In the summer vacation of 1, I carefully read the book "Education for Individuals" by Li Xigui, president of No.1 Middle School Attached to Beijing Normal University. This book pointed out the running direction for me standing at the starting line of the class teacher's work. The following two points are deeply touched.
Discover the charm of informal praise
In all management behaviors, evaluation is something that every manager needs to be especially careful, because it is very interesting, and because evaluation is a highly professional job, it needs to be used with caution. The application of "informal evaluation" especially "informal praise" plays a very important role in education and teaching.
President Li Xi talked about such a leader in his book. He often gives you a thumb after you do something, so that he is privately called "thumb head" by people in the industry. A change, a little experience, even an article or a sentence of yours may be affirmed by his "thumb". Although there are no prizes and certificates, it inspires everyone to keep moving forward. In fact, such "informal praise" can also be used well in daily teaching. The affirmation of students' individual strokes when writing new words, the praise of students' emotional grasp when reading texts and the timely encouragement when thinking uniquely all inspire children from time to time.
What impressed me most was that there was such a teacher around me who insisted on giving every child a different birthday. Together with his parents, he collected photos of his children from childhood to adulthood and made an album so that other children in the class could leave messages and send him blessings in various forms. I will also write a greeting card myself and write all my love on it. No matter what the process is, I believe that the power of this kind of true feelings is infinite. Although we can't do everything now, we can try to choose a real and credible point to infinitely enlarge the potential of "informal praise".
Only by letting go can we have more educational opportunities.
Many teachers and parents are doubly worried and anxious about students' disorientation and inadaptability when they first enter school. Then, it is followed by one-handed arrangement, leaving no room for children. This seems to avoid being at a loss, but in fact it only delays such an unsuitable and immature state. Just like a toddler, he will never grow up if his parents never give him the chance to walk alone. If we let nature take its course, we will lose the opportunity to cultivate their autonomy and self-reliance.
I think what bothers teachers most is the safety of students. Recently, the word "elevator" has become a popular search word. There is such a small case about "elevator" in this book: some schools have installed a ride-limiting device on the elevator after repeatedly prohibiting students from taking the elevator, but it doesn't work. Only teachers with credit card permission can bring it. The change of hardware facilities seems to have solved the security problem that has plagued the school for a long time, but at the same time it has lost the opportunity of education. President Li Xi said that if students can't know how to use resources in the situation of contradiction between taking ladders and banning ladders, and can't know from the heart how to respect people who should be respected in a reasonable way in a team, they will still have a headache once they encounter similar problems one day. Imagine how such a life experience can be abandoned. Many abilities develop in problems and grow in mistakes. How can such a good educational opportunity be missed!
Whether it's "informal praise" or "learning to let go", we need to know every child with our heart, find their subtle changes, guide them in time, feel their needs, help them in time, believe in their ability and believe in the power of growth.
Excellent Thought of Individual-based Education 2 Before I came into contact with Li Xigui, I had already heard his "quotations", such as "When a school puts teachers first, teachers will also put students first", "It is not easy to do simple things well every day" and "A school without warehouses is an ideal, actually trying to tell people that no resources should be stored in the school". This summer vacation, I really got a taste of Li Xigui's broad educational thoughts from the book Education for Individuals, from which I got a lot of shock and inspiration.
Li Xigui is currently the president of beijing no.11 high school, and has served as the director of the Basic Education Evaluation Center of the Ministry of Education, the national inspector and the director of China Education Association. He presided over a number of national projects, among which "China Laboratory Program" was listed as "Special Teacher Program" by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Personnel, and won the first prize of outstanding teaching achievements by the Shandong Provincial People's Government. But even with so many shining titles on his head, his views on teachers and students and education are even more remarkable.
First, the concept of teachers and students
In beijing no.11 high school, President Li held high the banner of "students first". In order to build the ideal school that children yearn for, they regard choice as the key word of the school, help students choose the appropriate learning style, and let everyone become their own CEO. The head teacher became the chief tutor, and formed an education team with several other related teachers as tutors, who were responsible for students' life navigation, psychological counseling and academic guidance respectively. Only when teachers are in the first place in the process of realizing the goal of running a school can they help the principal realize his educational ideal. "I think paying attention to students should start with paying attention to teachers. Education is to shape people's career and students' beautiful life. This goal can only be achieved through teachers. " "Happiness can shape happiness, and beauty can shape beauty. Any care can only be true, moved by people's transmission, and no one can change it. A teacher exerts a subtle influence on students on campus and in class. He can turn the spring breeze into rain, and he can also make students' close to ink is black'. "
Second, the educational concept.
Once, faced with the dilemma of freshman admission, a student who had made achievements in equestrian, but had a big gap in the results of the senior high school entrance examination, entered the eleventh middle school. Admit or give up? After discussion, the school board broke away from convention and accepted such a "special child". Their idea is that they would rather give up the concentration rate of 100%, but also create more opportunities for students with different personalities, create a more relaxed and harmonious atmosphere for teachers' teaching, and truly build the school into a school belonging to children. "The syllabus and textbooks stipulate all kinds of knowledge that should be given to students, but they do not stipulate the most important thing that should be given to students, that is: happiness. Our educational belief should be: training real people! Let everyone cultivated from their own hands spend a happy life. " This is Suhomlinski's words, which have shocked Li Xigui to this day.
