-Excerpts from interview notes
Yang Guo No.3 Middle School, formerly known as Yang Guo Suburb Middle School, was founded in 197 1. Later, it was placed under the direct control of the county education bureau and renamed Yang Guo No.3 Middle School. 1993 became a complete middle school.
36 years of hard work, along the way, through vicissitudes and twists and turns and prosperity. By 200 1, the school was in trouble for many reasons: teachers' hearts were floating, the quality of teaching was seriously declining, the number of students was sharply reduced, the reputation of the school was declining, and its survival was facing a crisis.
Faced with difficulties and crises, the county party committee, the county government and the county education bureau are all anxious. After evaluation, the new school leadership team took office.
Wei Changpeng, an "old ox" praised by the masses, 20011was appointed to take the helm of the school.
He didn't flinch, but he did it. Over the past six years, he has been working hard with his open and selfless personality charm, scientific and innovative educational ideas to build an internal management mechanism, meticulous and advanced investment ideas to improve equipment, and full of passion and perseverance.
Of course, these are not all that a weak school that was originally hovering at the bottom has achieved today's leap-forward development. Facing the three China people, the reporters untied their hearts one by one and found the track of their rise.
The key is to establish a united and progressive leading group.
After Wei Changpeng took office, he set up the school leadership team and strengthened the team's own construction as the top priority. According to the Regulations on the Selection and Appointment of Cadres and the principle of "combining the old with the young", he reused several young, experienced and capable former team members, boldly selected and appointed a group of young teaching backbones and academic leaders as middle-level cadres, and defined their specific division of labor and responsibilities. Carry out the responsibility system of division of labor under the responsibility system of step by step and the principal, carry out democratic centralism, and pay attention to strengthening the ideological quality and style construction of leading members. At the same time, the team members are required to establish new concepts, master new trends and new information in modern education, learn new experiences and new methods in education and teaching in the new period, and take the lead in setting an example in education reform and teaching management in order to win the trust and support of teachers and students. What is particularly worth mentioning is the implementation of the principal responsibility system. The system stipulates that the members of the school leadership team are on duty in turn, eat and live in the school 24 hours a day, be responsible for handling the school affairs of the day, and urge all the work to be carried out normally. In the interview, Li Zicai, the chairman of the school trade union, told the reporter: "On the first day of taking office, President Wei clearly put forward' start from me and practice'. For six years, he has been insisting on getting to school before 6: 00 in the morning and getting off work after 10 in the evening, eating and living with teachers and students. A principal can do this, which greatly encourages all our teachers and students. " This can be seen. When people clap their hands, they admire more.
In addition, they regard serving teachers and students as an important aspect of team building. Often go deep into grade groups and classes, talk with teachers and students, understand the situation, solve the ideological, life and learning problems of teachers and students, and serve all teaching work around the school.
Fundamentally build a team of high-quality teachers
Wei Changpeng admits that high-quality teachers are the core to improve the competitiveness of schools and the inexhaustible motive force to promote the development of schools. The reason why the school is today depends on the joint efforts of all teachers.
In order to cultivate a team of high-quality teachers, the school has taken practical measures. Promote the appointment system of teachers, break all kinds of boundaries and recruit talents; In management, in accordance with the principle of "those who are capable are superior, those who are flat are inferior" and the requirements of morality, ability, diligence, performance and honesty, we will fully implement competition for posts and implement two-way selection; The implementation of the selection and examination system, strict examination and assessment, and gradually achieve the unity of posts, salaries and responsibilities; Implement the "famous teacher project" of "practicing teachers' skills, strengthening teachers' ability, cultivating teachers' morality and casting teachers' souls", boldly employ young teachers, advocate the concept of lifelong learning, create all conditions for teachers to engage in academic research, arrange teachers to study abroad, broaden their horizons, and give strong material and spiritual support, attach importance to teaching and research, and take the road of research-oriented schools.
Among the 267 teachers in this school, there are 3 graduate students, 32 senior teachers, 93 first-class teachers, 4 provincial teaching stars and 2 municipal teaching stars. This is a "five-type" teacher team with lofty realm, noble morality, superb ability, profound knowledge and elegant words and deeds. It is because of their hard work and sweat.
Cornerstone-Implementing a set of scientific management strategies
Management is also a productive force, and scientific management is the cornerstone to maintain the vitality of the school. This has formed a consensus among school leaders.
In the implementation of scientific management, we have mainly grasped three tasks. First, improve the system and standardize management. After the new team took office, according to the situation of the school, after careful investigation, a series of rules and regulations were formulated, such as the Measures for the Management of Education and Teaching Quality, the Measures for the Award of College Entrance Examination and the Measures for the Selection of Excellent Teachers. In the process of system construction, emphasize democracy; In the process of system implementation, the rigidity of implementation is emphasized. Adhere to the lasting comprehensive assessment, measure it with a ruler, ensure that all systems are in place, and make the school embark on a standardized and scientific management path. The second is to implement quantitative management and establish a brand-new evaluation mechanism. Implement the post responsibility system, full employment system and structural wage system, and promote the openness of school affairs, government affairs and finance. The third is to focus on one center and pay close attention to management implementation. That is to say, around the management of teaching quality, deepening education reform and improving teaching quality in an all-round way are the main projects and primary tasks of management. In connection with this, the headmaster and school leaders are on duty and teachers are in class, teachers prepare lessons collectively and check lesson plans, and strict monthly assessment system and college entrance examination reward system are implemented. Strict, standardized, scientific and practical institutionalized management has enabled the school to enter a benign and orderly development track.
