Students in Ningbo's "Shadow Teacher" program spend the traditional China New Year with foreign students in Australia.
"If you don't advance, you will fall back" to break the bottleneck of teacher team construction
Jiaxing, as a national pilot area, took the lead in launching the pilot project of the regular registration system for primary and secondary school teachers' qualifications in China on 201kloc-0. 20 14 The pilot area of our province was expanded to Shaoxing, Huzhou, Zhoushan and its counties (cities, districts) and Dongtou County of Wenzhou. In the pilot cities and counties, nearly 5% teachers failed to meet the standard of formal registration during the pilot period. Among them, the main problems are that the teacher qualification certificate has just been obtained before registration, the certificate is low and the employment is high, there is no teacher qualification certificate before registration (most of them are teachers in professional vocational schools) and the training hours are not enough.
"The registration system has a good incentive effect and gives local principals an additional starting point for managing teachers." Shen Feng, deputy director of Education, Culture and Sports Bureau of Jiaxing Economic and Technological Development Zone, participated in the pilot work. He said that for a long time, because of the "iron rice bowl" system of teachers, even if there are unqualified people, the school is "helpless." After the implementation of the registration system, the principal can suspend the registration of teachers who cannot meet the teaching requirements of their teaching posts. "The greater significance of the teacher registration system lies in strengthening the management of teachers after they enter the job, urging teachers to strengthen their study after obtaining the qualification of teachers, improve their educational and teaching ability and maintain good professional ethics."
"The key to education lies in teachers. Under the new situation of deepening education reform, it is imperative to implement a stricter mechanism for teachers to advance and retreat. " Mo, a Chinese teaching researcher in the teaching and research section of Shaoxing Education Bureau and a provincial-level special-grade teacher, thinks so.
Zhoushan students listened carefully to the instructor's lecture.
Strengthen the construction of teachers' morality and style, and say "no" to professional slack.
"This year, for the first time in our province, teachers' professional ethics was included in the training plan, and it occupied as many as 30 compulsory courses, showing the importance attached to the construction of teachers' ethics." In recent years, Huzhou Education Rehabilitation School and Huzhou Special Education Experimental School have successively become Huzhou teachers' morality education and training bases. Xin, director of Huzhou Teachers' Continuing Education Center, said that all teachers need to take turns to participate in the practical training of "love experience" in special schools, clean the campus with special students, and have a class under the guidance of teachers in special schools. "We hope that in this way, teachers can feel the love and patience that teachers need more deeply."
In Ningbo, every teacher needs to sign a letter of commitment with the school. This commitment letter, dubbed by local teachers as "Twenty-one Teachers' Ethics", refines the standards of teachers' ethics from several aspects, such as teachers' work discipline, work attitude, dedication, teaching integrity and getting along with students. Yan Feng, president of Ningbo Rongan Experimental Middle School, told the reporter: "The monthly meeting of the school will emphasize the bottom line that teachers can't cross. Every semester, the school will organize students to conduct two teacher's ethics assessments. "
"This year, some districts and counties in Ningbo found that some teachers were slack in their work, and some teachers paid for remedial classes. The education department attaches great importance to these teachers' ethics training and lectures. During this period, teachers can't carry out front-line teaching in principle. Kelly, deputy director of the Personnel Department of Ningbo Education Bureau, said that for some teachers with serious problems, if the conversation fails, the school will persuade them to leave.
New teachers in schools directly under Ningbo take the oath of office.
Choosing "training" independently is king.
The training hours of 72 hours per year and 360 hours in five years stipulated in the Measures have attracted a lot of attention.
In the interview, the reporter found that many teachers were worried about the training: "In the past, there were sporadic white hairs and early twenties, and the' one pot stew' training could not promote the professional growth of teachers at all levels."
"As long as the training content is appropriate, the quality and efficiency of training can be guaranteed, and teachers are willing to continue education." Hu, a teacher of Xiaoshu Primary School in Huzhou City, hopes that in the next continuing education and training, there will be more courses to promote teachers' professional development and meet teachers' adaptive needs.
