Ask the reason, the first kind of teachers say that watching the deeds of excellent teachers can make them grow; The second kind of teacher said, only read relevant articles in journals, but also copy relevant data and examples, so as to come in handy when writing papers in the future; The third kind of teachers want to learn the classroom design and routines of these famous teachers and special-grade teachers, and use some wonderful teaching fragments directly in their own classrooms; The fourth kind of teachers have a strong interest in education. Reading such famous educational books and monographs seems to be a heart-to-heart meeting with these great educators and has become an important part of their lives.
Of course, I don't mean not to read non-classics, but it is very necessary to choose books with varied contents and uneven quality.
There are countless books about education and teaching in the world, even if it takes us a lifetime. Fortunately, we have the time, the most impartial critic, to screen out a number of recognized educational masterpieces for us. Life is too limited to read second-rate and third-rate so-called educational monographs. I think we should go straight to the classics. Philosopher Zhou said: Seriously speaking, not just reading something can also be regarded as reading. For example, I don't think reading homework or reading fashion magazines is reading. Real reading must involve the soul. It is the roaming of a person's soul in the spiritual world constructed by words and symbols, and it is the self-discovery and self-growth in this roaming, so it is a personalized spiritual behavior. What kind of book is most suitable for this kind of spiritual roaming? Classic, of course. As long as we open them, we will find a unique and complete spiritual world hidden inside.
