For many people who love food and want to learn from chefs, there is always such a question in their hearts. Can't you learn from the chef without a little cooking foundation? Can you learn? With this question, the author came to new oriental cooking College, the largest chef school in Southwest China, to solve the problem for everyone.
In the cultivation of chefs, teaching plays a leading role in cooking learning. Shenzhen New Oriental continues to explore, reform and improve the teaching mode, and the teaching mode of "integration of theory and practice" plus regular assessment ensures that every student can learn well and learn well! For students who don't have any foundation, the school will focus on basic cooking training such as turning pots and knives three months before students enter school. Only by passing the exam can they enter the next stage of their study.
After three months' careful practice, students' skills of knife cutting and pot turning can meet the employment standards of the industry. Students can use different knife conveying methods according to the different properties of raw materials (brittle, soft, tough, old and hard) to cut raw materials into blocks, dices, granules, chips, strips, silk, shreds, velvet and other materials with smooth cross sections. The block is clear, the slice is as thin as yarn, and the silk can be worn. The turning technique can fully meet the requirements of cooking on the stove.
2. Basic knowledge of chefs
Cooking is a road of trial and error. How to stir-fry the delicious food in your heart is the mystery that every chef has been exploring.
In the eyes of chefs, creating unparalleled delicacies and satisfying every diners with the highest level of cooking are their inexhaustible motivation to become chefs. How to become a chef requires a chef to know the basic knowledge, skills and precautions of cooking.
As the saying goes, there are 1000 cooking methods for 1000 kinds of dishes, which shows that there are many requirements for cooking, and chefs need to constantly learn and summarize and find a cooking method that suits them. Sometimes cooking is for beauty, and sometimes cooking is for nutrition. An excellent chef can naturally do these two things.
Stir-frying is the most widely used cooking method. Raw stir-fry, cooked stir-fry, soft stir-fry and dry stir-fry represent the changes of an era. Modern catering industry not only requires chefs to have good skills in traditional crafts such as knife work and spoon work, but also requires chefs to have certain knowledge in cost control, menu making and kitchen management.
A chef who doesn't want to be a boss is a chef without dreams, and a chef who doesn't want to be a chef is a chef without goals. These knowledge and skills are all necessary skills for modern chefs. In Chengdu New Oriental cooking school, cooking is a compulsory course for students every day. From daily practice, they can be aware of their progress.
From the initial heavy oil and salt, slowly understand the secret of cooking and master it.
3. New Oriental IELTS teacher interview
The process and skills of interviewing new oriental teachers first, the positioning of teachers; Second, accumulate course content; Third, organize the course content.
(Only on behalf of my personal opinion) In the past, I also came into contact with many big people in New Oriental, belonging to the same department. Their personal lecture level is excellent, such as,, Ni, He Nan, etc. Although they have left New Oriental one after another, they still have the grace of New Oriental teachers. I learned from them that you can apply for a job by doing three things well. To do these three things well, the first one is easy, and the second one is difficult. I think it is very difficult.
(1) Teacher orientation: To engage in any profession, we must first position ourselves. In addition to the teaching environment, exam-oriented teaching has three elements: examination, teachers and students.
In the final analysis, the course of New Oriental is to let students pass the exam and pursue higher goals, so the teacher plays a bridge role between students and exams. In the word education, the root of -duc- in the middle is "guidance" and the prefix e- means "outward", so education is the process of stimulating people's inner potential and making people reach their original unattainable goals.
American journalist William Allen White said that in education, we try to teach students not to make a living, but to create a life. In education, we should not only teach students how to make a living, but also teach them how to live. If training solves the problem of "skill", then education solves the problem of "Tao".
The reason why the curriculum in New Oriental is not only training, but also education is that it can convey more life information on the basis of helping students pass the exam, such as a positive and sunny attitude towards life, an indomitable New Oriental inspirational spirit in the face of setbacks, and various common sense of life. The so-called avenue to Jane, doing everything well is the same.
To do a good job, the simplest competitive advantage is to know it better than others and know every detail of the business. To be a good teacher in New Oriental is to know the three elements of teaching: examination, teacher and student.
For the exam, we have to … 1) go through many exams. Do more questions when you are free, whether it is a simulation question or a real question, and practice more to improve the sensitivity of studying exams.
