How to do a good job in school management
The wave of basic education curriculum reform is rolling in, impacting every primary and secondary school. It will make the basic education in China undergo historic changes and development, and pose new challenges to schools, principals and teachers. The educational concept of the new curriculum requires the change of school management concept and the role orientation of principals, and requires principals to adopt corresponding new strategies in management activities. First, the headmaster should establish a new school management concept, which is in line with the new curriculum reform. With the fundamental changes in the value and nature of schools, school leaders, especially principals, must stand at the forefront of educational reform, change old management concepts, establish modern school management concepts, focus on the all-round development of teachers and students, and creatively carry out all kinds of work. (1) Educational management has changed from institutional management to people-oriented management. Suhomlinski believes that there is a deep-rooted need in people's hearts, that is, to be a discoverer, researcher and explorer. As a teacher, his professional role determines his pursuit of value orientation: getting respect and recognition from others is always more than material benefits. Therefore, when managing teachers, we must establish the following new concepts: 1, trusting teachers, knowing people and being good at their duties. The first is to create a public opinion atmosphere that backbone teachers are the most valuable masters of the school, and to frame the core of backbone teachers' literacy in three aspects: teaching performance, scientific research ability and moral cultivation, so as to guide teachers to attract students with noble personality charm and academic strength. Second, as long as the teachers are promised how many somersaults they can do, the school will build a platform to lean towards outstanding teachers in all aspects and encourage them to make contributions. Third, delegate the authority of business management, return creativity to teachers, make teachers full of intelligent challenges, return responsibilities to teachers, and let teachers creatively integrate, supplement, adjust and broaden courses; Return time and space to teachers, let teachers connect activities with subject teaching, and connect school teachers with family and society. Fourth, fully tap the resources owned by teachers, especially information and interpersonal resources, for the use of schools, and schools reward teachers who provide resources. 2. Ruthless decision-making and emotional operation. The essence of humanistic management is to protect people's self-esteem, stimulate people's emotions and show people's value. Professor Ye Lan said: Education is a life-oriented profession. For teachers, classroom teaching is their professional life. To enrich teachers' professional life, teachers must be encouraged to pursue perfection and challenge themselves. In personnel arrangement, we should follow the principle of equal opportunity and break through the halo effect of employing people. Firstly, find out the characteristics of management objects in personality, experience, work practice, living conditions, social relations, etc., inject positive expectations, encourage teachers to try different teaching methods and choose different education objects, then invite public bidding for posts, and finally issue teachers' work sharing, goals and research tasks at the same time. The goal is layered, reflecting flexibility; Research tasks should be targeted to improve teachers' education and teaching level; Evaluation focuses on promoting teachers' self-growth. (2) Developmental management has changed from power experience management to academic management. Suhomlinski said: the principal's leadership over the school is first of all the leadership of educational ideas and professional guidance, followed by administrative management. Academic management depends on the headmaster's personality charm and academic strength. The main ways and means of educational administration are: 1, and the development of school-based curriculum is guided by the principal's educational philosophy. Innovative education pays attention to the change of students' learning style and emphasizes cooperative learning, autonomous learning and inquiry learning, which requires the development of inquiry courses. The essence of school inquiry curriculum development is an open and democratic decision-making process based on the school, which requires principals, teachers, curriculum experts, students, parents and community people to participate in the formulation, implementation and evaluation of school curriculum plan. The strategy of school-based curriculum development should fully respect and satisfy the uniqueness and difference of teachers and school educational environment, pay attention to the redistribution of educational resources, and attach importance to the continuous enrichment and improvement of curriculum theory and practice. All this needs to be integrated with the principal's educational concept, and the integration function of educational concept is mainly manifested in: how to coordinate school education with the sustainable and all-round development of society; How to integrate the relationship between science and technology and humanities, knowledge and wisdom, thought and action, rationality and irrationality; How to establish an open educational resource system, a democratic and open organizational structure and a self-conscious and self-disciplined internal evaluation mechanism. 2. Implement research school policy and improve teachers' professional quality. Suhomlinski once suggested that the headmaster should guide teachers' interest to the track of education and scientific research. The principal's academic management is first manifested in the constant change of teachers' educational concepts. The principal is the disseminator of advanced educational ideas, and the principal is the teacher. It is the principal's primary duty to carry out school-based training on teachers' educational ideas and help teachers understand the new trend of educational development. Secondly, it is necessary to establish a system in which principals personally ask about teaching and scientific research work, because teaching and scientific research work provides consulting services for education and teaching, so if the principals do not personally grasp it, it will inevitably lead to the difficulty in refining the principals' work intentions, leading to the failure and powerlessness of consulting services. Third, establish an organization and evaluation mechanism. Form an evaluation and guarantee system for teachers' activities of preparing lessons, attending lectures, writing and evaluating papers, researching and observing, and adopt the implementation strategy of emphasizing process, neglecting results, less criticism, multi-guidance and multi-level. 3. Create school characteristics and activate development momentum. The school-running characteristics of the school are highlighted by rational reflection on the basis of the optimal allocation of various resources in the school. It is a school culture with uniqueness and stability. The principal's primary responsibility in academic management is to establish a characteristic school and carry forward its characteristics. Let the characteristics lead and form the centripetal force of cadres; Let the characteristics add luster and activate the creativity of teachers. Secondly, I emphasize the autonomy in the management process, so that teachers can manage and discipline themselves and turn me into an evaluation. Third, emphasize the cooperation in the management process, improve the gold content of decision-making and enhance the affinity of schools. Second, the new curriculum reform calls for the principal to play a new role. Whether the new curriculum can really enter the school depends largely on the headmaster's understanding and recognition of the concept of curriculum reform, and whether he can actively organize and lead this work. How to make teachers understand, accept and truly implement the new curriculum concept in classroom teaching, how to make all aspects of school management coordinated and efficient, and how to make the school truly become a learning organization all need a long adaptation process. However, as a principal, we must take the lead and realize the change of our role first. 