Guarantee-Creating a Beautiful and Good Educational Environment
A good and beautiful campus environment is the inevitable requirement of modern education and the basic guarantee for doing a good job in education and teaching.
Based on this principle and the goal of building this school into a first-class prestigious school, the students of No.3 Middle School earnestly grasp the "three improvements" and strive to create a good educational environment. The first is to pay attention to the sanitary environment. Combine moral education with civilization creation activities to cultivate good behavior habits of teachers and students; Determine the person in charge of health work, delimit the health responsibility area, formulate clear inspection, assessment and appraisal methods, link health checkpoints with the selection of civilized classes and the payment of allowances to class teachers, and implement the reward and punishment mechanism. The second is to improve the public security environment. Implement a 24-hour duty system, guard the gate with double posts, implement closed management of the teaching area, hire special personnel to look after the student dormitory, link with the local police station, and improve the comprehensive management of the surrounding environment of the campus. The third is to improve the teaching environment. We reduced expenses and raised project funds from various sources. We successively invested millions of yuan to build two teaching buildings, an office building, a computer room and a large multi-function hall, installed 52 multimedia teaching equipment, equipped all classrooms with 73 cm (29 inches) color TVs and electric fans, equipped teachers' offices with desks and chairs, installed air conditioners and updated all outdated equipment. The campus has achieved greening, beautification, hardening, purification and lighting.
Nowadays, when you enter the school, you can see novel high-rise buildings and various supporting facilities everywhere; Strolling through the campus, cypress trees are shaded and green grass is everywhere, showing vigorous vitality, clean and pleasant scenery and a civilized and harmonious atmosphere for educating people. This is indeed a learning grassland.
Focus-Implementing a Grand Moral Education Project
Moral education is the focus of school work.
The school has always regarded moral education as an important aspect of school work, and made the greatest determination and efforts to grasp it, which has made the moral education work appear a gratifying scene and situation. Its main practice is the working mode of "Shuang Yi", "Double Three" and "Double Five". "Shuang Yi" refers to the establishment of a moral education integration network leading organization with the general party branch of the school as the main body, the Youth League Committee and the Political and Educational Affairs Office as the main organizations, and the members of the school leadership team, the head teacher and the political teacher as participants; First, it refers to carrying out targeted, effective and colorful moral education activities.
"Double three" means "three constructions" and "three struggles". Construction (building a moral education team to ensure the smooth development of moral education; Create a good educational environment, and strive to make moral education permeate the campus and every corner; Building a moral education base). Strive for (striving for civilized students, striving for civilized classes and striving for civilized schools).
"Double Five" means "five combinations" and "five stresses". Five combinations (combination of teaching and educating people, combination of classroom and extracurricular, combination of party group education and class education, combination of school and extracurricular, combination of school education and family education). Pay attention to (pay attention to the construction of moral norms, pay attention to daily behavior education, pay attention to education of ideals and beliefs, pay attention to education of scientific and cultural knowledge, and pay attention to education of patriotism and love for school).
The long-term development of moral education has made students' conscious learning attitude and good civilized behavior habits become a common practice, and the whole campus has shown a good situation of tension, vividness and harmony.
Direction-Pay close attention to quality education and don't relax
Today, when quality education is strongly advocated, school education still pays special attention to exam-oriented education. After Wei Changpeng took office, he unified his understanding, established a school-running concept based on developing human resources and respecting the law of social development, and gradually established a scientific concept of talent, quality and development.
As Wei Changming said: "Quality education and the pursuit of high-quality teaching are not contradictory, but complement each other."
To this end, the school actively practices the characteristic educational thought of "people-oriented, student-oriented development" and establishes the school-running concept of "all for students, all for students". In order to promote the all-round development of students, the school adjusted the class structure and reduced the class burden; Take the opportunity of implementing the new curriculum reform plan to create a new situation of inquiry teaching; Using high-tech and multimedia to promote classroom teaching reform requires quality for 45 minutes; According to the characteristics of different grades, we should find four key points: classroom art, teaching methods and learning methods, lesson preparation quality and classroom quality, and make great efforts.
At the same time, pay attention to all kinds of activity classes, actively open the second class, do a good job of transforming poor students, and let the concept that adults are more important than success run through everyone's mind.
Some people say, "Trees are poems written by the earth in the sky." Then, the quality of education and teaching is a poem written by three China people in Lao Zi's hometown. It is precisely because of the clear direction of running a school, clear thinking and effective measures that a good atmosphere of positive school spirit, strong study style and strong popularity is presented, and a win-win situation of school efficiency and quality education is realized.
The above is just our concern about the leap-forward development of the school, and its overwhelming development momentum will surely attract more attention and expectation.
Pioneering third middle school students have a new goal: "continue to be people-oriented, constantly create characteristics, strengthen internal quality construction, develop the potential of teachers and students, and become a provincial model high school as soon as possible." Wei Changpeng's face is only persistent and serious.
Let's applaud the leaping development of Yang Guo No.3 Middle School and the hard work and enterprising spirit of all the people in Yang Guo No.3 Middle School.
