U characteristic campus, art campus-campus culture and art festival
Eight years ago, with the aim of enriching campus cultural life, cultivating students' innovative consciousness and practical ability, comprehensively promoting quality education, and striving to cultivate all-round qualified talents, the school decided to hold a campus culture and art festival every two years. In June 2003, the 4th Campus Culture and Art Festival was held. The festival has new developments and new contents every year.
Students have been attending a grand art festival since September. Look, they are all full of energy: in the sketch competition, they squinted at the scale and drew carefully; Clay sculpture students "bared their teeth and claws" waved the mud in their hands, and rabbits, kittens and puppies came alive; Players of comprehensive materials use waste paper to make Shenwu and Wild House; The rhythmic gymnastics performance is even more refreshing, and the neat pace and bodybuilding dance make everyone intoxicated. Kite flying, calligraphy and painting exhibition, art and discipline integration observation class, hard pen calligraphy competition attended by all students, etc. There are wonderful activities and a full and wonderful life.
The two-month closing ceremony was simple and grand. The leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau delivered a warm speech, which further affirmed and encouraged the school's characteristic way of running schools. More than 100 people attended the closing ceremony, including leaders of the Municipal Youth League Committee, leaders of the town government, veterans of calligraphy and painting education, leaders of Xinhua Ai Xin Senior High School, Teachers' Training School, Youth Palace, parents' representatives of brother primary schools and schools, and retired teachers, and watched the subsequent art report performance with great interest.
Our art festival is only four years old. With the careful care of all walks of life and the selfless nourishment of sunshine and rain, our flower of art will thrive.
U artistic comprehensive innovation practice activities
The practical activity of artistic comprehensive innovation, formerly known as artistic comprehensive innovation, has always been an important activity of characteristic quality education in art primary schools, which is deeply loved by students and has been held for three consecutive times in the whole school.
Students' creative thinking and expression are very different in creation and performance, giving full play to children's unique personality. Such as "fishing":
The fishermen caught big fish through their own efforts (knocking on the ice to find fresh bait) in the snowstorm.
● In the huge waves, a fishing boat fluctuated on the waves and was unfortunately swallowed up by a sea fish. As a result, the fisherman and the boat rowed out of the fish's tail together, and because the sea fish were too tired to carry the fisherman and the boat, they became the fishermen's prey. Imagination is strange, bold and humorous, exaggerated, and extremely artistic.
Humorous fisherman, fishing without bait ... no fishing gear, just carrying a small bucket to fish ... fishing without any equipment, but catching a big fish. The whole performance was full of laughter, which was vividly portrayed by a humorous and forgetful fisherman.
In May, 2004, the fourth art comprehensive innovation practice activity was held in the multimedia classroom of the school. Six senior teams participated in the first round of competition. After more than a month of preparation and rehearsal, all the students are full of confidence. The first appearance was "Fighting SARS" by Class 5 (1). The little actor imitated the war of bacteria in the human body, showed the horror of SARS and everyone's efforts to fight SARS, which attracted everyone's attention at once. The following programs are also wonderful, with laughter and praise from the scene. The judges and teachers also nodded again and again, each with a high score.
The practice of artistic comprehensive innovation is similar to "super-change", with plots and stories, but it mainly depends on students' innovative ability. Judging from the effect of the activity, the students enjoyed it very much.
U "Yihua Cup" First Instrumental TV Competition
The school has always attached importance to art education. After making some achievements in the characteristics of calligraphy and painting, it further broadened the field of art education, and developed in the direction of rhythmic gymnastics, comprehensive practice, artistic innovation activities, instrumental music performance, etc., and hired famous teachers inside and outside the school to guide it. In order to further promote art education and test the achievements of art education, the school held the first "Yihua Cup" children's instrumental music competition, which was broadcast live by Rainbow TV. Listen, the flute is graceful and smooth, light and elegant, full of Jiangnan silk and bamboo customs; The melodious and cheerful pipa is combined with the deep and euphemistic piano, and the simple and elegant erhu and the passionate trumpet set each other off. Beautiful tunes are sometimes exciting and sometimes lyrical, which makes people seem to have come to the green grassland and seen the galloping horse; For a while, it seemed to fly in the boundless ocean, listening to the singing of the waves. Some of these young players who love art have studied for five or six years, while others are only in the first grade. They study hard, master the real skills, and fully display their talents on the art stage provided by the school, which makes people feel that they have entered a concert.
The instrumental music competition embodies the rich campus culture of the school and shows the positive spirit of the school students, which will further mobilize the enthusiasm of students to become special students in the school and play a positive role in promoting the cultural quality and aesthetic cultivation of art pupils.
U school-based curriculum.
