What kind of platform do teachers need for their growth?
Without the growth of teachers, there will be no high-quality education, which has increasingly become the consensus of people. Mr. Li Xigui said in the book "Students Second", "For a principal or an education administrator, paying attention to students should start with paying attention to teachers." American scholar Arthur combs and others clearly pointed out in the book "New Concept of School Leadership": "A vibrant organization has an important contribution to the personal and professional growth of educators." It can be seen that the school is the foundation of teachers' career and success, and the growth and success of any teacher can not be separated from the platform built by the school. Then, what kind of platform is needed for teachers' professional growth, or what kind of platform can schools build for teachers' growth? The author believes that there are mainly the following aspects: First, the practice platform is the teacher, and the most is the classroom teaching practice. Generally speaking, young teachers have to undertake subject teaching and class teacher work when they take part in the work. After years of continuous work, he has the opportunity to contact students extensively and deeply, exchange and feedback vividly, and collect a lot of first-hand information. This is the most precious resource and wealth for ordinary teachers compared with other educational researchers. Educational art is a practical art in essence, and advanced educational ideas are also summed up from practice, which can guide teaching practice and accept the test of practice. A teacher who has accumulated rich educational practice will certainly provide an important practical foundation and ideological reserve for his future educational research and ideological promotion. The first step of a teacher's professional growth is to teach books well and become a teacher that students like. Therefore, it is necessary to study classroom teaching practice. As a school, we should provide more and better practical opportunities for teachers, especially young teachers, so that they can better practice in the classroom, exercise their abilities and improve the level of educational art. Some schools hold a wealth of open class research activities, such as introductory courses for young teachers, customs clearance courses, lectures, competitions and challenges. , but also organize academic leaders and famous teachers to take demonstration classes and research classes for ordinary teachers to learn and observe. Some schools will also send teachers to some special-grade teachers' classes to study. These lectures and lectures based on practice are important platforms for teachers to accumulate teaching experience. If used well, teachers can grow into skilled teachers in a short time. Of course, teachers can't just take classes, but also need to take high-quality classes, which requires grinding classes. The so-called grinding class is a process in which a teacher prepares lessons for several rounds, attends classes, participates in the opinions of teachers in the same subject group, and finally creates a more exciting class. The whole research process, taking the lesson as the carrier, from theoretical study to lesson design to behavioral reflection. There are theoretical guidance, practical reflection, avoiding the blindness of teaching, vivid case anatomy and micro-reflection. Although hard, it is of great benefit to instructors. The process of grinding is a process in which teachers learn, practice and summarize the art of classroom teaching. Several rounds of polishing can not only improve teachers' own teaching behavior, but also stimulate teachers' constant pursuit of classroom teaching realm, and also promote and motivate teachers in the same subject group. Therefore, this form has gradually become an important path for many schools to cultivate young teachers' professional growth. When a teacher looks at classroom teaching from a researcher's perspective, teaching is not a simple task, let alone a means of earning money to support his family, but a process of exploring educational art and pursuing true knowledge, and a platform for teaching research. This kind of teaching practice has far-reaching value and significance. Second, the new curriculum of research platform puts forward the concept of "teachers are researchers", which is a misunderstanding that teachers' task is to use other people's research results and teachers don't need to study. Today, however, people realize that the task of teachers is not only to teach students the knowledge created by others, but also to study how to make students master knowledge and skills faster and easier, and how to make students full of creative passion and creativity. At the same time, teachers are creators of knowledge and researchers of teaching methods, and they are contributing their wisdom and strength to education. Since teachers are researchers, schools should provide a research platform for their investigation and research. Generally speaking, there are several kinds of research activities in the school: 1, and the research activities of the preparation group are fixed in time and place. The teachers of the preparation group concentrate on in-depth analysis and research of a unit or lesson example of the textbook used, and agree on three-dimensional teaching objectives, key difficulties, teaching methods and procedures. This kind of activity seems simple and ordinary, but it is actually the foundation of school education and teaching, and it is