Speaking of quality education, maybe everyone has something to say. Although we have been advocating quality education in recent years, it is always a little worse than the quality education we imagined.
What is the real quality education? We can't give a definite answer! Today, let's take a look at the education model of American star teachers, which deserves our study and reflection!
Ron. Clark was born in North Carolina and traveled around the world after graduating from college. At the age of 23, he began to teach in a rural school in his hometown. Five years later, he came to Harlem, new york, and achieved great success in education.
He was invited by the American President and his wife to take students to the White House three times. In 2000, he was elected as Disney's teacher of the year, published 55 basic class rules (Chinese translation is called Excellence is taught) and 1 1 excellent quality of educators, and founded Ron? Clark college. He was praised by oprah winfrey, a famous TV presenter? Winfrey is called "American teacher". His legendary story was made into a movie "Hot Blood Teacher" by Hollywood, and he also became an American star teacher who attracted worldwide attention.
Such 55 class rules
The way one gets along with others.
1. Be polite and measured when dealing with adults. When answering questions, always say "yes, sir" or "no, sir", just nodding your head or using other expressions of "yes" or "no" will not do;
2. When interacting with people, look into each other's eyes; Know the importance of eye contact. If someone is talking, always keep your eyes on the speaker; If someone else has a problem, turn around and face that person.
3. Be happy that others have good performance;
Congratulations to the winner of the game or someone who does something particularly well. Clap for at least 3 seconds, and the two hands are fully contacted to make the applause loud enough.
4. Respect other people's speeches and ideas;
Mr. Clark's approach is: "When discussing problems, we should respect the comments, opinions and ideas of other students." Try to say, "I agree with John, but I also think …" "I don't agree with Sarah. Although she gets to the heart of the problem, I think …" or "I think Vico's observation is really wonderful, which makes me realize …"
5. Don't show off if you have any good performance, and don't be angry if you lose to others;
6. If someone asks you a question, you ask him a question;
7. Sneeze and cough and say sorry;
8. Don't make rude gestures; Don't slap, make noise, roll your eyes or make disrespectful gestures.
9. When someone gives you anything, say thank you.
10. After receiving prizes and gifts, don't abandon them; If the other party is hesitant, Mr. Clark's way to deal with this situation is to take back the gift without hesitation.
1 1. Surprise others with a little thoughtfulness.
habit
12. Be especially careful when correcting students' papers;
13. When reading the text together, the whole class should look at the words of mindfulness;
"Whenever I read it to my children, I will read it with full emotion, energy and expressiveness, and I will wholeheartedly enter the role." Mr. Clark also constantly changes his voice and does various actions according to his role. "This method makes the whole reading process full of fun, and also tells children how fascinating reading is." "If I see a student not staring at that page when we are reading, or I ask a student to continue reading, but he doesn't know where we have just read, then the student's name will be recorded on the blackboard." Habit becomes nature, and the child's concentration will be high in the future.
Answer all questions in complete sentences;
First, repeat the question and give the answer, then give the main reason, third explain the reason, and finally repeat the question and give the answer. Teacher Clark asks students to answer questions in this way to exercise their language expression and writing ability.
15. No prizes;
Teacher Clark often gives some prizes to good students, but when students with good grades ask for prizes, he will resolutely refuse. "I try to let them know that doing everything well is not for prizes, but for myself." "Help children finally learn to affirm the value of self-struggle."
16. Finish homework every day;
Mr. Clark's brilliant idea is to "put up a huge banner outside the classroom", which reads: "The whole class has finished all their homework for _ _ days in a row". When the children went on for more than 10 days, Mr. Clark began to make delicious snacks for the children. The longest time for a child is 62 days in a row. Mr Clark said that he had become a "chef". It's crazy enough. That year, Mr. Clark's grades soared like a rocket.
classroom discipline
17. When changing subjects, move quickly, move lightly, and keep order;
Teacher Clark trains students to change books like games and competitions, and also helps teachers install projectors (connecting power, pulling screens, closing windows, pulling curtains and turning off lights). Children are trained to be orderly, have fun, have fun ~ ~
18. Everything should be organized;
In order to help the children to be organized, Mr. Clark went to the store during the holiday and bought a set of equipment that he wanted the children to have, which could hold notebooks, loose-leaf pages, notebooks, rulers and so on. Mr. Clark took photos of everything he bought on the floor, made a detailed list, and sent a photo and a letter to each student three weeks before the start of school. At the beginning of school, Mr. Clark carefully checked each student's supplies, told them when to use what things, labeled them and demonstrated them to the children. Later, children naturally became very organized. Mr Clark realized that children really like to be organized. In addition, it is worth mentioning that Mr. Clark asks his former students every year what their new teachers think of their performance in class. In this way, Mr. Clark can know the shortcomings and successes of his teaching from the side. What a considerate teacher!
19. Don't complain when the teacher assigns homework; Whoever violates it will have to do twice as much homework.
Clark insisted on this severe punishment in order to let the children accept the necessary tasks with a positive attitude. Teacher Clark thinks that instead of complaining about every homework (or task that must be completed), every job that should be completed is full of rebellious psychology. It is better to let them do double the homework several times, so that they will never complain and complain when they accept homework (and tasks) from now on.
20. Other teachers should take the place of class and obey the class rules;
The purpose of this detail is to cultivate children's "working for themselves whether the boss is here or not", that is, to cultivate awareness. Clark made a lot of efforts to this end, teaching seriously.
2 1. Speak in class, or get up, be polite;
22. You can't get up and pour water in the middle of class;
23. Say hello to Teacher XXX when you meet every teacher.
Mr. Clark asked the children to "remember the names of all the teachers in the school quickly" and say hello when they met, but at the same time, they did not forget to emphasize that there was a "no talking" discipline at that time, except when waiting in line. Teacher Clark hopes that students can cultivate good social habits so that they can "get to know their colleagues or neighbors on their own initiative" and "try to be friendly and polite to others."
24. Pay attention to the hygiene of the bathroom and minimize the germs around you;
In this class, Mr. Clark asked the students: You must flush the toilet. If the toilet is dirty, put toilet paper on the button. "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you." If you don't want to use a dirty urinal, you must flush your used urinal.
25. Make guests feel at home;
"If someone wants to visit our classroom, I will send two students to wait in front of the teaching building, holding a welcome sign. When our guests arrive, the receptionist should shake hands with them, introduce herself to them and give a welcome speech. Then, before taking them into the classroom, show them a brief tour of the campus. "
26. Don't help classmates occupy seats;
If someone wants to sit next to you, let him sit, and don't deliberately exclude anyone. "As a big family, we should treat and respect others in a friendly way."
Teacher Clark hates to see children isolated, and opposes children always sitting in the same position or deliberately occupying seats. Teacher Clark teaches children, "They must make sure that they and their friends know how to tolerate others and try to accept others to participate in their activities."
27. When your classmate is punished, don't look at him;
"In order to avoid embarrassment and anger caused by public display, I want to make sure that children understand and abide by this rule." I don't do anything to hurt people when they are down, but I will still say, "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you."
28. For homework problems, you can call my home. If I don't answer, you can leave a message, but only once. In order to keep closer contact with the students, Mr. Clark announced his telephone number to the students.