The new curriculum standard puts forward that the curriculum is divided into three levels of management. In order to further implement the education priority development strategy put forward by the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the spirit of the State Council's Decision on the Reform and Development of Basic Education, we should do a good job in the experimental work of new basic education courses, comprehensively promote quality education, improve the quality of education, and lay a foundation for students' lifelong development. According to the accumulated experience of implementing quality education in recent years and considering the needs of students' diversification, comprehensiveness and sustainable development, we decided to set up a school-based curriculum with "comprehensive artistic innovation practice" as the core to further enhance the school-running characteristics.
Our school-based curriculum takes "comprehensive artistic innovation practice" as the core and radiates to calligraphy, painting, writing, science and technology and other fields. With practical characteristics, it is a further extension of the school's characteristic painting and calligraphy teaching. It can develop and cultivate students' interests, embody the integration, continuation and supplement of new basic courses and school-based courses, and cultivate students' various qualities and abilities.
School-based Curriculum Timetable Since February 2004, a leading group for school-based curriculum development has been established, which is responsible for learning relevant school-based curriculum theories and collecting relevant materials. From April to June, 2004, on the basis of investigation and study, the research focus of school-based curriculum was determined and the development plan and plan of school-based curriculum were drawn up. From July to August, 2004, some teachers were organized to compile relevant materials in different categories; In September, 2004, collecting materials, compiling and publishing the school-based textbook "Comprehensive Art Innovation Practice"; From June 2004 to June 2005, the school-based curriculum was implemented and gradually improved.
The class hours of school-based courses are arranged as 1-2 class hours per week, with the combination of centralized use and decentralized use, and the combination of disciplines. Group activities, individual activities, class activities or community activities can be adopted according to specific conditions.
The school employs teachers with special skills as full-time teachers, experts from relevant departments and parents of students as off-campus counselors according to the needs of activities, and conducts formative evaluation on students and teachers. In particular, teachers' guidance should be included in the workload and work performance should be assessed.
Second, untie teachers, optimize teaching evaluation and make teaching distinctive.
1: Encourage teachers to take the initiative to participate from the demand.
In the early days of educational science research, to be honest, we were excluded. We believe that education and scientific research are experts, and teachers should do their job well-just teach books and take students well. In the great wave of curriculum reform, we feel more and more deeply that the professionalization of teachers needs to be based on teaching and scientific research. Insufficient theoretical level, practical experience can not be improved.
To this end, we actively organize teachers to study the theory of curriculum reform education, seriously participate in various training and seminars at all levels, study the advantages of curriculum reform in brother schools, go out, please come in, regularly invite relevant experts and scholars to give academic reports to the school, and hold special lectures on teachers' new curriculum education and scientific research. Mr. Wu Yingqiang, director of the Municipal Institute of Education, is specially invited to come to the school to introduce the information of educational reform and educational research, guide the research of the subject and write the paper, so that every teacher can understand it systematically.
The 35-year-old young teachers in this school account for more than 70% of the teachers in the school. In order to better help and guide young teachers to take the road of professional growth, at the beginning of the 2003 school year (August 2003), the school issued a growth plan for young teachers. The young teachers in the whole school make a feasible growth plan according to their own reality, which consists of teaching and research, teaching and education. Then, young teachers make progress in their studies, improve in their progress, bravely climb the peak, strive to become famous teachers, academic leaders and even educational experts as soon as possible, and strive for the development of art primary schools.
On July 4th, 2004, young teachers were divided into two groups, and a stage reflection forum on young teachers' professional growth plan was held.
At the symposium, young teachers summarized their achievements in their respective posts in the past year against the growth plan, reflected on their own goals and unmet goals this semester and their reasons, and made a goal outlook and measures for the next stage of work after overall reflection. Through self-reflection, I re-examined my work in the past year, especially in the cultivation of my own characteristics. At the same time, through communication and peer interaction, young teachers can see their own advantages, make themselves more confident, find their own shortcomings, and make themselves work harder, so as to strive for first-class teaching and first-class management.
The school is happy with the achievements made by young teachers, and points out that it is normal to find their regrets in reflection. It is precious to see your own shortcomings, but it is a pity not to see your own shortcomings. I hope that young people should first be dedicated and love education. As long as you are dedicated, you will have a high level. Secondly, we should study and build a learning school. Only by studying can we have a high level. Only with a high level and a high level can we become competent people's teachers who can hold up the hope of the motherland. I hope every young teacher can better interpret "give students the best childhood and give life the most solid start!" (Appeared in the eighth issue of the school magazine "Yihua")
When the curriculum reform becomes the need of teachers' own work and professional development, teachers' initiative will be actively shown in the curriculum reform. In the past two or three years, the school has published more than 30 papers and won more than 60 first, second and third prizes above the municipal level; In the province, 48 famous teachers in the school have 45 projects at or above the municipal level, more than 20 projects have been completed, and more than 10 has won awards at or above the municipal level.
