Mr. Ye Shengtao wrote in the article "If I were a teacher", "The growth and progress of children is my happiness; The weakness and dullness of children are my worries. With joy, I will cherish it forever; With worry, I will try to eliminate it. "

It was a busy afternoon. Zou Wenzhen, who has just finished a teaching and research meeting, is sitting at a desk by the window. The warm sunshine shone on her. In the backlight, she looks like a silhouette, dignified and deep.

As a "colleague" of the famous educator Mr. Ye Shengtao, she said: "I have a heavy burden. Inheriting and carrying forward Mr. Ye's educational philosophy is not as simple as shouting slogans. "

Zou Wenzhen is the principal of Suzhou Yeshengtao Experimental Primary School. The predecessor of this school is Wuxian No.5 Senior Primary School, where Mr. Ye Shengtao once taught.

"Parents send their children to school. In fact, they have expectations for the school. Many parents will ask, how will the school educate my children? " Such a proposition often makes her deep in thought.

Every time I read Mr. Ye Shengtao's works and understand Mr. Ye Shengtao's educational thoughts, Zou Wenzhen feels that his soul has been purified once.

"In the conversation with my husband, I asked myself again and again, what is the purpose of education?" She looked up slightly and said, "I can finally answer calmly now." The purpose of education is to help individuals have a complete self-awareness and self-growth. "

Set sail: enter the vast world to learn an important lesson in life

Everyone's growth is a process of continuous discovery, understanding, development and self-challenge. Teachers in Xiao Ye believe that "the responsibility of educators is to help children go through this process and give correct guidance in this process" through their understanding of Mr. Ye Shengtao's educational thought.

Teacher Ye Shengtao pays attention to the cultivation of students' social practice ability. Of course, in this school named after Mr. Ye Shengtao, this "life lesson" is indispensable. How to make students integrate into society from social universities, find themselves and challenge themselves?

A piece of news I got by chance inspired the teachers. Luzhi Ancient Town Scenic Area is the moral education base of the school. Every tourist season, the tour guides in the scenic spots will be as busy as a bee. "If children are allowed to be tour guides, they can not only relieve the pressure of scenic spots, but also let children know about the cultural accumulation of their hometown through activities, stimulate their pride in loving their hometown, and get exercise and growth in social practice."

Following this train of thought, Ye Shengtao Experimental Primary School in Suzhou creatively opened the school-based education course of "Dancing Rhyme and Yang Fei" small tour guide group according to the characteristics of Luzhi Water Town in Suzhou.

After putting it into action, the school selected some students from Grade 4 and Grade 5 to form a small tour guide group, and hired excellent tour guides from Road Travel Company as off-campus counselors for training. Through systematic study, the team members finally took up their posts after a series of "tests" such as writing tour guides and on-site roadshows.

Every holiday, in Luzhi Ancient Town Scenic Area, you can see the lively and enthusiastic figures of small tour guides. They confidently and clearly introduce the allusions of various scenic spots to tourists and tell straightforward customs.

During the Luzhi Water Town Culture and Clothing Festival, the uncles and aunts of the Jiangsu Social Science Education Delegation who visited Luzhi enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the water town all the way. While listening to the vivid explanations of the little tour guides, they couldn't help but give thumbs up and applaud them without hesitation.

The team members also realized the sense of social responsibility and pride of a small water town owner in vivid and interesting social practice, which enabled the team members to experience in colorful practice, increase their knowledge, broaden their horizons and enhance their ability.

In order to further develop this team and better cultivate the echelon, with the support and help of schools and teachers, the small guide group constantly recruits outstanding students to join the team. Through mentoring, Suzhou Ye Shengtao Experimental Primary School's "Dance Rhyme Yang Fei" small tour guide group has become a beautiful scenery in Luzhi tourism brand. 20 10, the team was named "Suzhou Top Ten Sunshine Team".

Companionship: create beauty with the heart that discovers beauty.

Suzhou Yeshengtao Experimental Primary School not only pays attention to cultivating children's social practice ability, but also pays more attention to students' love of beauty.

"Mr. Wang once said that if a person loves beauty, he will love life even more." Zou Wenzhen introduced that Ye Shengtao's love for beauty is first reflected in his love for flowers and plants. From 1970 to 1982, among the more than 200 letters accumulated by Ye Shengtao and popular science writer Jia Zuzhang, almost none did not mention flowers and plants, and some are still mentioning them today. He pointed out that by planting flowers and grass, you can develop a good mood, "resist pressure" and "resist frustration" and "become attached" everywhere.

Of course, unlike ordinary people, Ye Shengtao grows flowers and grass not only for enjoyment, but also to expand his knowledge in the field of animals and plants.

Inspired by this, Suzhou Yeshengtao Experimental Primary School started the construction of the red scarf "Shengsheng Farm".

