Under the great attention of the district committee and government, and with the cooperation of education, health, streets and other departments, Shinan District has established a community preschool education network, namely:
Leading Group for Community Preschool Education: It is composed of the heads of district governments, women's federations, education and sports bureaus, sub-district offices and other units, and is responsible for the overall planning, organization and coordination of community preschool education.
Community Education Guidance Center: The Education and Sports Bureau has established Shinan Community Education Guidance Center, which is staffed with full-time community early education staff and is responsible for coordinating four types of early education institutions in the whole region: Shinan Community Early Education Guidance Center, Community Infant Health Care Center, Eugenics Guidance Center and Community Early Education Resource Center.
Expert guidance group for community early education: an expert guidance group composed of early childhood experts, early education experts and special education experts, responsible for training and technical consultation.
The formation of community early education network has created conditions for pregnant health care, prenatal and postnatal care and infant rearing of community residents, and provided organizational guarantee for community early education.
(B) to strengthen team building, to provide human security for early community education.
In order to ensure the scientific, standardized and sustainable development of community early education, Shinan District has set up five community early education teams combining full-time and part-time jobs. First, the community education assistant team. The Bureau of Education and Sports has sent a group of teachers who know their business and love their children to the community as community education assistants to assist neighborhood offices and community kindergartens in all their work. The second is the team of early education counselors, recommended by kindergartens. After passing the theoretical examination and business defense, you can come to the door with the certificate. Third, the team of early education experts specially invited experts in early childhood, preschool education, special education and nutrition. , regularly participate in community activities to solve the problem of early education; Fourth, a community education volunteer team composed of government officials and teachers under the age of 45 in the whole region, volunteering 16 hours a year; The fifth is the volunteer team for early education, which consists of doctors, PLA, firefighters, marine scientists, the old Red Army and folk artists. Often go deep into kindergartens, communities and among children to enrich their experiences. These five teams have promoted the in-depth development of community early education and formed a gratifying situation in which everyone participates in community early education.
(3) Pay attention to the effectiveness of training and provide quality assurance for early community education.
The quality of early community education is related to the overall development level of preschool education in our district. Building an early education team with exquisite professional skills and excellent teachers' morality is an important prerequisite and guarantee to promote the development of preschool education. To this end, we have stepped up the training and improved the effectiveness of the training. First, we have compiled the Guide to Infant Education for Children Aged 0-3, and trained kindergarten teachers, community education assistants and caregivers (parents, grandparents and nannies) for children aged 0-3 to varying degrees.
(D) Increase funding to provide material guarantee for early community education.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of pre-school education in the community, our bureau invested one million yuan for the improvement of early education facilities, and purchased sensory instruments, Mongolian teaching AIDS and other teaching toys suitable for infants aged 0-3. In addition, in the fitness path of the community, large outdoor sports equipment suitable for infants under 6 years old is equipped. The above measures have optimized children's living and playing conditions, and provided important material guarantee for developing community early education activities.
Second, pay attention to practice, explore the early community education model and expand the social function of preschool institutions.
In order to carry out community early education in a multi-angle, focused, solid and in-depth manner and meet the different needs of residents, we have continuously explored and formed a variety of community preschool education operation modes:
(A) the kindergarten as the main activity mode. In other words, as the organizer of preschool education in this community, kindergartens should actively face the community and organize various forms of early education service activities according to their own development reality. More than 40 kindergartens in the whole district were carried out separately, and the early education activities in the whole district showed a continuous state. Activities such as "Community Tutoring Salon", "Parents' Parenting Discrimination Meeting" and "Community Health Festival" organized by kindergartens according to their own characteristics reflect the initiative and creativity of kindergartens and promote the construction of community culture.
(2) The linkage mode centered on the Education and Sports Bureau. That is to say, taking the Education and Sports Bureau as the main body, coordinating street offices and health departments, and carrying out large-scale community early education in accordance with the unified theme.
(3) A comprehensive model with Shinan Community Education Center as the main body. That is, taking the community education center as the main body, we will guide the early education institutions within our jurisdiction to carry out various educational activities, such as coordinating the kindergartens and education departments to provide family guidance for infants with special needs, guiding qualified kindergartens to open parent-child parks, organizing the education and medical departments to jointly carry out "public welfare classes for early education", and organizing offices and neighborhood committees to carry out early education publicity activities.
Third, strengthen research, promote the balanced development of community preschool education, and ensure educational equity.
The fundamental purpose of strengthening community preschool education research is to "expand the utilization of high-quality preschool education resources, so that every child in Shinan enjoys equal rights and opportunities to receive education, further improve the parenting level of caregivers, and promote the harmonious development of every child." To this end, we have made a useful attempt to promote the balanced development of early community education and child care institutions.
(1) Take measures to strengthen the weak and strive to achieve relative fairness in education.
