Located in the East China Sea, Shanghai Caojing Middle School is an ordinary rural middle school in Jinshan District. Over the years, the school has established a green concept, taking environmental education as a breakthrough, taking the opportunity of creating a green school, implementing all-round infiltration, full participation and whole-process management, establishing the idea of sustainable development among students, and conveying a large number of outstanding talents for cultivating and building a new countryside. In 2003, the school was rated as Shanghai Environmental Education Characteristic School, Shanghai Green School and National Green School, and in 2004, it won the 19 Intel Science and Technology Innovation Award for Excellent Organization.
First of all, establish a green concept and optimize the educational environment.
In the practice of running a school, the leaders of Caojing Middle School in Shanghai deeply realized that green education is the need of cultivating people in the new era and the inevitable choice for students to establish the concept of sustainable development.
The purpose of running a school is clear. We should use the green concept to guide the work and put forward clear goals to turn Shanghai Caojing Middle School into a first-class sustainable green school. Under the guidance of this green concept, in recent years, schools, schools and communities have established the "Shanghai Caojing Community Environmental Education Committee", the school itself has set up an environmental education leading group, the class has an environmental education group, and four environmental education societies have been established among students. In the whole school, an environmental education working group composed of guidance office, teaching department and teaching and research team leader was set up to fully implement the school's environmental education plan, and a teacher was hired as the general tutor of environmental education. In this way, a relatively complete environmental education network has been established from the community to schools and classes, ensuring the orderly development of environmental education.
Optimizing the educational environment and establishing an ecological campus environment are important tasks for schools to develop green education. In recent years, with the self-financing of the school, the funding of the Education Bureau and the support of the town government, a comprehensive building embodying ecological forms has been built, and the green area has been expanded 150 square meters. The original electric bell was changed into a musical bell, and garbage was classified on campus. Walking into the campus of Cao Zhong, everything is green, with peach blossoms and willow greens in spring, bamboo peaches in full bloom in summer, osmanthus in autumn and holly in winter.
Second, the environment into the classroom, the main organic infiltration
In the case of heavy teaching tasks, environmental education enters the classroom and penetrates organically. Let environmental awareness and knowledge penetrate into students' hearts.
1, environmental education related disciplines (biology, chemistry, geography, biology, etc. ), carry out environmental education teaching and research activities, including lectures, demonstration teaching activities, field trips, etc., make a good infiltration plan for the whole semester, and achieve orderly and moderate infiltration.
2. Inquiry course, so that students can explore environmental education independently. From grade one to grade three, inquiry-based environmental education courses are offered in all grades, and more than 120 environmental education topics are set up with students as the main body. The students went to the countryside and went deep into the community to carry out projects.
3. Environmental education is a compulsory course. The environmental education courses offered in the lower grades of our school are included in the curriculum, including the syllabus and teaching materials, and the final examination.
Third, go out of the campus and carry out social practice environment education.
Environmental education is a comprehensive subject with practical and comprehensive characteristics. The school combines environmental education with social practice, which not only cultivates students' comprehensive ability, but also promotes green education.
1, walked into the factory and carried out social investigation activities. Combined with the current situation of environmental pollution in rural areas, students are organized to go into printing and dyeing factories and chemical plants to inspect the treatment of printing and dyeing wastewater and chemical wastewater on the spot, so that students can understand the sewage treatment process and enhance their knowledge of environmental protection.
2. Carry out research on ecological villages to raise ecological awareness. Ecological agriculture and the construction of ecological villages and towns are the direction of agricultural development. The students of our school set up the Eco-village Research Association, and studied the eco-village construction in Shanghai for more than three years, and won the second prize for writing a paper.
3. Investigate rural water quality and carry out research on river regulation. Students study and analyze the current situation of rivers in their hometown from the ecological point of view, and successively investigate and analyze several town-level rivers such as Tonghai, Longquan Port and Yunshi River, and write papers and send them to the mayor for decision-making research.
Fourth, the overall effect is obvious, and man and nature are harmonious and unified.
1, which improved the overall level of running a school and promoted the overall education of the school with characteristic education. It has built a brand in the whole region and even the whole city. From an ordinary rural middle school to a national green school, the quality of education and teaching has steadily improved, ranking among the best in similar schools.
2. Students have established a sense of responsibility and mission to the environment. Students consciously protect the green belt in towns and villages and carry out activities to create "three parks" in their hometown: green homes, rural gardens and villages. In environmental protection festivals, it has become their conscious behavior to organize members of the association to clean up white pollution on the streets.