the basic project of implementing effective teaching and even efficient teaching. If teaching is the central work of a school, then if we grasp the link of preparing lessons before class, the central work will be half successful. Many schools have summed up a lot of experience in lesson preparation, such as collective lesson preparation, which is presided over by the group leader and discussed by everyone, and finally forms a lesson plan preparation activity model. Another example is the form of "one person takes the lead and everyone participates", that is, a teacher undertakes a text teaching, first prepares lessons, lectures and demonstration classes independently, and then the teachers in the group discuss and revise them to form a teaching plan. These are all lesson preparation research activities under the guidance of the concept of cooperation and sharing advocated by the new curriculum reform. 2. Subject group research activities based on thematic research. Subject group is the main line of the school to carry out education and teaching research in various disciplines, and the requirements of the school for subject teaching are conveyed and implemented through subject group. Generally speaking, the research group will focus on one aspect of the teaching of this subject in the form of special research according to the arrangement of the school. The topics revolve around how to implement it, taking Chinese as an example, such as "how to teach composition well", "how to improve the classroom teaching efficiency of reading class", "how to carry out comprehensive Chinese practice activities" and "how to teach Chinese garden well". When the research group discusses, it finds problems in time and discusses and solves them. Therefore, this kind of activity not only promotes ideas, but also summarizes practical experience, and can also discuss specific problems in teaching and seek solutions. Therefore, it often has high timeliness and has important guiding and practical significance for school teaching. 3. Teaching and scientific research activities based on project research Due to changes in social needs, changes in students' individual physical and mental development, and the promotion of new curriculum reform, schools are facing various new problems. To solve these problems, primary and secondary school teachers need to actively engage in educational research activities and seek new ways and methods to solve problems with the help of scientific research. Project research is a form of teaching and research activities that organically combines teaching research with scientific research. It takes the problems encountered in the usual teaching process as the research object, makes a research plan, conducts repeated research around the same topic within a predetermined time, explores teaching countermeasures and solves problems. The general practice is: (1) Select a topic. The topic insists on starting from the actual needs of schools or teachers, summarizing and screening the problems and puzzles in teaching practice, determining a research topic, and organizing exchanges and demonstrations, so that the topic research can truly "carry out teaching research and solve teaching problems by itself". ⑵ Each teaching and research group collects data around the topic, and selects and arranges materials. (3) Self-declaration and determination of the members of the research group. According to the selected topics and collected data, teachers with research interest and research ability will form a research team to formulate research objectives and plans at this stage. (4) Establish a research system. Determine the time, place and activity form of research, and emphasize the combination of theory and practice, teaching and scientific research, teacher research and expert guidance in learning and research. (5) Show the staged research results of the project once every semester to achieve the purpose of popularizing and radiating excellent experience. (6) When the time is ripe, apply for project acceptance immediately. The teachers of the research group should complete the research report or conclusion report of the project and summarize the education and teaching experience. Primary and secondary school teachers carry out educational research with the help of project research, which plays an important role in solving practical problems in schools, promoting the sustainable development of schools, and effectively improving teachers' education and teaching level and scientific research literacy. Many famous teachers and special-grade teachers have embarked on the road to success with the help of project research. 4. Teaching research based on individual independent research activities is more carried out in the process of educational practice, which requires teachers to have the consciousness of independent research. In educational practice, the teaching of a class, the handling of educational details, the transformation of a child, etc. can all be studied and analyzed, so as to find a scientific and reasonable solution. In fact, this is an individual-based educational research. The research of autonomous education includes educational narrative, case study, teaching reflection and other forms, which are free and lively. The key is that teachers themselves should pay attention to catching the spark of thinking in educational life in time and be diligent in reflection and exploration; Second, perseverance is the only way to find regular things, sum up and conclude, and finally form results. The research activities of independent education seem to be