from the sun, being wise and innovative", "being civilized and happy to learn, being realistic and innovative".
2. Inspire people with the spirit of "unity, hard work and dedication".
The quality of campus culture comes from the quality of people and ultimately depends on the quality of teachers. Without teachers' consciousness, love and practice of culture, the principal's idea is just a castle in the air, not to mention the all-round development of students. Ushinski, an educator in the former Soviet Union, also believed that "everything should be based on the personality of educators ... only personality can affect the development and formation of personality." Therefore, high-quality campus culture is inseparable from high-quality teachers. Our school regards the overall improvement of teachers' comprehensive quality as the focus of campus spiritual and cultural construction, and calls on all teachers to follow the example of physical education teachers around them and learn the "bean sports spirit". Although there is a serious shortage of PE teachers and students in our school, we can still achieve impressive results. The reason is that small PE teachers have an indomitable spirit, that is, the spirit of "unity, hard work and dedication". Facing the critical moment of the sudden emergence of brother schools, the new leadership team put forward the slogan of "People without me, people with me without me", and decided to take Shaolin Wushu as a breakthrough to dig deep into the sports connotation and make the sports characteristics of our school more distinctive and exciting. All teachers are required to play their roles from their mental outlook, moral cultivation, work style and knowledge level to gfd, manners and daily life, and strive to be a new type of bean primary school teacher with unique cultural charm and popular with students.
Campus culture construction is a systematic project and a long-term work. Strengthening the construction of campus culture is not only the need of school education, but also the need of the times and society. Campus culture is an important construction project for a school to create its own characteristics and establish its brand.