2) Collect the information of all exam-related subjects. After all, we are not very old for some fine knowledge, so compared with teachers in public schools, our advantages do not occupy a position, so we need to accumulate more advantages in this respect.
3) Do all the exam questions. Many exercises every year need to be carefully studied and repeated several times to sum up the rules of the exam.
Many teachers can recite lessons, but they can't prepare lessons. Many things can be memorized. For many years, the college entrance examination questions have been memorized. 4) tolerate uncertainty (don't be poor for a remote test center, but focus on the most useful part for most students).
5) Understand related subjects. For the teachers themselves, it is necessary to … 1) analyze the difficulties and mistakes in doing their own problems.
2) Extremely specific problem-solving and review steps. For students, we need to know … 1) What are the students' goals, levels and learning abilities? 2) Students' difficulties and mistakes in solving problems.
3) Students' excitement. 4) What is the sense of classroom achievement that students feel? 5) What are the actual test results after class? The biggest problem our new teachers encounter is that they don't understand the needs of students. We should fully put ourselves in the other's shoes, that is, try on students' shoes. For example, when we are students, we don't take notes, or we don't do it at all, or we are crazy and do everything; I think when I was in high school, I didn't want to take notes, and the teacher couldn't help it.
When I went to college, I felt that I was taking notes in every class, full of textbooks. At that time, I was afraid of failing the class, but to be honest, I wouldn't. I want to deceive myself. When I was a student, I also hoped that teachers could provide more help, such as correcting my composition. In addition, new teachers can carefully figure out how other teachers' courses meet the needs of students, and quickly make up this lesson in their previous rounds of teaching.
(2) Accumulate the course content: I remember that in 2009, Liang Huanzhen, now the president of Xinjiang New Oriental. Lao Liang used to say in training that you should learn things by heart and express them fluently on any occasion. The essence of New Oriental exam-oriented curriculum is to provide students with an overall solution to the exam.
This problem-solving system is better to be deductive rather than inductive (deductive > inductive), because the deductive system has a reasoning basis, and as long as the foundation is fine, the conclusion is fine; Moreover, the summarized system often has counterexamples, even if it does not exist now, it may exist in the future. The process of preparing lessons for New Oriental teachers is actually a process of constantly improving the system.
The exam-oriented curriculum system should include four elements, referred to as passing. The four elements will still play a very important role if the country does not cancel the examination.
P: Review the plan, review the plan, what students need most is actually, what should I do? If you don't give him a plan, he will be blind and don't know how to learn. A: Ability: the necessary knowledge for the exam.
At present, the general education in New Oriental is very powerful, so teachers in all subjects have their own teaching fields and characteristics to impart their own knowledge. S: Skills: Skills to improve test scores in a short time.
This is what New Oriental teachers are good at, because they study these materials all day. Emotional stimulation, knowledge, skills and review plan are useless, but also let students study comfortably, lose their way, be discouraged and encouraged, and be proud of it. It is very important to be humanized when they are tired.
So many classmates will say that the teacher is very happy in your class and can learn a lot. It seems complicated. In fact, as long as we stand on the shoulders of the giant New Oriental and then break down the big problems into small ones, the problems will be solved one by one.
The first step in preparing lessons is to collect information sources or teaching materials. After years of development, New Oriental no longer needs new teachers to explore the basic curriculum system. It's like the professionalization of sports. At first, it was based on the talent of athletes, and later it was organized by sports teams. Now New Oriental has introduced standardized products.

4. How to learn from the successful management of New Oriental?
Why can New Oriental succeed? This is a matter of opinion.
The author thinks that the success of New Oriental is not only the success of educational concept, but also the success of management. The "secret" lies in putting students first, "training teachers with high salaries" and introducing standardized and advanced enterprise management systems.
More than 6 million students have been trained. As of May 3, 2006, there were 25 schools, 1 1 learning center and 13 bookstore, accounting for more than 50% of the national English training market. On September 7, 2006, it became the first educational enterprise listed in the United States in the world. Looking back/kloc-0.5 years ago, when Mr. and Mrs. Yu posted "small advertisements" along roadside telephone poles in the cold wind, I am afraid that few people, including the founder of New Oriental, could imagine the future glory of this small English training class ... As a bystander, of course, there is no unforgettable personal experience of the participants, but sometimes they may see it more clearly. From reading Lu Yuegang's "Oriental Carriage-Legend from Peking University to New Oriental" to paying attention to the wonderful comments of the judges in CCTV's "Winning in China" column, the author, like countless people who silently care about New Oriental, is full of interest in this "product of China's educational failure" (one of the founders of New Oriental).