free and random, lacking standardization, but it is precisely the most abundant and vital research activities. Many famous teachers, such as Wei Shusheng, Qiu Xuehua and Qian Menglong, grew up by independent research. Third, the exchange platform British writer Bernard Shaw said: "You have an apple, I have an apple, and exchange with each other is still an apple; You have an idea, I have an idea, and two or more ideas are exchanged. " The ideological collision and confrontation caused by sincere communication will make our understanding of the problem more comprehensive and in-depth, and will make some themes and ideas deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. For example, teachers in a school watch a class together, or read a book together. They have various feelings for each other. If they sit together and can communicate and share, then there will be a platform for communication and a space for the intersection of ideas. Teachers will consciously realize that it is natural to improve the quality of observation or reading in order to contribute to sharing and communication. Through sharing and communication in the team, mutual understanding is deepened, the heart is enriched, and the literacy ability is naturally improved. The inner demand for sharing and communication is an important source of educational strength, and the opposite of the demand for sharing and communication is inner numbness and fatigue, which is precisely the real source of educational burnout. Since communication is the objective need of people's life, it is necessary for schools to build a communication platform to adapt to the trend of teachers' needs. So, which forms are more appropriate? 1. The teachers' forum is led by the teaching department and can also be divided into subject groups. Set the forum theme in advance every month (or every two weeks, etc.). ), and can invite all teachers or subject group teachers to participate as needed, or invite well-known experts and scholars to participate as appropriate. The topic can be a hot topic and focus in curriculum reform, or it can be a specific problem that teachers encounter in actual teaching. Such as: how to improve the efficiency of classroom teaching; How to design homework to make students like it; How to cultivate students' study habit of speaking actively; How to organize collective lesson preparation and so on. Before the activity, participants are required to study by themselves in advance, find information and prepare speeches. During the activity, a "round table forum" can be arranged for democratic exchanges; It can also be in the form of "guest interview", and the participating teachers can be both audiences and enthusiastic speakers; Teachers can also take turns giving lectures on the same topic. Forum is to build a platform for teachers to learn theory, communicate and interact. With brand-new ideas and rich practical experience as the theme, this paper expounds new education and teaching ideas from different sides and angles, creates a strong theoretical learning atmosphere, gives play to the advantages of group theoretical research, exchanges needed goods, shares resources, cooperates with learning and makes common progress. At the same time, this form also allows teachers to show themselves in the exchange debate, increase their talents, broaden their horizons, reach a consensus, and effectively promote teachers' self-development. 2. The network media network has penetrated into people's lives more and more, and it has become a trend to communicate and learn through the network. There are many forms of online media, and the most suitable one is blog. As a product of the Internet information age, teachers can conveniently record teaching stories in daily action research on blogs, accumulate all kinds of information needed for research in time, and call them whenever needed: reflection, writing, quotation ... all of which can get convenient services. More importantly, blogs make teachers change from a man-machine conversation when surfing the Internet to a dialogue between people. On the blog, teachers can get encouragement and appreciation from familiar and unfamiliar education bloggers, and get knowledge, wisdom and emotional satisfaction in learning and communication. Therefore, blog is not only an important way for teachers to achieve professional growth, but also a space for teachers' personalized communication and an important technical force and humanistic environment in the process of teachers' professional development under the background of new curriculum. In this regard, schools can actively encourage and properly guide network technology to serve the construction of teachers, such as advocating teachers to set up their own educational blogs, recording their daily educational footprints, and harvesting the maturity of educational ideas. At the same time, the school has established an educational blog alliance to exchange water and dive with each other. Schools can also recommend some famous blogs and well-known educational websites and forums for teachers to browse. 