All kinds of educational changes in Cangzhou, an ancient city in Hebei Province, originated from the "2060" standardized school innovation project actively promoted by the local education department in recent years, the exchange of principals and teachers between urban and rural areas, the development of school characteristics and other measures, and vigorously carried out the connotation construction of primary and secondary schools.
Recently, our reporter went deep into schools in Cangzhou to explore the changes brought by the reform to the local educational ecology.
Ten indicators, school management is the starting point.
Cangzhou No.15 Middle School, formerly known as Cangzhou Dahua Children's School, is located between the urban-rural fringe and the eight high-quality schools. It used to be a weak school with "difficult enrollment and poor student performance". After several years of development, the school now has a high enrollment rate and a high social evaluation. "The' 2060' project saved the school." Principal Han Guangming said with emotion.
Since 20 13, the "2060" standardized school innovation project for primary and secondary schools has been implemented, that is, 60 standardized primary and secondary schools in 20 counties (cities, districts) have been selected as project schools, and a number of standardized and innovative schools with distinctive characteristics have been cultivated in three years to promote the balanced and scientific development of compulsory education in the city.
Among them, the "ten development indicators" include: taking moral education as the fundamental task of the school and returning moral education to life practice; Standardize school-running behavior according to law and reduce students' academic burden; Implement the national curriculum plan and offer all courses; Adhere to "health first" and improve students' health index; Building a scholarly campus and making reading a habit; Accelerate the reform of classroom teaching mode and change students' learning methods and living conditions; Promote the reform of students' homework and improve students' quality of life; Promote comprehensive practical courses and realize practical education; Strengthen the construction of teachers, improve teachers' quality and ability; Improve the modern school management system and run a school that the people are satisfied with.
After Cangzhou No.15 Middle School became a project school, it promoted the teaching reform of "Efficient Classroom" according to the construction of "Ten Development Indicators". In just one year, the average score of its students has jumped to the fourth place in the city.
There are many schools like Cangzhou No.15 Middle School that have benefited from the "2060" project. Now the number of project schools has expanded to 88, and the quality of education and teaching has improved significantly.
A good principal is a good school. In recent years, Cangzhou has made great efforts in the exchange of principals. In 2008, Chen Liancai was transferred from the leadership position of the experimental primary school of the city's high-quality school to the principal of the school. At the beginning of his tenure, he applied the advanced management concept and education concept of experimental primary school to the development and construction of our school according to local conditions. He set a direction for the school: the combination of static and dynamic, and the combination of civil and military.
"Making the routine to the extreme is innovation, and making innovation routine is culture. This is my experience in experimental primary school. " Chen Liancai said.
One school, one product, characteristic development level.
"Mengcun is the birthplace of octupole boxing. Every morning, people in the Cultural Square don't dance square dance, but learn Bajiquan, so we promote Bajiquan as a special course of the school. " Chi Qingshan, director of the Education Bureau of Mengcun Hui Autonomous County, said.
Since 20 1 1, according to the requirement of Cangzhou Education Bureau to "pay attention to the characteristic construction of compulsory education schools", Mengcun Education Bureau has carried out the activity of "Eight-pole Boxing into Campus" in primary and secondary schools throughout the county. Editing textbooks, entering the classroom and training teachers have been very popular in recent years.
In the connotation construction of compulsory education, Cangzhou proposes to "pay close attention to the characteristics of running a school" and strive to form an educational pattern of "one school with one product and one school with one characteristic".
Cangzhou is the hometown of martial arts. According to statistics, there are nearly a thousand kinds of boxing in Cangzhou, where Wushu is prevalent. Therefore, the Municipal Education Bureau has set up a martial arts department to guide primary and secondary schools around the country to enter campus activities. Many primary and middle school students in Cangzhou "can play with their hands when they are pulled out".
Not only martial arts, calligraphy, painting, acrobatics, classic reading, etc. , has become the school-based curriculum of primary and secondary schools all over Cangzhou, and then has become the school-running characteristics of various schools.
Hejian, a famous historical and cultural city, is the "hometown of poetry", and "Chinese studies entering the campus" is the main line of characteristic construction of primary and secondary schools. Shuguang Primary School, located in Wuyuan North Street, hejian city, has specially compiled a set of historical and cultural readers and newly compiled three-character classics, which are divided into three categories: folk customs, historical sites and figures, as school-based teaching materials.
"The splendid characteristic school education has promoted the connotation construction of compulsory education in the city to develop in depth, and also opened up a sky for the improvement of the comprehensive quality of primary and secondary school students." Li Jinzhu, deputy director of Cangzhou Education Bureau, said.
Interconnection, modern technology adds wings
"Since the implementation of Banbantong, our school has not only opened music and art classes, but also teachers can use network resources to download high-quality courseware to assist teaching." At the Xinzhuang teaching point in Yangsanmu Township, Huanghua City, Shi, the principal of the central school, said.
Xinzhuang is a remote village in the northwest of Huanghua City. There are 62 students and 9 teachers in the teaching point of this village. The government-led information construction of modern education has connected optical fiber to the campus, and five classrooms have installed electronic whiteboards. In less than two years, the teachers and students here have tasted the sweetness brought by informationization.
According to Kang Xueshu, director of the Education Bureau of Huanghua City, the county-level basic education informatization project with an investment of 40 million yuan was completed and put into use in June, and all primary and secondary schools in the city have realized "three links and two platforms".
By the end of the year, Cangzhou has built 10 county-level metropolitan area networks, 1850 schools (including teaching points and secondary vocational schools) connected to broadband schools, and built 1063 1 multimedia classrooms and 320 high-definition automatic recording and broadcasting classrooms.
The key to information construction is application. Cangzhou City has successively issued a number of guidance documents to promote primary and secondary schools to change the traditional teaching mode and promote the complementarity between teaching and learning, teaching and teaching, and learning and learning. According to statistics, more than100000 students in this city have opened learning spaces.
In Renqiu Experimental Primary School, 89 teachers have browsed and downloaded the courseware "Musicians in Bloomfield" made by Li Buze. "With high-quality courseware, the context is clearer, the summary is more in place, and the interaction between teachers and students is more reasonable." Li Cong, a history teacher at Beihan Township Middle School, the southernmost central school in Renqiu, said.
"The gradual improvement of modern education information infrastructure has improved the conditions for running schools and inserted wings for the connotation construction of compulsory education." Sun Dui said: (Reporter Zhou, Yan Yuekun, special correspondent);
