Parent school is an important position to guide family education. It is our parents' school's consistent pursuit to carry out extensive family education propaganda, popularize family education knowledge, popularize successful experiences, help and guide parents to establish correct family education concepts, master scientific family education methods, and improve the ability of scientifically educating children. Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the parents' school, the school leaders established the school purpose of "serving parents, being their friends and educating people hand in hand with parents". Our working idea is: take the parent committee as the leader, take the teaching and research of the lecturer team as the basis, rely on twice teaching each semester, take the construction of the parent school system as the guarantee, take the subject research as the carrier, build a scholarly campus and cultivate campus cultural people. To this end, we have established and improved the school organization and achieved the "four haves": one is organized. Parents' school leading group and caring for the next generation association, which are attended by principals, community leaders, working committees (committees) and parents, have been set up, and parents' committees have been set up to improve the school organization. Second, there is a working system. Relying on the parents' committee, we have formulated a series of related systems, such as the Charter of the parents' committee, the responsibilities of the parents' committee, the responsibilities of the principal of the parents' school, the student learning system, the methods for training teachers in the parents' school, and the methods for selecting excellent parents' scholarly families, and organized students to learn these systems at the beginning of each parent's school, so that students can know, abide by and consciously maintain them. Third, there is material security. Every year, parents' schools have certain funds to purchase necessary learning materials and facilities, and parents have classrooms to attend classes and reception rooms to receive visitors. Fourth, there are teachers. We have hired backbone teachers and outstanding retired teachers who are enthusiastic about the education of the next generation as parents' school teachers, hired President Shen as parents' school counselors, established a relatively stable team of teachers with certain professional knowledge and teaching level, and also hired community directors who are experienced and enthusiastic about family education as off-campus counselors. As a result, the construction of parent schools has been standardized and systematized, which provides a strong guarantee for family education.
Second, the school has teaching materials, teaching research and teaching methods.
Based on our school's goal of running a parent school, when we set up a parent school, we reasonably selected the parent school textbooks, such as "Parents' Reader for Primary School Students" and the municipal parent school textbooks. Every semester, 1-2 days should be used to organize and train teachers to conduct teaching research, from the selection of teaching content to the design of lesson preparation problems and the selection of cases; From the choice of teaching methods to how to teach in cadence, we have studied them one by one, demanding teachers with high standards, and trying to make every class interesting and rewarding for parents.
According to the present situation of family education in our school and the characteristics of students' physical and mental development, parents' schools have made beneficial explorations in the forms of running schools and teaching methods. When teaching, we have various methods:
1, level 3 teaching. Our school implements the "three-level teaching" system of parent school, that is, the whole school experts teach, the grade group teaches, and the class consults and discusses. In addition, in order to promote communication between home and school, an open day for classroom teaching has been set up to let parents participate in lectures and improve the level of classroom teaching. Through the establishment of home-school contact system for special students and regular home visits by teachers, home-school contact and communication have been strengthened.
2. Hierarchical teaching. Through questionnaire survey, parents' discussion and class teacher's understanding, we collect and find out the main problems existing in family education, understand the problems that parents are most concerned about and feel difficult, and determine the focus and direction of parents' school education. We adopt stratified teaching and continuous guidance to serialize the teaching content. The specific way is to offer relevant courses to parents at three levels according to students' grades. For example, parents of first-grade students should focus on helping their children understand the school's learning characteristics, learning requirements and basic learning methods, clarify the tasks and routines of school teaching, and let their children adapt to primary school learning life as soon as possible. For parents of grade two or three students, the focus of teaching is to let parents know the ways and means to cultivate their children's behavior habits and study habits during this period, and clearly put forward that it is better to give their children a good habit than to give them a golden mountain and a silver mountain. For parents of grade four, five and six students, the focus of teaching is to help them understand their children's psychological needs and ideological changes and enhance the effectiveness of family education.
Third, the training focuses on the process and the work is pragmatic.
The quality of process management is the key to the quality of parents' school training. Therefore, we pay close attention to the "three rates" in our work:
1, grasp the activity development rate
In order to make activities an effective carrier of training, our school has carried out a variety of home-school contact activities: one home visit to special children every period, and various forms of situation reports to other children, such as sending good news and making phone calls; Conduct an open day for parents once a year; Open parents' mailboxes all the year round; Parents' symposiums are held twice every issue, and parents are recommended to attend special lectures on family education given by education experts and scholars, especially the home-school information platform is opened. We know that the goal of cooperative education is the foundation of parent school. Therefore, on the basis of colorful courses in parents' schools, a "home-school information platform" was opened in schools by using information resources, which highlighted the interaction of home-school information and timely reported children's school performance. Through short messages, a communication platform between parents and teachers is constructed to provide timely, effective and convenient educational information communication for teachers, students and parents, so that school education and family education can be better combined. If parents are most concerned about the performance of freshmen this semester, especially the class situation, teachers in various subjects will write short messages to parents according to the students' situation, and parents will reply to the teachers after seeing them. A teacher wrote: "Meng Yan is a quick-thinking child. He actively raised his hand to speak in class, answered questions loudly and wrote beautiful pinyin every day. I hope to continue to work hard! "
2. Master the attendance of students.
On the one hand, our school makes a fuss about improving the teaching quality of parents' schools. On the other hand, our school requires parents to take part in the study and not be absent without reason. If some parents are absent for some reason, the class teacher will come to school or call or ask them to arrange another time to make up lessons for them. Since the school started the parent school, the attendance rate of each student has been above 96%.
3, master the feedback rate of lectures
After each parent's school lecture, the school issues feedback forms to parents, asking them to make suggestions or talk about their feelings. After each lecture, we require at least 25% of the feedback form for each class.
Fourth, parents' schools have topics, and scientific research leads families.
The parents of our school said with emotion: "Our parents' school is very attractive! "That makes sense. We think his charm comes from the research in parents' schools. How to make parents' road to study wider and wider? In the last semester of 2004, under the guidance of the Committee of Changsha Education Bureau, we actively participated in the research of "Building a Learning Family Relying on Parents' Schools". Under this general topic, we focus on the study of "building a learning family with activities as the starting point".
In the process of creating a learning family, we first ask parents to master "12345": a goal. Every family has a goal, hoping that their family will become a healthy, successful and happy family. Two generations * * *. Parents and children learn and progress together, learn from each other and keep pace with the times. One third of the time. In the 24 hours of a day, besides work and sleep, there are 8 hours of leisure time. One third of these eight hours should be used for study, that is, it takes 2-3 hours to study every day. Four self-requirements: (1) self-change and self-development; (2) clear thinking, abandoning "taking it for granted" and innovating and exploring; (3) Self-demand becomes the subject of creation; (4) Put down parents' airs and talk and communicate with children equally. Step 5: (1) Establish the goal of self-growth; (2) establishing a family reading corner; (3) Reject temptation and cultivate learning interest and habits; (4) Let the family choose the books that suit them; (5) Take the step of two-way learning, that is, parents learn from their children and children seek advice from their parents.
Second, parents participate in the whole process of research and strive to be a learning family.
It is pale to create a learning family only by parents' self-awareness. As a parent school, in addition to vigorously mobilizing, giving professional support and becoming a leader, it must also find and cultivate role models in time. The establishment of learning family not only makes the relationship between family members more harmonious, but also improves the original tense family relationship.
