If we do a survey, it is estimated that most people can't answer who is the director of the Education Bureau in the areas where people study. The director of education has far less direct influence on students' growth than the head teacher and classroom teacher; The job characteristics of the director of education are also very different from those of front-line teachers, and the director of education cannot be defined by the standards of teachers. I think the Director of Education should have the following basic abilities:

1. Educational planning ability

Planning ability is very important to everyone, and about 80% of his work performance depends on it. Obviously, this is also the basic quality that a director of education should have.

Planning ability has two remarkable characteristics: one is procedural, and the other is foresight. To solve a problem, there are several steps to be completed, and each step cannot be misplaced. All these steps are procedures. Knowing the initial state, goal and procedure of the problem can predict the final result of the problem, which will make everyone have a clear goal at work and reduce anxiety.

Constantly discovering problems, planning paths and solving problems are the normal work of the director of education. There are many problems faced by education, many of which are often hidden behind complex phenomena and difficult to identify, which requires the director of education to have insight and be able to grasp the crux of the problem keenly, quickly and accurately; Predictable, able to predict the development trend of the problem in advance, and determine the scheme and procedure to deal with the problem according to the prediction; Be decisive, make a quick choice, make up your mind, and follow the planned procedure until the problem is solved.

Things are universally connected. What has been planned will still be affected by various factors in the specific implementation process, and even lead to the failure to implement the plan as scheduled. The director of education should be good at sizing up the situation, determine the improvement methods and procedures in the analysis of specific problems, and promote the work.

2. Ability to coordinate relationships

Education is not an island. Every move of education is concerned by all walks of life. Without the support of all parties, many things in education will be difficult to do. Therefore, the director of education should have the ability to coordinate all parties, properly handle the relationship with all sectors of society, and be good at inspiring subordinates to realize the vision of innovation.

Even an expert director of education can't master everything in the field of education management, which has its own limitations. Build an expert education team, give full play to their own organization and coordination ability, and let the directors in charge perform their duties and cooperate with each other. In the past, we used to say that trains run fast, relying entirely on the front of the car, but now we find that moving cars are faster. Bullet trains run faster than ordinary trains because every car has power.

It is the concrete embodiment of the education driving force of the director of education to make all functional departments of the education bureau, grass-roots schools and the leadership collective of the education bureau keep pace and move towards a common goal. This is directly related to the attraction, cohesion, appeal and personal charm of the director of education, and also reflects the harmonious relationship between the director of education and various departments and schools.

Listen carefully to the interests of all walks of life in education, communicate with the society on major issues of education development in time, seek the "greatest common denominator" in two-way interaction, and gather together to promote the development of education, which embodies the ability of the director of education to integrate interests. In the era of "self-media", the director of education should also improve his media literacy, coordinate the relationship with various media, and create a good public opinion environment for the development of education.

3. The ability to grasp the overall situation

The ancients said: those who don't seek the whole world don't seek a moment, and those who don't seek the overall situation don't seek a domain. The director of education should grasp the overall situation, that is, in the process of thinking, making decisions and promoting work, he should not be selfish, but stand on the height of the overall situation, look higher and think further.

It is the duty of the Education Bureau to ensure that the Party's educational policy is fully implemented, that education is governed by law, and that the national curriculum plan is effectively implemented in schools, which also reflects the political grasping ability of the education director. Especially in today's education field, the director of education should be good at grasping the overall situation, take the initiative to lead the regional education reform, actively explore new ways to reduce the burden and increase efficiency in education, and implement the fundamental task of educating people.

Following the educational law is also the embodiment of the director of education's ability to grasp the overall situation. Education is a "slow" cause, and an education policy will take at least 6-8 years from implementation to effectiveness, which is beyond the term of office of the director of education. The director of education should abandon the "face project" and not do anything that violates the laws of education. We should be good at being a relay team member and pass the baton well, instead of starting a new stove and putting the grassroots in a dilemma. The director of education should be in awe of education, knowing that there are still many things in education that he is not clear about and his grasp of the laws of education is limited. Don't make a decision easily.

4. Beyond self-ability

Today's society is the most rapidly changing era in human history. The top ten jobs of 20 14 did not exist a few years ago. The rapid and diverse social changes have brought great challenges to education. As a future-oriented career, what will education provide to students who are about to enter the future?

Let students form the habit of autonomous learning, which may be the most important thing that schools can give students now. With the habit of reading and studying independently, they can calmly cope with the new environment and new jobs, because they have the ability and motivation to constantly absorb new knowledge.

As the Director of Education, we should take the lead in this respect. First of all, we must be resilient, keep up with the pace of the times, realize the important task of education leading social development, set an example for learning, and strive to surpass ourselves; Secondly, we should have the ability to obtain information, learn and master professional knowledge in education management, and strive to become an expert in education management; Thirdly, we should have the comprehensive ability of knowledge, deeply understand the relationship between various fields, and be good at applying relevant basic theoretical knowledge to concrete practice through comprehensive processing.

The director of education is enthusiastic about education, persists in learning and strives to surpass himself, which will give confidence and courage to local educators.
