The highlight of characteristic schools lies in the word "special", which means different, meaning that people have no me, people have my advantages, and people are better than me. Moreover, characteristic schools have their own ideas, ideas and unique measures in running schools, forming traditional schools. It has a high-quality, stable and unique school-running style and remarkable educational benefits. It is different from ordinary schools in terms of training objectives, curriculum development, teacher construction, school management, campus culture and teaching facilities.
Second, how to determine the goals of characteristic schools
To create a characteristic school, we must proceed from the reality of the school and reasonably locate the characteristic goal of the school. First, seriously study the opportunities and challenges provided by social development, study the resources, conditions and capabilities of school development, and unify the external motivation-environment and internal motivation-the advantages of the school itself. Second, we should embody the principal's educational ideas and goals. The third is to explore the historical and cultural accumulation of the school and find a breakthrough. That is to say, according to the strengths or advantages of the school, select several characteristic projects to lay the foundation for the establishment of characteristic schools. Through the gradual implementation, popularization and all-round infiltration of characteristic projects, a unique cultural model of the school is formed, and a characteristic school is formed on the basis of continuous consolidation, enrichment and improvement. Fourth, the determination of the goal should be unique, holistic, stable and scientific, and it should affect the whole body, not a certain aspect of the school, and closely link the characteristic school with the school characteristics. The development of school characteristics into characteristic schools is a process from part to whole, from shallow to detailed. Judging from the actual situation of our school, the school has a solid foundation in infrastructure construction, cultural construction and resource development. Therefore, according to our school philosophy of "standardizing management, developing connotation and creating characteristics", our characteristic goal is to create a "scholarly campus". Because the core of "scholarly campus" is quality education, which is reflected in school management, culture, civilization and other aspects, involving the study, life and campus cultural atmosphere of teachers and students, we have established five characteristic projects and built a characteristic school based on these five characteristic projects. These five characteristic projects are: expanding small classes, optimizing middle classes, and opening large classes-aimed at accumulating the cultural heritage of teachers and students and campus culture; "Standardizing school etiquette and being civilized students"-aiming at forming a civilized and harmonious campus environment; "Learn to sing 100 campus songs and build a class choir and a school choir"-aimed at cultivating children's emotions, enriching campus life and being full of scholarly atmosphere; "School-based curriculum development"-aims to accumulate culture and expand students' growth space; "Campus Culture Construction"-aims at building a healthy and civilized campus culture and creating an elegant, harmonious and rich humanistic environment. Fifth, we should avoid narrowly understanding that characteristic schools are "busy" with some cultural and sports activities or social practice activities, that is, cultivating special students and forming characteristics in a certain project and field, while ignoring the overall development of the school.
Thirdly, the ways and methods of establishing characteristic schools.
Establishing characteristic schools is a huge and arduous systematic project. In addition to the principal's idea of running a characteristic school and the quality of teachers, the school should also establish a set of guarantee mechanism for running a characteristic school in standardized management. Schools should first form a well-organized, smooth up and down, harmonious environment and standardized management network. Secondly, it is necessary to form an adjustment system with the restriction of running schools with characteristics, so as to ensure that the whole creation process develops along the healthy track of "superior projects-school characteristics-characteristic schools-brand schools". To this end, the following strategies can be adopted in the process of creating characteristic schools:
1. Cohesion concept, integrated design
To build a characteristic school, it is necessary to condense advanced educational ideas, not only to absorb the essence of ideas within the school, but also to consider the guiding ideology of the higher education administrative department and the suggestions of high-level theoretical experts. The process of condensing and refining ideas is a step-by-step process. The school-running philosophy of Struggle Primary School is "people-oriented, learning-oriented, and laying a foundation for students' sustainable development". The characteristic goal of our "scholarly campus" is to make an overall plan around the sustainable development of students. In addition, the establishment of characteristic schools can not only stay in the head and mouth of the principal, but also be transformed into the consensus of all teachers and students and put into concrete practice. To this end, we put forward the overall planning scheme of "creating a scholarly campus" in Struggle Primary School, and have specific measures for the implementation of each characteristic project in the scheme, which is integrated with the overall work of the school.
2. Concentrate advantages and expand as a whole
Creating characteristic projects is the beginning of creating school characteristics. To this end, around the creation of "scholarly campus", we have opened up five characteristic projects, and made some achievements in reading between teachers and students, cultivating students' ability, cultivating students' behavior habits, building campus culture, and fine management of schools. The next step will be to promote it at different levels and gradually expand it. Other work will be driven by characteristic projects, and other work will promote the optimization of characteristics, so that local characteristics will develop into the overall characteristics and style of the school.
3. Pioneering and innovating to create a harmonious team with characteristics.
First of all, the principal should have a sense of characteristics and pioneering spirit. It takes a long process from the establishment of characteristic projects to the establishment of school characteristics, and then to the final formation of characteristic schools, which requires continuous refining, inheritance and innovation. Secondly, we should cultivate a distinctive team of teachers. The educational goal of a school is achieved through the majority of teachers. The characteristics of a school often require the accumulation and sublimation of teachers' teaching experience. Teachers are the real wealth to establish characteristic schools. We should pay attention to the improvement of teachers' professional living conditions and quality of life, and let teachers experience the dignity and happiness of teachers' profession through educational practice reform. In addition to the individual assessment of teachers, we attach more importance to team spirit, and through collective unity and struggle, we can unite a spiritual force of the school. The third is to cultivate students with characteristics. The starting point and destination of school-running characteristics is to cultivate students with characteristics. Characteristic schools will eventually promote the development of students' comprehensive quality, and it is an important task to cultivate and develop students' specialties.
4. Continuous investment and radiation creation
Establishing characteristic schools requires not only material input, but also spiritual input. School leaders should implement democratic management, let all teachers participate in the construction of characteristic schools, pay attention to life consciousness and humanistic care, and radiate superior projects to all aspects of school work. This is a long-term process of progress, accumulation and publicity.
5. Create characteristic teaching and build a harmonious education and teaching system.
First of all, it is necessary to establish a curriculum system suitable for the characteristics of new ideas and new goals of the school, and build a curriculum model in which extracurricular, subject courses and activity courses, explicit courses and implicit courses are parallel. Secondly, according to the actual situation of the school, carry out the construction of subject characteristics. In fact, a distinctive student can arouse a new curriculum, and the establishment of school characteristics needs curriculum construction and guidance. Here, cultivating and utilizing talents is the key to creating characteristic schools.
6. Form characteristic management mechanism, evaluation mechanism and distribution mechanism.
At present, school management is gradually developing from institutionalized management to humanized and refined management. Our evaluation should focus on quality objectives, more reflect self-management and people-oriented management, and reflect team spirit. It is particularly important to establish, coordinate and promote scientific management mechanism, evaluation mechanism and distribution mechanism to ensure the development of school characteristics.
In short, in order to create a characteristic school, we must establish a correct concept of characteristics, understand the scientific connotation of characteristic schools, adhere to the road of refined management, and improve the taste and quality of schools in the process of creating characteristic schools.