As far as the preschool education in Shinan District is concerned, the weak links exist in two aspects: one is the quality of education in individual care, and the other is the quality of education in vulnerable groups. In order to solve these two problems, two tasks have been performed:
1, strengthen personal care management. There are 26 individual family nurseries in our district, and there are about 2-3 family nurseries in each street. Individual care is far from the requirements of educational modernization in our region in terms of living and playing conditions, teacher level, health care and so on. To this end, we have formulated the "Regulations on the Management of Individual Child Care Institutions in Shinan District", which not only strictly controls the examination and approval, but also strengthens the management supervision, and promotes the rapid promotion of child care institutions with poor conditions and low education level through training, assessment and star rating. Through the "Outline", "Guide to Infant Education in Shinan District", the creation of infant environment, the organization of infant play activities and other training, the training and supervision of kitchen management and financial management, and the strengthening of the garden in the community, the quality of individual nursery education in our district has been continuously improved, and the difference in running the garden has gradually narrowed.
2. Make every effort to build the "Sunshine Enlightenment" brand. Our bureau started the "Sunshine Enlightenment" project and established the "Shinan District Infant Health Education Center" to allow children with special physical and psychological needs to receive scientific training and education. According to the actual situation of special children, the health education center sets up suitable courses and invites well-known health education experts in this city to guide teachers to train regularly. In addition, we actively advocate kindergartens to implement the concept of "inclusive education". At present, there are more than 30 children with special needs such as mentally retarded children, autistic children and physically disabled children in ordinary kindergartens. At the same time, more than 400 teachers have established hand-in-hand relationships with poor, divorced and mentally retarded children. Kindergartens have reduced or exempted child care fees for poor families as appropriate, providing opportunities for each child to learn and develop, which has been well received by parents and society.
(2) tap the potential, integrate resources and share a win-win situation.
Shinan District is rich in community education resources. Integrating these resources and realizing "socialization of education and social education" is an inevitable requirement for building a harmonious society.
First, expand the educational service function of kindergartens. As the resource center of community early education, kindergarten itself is a rich resource of community early education activities. Giving full play to the radiation function of kindergartens is an effective way to realize the sharing of high-quality early education resources. Kindergartens strengthen communication with community residents, help parents understand the significance of parenting education, master scientific parenting methods, provide residents with valuable early reading materials, guide parents to master parenting methods, and regularly open to infants scattered in the community, distribute publicity materials, hold lectures, establish their own websites, set up "community toy library", "community education public welfare classroom", parent-child paradise and other ways to make all kinds of resources mutually beneficial in interaction and achieve a win-win situation in services.
Second, expand the ranks of educational volunteers. Attract people of insight, lofty ideals and sentient beings in the field of early education to join the volunteer team, establish an early education talent resource pool, and realize the sharing and complementarity of early education talent resources. Third, expand the curriculum resources of kindergartens. Incorporate community resources into kindergarten curriculum construction, and often lead children to visit troops, schools, museums and other units to guide children to observe and love everything around them. In this interactive process, let all walks of life in the community know about kindergartens and receive early childhood education, and a harmonious community education atmosphere is unconsciously established, so that early childhood education can realize the true meaning of "a big society is a university hall".
Mobilizing and relying on community forces, integrating various community resources and carrying out community early education activities in a planned and diversified way are effective ways to promote the harmonious development of preschool education and build a harmonious society. In the practice of recent years, the practice of developing early education based on community. It has brought new changes to the early education in our region:
First, the concept of big education is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. A relatively perfect community early education system provides parents and infants with opportunities to receive education. Convenient and high-quality early education services enable residents to fully realize that early education is an indispensable part of lifelong education, actively participate in community early education activities, be willing to become community early education volunteers, and be keen on promoting early education activities.
Second, the concept of parenting of community residents is changing. Continuous parenting counseling activities and parent-child activities attract residents' active participation. The concept of scientific parenting and regular education has been accepted by the majority of residents, and the concept of "letting nature take its course" has been abandoned by residents.
Third, the functional concept of kindergartens is changing. The close relationship between kindergarten and community not only improves the influence of kindergarten on community, but also strengthens the positive influence of community on kindergarten education, thus achieving a win-win situation. All the resources of kindergartens are open to the community, which extends the functions of kindergartens and makes kindergartens have multi-level educational functions, radiation-driven functions and service functions.
We believe that relying on the community to build high-quality preschool education and integrating preschool education into the community will enrich the connotation of education in our region and make its development more harmonious. At the same time, it is conducive to improving the cultural quality of residents, further promoting the construction of spiritual civilization in the community and building a harmonious society. Relying on society to create high-quality preschool education is an inevitable law to promote the overall development of preschool education, and it is also a new driving force to build a harmonious society. Nowadays, early community education has become a beautiful landscape in our district. In 2004, the national preschool education experts led by the Ministry of Education came to our district to inspect the community early education work, and spoke highly of the community early education work in our district after visiting households, observing activities and consulting materials.
Looking back, we worked hard and didn't shake our hearts; Looking forward to the future, we are brave in innovation and ambitious. We will, as always, make efforts to further deepen the research on community preschool education, promote the development of preschool education and build a harmonious society in an all-round way.
