Napoleon once said, "A soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier!" Similarly, as a teacher, I am only content to be a teacher all my life. I have no idea of keeping pace with the times, no dream of becoming a generation of famous teachers and outstanding educators, and I still hold a passive attitude of standing still and not seeking progress. So, what qualities should an educator have? President Liu Pengzhi's "Life Events" gave a clear answer. First of all, educators should have their own educational ideas, independent opinions on education and unremitting pursuit of educational ideas. Mediocrity should be the fundamental difference between teachers and educators. Since ancient times, everyone's expectation and understanding of education will be different. However, educators' educational thoughts should be deeper, more systematic, more conscious, more original, and more able to uphold and practice their own educational beliefs. Secondly, educators should not only have profound thoughts, but also need rich educational practice. It can be said that educators are practitioners of ideas. Whether abstract theories and advanced ideas can be integrated into every specific detail is the obvious difference between educators and educational thinkers. Educators should be good at deepening educational thoughts, enriching educational wisdom and improving educational art in practice; We should be good at combining knowledge transfer with human development, and take optimizing the healthy growth environment of students as our code of conduct; We should be good at combining students' development with teachers' development and play a leading role in teachers' collective team. Third, educators are reform practitioners and innovation practitioners. They can keep pace with the times and constantly innovate their educational ideas in the practice of reform. Being good at discovering new situations, new problems and new trends, catching new opportunities, taking new measures and establishing new mechanisms are the remarkable characteristics of contemporary educators. Facing the ever-changing social situation and energetic students with the characteristics of the times and fresh experiences, they should be able to grasp the pulse of the times, conform to the trend of the times, dare to lead the times, and embody and represent the development direction of advanced culture in the educational process; They should dare to surpass themselves, constantly renew their ideas and set new goals for the development of individuals and schools. Fourthly, educators are pioneers, demonstrators and advocates, designers who can put forward the long-term goals of school development, spiritual leaders who can build an elite team of teachers and leaders who pursue outstanding school achievements. Fifth, educators must be people with rich humanity, perfect personality and noble character. Real educators leave people with thoughts and personalities. Education is love, and the more selfless and profound this love is; Education is an idea. The more realistic this idea is, the smarter it is. Education is a kind of faith. The stronger this belief is, the more powerful it is. Education is a pursuit, and the more persistent this pursuit is, the greater the gains will be. Without the great love of "holding a heart and not taking a blade of grass", the great righteousness of "I will go to hell if I don't go" and the ambition of "being the first and striving for first-class", how can there be a great educator? As a teacher, principal or researcher, can you treat students as your own? Think of school as home? Regard education as life? If so, even if you can't become a famous educator, you have no regrets in teaching!