2. Take activities as a platform to build a stage for teachers to show.
In recent years, at the beginning of school, as a teacher, while spreading out teaching reference books and lesson plans, I quickly copied lesson plans to cope with the school preparation examination, while chatting and listening to songs with relish. Reflection after class, write a sentence after each class, generally speaking: this text is very good, and students speak enthusiastically. This kind of preparation and reflection for examination not only takes up a lot of teachers' time, but also hinders the development of teachers' personality and creativity.
In view of this situation, the school explores how to give full play to teachers' subjective initiative in curriculum reform. We believe that the excellent lesson plans on the Internet can indeed be used as a good resource for * * * *, and put forward the inspection idea of "preparing lessons can be enjoyed, with characteristics in class and reflection in class", that is, teachers can refer to preparing lessons online and get inspiration from their peers, but they must create their own characteristics in class, reflect in time after class, reflect deeply, and actively organize some activities to build a display stage for teachers with activities as a platform.
U competition for young teachers to prepare lessons and tell lessons.
The competition for young teachers to prepare lessons and tell lessons is divided into two stages. Last semester, we held a lesson preparation and lecture contest for Chinese and math subjects. There will be lesson preparation and lecture competitions for other (skill) subjects in the second half of the semester. The contest adopts the form of on-site designated content to prepare lessons, and all teachers give speeches on their own preparation process and design concept, and conduct on-site class evaluation.
The unique teaching arrangement and novel design concept make all teachers deeply feel the great potential of our young teachers: we should not only grasp the new curriculum concept well, but also use and innovate, grasp the students' reality, design the teaching process that meets the students' psychological requirements, choose the teaching methods suitable for the students' reality, highlight the students' dominant position in learning, give full play to their specialties and develop their personality. The application of teaching methods is diverse and vivid, and the classroom design is open and democratic, which provides a broader space for students to learn, think and innovate, and builds a broader platform for students to express and exercise their abilities.
The appraisal results are as follows: Zhou Pingquan, Yu Jing and Wang won the first prizes in Chinese, mathematics and other subjects.
U "New Idea, New Classroom" Teaching Competition.
The "New Idea, New Classroom" teaching competition throughout the whole school year is even more grand and lively.
In order to further practice the new curriculum reform, two "New Ideas, New Classrooms" teaching competitions were held last semester and next semester respectively.
New courses and new ideas will inevitably produce new classrooms. The two courses last for more than a month, the first semester is longer, almost throughout the whole semester, and the second semester lasts from March 22 to the end of May. Classes cover a wide range: Chinese, mathematics, music, fine arts, physical education, English, science, and comprehensive activity classes, with more than 30 classes per semester.
The school actively explores classroom teaching under the new curriculum standard and makes full preparations. The classroom atmosphere of "you say, I say, everyone says" allows students to think positively, dare to explore, dare to ask questions, enjoy happiness and beauty, give students the opportunity to learn to choose and develop their potential, and then give teachers the opportunity to accept the challenges of students, generate courses, and give teachers the opportunity to create and realize the value of life.
U "Walk into the new classroom with the children" half-day open day for parents.
In order to further explore and improve the school-running mode of parents' schools and cultivate the next generation with high literacy, all our first-grade parents have entered the new curriculum. "Take the children into the new classroom" half-day parents' open day was held in hot June.
The activity is divided into three days, besides Chinese and mathematics, there are also art classes and parent-child classes. During the activity, parents sat in the classroom on time, listened carefully and actively participated, as if they had returned to the first-grade classroom for a few hours and returned to a carefree childhood.
A week after the activity, the feedback from parents' school homework-lectures has been handed in one after another. Every parent and student wrote down their own experience of growing up with their children in the new curriculum, and expressed heartfelt thanks to the parents' school for popularizing family education knowledge in time, passing on the new curriculum education theory to parents and further coordinating the parent-child relationship. The half-day parents' open day also promoted the overall development of the school, the improvement of teachers' education and teaching level, and the communication between teachers and parents.
Intercollegiate Friendship Activities of "Communication and Discussion in Open Class of New Curriculum Standard"
On the morning of April 1, the school joined hands with Xindai Primary School and Zhongdai Primary School to participate in the "Exchange and Seminar of New Curriculum Standard Open Class", which officially kicked off in Xindai Primary School. Six young teachers from three schools brought their carefully prepared courses to more than 100 teachers in nine townships, including five new curriculum subjects, such as Chinese, mathematics, thinking, music and art. After class, they also conducted on-site lectures and evaluations. Relevant leaders of the Municipal Education Bureau, teaching and research section and teaching institute also took part in this activity in the rain. Deputy Director Zhang Hongyan and Director Wang Aimin spoke highly of this activity of urban-rural contact and urban-rural discussion. They also put forward valuable opinions to several young teachers, encouraging them to continue to study the requirements of new curriculum standards and educational objectives, and truly make progress with each other.
