The core idea of the new curriculum is to pay attention to people and the development of every student, which is the idea that teachers learn the most under the background of the current new curriculum reform; Education serving students has become the slogan of every school; The task of teachers is to serve the growth of students, which has basically become the consensus of the education sector. But at the same time, "I won't be a teacher!" It has also become a common confusion for many teachers. Yes, a high proportion of students are tired of learning, the Ma Jiajue incident, the decline of teenagers' morality, the phenomenon of "high marks and low energy", the requirements of quality education, the inadaptability of examination baton ... People's many responsibilities for education and increasing expectations and requirements for teachers' roles really confuse us: "How to be a teacher in the new era?" Every time I see parents and students criticize teachers for suppressing students' personality and even hurting students, I feel confused and confused when I accuse and experience teachers' grievances under the contradictory requirements of parents' taking exams and students' quality. The question of "how to be a good teacher" haunts me day and night.

According to the new curriculum reform and the requirements of the times, combined with my own work experience and observation and thinking on the current basic education, the author believes that primary and secondary school teachers in the new period should do the following.

First of all, abandon the utilitarian heart and find the "real purpose" of education.

Any primary and secondary school should have a good position in the eyes of society and parents, and teaching quality is the only criterion for evaluation. As far as the current situation is concerned, the most direct standard is the scores of various unified examinations. As a result, the social evaluation standard of a "good teacher" is to look at the students' mastery of knowledge, and parents also look at how much homework the teacher usually arranges and whether he grasps the study very tightly ... This is why private schools and high-fee schools "grasp the teaching quality" (in fact, it only refers to knowledge learning). Because only when students do well in the exam will parents choose this school and the school will retain students. Moreover, families and schools have such a "far-sighted" reason: if primary schools relax their study, how can students face the senior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination? If you can't get into a good school, students will lose the opportunity to receive a good education; Even if you step into the society in the future, you still have to take various exams to win the competition! At present, the utilitarian color of teaching evaluation is also very strong: all kinds of inspection and evaluation, open competition classes, educational and scientific research topics, various activities ... under the strong utilitarian heart, the "moisture" is amazing; Many teachers are also studying the theory of new curriculum reform, and at the same time, they still aim at exams. They have a large amount of homework, occupy classes, have high demands on students, and their methods are simple and rude ... They are implementing "abusive" education with a strong utilitarian heart. As the saying goes, it takes ten years to plant trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Education is a long-term and effective project. How can it be reduced to evaluating the outstanding effect of education in the short term by scores or other simple methods?

Faced with so many impetuous thoughts and practices in current society, every educator should ponder deeply: what is the purpose of our education? What kind of talents should education cultivate? What is the meaning of learning? What should we teach students first? -Einstein once said: "When young people leave school, they should be regarded as a harmonious person, not an expert ... The development of their general ability of independent thinking and independent judgment should always be in the first place, and the acquisition of professional knowledge should not be given priority." Fei Xiaotong, a famous scholar, recalled when talking about the regret of moral education: "Mr. Pan Guangdan once clearly pointed out that education must be aimed at everyone, the greatest purpose of education is to promote the development of personality, and the ultimate goal of education is to let the educated improve themselves, push themselves into a perfect world and become perfect people." When talking about people's quality, Yu believes that cultural knowledge is only a small part of humanistic quality. To be called a complete person, he must have the ability of overall judgment, perceptual perception and falsification, and a kind heart. From these discussions, we can feel the core goal of cultivating talents. -Ye Shengtao once said: Education is to cultivate habits. So, what are the core habits of cultivating children? The author believes that it should be the interest in learning and the spirit of studying, and it is also the minimum criterion for being a man. As a teacher, we need to have the attitude of advocating science and the spirit of pursuing ideals. Under the impetuous social environment and the background of the new curriculum reform, only by deeply understanding the real purpose of education and internalizing it as the guiding ideology of our own work can we follow the law of students' growth, fade out of "utilitarian heart", be mercenary and not follow the trend, and truly serve the growth of students.

Secondly, get out of the misunderstanding and find the "real position" of teachers.

Today, although we talk about humanistic care and the democratic and equal relationship between teachers and students ... However, due to the influence of thousands of years of teacher's dignity, every teacher's educational concept, educational theory and educational method are deeply branded with the education he received as a student. In addition, the empirical thinking formed in his past work practice interferes with and distorts new ideas from time to time, so he often unconsciously wears new shoes and goes the old way in education, and often gives himself a wrong position.

First, sanctification.

Teachers subconsciously cling to the position of absolute authority in front of students and parents, and can't tolerate students and parents saying "no", otherwise, they will be angry or "give little shoes to wear". This phenomenon is still widespread today. However, we should realize that only by encouraging students and parents to express their opinions and being kind to "talk back", "criticize" and "refute" can we promote the communication between teachers and students. This is not only a matter of respect, but also a big problem to promote a virtuous circle of communication between teachers and students. A great man once said, "Argument is a shortcut between two minds." Allowing arguments on equal status, not only education, work and interpersonal communication, but also taking this shortcut.