As a kindergarten teacher, I should also start by paying attention to the children themselves. We will find the tree with a pair of discerning eyes. It must be different from this tree. Some need to be tall and straight in the sky, some need to thrive by the river, some are used to the fog cover, and some are eager for sunshine ... Finding that tree requires us to provide suitable soil, moisture, climate and nutrients, suitable ecological environment and our educational feelings. "I deeply feel that when each of our children glows with their own potential, shows their self-worth and becomes the best of themselves, our education will truly win." This is the personal experience of President Li Xi. I think the book "Education for Individuals" will definitely make us look at children from a different angle, enlarge the wisdom and strength of education, and strive for a better life for children!
Excellent Thinking on "Individualized Education" 3 During the summer vacation, I read Li Xigui's "Individualized Education", which benefited a lot and was deeply touched.
The purpose of education is to stimulate everyone's innate potential to the maximum extent. When a child enters the campus at the age of 6 and leaves the primary school at the age of 12, what can he gain and cultivate in school, knowledge, thinking, habits and abilities, and through what channels? Classroom learning, life practice, rote memorization, test questions accumulation and community immersion, in which teachers play the role of teaching and practice. Many teachers know that learning is regular, growth is characteristic, and individuals are different, and they know the effective laws of learning, and use this knowledge to solve the individual problems we face in educational practice? So we should learn psychological and physiological knowledge about children's growth.
All along, we like to design the classroom from the perspective of teaching and determine the learning tasks according to the teaching progress. In fact, we should first sort out the students' learning process, let "teaching" retreat to one side first, peel off "teaching" first, and put ourselves in the students' shoes in this process to find out where the mountains are heavy and the waters are heavy, where flowers are blooming, when not to be angry and when not to be angry.
Teachers should be inspirational, so that students will always have inexhaustible learning motivation; Teachers should appreciate and let students become confident and sunny under the eyes of appreciation; Teachers should hold students in their hands and make them look like they are lying in their mother's arms; Teachers should help students climb their own peaks and let them experience success again and again.
Of course, we should be close to not only neglected textbooks, but also successful teaching should be more open. Open the teacher's window and pull a piece of green in the western hills; Push open the door of the school and enter the high-speed rail of the times with students; Link information is high-speed, and the world is on campus. The classroom is a small world and the world is a big stage. Only when we create a broader and more diverse learning stage for children can their future be worth looking forward to.
The truly effective classroom teaching management should be before the classroom teaching begins. If we can spend more time on the teacher's discussion about classroom design in class, maybe there will be more teachers' wisdom in classroom teaching.
A teacher loves life and is good at discovering tiny beauty and vivid plots in life, so his or her students also learn to love life through communication.
A teacher loves education, so he will treat every child in his profession with reverence and sacredness. Children are not only the objects of our work, but also our partners on the road to a happy career. The existence of a problem student means that we have the opportunity to improve our skills. Teachers should be paid for charity.
Teachers like this subject. In his eyes, he is a learner who exists for the subject, so his children feel the charm and magic of the subject.
Teachers love students. He knows that students are the buds of different families. They are all individuals. They are not here to be discriminated against and trimmed uniformly. What they need is oxygen and water suitable for their respiratory system. Only by acknowledging individual differences can they have an individual educational vision.
"I deeply feel that when each of our children glows with their own potential, shows their self-worth and becomes the best of themselves, our education will truly win." This is the management experience of President Li Xigui. I think the book "People-oriented Education" will definitely make us look at our children from a different angle, enlarge the wisdom and strength of education, and strive to build an ideal school for children.
"Individualized Education" excellent thought 4 "A middle school has no administrative class, no class teacher and no class cadres. More than 4,000 students, more than 4,000 schedules, 1, 430 classes, 1, 000 courses, more than 200 clubs, more than 40 school uniforms ... this is the eleventh school in Beijing. "
Seeing this, I can't help being deeply shocked. Is this a school? This is completely different from the school management I remember. What kind of manager is the headmaster (author) Li Xigui?
In Education for Individuals, President Li Xi recorded the mental process of this reform. In the book, I can feel the difficulty of reform, share the wisdom and creativity of reformers, and realize the pursuit and courage of reformers. This is a book.
1. Only by helping children grow up outside the group and talking on an equal footing can education really begin. Let students learn to play different roles and know like-minded partners, which should also be the goal of education. We should find team spirit, discover the unique value of curriculum, help children grow up outside the group and overcome freedom phobia.
Only by letting go can we have more educational opportunities. Don't train all students to be like themselves. Teach students in accordance with their aptitude and learn to choose. From booster to engine, cultivate self-discipline consciousness in free space. Only by letting go can we have more educational opportunities. Discovery is as important as education. From "self-care" to "self-care", there are fewer lottery tickets and more choices.
