Original title (Paying attention to the development of people and cultivating "useful people in the future" by "being suitable for teaching" —— An interview with Deng Hong, the headmaster of Chongqing No.7 Middle School, on the headmaster's thought)
Keywords: education orientation
Principal's point of view: The essence of school education is educating people. It is a great progress from focusing on grades to focusing on literacy and focusing on students' core literacy and key abilities, which educators expect to see. We should pay attention to the connotation of literacy, the essential qualities and key abilities of people's own development and social needs.
Principal's thought interview group: In your opinion, what is the significance of putting forward "core literacy" for the educational reform and development of your school?
Deng Hong: It is good news that core literacy guides us to adjust the direction of education reform from the national strategic level. As far as school education is concerned, the proposal of core literacy forces us to have a new thinking: does the school's philosophy, school-running objectives and supporting courses, as well as specific education, teaching and management behaviors correspond, coordinate and promote core literacy? To some extent, core literacy has become the origin of the construction of school education and teaching system and the "goal" or reference for systematically sorting out and improving school curriculum (in a broad sense), which is strategic and overall.
Keywords: respect for individuals
Principal's point of view: Every student is unique. It is the essence of school education to pay attention to the development of each student, find the meeting point between personal growth needs and social development needs, and provide everyone with the opportunity to shine in life.
Principal's thought interview group: Under the concept of "future education", the school has been striving to implement quality education with independent moral education as the core and practical ability and innovative spirit as the focus. What do you think is the internal relationship between this and core literacy?
Deng Hong: Core literacy is a comprehensive concept of knowledge, ability and attitude, which refers to people, people with all-round development, people in the future and people needed by the future society. The school-running concept of "educating people for the future and educating people for the future" is the school-based expression and action of core literacy, which is specific to the educational goal of "humanistic literacy, scientific spirit, strong physique and sound personality", and then to independent moral education and innovative practice. Therefore, "future education" and core literacy are inextricably linked in positioning and connotation. This is a fit, but also a * * * and value orientation.
Keywords: Multi-curriculum
Principal's point of view: the core literacy should focus on the school curriculum. At present, school curriculum is its main grip and important carrier. What kind of courses can incubate what kind of talents, and what kind of courses can show what kind of school-running characteristics.
Interview group of "Principal's Thought": What aspects do you think need to be paid attention to most?
Deng Hong: The implementation of core literacy needs curriculum construction, teacher training and management evaluation. At present, school curriculum is its main grip and important carrier. What kind of courses can cultivate what kind of talents, and what kind of courses can show what kind of school-running characteristics.
On the basis of implementing the national curriculum standards, the school strives to explore the school-based implementation of the national curriculum and implant the traditional culture, characteristics and advantages of the school into the curriculum. To this end, we have established the concept of "curriculum reform and system construction based on core literacy", and based on the two-level curriculum innovation bases in urban areas, we have created four business cards, namely, happy moral education, campus football, geographical base and scientific and technological innovation, and focused on building five types of courses, including hierarchical courses, elective courses, career courses and comprehensive courses.
Keywords: "Suitable for education"
Principal's point of view: Class teaching allows students of different levels to find the most suitable subject courses on the basis of their existing studies, and then find confidence and happiness in learning. This is the "suitable education" that we advocate.
Interview group of "The President's Thought": What considerations and measures does the school have in curriculum reform?
Deng Hong: Curriculum reform is a gradual process. As early as 20 1 1, we tried to implement class teaching in senior high school, which is also the "suitable education" we advocated. Secondly, in sports, art or other subjects, we take the option of elective courses or elective courses, so that students can choose the projects they are most interested in. At present, this choice is the right direction. The children are moving, their interest is improving, their ability is growing, and the professional growth of teachers is also being forced.
Keywords: open schools
Principal's point of view: school education must be combined with family education, social education (or community education) and self-education. Schools should be open and social participation is an essential part of school education. Without social participation, the cultivation of responsibility and responsibility, interpersonal communication and communication skills may be greatly reduced.
Principal's thought interview group: please talk about your school's thinking on the diversified growth of students from the aspects of core literacy and student growth.
Deng Hong: Schools should be open, and social participation is an essential part of school education. Without social participation, the cultivation of responsibility and responsibility, interpersonal communication and communication skills may be greatly reduced.
In 20 17, I was deeply impressed by two special students in our school. One is Liu Hengyang who was admitted to Tsinghua, and the other is Han Yucheng who was admitted to Peking University. When they were studying at school, they were ordinary, not even excellent. But less than a year in college, I am very grateful and nostalgic for my high school experience, management, guidance and training of the school, and participation and experience of activities inside and outside the school.
In 20 15, the school became the first batch of high school geography curriculum innovation bases in Chongqing. The establishment of the base for more than two years has provided rich conditions for the common development of teachers and students. It is worth mentioning that, under the leadership of teachers such as Chen Daohua, students began to go out of the classroom, go to nature and enter the society, and go to Wansheng Black Valley, ciqikou ancient town and other places for field trips and research experiences. The activity also attracted like-minded teachers and students from Nankai and Yucai.
Now, the state proposes to incorporate comprehensive practical activities into the compulsory courses of senior high schools, which should be said to be very conducive to promoting and upgrading students' core literacy.
Keywords: attention to human development
Principal's point of view: running a school is a long process. As managers and participants, we must always be sober and calm, and we must not be impetuous, utilitarian and short-sighted.
Interview group of "The President's Thought": 20 18, which is the 260th anniversary of the establishment of Chongqing No.7 Middle School. From academy to school, Chongqing No.7 Middle School has a long history of running a school and excellent traditional culture. As the principal, can you talk about the historical heritage and vision of the school?
Deng Hong: How time flies. I have worked in No.7 Middle School for 10 years. As a principal, I have many expectations for this school. The school is in the fifth five-year plan to create a famous school development strategy. Our theme is: high quality and diversity, transformation and development.
High quality is the most basic quality of a century-old prestigious school and a model school, and it is also an important factor to satisfy the people's thirst for educational resources. It is very important to get a high score in the college entrance examination to a famous university, but quality is not just a dimension. One more ruler will bring a large number of excellent students. Therefore, we advocate a diversified and multi-level education model and strive to cultivate future useful people with humanistic quality, scientific spirit, strong physique and sound personality.
The development of education changes with each passing day. As a school, especially a century-old prestigious school, we must keep pace with the times. No matter managers, principals or teachers, we must first change the concepts of education, talents and our students. What the core literacy mentioned should not only pay attention to scores, but also pay attention to people and their development. Educating people is the first priority of education.
Running a school is a long process. As managers and participants, we must always be sober and calm, and we must not be impetuous, utilitarian and short-sighted. The concept of "future education" has pointed out the direction for us, and the school will develop in this direction step by step.
