During this summer training in Xiamen, two expert teachers from the front line of teaching-Wang Jiawen from Zhongshan Memorial School in Guangdong and Fang Haidong from Wenzhou No.2 Middle School in Zhejiang Province-warmly welcomed their lectures. Starting from the actual work of the head teacher, Mr. Wang Jiawen showed exquisite and wonderful multimedia class meeting materials for the teachers. What he provides is a "product" that can be used immediately. Very instrumental and practical. Fang Haidong, on the other hand, showed us an educator's persistent feelings through real and vivid cases, and let me see a real people-oriented "love education", which made me deeply realize once again that only "love" is the eternal driving force to stick to the cause of education.
Only by loving students can we really "pay attention" to students. We often say that teachers should pay attention to students and every detail of their growth. So what is the real "care"? Paying attention doesn't mean seeing or observing. The real "caring for students" should not only see the phenomenon, but also pursue the root behind the phenomenon, so as to find the best way to guide students to grow up healthily. This requires teachers to have a warm love. Teacher Fang Haidong told us a case.
Teacher Fang takes more than 5000 photos for students every year. In the snapshot of the class photo, the students are all looking up at the plane in the sky with rapt attention, only an ordinary girl is staring at the camera. Teacher Fang didn't let go of this detail. He immediately looked at his previous photos and found that almost every time when the students were having a heated discussion or playing happily, only this thin and unremarkable girl named "Ma" always smiled at the camera. Why? Why does she always stare at the camera? Obviously, she is looking for attention. So, why does such a little girl always ask for attention? From this extremely subtle look, Teacher Fang visited the girls' parents and pupils many times and finally found the root of the problem. Due to many factors such as family, individuals and environment, girls are too timid, inferior and lonely to be cared for by their relatives and unable to integrate into their classmates. Teacher Fang carefully designed a series of personal activities, group activities, class activities, caring and helping her without any trace, including making a video for her, making a book for her and so on. After two years of hard work, this once self-abased and timid little girl miraculously turned into a sunny, confident and positive person.
This is really concerned about the growth of students. I think the process of educating people (paying attention to students' growth) is similar to Chinese medicine treatment to some extent. First of all, we must have a keen eye and never let go of every tiny detail in the process of children's growth, even if it is only an instantaneous abnormality. However, this is only to find problems, just like Chinese medicine "looking, listening and asking", and now it is only the stage of "looking". Next, we need to seek the root of the disease by "smelling", "asking" and "feeling", and then we can prescribe the right medicine and get rid of the disease. Similarly, when we find some abnormal performances of students, we must not rush to judge, but should conduct investigation and research through various channels, trace the source, and then take the best and most effective measures to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, so as to achieve the best educational effect.
But the process of educating people is very different from that of traditional Chinese medicine. The goal of doctors is to cure diseases. What they pursue is to prescribe the right medicine and cure the disease. In order to cure the disease, they can use the most bitter medicine, even open the skull, break the belly and amputate, at the cost of hurting the patient's body first and then recovering slowly. Different educational background. Our goal is the lifelong development of students. In the process of education, whether we find problems, trace the source or take measures to solve problems, we are faced with immature and growing children in every link. We should not only guide them to grow up healthily, but also remind ourselves to protect children and safeguard their personal dignity, and never allow any harm to children in the name of "education" or "love". A teacher with real educational feelings should not only have the "benevolence" of doctors, but also have the "love" outside doctors.
Therefore, only love is the eternal driving force for us to persist in education.