When winter goes and summer comes, we bid farewell to the splendid tofu in spring, send away the golden sunflower in summer and welcome the planting of radish. Under the leadership of the teachers of Shengsheng Agricultural College, planting scientific research activities have been carried out in a colorful way.

The students of the Sixth Squadron (1) stimulated their enthusiasm for planting, observing and writing through planting activities. Literary works such as Planting Wheat, Eating Broad Bean, Little Snail and Beautiful Campus have been selected by newspapers and periodicals. From envy to voluntary participation, more and more young pioneers are attracted to the farm to watch writing, which has become a characteristic composition resource for Chinese teaching in this school.

Interest is the best teacher and a great internal motivation to acquire knowledge. Especially when the teacher gives the initiative of planting, observation and research to the team members. They are engaged as masters, and this interest has never been higher.

The students of No.6 Squadron studied the topic "Effects of Close Planting and Sunlight on Sunflowers" and posted the research results on the BBS of the school website for discussion, which inspired more members to participate in the practical activities of raw material farms.

In the observation class of Shengsheng Farm of the National Ye Shengtao Education Thought Research Association in 2004, the members of the Sixth Squadron flew out the sparks of wisdom at their fingertips according to the natural shape of the fruit, and a series of fantasy works, such as Heading by the Sea Lion, Brother Elf Mouse, Pumpkin Ghost, and Eagle Spreading its Wings, made the participating experts amazed and affectionately called the children messengers of beauty.

Just as Mr. Ye Shengtao can "watch flowers, listen to rain, smell incense and drink wine that can't quench his thirst" in his busy life, let beautiful things bring him joy and tranquility. Teachers in Xiao Ye are well aware of the truth that "through the discovery and love of beauty, children can keep a lotus-like elegant heart in life."

Escort: family and school care together to solve the growing troubles.

But in real life, not everything is beautiful. Influenced by the diversified social culture, the existence of bad family education, the increase of academic pressure and other reasons, students with learning deviation, bad conduct, psychological barriers and internet addiction exist in various schools to some extent.

How to help children get through the growing pains? Suzhou Ye Shengtao Experimental Primary School constantly draws nutrition from Mr. Ye Shengtao's educational philosophy.

Under the guidance of deep realistic concern, Mr. Ye Shengtao advocates the close combination of teaching and educating people. He believes that education is a tool for human beings to obtain survival materials and manage their lives, and education should help students know themselves, innovate themselves and achieve themselves.

Under the guidance of Mr. Wang's idea, the school has found a moral education innovation model combining moral education tutorial system with parent school through continuous exploration.

Moral tutorial system is an innovation of moral education system under the new situation and new task. It emphasizes the idea of moral education returning to life and paying attention to students' life growth. By constructing the integrated management mechanism of school teaching and moral education, the school moral education work is closer to students' study life, and students' knowledge construction and moral growth develop simultaneously, which really improves the effectiveness of moral education.

According to the actual situation, the school creatively introduced the "party member Tutorial System" and "Retired Teacher Tutorial System". The tutorial system in party member and the tutorial system for retired teachers are quite different from the traditional tutorial system for underachievers. Tutorial system adopts two-way choice in teacher-student pairing, fully respects the wishes of teachers and students on the basis of considering their personalities, specialties and hobbies, and educates and guides students to build a perfect personality.

The school stipulates that moral education counselors should take the initiative to communicate with students at least once a week, record and analyze the contents of the communication, and make key observation records and diagnostic analysis on students' performance every week; Through psychological communication with students, help students know themselves and establish self-confidence.

The tutor communicates with the parents of the tutored students through various means, such as: home-school passepartout, telephone, field home visits, etc. In order to understand the situation of students at home and enhance the friendship between teachers and students, it is more important to master first-hand materials and improve the effectiveness of education; Carry out exchanges and consultations on various situations in the "moral tutorial system" activities. Mentors learn from each other's strong points in communication, solve personality and common problems in moral education, and escort the healthy and successful development of tutorial system activities.

In the activities of "moral tutorial system", the tutor is not a condescending "preacher", but as a friend and consultant of the students to get along with them and treat them honestly. In the aspect of home-school interaction, the tutor changed the original single way of criticism and preaching, but adopted various forms of humanistic care, which made students feel unprecedented credibility, established positive and equal interaction between teachers and students, and enhanced the feelings and friendship between teachers and students.

At the same time, the activities of moral tutorial system have greatly changed teachers' ideas, enabling teachers to treat problem students correctly, be good at tapping their bright spots, and treat students with a peaceful attitude, thus giving students an unprecedented sense of trust and accomplishment and promoting their development in all aspects.

Mr. Ye Shengtao wrote in the article "If I were a teacher", "The growth and progress of children is my happiness; The weakness and dullness of children are my worries. With joy, I will cherish it forever; With worry, I will try to eliminate it. "

Teachers in Xiao Ye, Suzhou are also taking good care of their children's growth and reaping happiness for themselves.
