Kindergarten teachers must study.
How many possibilities are there to read an educational book? Quietly enter, let the author take you to swim in various educational concepts simply, and look for the cool breeze and bright moon in education. Kyle's book "Being a Warm Educator" did it.
Teacher Kyle is an ordinary educator. He has a deep knowledge of language, is good at grasping things around him sensitively, and is handy in describing various topics from the perspective of education. Over time, he insisted on writing, which constituted more than 270,000 words of educational works. Sad prose
Most of the articles in the book are short and pithy, and there are no redundant words, which gives people a strong reading pleasure. The book is rich in topics, which makes us deeply feel the free search process of an ordinary teacher as a teacher, as a student and as a person. In view of the triviality and complexity of reality, Mr. Kyle always takes care of educational reality with the wisdom of educators, showing an educator's attitude towards work and life.
As educators, we should seek a state of working attitude.
The book puts forward many suggestions on the working attitude of educators, such as: the basic requirements of teachers are to create a relaxed and harmonious environment, adjust the inner state of mind that constitutes tolerance, and adhere to the communicative mentality of generosity and care; ? Small doubts and small progress, big doubts and big progress? It can cultivate students' skepticism, critical thinking and innovative spirit. These all need teachers to constantly seek!
Regarding the attitude of educators, Mr. Kyle thinks that realm is the best, and draws lessons from Mr. Wang Guowei's classic description of realm, that is, the first realm. The west wind withered the green trees last night. A person in a tall building can see the end of the world. ? The second world? I don't regret that my belt is getting wider and wider, which makes people haggard for Iraq. ? The third realm? Looking for him in the crowd, suddenly looking back, that person is in the dim light? . Education with realm has its own style, and education with realm has vitality. There are big and small realms, and there is no distinction between good and bad. Teaching knowledge, teaching methods and teaching mentality can be the three realms of education. For growing people, knowledge, methods and mentality are very important. The realm is from low to high, the low level is knowledge acquisition, and the high level is mentality cultivation. As long as it can be effectively integrated, it can promote the harmonious development of life. Birthday greetings from colleagues
As an educator, we should seek a quality attitude towards life.
A quality attitude towards life has various connotations, and reading is a good channel. Reading can make people happy and improve themselves. Reading makes life more interesting, makes people feel more peaceful and makes their career more intelligent.
Educators are the inheritors and leaders of culture. Reading is not only the demand of self-improvement, but also the requirement of occupation. As long as there are teachers who are willing to keep company with books, stick to it? I love my teacher, and I love truth more? Attitude, you can find the breeze and bright moon in your heart, and you can shape a quality life posture.
Let every touch melt in your heart, let every feeling sprout in your heart, and record your thoughts. As an ordinary educator, Kyle has brought us a model of good attitude towards work and life.
Let's look for the cool breeze and bright moon in education with a warm heart and become warm educators!
Reflections on the books that preschool teachers must read (Ⅱ)
Go to the bookstore and look through the dazzling array of preschool education books on the shelf. Although there are many excellent books, it is difficult to feel the heartbeat, and there are too many words, and I don't know where to go. Suddenly I saw this book and thought it was a very theoretical book, or an example of a child's mother growing up with her child. But after I opened it, I was deeply attracted by the illustrations and concise dialogues and recommendations. Seeing the pros and cons of illustration, I deeply feel that our family and kindergarten teachers will have corresponding inappropriate language more or less. Maybe those languages are normal to us on weekdays, but in contrast, I can really feel the power of appreciating or accepting and empathetic languages. Even as an adult, I prefer to hear such language. Of course, what the book says is not only language, but also an attitude.
After reading this book, I have too much joy and too much confusion. Read a little every day, and you will be full of expectation and look forward to the next day. I think I have found a suitable way to communicate with children or deal with problems. I want to spend my perfect time in the garden happily, equally and effectively with the children in these precious ways as soon as possible. But there will always be some problems in the process of implementation. The seemingly simple dialogue in the book is not an easy task in the process of implementation. First of all, things happen in different situations, and the language in the book can't be imitated stiffly. At first, I thought these simple languages were good? Say? However, in the process of communication, I found it really difficult. It is mentioned in the book that many ways of speaking in our lives have changed qualitatively and it is difficult to change. Teachers or family members need to practice. Second, we should change our attitude. There is only one life, and you can't go back at any moment. Children are perfect. Zuo kindergarten teachers must study, and so does En's childhood. If you want children to have a wonderful childhood, you must have enough patience to treat them, listen to their every word, and find their happy or sad moments. We are teachers and students, or mother and daughter. There are many trivial things in life, and sometimes we are inevitably impatient. But your little negligence may make your child leave a small one? Pain? . If you are unhappy, you can talk to the children. They can feel your sadness, but please don't push them away as an excuse.
This book has a great influence on me, although my understanding of this book is not very thorough. But so what? Learn to appreciate children? Can I have some? Proud? I deeply feel the power of appreciation.