Second, paternalism. The traditional concept of "being a teacher for a day and being a father for life" is alienated in the minds of many teachers: I am your teacher, just like your parents, and everything I do is for your own good, so you must listen to me. In this way, no matter what your starting point is, what your ways and means are, whether students are willing to accept or bear, and whether they can really achieve the purpose of being good to students, you will certainly be able to do what you say. This self-righteous paternalistic autocratic style not only makes students grow up painfully, but also seriously damages the feelings of teachers and students, often doing bad things with good intentions and even causing serious consequences. When teachers complain for themselves, they never think that this autocratic style and rigid education methods will destroy children's personality and stifle their nature.

Third, the craftsman style. Teachers are a profession, but education should be a career, which needs ideas, pursuits, science and ideals. But some teachers just regard it as a job, and I will do whatever my superiors say. I'm too busy following the trend to cope with all kinds of inspections and appraisals. I do my own work year after year, but I seldom study and reflect, and I have no own thoughts and personality.

So, what is the "true orientation" of teachers in the new era?

The author believes that a teacher should be a "humane" person first. A parent of a student who was admitted to the Chinese University of Science and Technology in the first place said: "Spring is the time for flowers to bloom, and autumn is the season for harvest. It is necessary to let nature take its course in cultivating children; Each kind of sapling has its own different growth conditions, needs different cultivation methods, and should teach students in accordance with their aptitude ... ""Humanized "teachers should follow the law of students' growth in this way, so that education can truly become the course of students' life growth: they can fully pay attention to the differences of students, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, pay attention to educating people and pay attention to their sustainable development; Observe and experience the fun in the process of education, dilute the results, abandon the idea of quick success and instant benefit, share every progress of students and develop together with students; Appreciate each student's advantages and personality with enough patience, listen to each student's voice patiently, allow students to express their opinions and guide them skillfully; We can respect students as independent individuals, even if they make mistakes, we can use punishment carefully on the basis of awakening students' consciousness and fully respect students' dignity and personality; Be able to exercise students freely, push students to the stage, hide behind the scenes, strive to build the best stage for students' growth, and make great efforts to improve teaching methods, which can not only teach people to fish, but also teach people to fish ... In short, please believe what monash Willie said: Only by treating yourself as a child can you help children become adults; Only regard the child's life as a reproduction of his childhood life; Only in this way can we improve ourselves day by day; Finally, only by caring for children's lives wholeheartedly can we become a humane teacher.

At the same time, a teacher should be a person with "personality".

Regarding the influence of teachers' "personality" on students, there has been a discussion since ancient times, which holds that example is more important than words and deeds: "If you are upright, do it without orders; He is not quite right, although he can't do it. " Under the background of the new curriculum reform, the new relationship between teachers and students makes the influence of teachers' personality more important. So, what can teachers do to have personality charm in the new period?

First, be a "real person". Although the pressure of work and life makes the life track of many teachers almost a two-point line between school and family, but the road passes by in a hurry, don't you have the mind to take care of the people and things around you? Busy at school, are you too busy to really care about students and colleagues? When you go home at night to do housework, take care of the children and the rest of the day's work, can't you care about your neighbors ... are you gradually ignoring everything else in your life during these busyness? For example, a teacher asked his students to tell a story that "giving" is more enjoyable than "taking". When the students asked him to tell it, he was shocked after searching for it, because he could not find such a story! Teachers should cultivate living people, people in a society. Then, a teacher should first be a "real person" with flesh and blood, instead of losing his true self and becoming a working robot! Otherwise, even if such "robots" teach students more knowledge and skills, their creativity will gradually dry up and become "intelligent robots"

Second, be a smart person. Professor Ye Lan said, "If a teacher lacks wisdom, he lacks dignity." Where does wisdom come from? -In terms of wide reading, teachers should cover a wide range, covering all corners of the country, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, up and down for 5,000 years and 80,000 miles vertically and horizontally; From the full love of work, diligent thinking, good at learning, in the usual dribs and drabs of continuous accumulation. In this way, it is possible for a teacher to talk eloquently, skillfully, learn from others' strengths, be interesting and have an extraordinary talk in class. Only in this way can students be deeply attracted and teachers be deeply loved by students and grow constantly.

Third, be a reflector. Education is an undertaking that is constantly doing and innovating. There is no end to education, and teachers' career is also a journey full of novelty and innovation. Reflection will make the life of teachers and students colorful, and reflection will turn our education into a cadence symphony. A reflective person will always have the kinetic energy to move forward; A reflective nation will always have inexhaustible power; Our education also needs brave reflection to constantly surpass and surpass. A teacher who is good at continuous reflection can constantly improve his work and teach science, which is highly praised by students.

In the final analysis, to be a teacher in the new era, we must actively update our knowledge, concepts and abilities, and work creatively according to the growth law of students. Let's love education, love students, make education suitable for students' development, and strive to create the necessary conditions for students' development, so that students and teachers can grow up together happily.

The core idea of the new curriculum is to pay attention to people and the development of every student, which is the idea that teachers learn the most under the background of the current new curriculum reform; Education serving students has become the slogan of every school; The task of teachers is to serve the growth of students, which has basically become the consensus of the education sector.

People's many responsibilities for education and increasing expectations and requirements for teachers' roles really confuse us: "How to be a teacher in the new era?" Every time I see parents and students criticize teachers for suppressing students' personality and even hurting students, they accuse and experience teachers' grievances personally, and they are confused and confused under the contradictory requirements of parents' taking exams and students' quality. The problem of "how to be a good teacher" bothers me day and night.