Some commentators said: "Compared with the New Oriental Group, which has achieved amazing development, should many public universities, especially some' prestigious schools' that have received a lot of support from the state and enjoy various preferential resources, reflect?" So, what is the reason for the success of New Oriental? On March 28th, 2008, the chairman of New Oriental Education Technology Group visited Sina. Com, he once summed himself up like this. First, the most important person in the school, that is, the founder or manager, must first have a sense of mission. This sense of mission is definitely not how much money I want to invest, how to earn money, how to go public abroad, but how I can give my students a sense of satisfaction through the improvement of teaching quality after my students come in. Second, any educational institution is the product of cultural cohesion. If we just combine several institutions and buy one today and one the day after tomorrow, we will end up in a very bad situation: it looks like an educational institution, but everyone is twisted together, and there is no unified culture and concept, so it will not last long.
Third, we should look at education from a longer-term perspective and have enough patience. Without ten years' education, people will not recognize your brand. Such a summary is not brilliant, but it may lack immediate reference.
Although some experts say that New Oriental is "unrepeatable", it is mainly about its development path and financing means. Judging from the management system, the school must have other educational institutions to learn from, otherwise New Oriental will not become a bubble. Based on this, on the basis of long-term observation, the author finds out three inspirations for the success of New Oriental: students first, paying attention to talents and enterprise management. Students first: change the slogan to the system "All for students, all for students". Today, this slogan can be seen in almost all kinds of schools in China, but realistically, it is rarely implemented.
Perhaps, the large-scale collapse of school buildings in the Sichuan earthquake is an example ... On the other hand, New Oriental has always put students first since its establishment. In Yu's words, "You should meet the needs of students and even improve their needs. For example, the student originally wanted to drink a glass of water, but after your teaching, he finally wanted to drink two glasses of water, and his dreams and ideals were improved. I think this is a sense of mission in education. "
In fact, respecting and serving students is probably the * * * knowledge of private education institutions in China now, because without students, these institutions will have to close down! Comparatively speaking, life in public educational institutions is much more comfortable. Have you noticed that some local colleges and universities have failed to recruit students for various reasons, and even been "red-flagged" by the education authorities, but even if the teachers have no classes, they still "deserve a lot". Just imagine, how can this system of drought and flood protection arouse their sense of crisis and motivation to serve students? In recent years, the employment of college students has become a difficult problem that puzzles the whole society. There are various reasons for this. However, if we evaluate objectively, we will find that the rigid professional settings and scripted teaching methods in some universities are seriously out of touch with social needs.
Students come to school to study. If what they learn is useless, what is it from the school? From this point of view, New Oriental's "professional setting" and "classroom teaching" are closely around the actual needs of students, from the earliest TOEFL and IELTS to the later CET-4 and CET-6 exam training, children's English enlightenment, and even the outstanding vocational education center ... If these training courses are not set for the actual needs of society and market, will anyone sign up for these training courses? If the learning effect is not good, will everyone still flock? Secondly, in the classroom teaching, the teachers of New Oriental take great pains to make students of different ages and identities listen attentively. Everyone who has participated in the training of New Oriental has a deep understanding of this point: on the surface, it is rich English knowledge and test-taking skills, and once again it is a humorous and relaxed classroom atmosphere, which finally affects the new Oriental spirit of "looking for hope in despair and creating new glory in life" for almost a generation.
Pay attention to talents: This year marks the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up, and all walks of life are carrying out various forms of retrospective activities. And "respecting science and talents" was once a famous policy in the process of reform, which influenced a generation of intellectuals in science and education and rejuvenated them.
However, respecting talents or attaching importance to talents must be implemented in order to play its due role. Many units used to have a jingle: treat people with things, leave feelings for people, and leave a career for people.
That's good, but how much can you actually do? Taking the school as an example, we all know that excellent teachers are the precious wealth of the school. However, during the Teacher's Day every year, according to the "complaint posts" on the treatment issues published by teachers at all levels on major websites, teaching is conducted.