Hehe is the youngest child in our class, and he is also a boy. Compared with other children, his potential development in all aspects is relatively slow. In addition, he has never been to kindergarten before (kindergarten will transfer next semester, but he seldom enters the park because of frequent illness). He doesn't adapt to the life in kindergarten, and he doesn't take part in various activities in the class. He asks the teacher to feed him every time he eats. Even if the teacher feeds him, he doesn't eat much, and sometimes he vomits after eating a few bites. He has a stubborn temper. As long as he doesn't want to eat, no matter how the teacher feeds him, he won't take a bite of rice. Because he had heart surgery just after he was born, the teacher has been taking close care of him. After the beginning of this semester, his potential development in all aspects has improved slightly, but he still needs teachers to support him. Once the teacher praised him at dinner, and he was very happy. The next day, when I was eating, I found that he was willing to eat. Although he still needs the teacher to feed him, he is much faster. I will feed him every day for the next few days. Praise him quietly. One day I saw him eating with a spoon. I went to him at once and praised him. Our food is getting better and better. We all eat with spoons ourselves, don't we? He smiled and nodded a few times, and I gave him a thumbs up. Thumb? . I found that he not only took the initiative to eat, but also made great progress in other aspects. Seeing the teacher greet the teacher with a smile, all the teachers in the park praised our class? Tiny? Grow up.
I am very happy to see every progress. Do I realize that? Like? The power of. But praise is not just about using? You're amazing! ? 、? Okay？ 、? Great! ? And other words that generally evaluate children's words and deeds. Children don't use such words. They probably think you are perfunctory. When I first entered the park, I didn't know how to communicate with children and how to praise them because of lack of practical experience. When I see children building beautiful houses on corner games, I always say to them, Xx is really good! ? At first, the children were very happy. But after two or three times, the children didn't respond to my praise, and sometimes they just looked at me with no expression, which made me feel very? Awkward? . I began to think about the children's reaction. Do they care about teachers' praise or praise? Numb? Is it? In the process of contact with children, I found that children still care about the teacher's praise and praise, but the teacher is not suitable? Like? It will make children doubt, for example, when building blocks, I just praise the children for doing well, but I don't point out what is good. Will children doubt such praise? Is the teacher praising me? Am I a good rider? Praise without a specific direction will make them? Tired? . Therefore, I will practice how to praise children in a targeted manner. I will quietly observe their performance in the usual activities, and then think about how to praise her, so that I can effectively praise the children in the next activities.
Praise is perfect, loved by children and desired by the heart, but I have struggled and hesitated: is praise restricted again? What kind of degree do you want?
Once, the grandmother of one of our children came to me and said; ? Teacher, can you send a small sticker to our Qiqi this afternoon? Our family has been studying Qiqi for several days. ? Qiqi is a very clever girl, and she performs well in all aspects. Teachers and children love her very much. She often gets praise or stickers from teachers, but after one thing, I began to think about whether to praise her often. When I came one morning, the children were playing on the slide. Qiqi ran on the slide, bumped into the children and fell on the slide. I looked, and there was no bruise. I looked into Qiqi's eyes and was a little scared. I just said, slow down, huh? . Before lunch, the children washed their hands and the ground was wet. I reminded them to walk slowly back to the classroom, but she ran back. I just asked her to come back and walk again, and she left? Cry? Yes I have thought about this situation. Is it true that kindergarten teachers usually praise positively, and she can't understand the inappropriate places pointed out by the teachers? Is frustration education necessary? So when praising children, I? On purpose? Ignore her. Whenever I see her eyes eager to be praised by the teacher, my heart is also very entangled. She did really well. Should I continue to ignore her? In repeated struggles, I found myself wrong. Just as adults like to be praised by others, we are eager to be praised for the beauty of our newly bought skirts and newly cut hair, so are children, especially teachers. Every child should be praised, every progress they have made, every one.
Everyone expects the teacher to see what is good, and the teacher's praise is exactly what the teacher said to them? Feedback? . I didn't do well enough in Qiqi's situation. Because Kiki is a clever girl, I usually pretend not to see anything that she doesn't do well enough. Is it the teacher's behavior that makes Qiqi? Cry? Yes Therefore, the child's misconduct should also be given timely feedback, not because she is a good girl. Pampering her is unfair to other children and unfair to her. Teachers praise or point out inappropriate places for children, only for children's current behavior, not for children themselves.
After seeing my child's little progress, I started a plan: a praise every day. A trivial compliment to adults may excite children for a day or a period of time, so we should not be stingy with our compliments. Children warm my heart with their sweet smiles every day. I will also discover their beauty with my eyes, praise them with my mouth and bring them a little sweetness every day. It may be a little difficult for a new teacher to praise every child every day, but I want to work hard bit by bit. Maybe from now on, I can only pay attention to 10 children a day. There will be more and more slowly, and I will find every little change of my child more and more carefully. From the child's point of view, express your true feelings appropriately and pertinently, and the child can feel the teacher's heartfelt praise.