U monthly analysis of experimental teachers.
In order to study, practice and reflect better, our experimental teacher holds a monthly analysis meeting once a month. The content of each issue focuses on, such as school-based research, curriculum resources development, comprehensive practice and so on. The form is different, sometimes it is experience, sometimes it is case analysis or essay, or it is teaching material analysis, scheme design, etc. We arranged the last monthly analysis exchange in the 2003 school year in front of all the teachers. After listening carefully to the exchange of experimental experience of the experimental teachers, all the teachers really felt the hard work of the experimental teachers and left a deep impression on their serious and responsible attitude and diligent study.
The activity set up a broad stage for the teachers. In recent years, especially this year, many teachers have gradually formed their own teaching characteristics through repeated practice and reflection. For example, Zhou Pingquan's Chinese class has greatly improved his humanistic spirit and value orientation; Teacher Hu has made some achievements in composition; Mr. Zhong's class is always full of vigor and vitality; Teacher Jiang's class pays great attention to the development of thinking.
Three: give children freedom, explore independently, and let students have special skills.
U life education with "theme generation" as the main line.
The practice and research of generative life education, one of the key topics in Jiaxing, holds that teachers are life, students are life, schools are life, and society and the earth are life. The relationship between life and life is equal, and the education of life is blended. It is the unshirkable responsibility of educational units and educators to educate students to respect, love and cherish life. Zhejiang and Jiaxing attach great importance to life education, and have issued many documents to guide students to cherish life and prevent juvenile delinquency, and have a more in-depth rational thinking on the ultimate value of life education. The purpose of the "theme-generated" life education project is: through the "theme-generated" life education, students can return to the main body in the atmosphere of natural interaction, understand the irreversibility, irreplaceability and creativity of life, think about the meaning of life existence, and respect themselves and others more, so as to love life and improve life consciousness; Make students cherish life in a positive and humanistic environment, cherish the life of themselves, others, the country and society, face up to setbacks, temper their lives, make students generate sustainable motivation, and work hard for self-realization of life value and improvement of life quality; Make students and teachers further realize that the individual exists in the whole and affects the whole, thus establishing the ideal of continuous learning and improvement for the sustainable development of the school, which will further promote the spirit and outlook of the school.
"Theme Generation" life education in primary schools pays attention to infiltration experience, participation and interaction, and initial perception, so that students can form dynamically generated life cognition and values in the process of theme activities. And each period is different, each with its own emphasis. It meets the psychological and physiological needs of primary school students, promotes their ability development, and has the characteristics of active, framed and generative life education activities. Its themes include environmental protection education, filial piety education, safety education, legal education, national defense science and technology education, patriotism education and other life themes; Its activities include the Young Pioneers' theme activities, comprehensive practical activities, and disciplinary integration and infiltration activities. It is characterized by attaching importance to experiential education, emphasizing the concept of development, having a "menu-style" activity form, and being a multi-angle, multi-latitude, multi-level and diversified education.
Among them, "theme generation" is more a process of independently generating small themes under the big theme of "life education" provided by schools, and naturally generating thoughts and behaviors in their own unique experiences. For example, under the theme of "environmental protection", students can freely choose to generate dynamic small themes, such as "I make friends with Xiaoshu" and "Little white dove on campus", and naturally generate the role of knowing trees in the experience of making friends with Xiaoshu, and consciously care for and protect trees.
Around the main line of "life education", the focus of each year is different: the low stage-understanding life, knowing that teachers, classmates and themselves are all one life, and respecting them; You should know that flowers and plants also have life, so take good care of them; The middle part-be kind to life: combine filial piety education with safety education to let children know that their lives are given by their parents and should be kind to them; High stage-cherish life: combine psychological education, legal education and diligent education, so that students can enhance their own, school and society's life value.
U Interest activities in the form of "independent cooperation".

U takes "interest inquiry" as the professional training direction.
This school is a research base of calligraphy education in Zhejiang Province. In recent years, a number of special students in painting and calligraphy have emerged. In addition, we also encourage students to combine their own interests and cultivate their own specialties in composition, science and technology, music and so on. There are more than 0/000 students in the whole school, and the proportion of special students is as high as 30%.
Looking forward to the future and facing new opportunities and challenges, we will revitalize educational resources, devote ourselves to the research and practice of modern education under the leadership of school leaders, take the road of characteristic education, build a modern school with first-class facilities, first-class team, first-class management and first-class achievements, accelerate the process of educational modernization, make art primary schools a model of the whole city and even the whole province, and add new glory to Pinghu education.
