1) Learn to swim in swimming and learn to reform the curriculum.
At the opening, a teacher asked how Shea's school fosters the orderly development of teachers. Principal Hia extended the question a centimeter forward: is it true that teachers need to be exceptionally good first, and then they can implement the curriculum reform well?
Principal Shea said this is a concern for many principals. She cited a case: in the last week we accepted a five-year municipal project finalization, in the process of finalization, our Chongqing Municipal very good a Beibei District School of Economics, he talked about a very deep feeling, he said I looked at the Xiejiawan Primary School in the last five years of the curriculum research, I found that I need to change the view of a past we all thought that the teacher must first be well trained to carry out the reform of the classroom. I think we should change our viewpoints. But through the development of Xiejiawan Primary School in the past five years, I saw that it is necessary to learn to swim in the swimming, he said in fact, about the curriculum reform about the theory of education, we have been discussing for many years, no matter how many years we discuss the theory and skills of swimming on the shore, but do not go into the water always seem to know how to change.
For this, I agree. Because no one is born to know everything, we are all in the fumbling to learn some skills, in the practice of learning a piece of knowledge, in the will not become some will then to will. For example, writing, almost do not write, said I will not write; reading, ten days and a half months do not turn over a book, said they do not have the time to read; do research, said that when you see those topics do not know what to do, not to do research material. If we have been a bystander, we will always be an outsider.
"Grovel and enter", any prior to put themselves in, the teacher professional growth in order to talk about growth.
We sometimes want to do a **** the same body, but will always say that we have not found a suitable leader, so again and again on hold, time passes, your growth will only be blank.
Shia also said: Our teachers are still in the spirit of a I'm going to give him a bowl of water, I have to have a bucket of water myself, and you realize that already behind, what is needed, we have to lead the child piece by piece to find a source of water. We have to lead the child to dig a well, so that he can use, not to mention you prepare a bucket of water, you prepare a tank of water is not enough, let alone the quality of this tank of water? So we need to change the concept.
2) What is the purpose of our course?
Shea said: the pisa test, students' recognition, interest and love of the learning process, ranked 72nd out of 79 countries in the world, 7th from the bottom, is this not a very common phenomenon? This is a very common phenomenon, isn't it? The pisa test reflects the fact that Chinese students are generally passive, stressed out, uninterested and unhappy. Therefore, we hope to approach quality education through curriculum reform, curriculum optimization, optimization of curriculum objectives, content and implementation. It must be so that his personal value and the interests of his region and his maximum range of areas that can influence the depth of interest, its value will be the pinnacle of the value of his life . So we need to make the child's pattern, vision, mindset, learning process, learning methods, learning outcomes are closely related to the relevance of the society, nation and country that he can influence and participate in the future.
This is the best answer I've heard to this question so far.
I'm going to start with a quote from Professor Xue Zhaofeng that I just got from Odd Man Out.
In kindergarten, the three most common words a child says are: more, mine, and no, demonstrating exclusivity, desire, and self-centeredness. But a child can't get ahead in society with this.
The three words that the teacher said the most are: wait (wait a minute) talk turn (take turns to keep order) share (share) communication and sharing, this is the senior wisdom.
Perhaps, let me answer this question now, the purpose of our program is to add this one: to cultivate students to be able to have patience, to keep order, to be responsible, to love to share, and to cultivate the children's advanced wisdom.
But the first thing that comes to mind in our current curriculum is how much knowledge and how many skills a child can learn. Can we not talk about this knowledge and skills first, first think about looking at the child's behavior, look at the child's moral development, look at the good quality of students.
3) Why can teachers be so devoted to the study of teaching? Passion is the best reason.
Shia says: Some people think that the teachers in their school love research so much because of the high bonuses. In fact, in a sense, the economy can not determine everything, but human values, Maslow said the realization of self-worth can certainly .
For this, it should be said that the highest level of answer. Everything in the world is created and invested in, all from love. Only the love of the things created, will be tired and happy.
So, when I say I've been working more than a year, it's because I love it.
So, when I say I've been doing this for more than a year, it's because I love it.
I love talking to my kids, and I do it because I love it.
I love talking to my kids, and it's still because I love it.
It just takes leadership wisdom and art to make a teacher's professional growth his favorite.
By constantly giving him a platform for self-realization and a sense of respect, he will love it more.
4) Involve every child, and truly teach according to their abilities.
Shia said: every initiative you have, every target content, the curriculum is not considering the participation of all children, this is very important, we previously used one method to face 60 children, now we have to use 60 ways to face each one.
The extreme attention to each child, the more modern education must be the more humane and personalized, this is the most profound point of our experience.
5) Give students humane care, where is the bottom line? This difference, where do we mainly look at the difference?
Shia cited a case: class on the stage, the stage to listen, they actually saw the class when the children have how comfortable it, someone has been rolling on the floor, the key to roll rolled into what kind of shoes off even socks rolled off, the key to this child every time he raises his hand up to answer the question is the highest level of the class to answer the question of a child, his idea is always different, so You find no the same lesson difference is very big.
We've always had a high appreciation for the kind of classroom that's neatly organized. The last time our school received a tour from one of the leaders, he came back and told us that the students were slouching in class and it didn't feel good.
The classrooms we see abroad have all kinds of chairs, all kinds of learning aids, and the children can really come and go freely in class.
Who is affected by this child rolling around in class? Probably the first to be affected is our teacher, because this child is not disturbing others. And, he wasn't not learning when he rolled around, as evidenced by his speech.
We always give less attention to these kids and always look at them through colored glasses. Whether it's a child with weird behavior or weird thinking, we don't do enough to tailor our teaching to the needs of the child, and this is a topic for every teacher we have.
6) One layer of learning and living will never engage a child.
Shia said: some students say that the grandmothers in our neighborhood square dancing, they have to change the music once a month, our radio gymnastics, why from first grade to sixth grade music movement even the formation is unchanged, the requirements of the daily fast quiet Qi to be spirited, but also face a smile, you understand? You eat sea food every day you are not comfortable.
This is the origin of their self-made drill.
This article, I often use to reflect on my teaching. Too much of a layer of the same, the classroom is not attractive, and we have to take care of the attraction of more than forty children, that is really a wisdom. You can't learn that wisdom, you have to work it out.
7) The most important thing about management is to design programs. Instead of people staring at people, people staring at people will stare people to death.
This sentence Shia is saying in a serious way.
It should be a key takeaway from all the time she's been doing management.
It's like a lesson in managing by rules, not people managing people.