3. Many teachers of academic newspapers and periodicals, with sufficient practical experience and theoretical study, are often not satisfied with shallow communication such as posting on campus or online, and gradually have the need to contribute to newspapers and periodicals. Teachers will get the opportunity to communicate with editing teachers in submitting and revising manuscripts, and be inspired by many things to broaden their horizons. Many teachers get the joy of success from publishing the first paper, and actively learn from more excellent teachers, and start the journey of publishing the second and third papers. Some teachers even published personal monographs. With the help of academic newspapers and periodicals, exchange learning is a high-level exchange activity and a sign that teachers' professional development is moving towards the fast lane. Many famous teachers have stepped out of the platform of writing articles and entered the public's field of vision, and have a broader stage since then. In this regard, the school should give active support and help, actively build a platform, and provide necessary guidance and services, such as inviting some experts and scholars to guide writing, subscribing to magazines for teachers, providing mailboxes for educational newspapers, inviting magazine editors to come to the school to help contribute common sense, and setting up scientific research awards such as paper publishing to encourage teachers to develop to a higher level. Fourth, the learning platform teachers want to make progress, in addition to in-depth practice and research, but also study hard. Reading is an indispensable and important way to enhance cultural connotation. Suhomlinski said in "One Hundred Suggestions for Teachers": "Read every day and be friends with books all your life", "It enriches the river of thoughts. Reading is not for class tomorrow, but for instinctive needs and curiosity. " In a sense, we can read a lot of books, read ancient and modern educational masterpieces, talk to the master and contact him. "Take the road of Wan Li and study thousands of books", teachers can only improve their cultural quality if they persevere and study hard. Only teachers who love reading can cultivate students who love reading. What books should teachers read? I think we should read at least three kinds of books: first, educational newspapers and magazines directly related to teaching and classroom records and analysis of famous teachers. Because these books provide teachers with the closest experience to education and teaching, we can learn from other teachers' attitudes and handling of educational details, and we can also learn from them directly. If you study deeply, you can also understand the mental process of the growth of famous teachers and promote your own growth step by step. The second is educational monograph. Teachers must have rich educational theories and ideas if they want to develop professionally. Where did these things come from? It should be obtained from famous educational books at home and abroad. For example, Suhomlinski's works, Dewey's works, Constructivism Theory and Multiple Intelligences Theory, as well as China's education history, foreign education history, pedagogy, psychology and management. From this, we can learn from the understanding and thinking of ancient and modern educators on the laws of education, consciously study and speculate, and gradually build our own educational thoughts and theoretical framework. Third, read more humanities works, such as literature, philosophy and other social science works. Although these works are not directly related to the current teaching, they can be influenced by human nature and appreciate the brilliance of human nature. All these will have an important impact on teachers' educational thoughts, and some may completely change their original educational views. There are many ways to learn. You can read freely, listen to lectures and reports, and participate in academic research. The advantages of free reading are no utilitarian color, free time, rich mind, free breathing and enjoying reading. Reading is also very wide, and all kinds of miscellaneous books can broaden your horizons. The disadvantage is that there is no constraint, it is easy to be interfered and rejected by other things, and it is difficult to persist without tenacious will and strong desire. The advantage of listening to the lecture report is that you can get the guidance of experts and scholars, and you can think about some problems suddenly. The disadvantage is limited conditions and few opportunities. Academic education is compulsory, which can force you to read many boring theories in a short time, and effectively increase your solid theoretical literacy through rote memorization. The disadvantage is that it is constrained, boring and requires perseverance. Of course, reading is everywhere, all the time, in any form. The key is action and persistence. Schools can build a suitable platform to promote this problem and cultivate teachers' reading habits. For example, it can be promoted by building a scholarly campus, subscribing to teachers' education magazines, teachers' reading exchanges, reading lectures, and reading famous works by teachers and students together. It can also be promoted through the system, such as the regulation of reading volume, the competition of writing after reading, and the improvement of academic qualifications, thus promoting the improvement of teachers' reading level. In a word, reading plays an important role in both young teachers and famous teachers. Many teachers often encounter bottlenecks and plateau phenomena in their professional development, and often seek solutions through reading. The enthusiasm, habits and needs of reading directly determine a person's cultural taste and also determine a person's future development direction. With the concept of lifelong learning deeply rooted in people's hearts, it is believed that seeking professional development through reading will definitely become the conscious action and pursuit of many teachers.