3. Let students' ideas grow on campus with big goals in mind, teach students to solve problems by themselves, let students' ideas grow on campus, let students find more companions, take drama classes, build a platform for normal communication between boys and girls, and punish students in an acceptable way.
4. Help students choose appropriate learning methods, manage students' learning, attend classes, watch classes, help students choose appropriate learning methods, get close to neglected teaching materials, link activities with reading, and learn to wait.
5. Pedagogy is first of all a relational science, and everyone is in a position: from class teacher to tutor, from persuasion to dialogue, what kind of manners do we need? Pedagogy is first and foremost a relational science. Who will judge the relationship between teachers and students and look for high-quality and low-cost teachers' morality? Teachers are not trained.
6. Let everyone be their own CEO. Only when the principal turns around will the school transform and establish a leading organizational structure. Let everyone be their own CEO. A good coach is a good leader. The task of outsourcing incentives, "me" or "us"? Is there a better way to make choice the key word of the school, expand the influence of teachers and keep power in a cage?
7. An accurate score is not necessarily a correct evaluation. Where is the performance of the teacher? An accurate score is not necessarily a correct evaluation. The evaluation team can form a team. The purpose of evaluation is to promote the progress of the evaluated. Appointment is a good evaluation and finds the charm of informal praise.
8. Encouraging the advanced and allowing the backward, and adjusting the structure are effective levers for organizational change, encouraging the advanced and allowing the backward. The headmaster should walk in the middle of the reform team and let the change happen to "people" to a great extent, instead of breaking the foundation first and then breaking it. If you change your feelings, you will find distributable benefits in the change, first take the shot, then aim at it, and solve the problems in the reform with the idea of reform.
Excellent thinking on "Personal Education" 5 Every holiday is a training season. From new teachers to class teachers, the names of training are overwhelming, but the level of training is mixed, and the experts who give lectures are also high and low. Many colleagues who attended the training with a learning attitude were deeply disappointed. What everyone welcomes is pragmatic education, which is based on academic conditions and a real education that caters to the development of the times. The book "Personal Education" meets our requirements and is a rare good book. The title of "most loved by teachers" is well deserved.
Regarding "equal dialogue", the author thinks that "education really begins with equal dialogue". This link is the link that inspires us the most. In the national curriculum reform, Zhejiang Province has been at the forefront of the reform, and the concept of administrative classes has become history. In this change, the problem of "how to manage" is more concerned than the problem of "how to teach". The author points out in the book that when there is no head teacher in a class, the biggest challenge for teachers comes from equality. An example is given in the book: a teacher who has been a class teacher for many years feels that student work is more difficult than before, because students have different views on subject teachers and class teachers, and the role of teachers has not been adjusted well. "Many times, students are forced to' figure it out' under the administrative power of our class teacher, but the authenticity of its educational effect is doubtful." This sentence well explains an important idea in personalized education.
So how to find "real students"? The idea put forward by the author in the book is: strive to form an individual-oriented educational ecology in schools, and let students choose independently according to the concept of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. "Under the choice, the children gradually developed a sense of responsibility and mission; Under the choice, they found themselves and awakened themselves. I believe that they will eventually achieve themselves. " This raises the management requirements of the school to a new height, and there are new requirements from management to teaching. Curriculum is the product of students. Schools need to consider students' real requirements and abilities when formulating courses, need different incentives in the development stage, and need real evaluation results and effective evaluation mechanisms in the evaluation.
The school in the book has developed 203 school-based courses, with as many as 199 elective courses, and even divided the national curriculum into as many as five layered courses with different difficulties, thus fully realizing the school-based national curriculum. Wenzhou area is also in the spring breeze of education reform, and the reform is in full swing, and high-quality otology courses in various schools emerge one after another. The selectivity of courses determines that under our education, students have good future planning, self-evaluation and choice ability. The ability to choose is one of the abilities that Chinese children lack. Let students learn to choose, that is, let students grow up.
Spencer said, don't expect children to have many virtues. The whole mystery of educators lies in how to care for students. If you hate students, your education actually ends before it starts. The author puts forward in the book: "Pedagogy is first and foremost a relational science." It makes sense. Teachers should take students as the main body and create a good atmosphere from the relationship between teachers and students in order to achieve better educational results. The author puts forward: "Only when a large number of excellent teachers influence the growth of students and promote the development of schools with the feelings, realm, mentality and wisdom of educators, can such schools truly realize the education of educators." This reminds us of many educators' review of "past education", why there were groups of educators in the past, and why educators were always keen on front-line teaching. This is a question worthy of our deep thinking. Under the background of the new curriculum reform, the evaluation system of hope education is more inclined to the communication between teachers and students, and more inclined to the classroom, rather than one academic paper after another draining teachers' great energy, and teachers have to drag themselves into the classroom. I hope this year, the Ministry of Education can implement the central slogan on teacher development and burden reduction in every school, so that we can truly face the real education.
It coincides with the educational reform, and I deeply feel that solving the problems in the reform is the best reform idea. In the process of teaching, curriculum and classroom are at the forefront of reform, but in this process, we must not ignore the children around us. As the book says: When every child of ours glows his own potential, exerts his own value and becomes the best himself, our education will really win.
