2. Actions for happiness education
(1) Innovate happiness moral education and improve moral education effectiveness
Innovate happiness moral education, our fundamental goal is to improve moral education effectiveness , so that every student can develop in an all-round way and grow happily. The happiness moral education management model is mainly implemented through the following five channels.
1. Build a happy team with teachers and virtues. To embody virtue as a teacher. Not only can it improve the effectiveness of education and teaching. What's more important is to feel the happiness of the education profession. To strengthen the team spirit and teacher ethics construction of teachers and strengthen teachers' moral cultivation, we organize teachers to carry out expansion training and organize teacher professional training every semester to strengthen teachers' teamwork spirit and dedication. The school conducts happiness team evaluations every semester, so that teachers can feel that there is no perfect individual, but there is a perfect team: each teacher can give full play to their strengths and contribute to the construction of the team. Since launching the practical research on happiness education, we have conducted 9 harmonious team presentations and evaluations, which has greatly harmonized the relationship between team members and enhanced the cohesion of the school group.
2. Use classes to embody virtue and build a happy class. The class management strategy of happiness moral education management is to build personalized classes to form one class and one product. Therefore, personalized classes have become a very important part of happiness education in our school. Personalized classes are guided by the concept of happiness education, combined with the strengths of each class teacher, and based on students' interests, hobbies, and needs to carry out a series of class-specific activities.
3. Embody virtue with emotion and cultivate happy emotions. The essence of moral education is humanistic and emotional education. Once it is separated from the injection of emotions, it will become pale and empty. Whether it is the construction of a good teacher-student relationship, a student-student relationship, or the construction of a happy and warm class, it is the process of generating happy emotions.
The school designs and carries out different moral education themed activities on a monthly basis. For example, in March, it launched a series of educational activities with the theme of dedication, through "We are giving every day", "Thank you for your dedication", "We give more" and "How beautiful dedication is." "Four series of themes to promote the spirit of dedication in schools. Let students remember: never forget the help of others, never forget the upbringing and guidance of parents and teachers, be good at discovering the kindness of others, feel warmth, strengthen self-discipline, learn to be grateful to those who have helped them, and cultivate students' health mentality, and then shape the students' sound personality.
4. Use habits to embody virtue and cultivate happy habits. The moral education process in the compulsory education stage is a process of development. In the development education, the most important thing is the development of good habits. Because good habits are the cornerstone of happiness in life. The realization of our school's students' moral education goals starts from cultivating good habits. Cultivate morality through learning, allowing students to feel happiness while developing good habits. To this end, we have formulated systems such as the "Liuyue School Student Learning Behavior Code" and the "Liuyue Doll Declaration" and made agreements with students in six aspects including class, break, and class affairs to promote the formation of students' good behavioral habits.
5. Embody virtue with excellence and promote happy growth. The school carried out the "Six Stars" evaluation activity. Inspire and develop students' potential for outstanding growth, so that students can feel happiness in their progress and excellence: Class incentives: Each class will select "Class Stars" every month based on students' star accumulation. School incentives: The school's brigade department selects the best from the class stars every month to select the school's "Campus Star". Multi-evaluation: student individual self-development evaluation line, everyone competes for stars; student group interactive development evaluation line, stars for the park. The so-called use of stars in the garden is to carry out a school-wide "star consumption" garden activity to push the star incentive system to the extreme. The activity is carried out like this: every New Year's Day and Children's Day, children use the stars they usually get to exchange for an equal amount of star currency and become the "Happy Star Ambassadors" of the day's garden party. In this way, through game activities, students can self-evaluate their gains and losses in academic studies and behavioral norms in the previous stage, and consciously develop good behavioral habits.