Reflections on Preschool Teachers' Must-read Books (Ⅲ)
I carefully read the sensitive period of catching children, only to find that many times we don't really understand the life of young children. In fact, I feel deeply after reading this book. Many times adults think that they educate their children according to the laws of the adult world, but we don't find that we consciously broke into their world, destroyed the laws of the children's world, and smugly thought that we were doing them good. In fact, as a foreign body, we break into children's harmonious world, not to teach children what to do according to the daily laws and relevant laws of adult society, but to seriously understand their world and read their hearts. When children can open their hearts and accept you with peace of mind, you can become friends with them and begin to play the role and purpose of guiding your world. Until then, everything was in vain.
The sensitive period of a child is a critical period, and the development of the critical period of a child is the key to a child's life. As a teacher, we should fully understand the critical period of children's development at all ages, and at the same time, we should always pay attention to correctly guiding children in daily life to maximize their faster and better growth. Children at different ages have corresponding critical periods of development.
0-2 years old: Newborns are sensitive to the world from birth, which is a critical period for children of this age, regardless of vision, hearing, mouth, hands, walking and language. When a newborn opens his eyes, he will observe the sunny world from a visual perspective. At this time, it is necessary to bring a scientific visual environment to children, which is not only to exercise the potential of children's eyes, but more importantly, the vision of children in the visual sensitive period is closely related to the development of brain development and governance. Vision is an important channel for human brain to obtain external information, which can significantly affect brain development. During this period, children began to know the outside world with their mouths, so the phenomenon of eating fingers appeared constantly. When we find the phenomenon of eating fingers in children's lives, we should face up to this problem, not absolutely prohibit it. At the stage when children can't express themselves in words, it takes a moment to explore this unknown world with their mouths. When we adopt scientific methods to satisfy the taste and touch of children's mouth and bring them hard food under safe conditions, and with the growth of children's age, children's hands and other organs will also have sensitive periods. At that time, the way children explore the world with their mouths will quietly take a back seat. On the contrary, many children still eat their hands in kindergarten, largely because parents stop them.
2-4 years old: at this stage, children reach the age of kindergarten and grow from independent individuals to public life. Many times, these phenomena often occur in my small class, such as grabbing toys, crawling around in chairs and deducting sequins from clothes and shoes. At first, I took measures to stop it and told my children that these behaviors were incorrect, but I didn't deeply reflect that these were the development of children of this age in the sensitive period of self-awareness, sense of space and attention to small things. When treating all my children, we should give them full choices, and we should not condemn our actions. If we force our children to return their belongings to others, they won't feel safe at all. While correctly guiding young children, we should give them enough autonomy. Regarding children's observation of small things, Piaget believes that children first develop their cognition and understanding of the external world through simple schema. Therefore, children's initial understanding of the world must start from the micro, and the external world is also micro in their eyes. The glittering phenomenon is performed almost every day in my Class 2. From the beginning to the moment I stopped, I deeply realized the importance of observing small things for children. Creating some gadgets for children or leading them to an observation and education activity class on sequins is far more scientific, practical and problem-solving than often preventing children from playing with sequins in life. It is essential and very important to know the development of children at all ages and what key periods are being developed at this stage. Not only that, in children's daily life, there are often phenomena that exclude children's certain personalities, which turns out to be a sensitive period of children's interpersonal relationships. At this time, it is necessary to correctly recognize the importance of children's interpersonal relationships. The difference between children with good interpersonal relationship and children with poor interpersonal relationship is not whether they like communication or not, but their psychological quality and social potential. Behavior is a very important factor. Friendly and careful communication behavior will be welcomed, while those children who grab toys and push children will become excluded children. At this time, it is very important to give children correct behavior guidance. But many times, these two kinds of children will be concerned by teachers. They often don't remember the neglected children, and they are not welcome or excluded. At this time, I will often mobilize the whole class to remember names. At some stage, I will pay attention to those children whose names are not remembered by paying attention to their performance and answering questions. Although children's interpersonal skills are cultivated imperceptibly, at least the problems between children are solved correctly by scientific methods.
Older children, such as 4-5-year-old middle school children, will have some problems about marriage and gender, while older children of 5-6 years old will have some problems about the order, arrangement and combination of words, symbols and numbers, which requires us as the most child's mentor to carefully observe and correctly guide children out of the confusion in life. If we don't do this, we should pay attention to family education. Kindergarten is a second home for children and a fertile ground for their growth. However, it is not enough to rely solely on the unilateral education of kindergartens, and the close cooperation of parents is also an essential and important link.
Many times, children often don't know that they have done something wrong, but once they realize it, they will reflect on themselves, and they have the potential for self-reflection. As a teacher, we should wait patiently for children to correct their mistakes, which is the only process for every child to grow up. Teachers' patient teaching, parents' support and cooperation, and common education at home lay a solid foundation for children to successfully pass through the sensitive period and promote their healthy and happy growth.