In order to ensure the quality of training, the Provincial Department of Education issued "Several Provisions on Professional Development Training of Primary and Secondary School Teachers in Zhejiang Province (Trial)" and "Administrative Measures for Credit System of Professional Development Training of Primary and Secondary School Teachers in Zhejiang Province", in which the requirements of classification and accurate training greatly meet the requirements of teachers' professional growth.
"Under the guidance of the two documents, the teacher training in Huzhou has gradually formed a training system with different classes, different levels, classification and full coverage, and has been continuously improved. At the same time, the proportion of teachers' independent training has been continuously improved, and the course selection has been continuously enriched. "Qian Yue introduced that before the teacher training course is opened, Huzhou Teachers' Continuing Education Center will conduct a thorough survey of the city's teachers in advance, make full use of high-quality training resources such as universities and teacher training institutions inside and outside the province, and build an all-round hierarchical and accurate training network.
"In recent years, Ningbo has always paid attention to the construction of teachers' echelon, which coincides with the hierarchical classification and precise training of teachers." Kelly introduced that the training programs for subject educators are mainly aimed at famous teachers and special-grade teachers. The "Evergreen Tree" program mainly trains famous teachers with backbone teachers as the main target, and promotes the "Excellence Plan" to train young backbone teachers. There are also rural teachers' professional development support programs and special training programs specifically for secondary vocational schools and special education backbone teachers. "Our training programs have been strung into a line and a relatively complete radiation network has been built. What the teacher has to do is to exercise the opportunity to choose' training' independently. "
In order to ensure the quality of training, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Ningbo, Zhoushan and Shaoxing have also strengthened the management of training teams in recent years. Many regions organize teachers' training and on-the-job training trainers to carry out special training such as wisdom training, training design and research, and inspection of excellent domestic training institutions, and pay attention to the dual improvement of trainers' theoretical literacy and practical ability.
Teachers and schools should face up to the contradiction between work and study
The contradiction between work and study is a difficult problem faced by many ordinary primary and secondary school managers in the face of teacher training.
A compulsory course with 90 credits requires teachers to concentrate on training. In order not to affect the normal teaching of teachers, Huzhou Teachers' Continuing Training Center obtains the specific situation of each teacher through in-depth research and plans an accurate training schedule as a whole. Xin said: "We arrange time for each teacher to ensure that the training can be carried out in an orderly manner to the greatest extent."
"When teachers need to go out for training for a long time, they need the wisdom of managers." Kelly said, for example, the teacher training in Ningbo includes 1 ~ 3 months of overseas cooperative training plan, so schools and teachers should arrange the original teaching work. Yan Feng said that Rong 'an Middle School also encountered similar problems. The school recruited an English teacher in advance to participate in overseas training, so that the teacher can study without worries. "Of course, this is the improvisation of private middle schools. When many teachers in public schools get this opportunity, other teachers in the group will take the initiative to undertake the teaching tasks that need to train teachers. "
Zhang Saiyuan, the teacher training center of Ningbo Institute of Education, said that in the face of the contradiction between work and study, in addition to overall planning, Ningbo also properly arranged theoretical and practical training by integrating training programs on working days and rest days. At the same time, in recent years, "internet plus" training method has been more and more widely used. Clever application of mobile terminals for distance training can better solve the contradiction between work and study. Zhang Saiyuan also mentioned that although the education authorities have taken various measures to solve the contradiction between work and study, the premise is that schools and teachers can face this problem directly. "From the feedback of teacher training in recent years, the autonomy of teachers' professional development has improved, and the awareness of lifelong learning has become stronger and stronger. From the perspective of training institutions, local training pays more and more attention to refinement, specialization and brand building. With the popularization of the regular registration system for teachers' qualifications and the introduction of corresponding supporting documents, there are more and more courses for teachers to choose from in continuing education and training, and teachers' subjectivity is guaranteed. Teachers should seize this opportunity, vigorously develop their professional quality and form their own brand, which is the best choice. "
