From 65438 to 0996, Yang Yi, who graduated from Teacher Education College of Zhejiang Normal University, returned to his hometown and went to Mingxi School in Beibaixiang Town, Yueqing City to devote himself to the education in this old revolutionary area. Recalling this experience, Yang Yi still remembers: "At that time, other schools had already recruited teachers. I came to Minxi School on September 1 to report. I didn't expect to stay for so many years. "

At the beginning of school, the teaching conditions were poor and all the work was very difficult. From math teachers to social and political teachers, to science teachers and maker teachers; From finance to general affairs, to vice president and other positions, he has been carrying forward the spirit of nailing, and "nailing" where it is needed. In this remote mountainous rural school in the westernmost part of Yueqing City, Yang Yi worked hard for 26 years.

Let rural children "no longer go to the countryside"

In daily teaching, "having a soft spot for Du Fu" is a true portrayal of Yang Yi. On weekdays, he cares about students, especially those with poor families and learning difficulties. Mingxi is located in a remote mountainous area. There are many "problem" students due to family and other factors. In this respect, he is good at tolerance and patience. He always insists on strict requirements for students, does not favor students with good grades, and never gives up any "poor students" He warms every student with a pure heart.

For students with weak foundation in teaching classes, Yang Yi uses his spare time to open a "small stove"; For students whose thoughts fluctuate greatly during class, he communicates with parents in time; At the end of the term, he made a home visit and reported the progress of each student to his parents in time. Decades of constant care, love and concern have not only educated every student to study hard, but also taught them the truth of being a man.

More than ten years ago, he was advised to leave the mountains and go to the city to teach. On the one hand, it is more convenient traffic conditions and more comfortable living conditions, and on the other hand, naive rural students need guidance. Faced with repeated requests from students and parents, Yang Yi gave up the idea of leaving. "I'm needed here more. I should stay here." He said.

Let young teachers "spread their wings and soar"

In the past 20 years, Yang Yi has welcomed a batch of new colleagues who came to Mingxi, and witnessed them moving from Mingxi to a small town to teach on a broader educational platform. "For every teacher, we must be self-motivated first. The school will provide them with a good teaching atmosphere and encourage them to grow." Yang Yi said that at the beginning, he was also distressed that the school could not retain talents. "But since we have to leave, let them walk very gracefully and let them grow into excellent teaching talents in the six or seven years in western Fujian." In order to make new colleagues grow up quickly, Yang Yi tried every means to improve their teaching level and strive for evaluation opportunities for them. It was Yang Yi's selfless dedication that made every effort to increase the "hematopoietic function" for mountain education, so that all the teachers who went out of Mingxi School grew up from newly graduated new teachers to middle and senior teachers and became the teaching backbone of other schools, which was well received.

Let innovative courses "be deeply rooted in people's hearts"

During these years of teaching in rural areas, Yang Yi knew that he was shouldering an extraordinary responsibility and mission. On the way to teaching, he never stopped, always treated himself with the highest standards and strict requirements, constantly participated in academic qualifications and business studies, and updated his concepts. Vigorously promote the teaching reform, and carry out the "one card, one single" teaching method that includes students' problem cards and task lists before, during and after class, so as to change the classroom from "teacher-centered" to "student-centered" and from "passive teaching" to "active learning" of students, so as to improve the teaching quality of schools for a long time, and the grades of primary and junior high school students are among the best in Yueqing City; Make students' behavior more civilized and study habits improved; Make teachers' teaching more accurate and improve the quality of teaching evaluation, teaching research and papers.

In addition, maker education rooted in basic disciplines is also one of the contents of curriculum reform promoted by Yang Yi. Cultivate a maker teaching and research team, conduct inclusive and personalized maker education for all students, and then establish different maker associations according to students' interests and specialties. Under the guidance of professional teachers, we adopt problem-based and project-based methods to learn and learn by doing. For more than four years, Maker Education in Minxi School has become a major characteristic subject, and various Maker Competition awards won by students have already been hung on the whole wall of the school. Under the leadership of Yang Yi, Maker Education is taking root and sprouting here.