1. The headmaster should be the promoter of the new curriculum reform. For a long time, curriculum reform has been led by education authorities or education experts, adopting a top-down reform model. The headmaster always assumes the role of passive performer and has little initiative in the course. The new round of curriculum reform is implemented in every school, and the responsibility lies with every principal. Therefore, principals should first change their ideas, consciously understand new ideas, master new standards, optimize their own curriculum theory literacy, adopt various ways and methods, fully mobilize the enthusiasm of all school staff to participate in curriculum reform, and promote the implementation of new curriculum. 2. The headmaster should be a researcher of the new curriculum reform. The new round of curriculum reform should stay in the teaching process and emphasize the treatment of each teaching link. The interactive change between teachers' specific teaching process and students' learning style is the primary task to strengthen the experimental research of classroom teaching reform at present. Because the core link of curriculum reform is curriculum implementation, and the basic way of curriculum implementation is classroom teaching, changing students' learning style in interactive reform is the core task of this teaching reform and a highlight of this curriculum reform. On the basis of clarifying the importance of teacher-student interaction, the principal should strengthen the experimental research of curriculum reform to promote curriculum reform. The headmaster should be the organizer of the new curriculum reform. As a new thing, the curriculum reform will face many unprecedented new problems, and the headmaster should do a good job in organizing the new curriculum reform. First of all, we should actively guide the understanding of the concept of quality education and implement new measures that reflect the spirit of the new curriculum. According to the reality of our school, actively organize teachers to learn new standards, understand new ideas and open new courses. Secondly, we should go deep into the front line of curriculum reform, organize and command the whole school's curriculum reform scientifically and efficiently, go to teachers and students, go to the classroom, insist on attending classes, attending classes and evaluating classes, and grasp the initiative of organizing curriculum reform. The headmaster should be the coordinator of the new curriculum reform. Curriculum reform is a job that affects all school staff, communities and parents. Principals must give full play to the overall synergy effect and ensure that all forces serve the smooth implementation of curriculum reform. First, coordinate the objectives, tasks, powers and interests within the school, and create a strong atmosphere of unity, harmony, mutual cooperation, orderly operation and full of vitality. Secondly, it is the coordination inside and outside the school. Principals should attach importance to the relationship between the school and society and parents of students, strengthen the communication and exchanges between the school and various forces outside the school, mobilize the enthusiasm of parents of students in the curriculum reform, and strive to create a good external environment for the school curriculum reform. The headmaster should be the designer and builder of modern schools. The implementation of the new curriculum requires us to re-recognize the value of the school, understand the core meaning of the school, and build the school into a modern school with improved value, shifted focus, open structure, interactive process and internalized motivation. Therefore, as a modern principal, we should arm our minds with advanced management theory, face up to the school situation, seize the opportunity, carefully draw the blueprint for school development, and become the designer and builder of modern schools. Third, the new curriculum reform requires principals to master new management strategies. Only through the creative work of teachers under the leadership of the principal can the new curriculum plan become a reality in the school. School administrators, especially principals, should thoroughly study the art of leadership and master new management strategies under the guidance of new ideas. 1, respect teachers and students, and let them learn to respect themselves. Nowadays, people-oriented management has become the consensus of the majority of principals. The so-called humanistic management is based on the growth and development of students and teachers, and is the foundation of education. People-oriented, first of all, is to respect the wishes of teachers and students, follow the law of their growth and development, and act according to law in education and teaching management. Ralph,19th century American philosopher, essayist and poet? Waldo. Emerson said: The secret of successful education lies in respecting students. The core idea of the new curriculum, all for the development of every student, is embodied in teaching: first, pay attention to every student; Second, pay attention to students' emotional life and experience; Third, pay attention to students' moral life and personality development. The new curriculum holds that students are developed and independent people. Therefore, the promotion of the new curriculum should be devoted to establishing a new ethical relationship between teachers and students that fully embodies the spirit of respect, democracy and development. 2. Discover your strengths and let teachers and students learn to discover themselves. Clifton, an American successful psychologist, believes that the key to humanistic management is to identify people's advantages and make use of them on the basis of scientific understanding of human nature, that is, to discover and affirm them. It is to take human development as the core, discover the unique value of each person, discover the bright spots and differences of each person, and then inspire and carry forward. 3. Encourage teachers and students to learn to calculate my motivation. The purpose of school management is to mobilize people's enthusiasm and creativity and promote people's development, which is inseparable from motivation. Through encouragement, under the action of some stimulus, people will always be in an excited state, and people's enthusiasm will be fully exerted. Therefore, in a sense, the process of principal's leadership behavior should be an incentive process. The implementation of the new curriculum requires school administrators to further establish the concept of encouraging teachers and students, so as to create good conditions and atmosphere for smoothly mobilizing the enthusiasm and creativity of teachers and students and ensuring their all-round and harmonious development. Specifically, efforts should be made in the following three aspects: (1) to create a democratic, relaxed and positive campus cultural atmosphere; (2) meet the reasonable needs of teachers and students, and stimulate the motivation of teachers and students to work and study; (3) In an inspiring environment, let teachers and students learn to be self-motivated. In short, under the situation of curriculum reform, teaching managers should be good at learning new teaching theories, pay attention to each teacher's professional growth and improve their own quality, strive to pave the way for the new curriculum reform, actively participate in the new curriculum reform, and make their due contributions to the smooth implementation of the new curriculum reform.