30. After eating, dispose of the garbage yourself;
Mr. Clark asked his students to clear the table after dinner, pick up what fell on the ground and throw it into the dustbin, and check whether there is rubbish around the dustbin and clean it up. Teacher Clark also asks children to pick up other people's litters, and often rewards children who pick up rubbish, and often announces children who don't pick up rubbish. It took a year to basically cultivate a class of children.
3 1. Accept other people's services and cherish their blessings;
32. Sit in the car and don't disturb the driver;

34. Eat buffet, or sit at the same table with others, don't be greedy;
"Don't eat more food than you actually need." "Because this will not only cause waste, but also disrespect others if you don't leave enough for others." After seeing the mountains of food on the children's plates, Mr. Clark asked the children that "the area covered by food should not exceed three quarters, and no other food should be piled on one food."
35. If someone drops something, please bend down and help him pick it up.
36. When entering the door, if someone is behind, please ask him to hold the door;
If you need to pull when opening the door, you can open the door, stand aside by yourself, let others pass first, and then you can walk by yourself; If you need to push the door when you open it, hold the door with your hand after you leave. Don't let go as long as there is someone behind you. Teacher Clark believes that teaching children some small acts of kindness, although seemingly insignificant, is of great benefit to children in understanding how to respect and value others. Teacher Clark pays great attention to details when teaching children, such as where to stand when holding the door, how long to hold it, what to say and so on.
37. When someone meets you, say sorry, whether it is wrong or not;
Teacher Clark said: In school, a slight collision can also lead to the outbreak of World War III. Miss Clark attaches great importance to manners. Before the children boarded the plane, he personally arranged the chairs in the classroom like the aisle of the plane to train the children.
38. When teaching as a foreign teacher at school, be quiet wherever you go;

39. When visiting other people's places, don't hesitate to praise;
This seems to be a kind of respect for the host, and if it becomes a habit, it may also form an optimistic attitude towards life. Teacher Clark thinks that children should have such manners, so she specially trained in this field before going out, that is, to seize extracurricular opportunities to cultivate children.
40. Don't talk when all the teachers and students gather;
Our teacher also attaches great importance to discipline and often emphasizes it. Interestingly, in order to let the students know how to observe discipline, Mr. Clark called the students to the auditorium, sat down, put their hands on their thighs and looked ahead. Then, Mr. Clark kept appearing in various positions in the auditorium, calling the students' names and trying to harass the children to see which one violated the discipline. Lively and interesting, with good intentions.
4 1. Speak appropriately when answering the phone;
42. At the end of a trip to teach outside the school, I want to thank all the teachers and parents who accompanied me;

43. When taking the elevator, stand on the right, please hurry to the left;
Clark teaches children to "stand on the right side of the escalator and walk on the left" and "before entering the elevator, subway or underground passage, people who go out must be polite first."
44. Don't talk when marching in procession;
On the first day of work, Mr. Clark managed an undisciplined class. Mr. Clark asked the children to keep order and quiet while waiting in line for dinner. If one child says one more word, the whole class will wait 1 minute. As a result, after 45 minutes of collective waiting, the children lined up neatly and quietly to enter the canteen. In Mr Clark's words, the headmaster stood at the door and "looked at us in a daze in surprise".
"Some people may say that this is a bit too militarized, but I think children actually like to queue up like this, and they will be proud that they can make the team look so good."
Miss Clark asked the children to line up to open the door. "One team near the wall goes first, and the other team will stand up straight in the middle of the hall, waiting for my command. Then I will say, "Everyone is ready … Let's go! "All children will immediately step across their right legs and lean against the wall like a complete whole. Seeing children acting in unison at the same time will give people a feeling that it is "cool!" Then I gave the order: "Enter! "They went in neatly."
45. Don't cut in line, but don't shout when you see others cutting in line, just let the teacher know; "If someone walks up to you, don't say a word, just let me know and I'll take care of it.

When resolving any disputes between classmates, you should come to me with your questions before dealing with them yourself. "
46. Don't talk while watching movies;

I told them that telling the truth is very important, because it can win the respect and trust of others, and these two honors will accompany you for a lifetime. "
