In the long run, Confucius, our ancestor of education, was diligent in teaching, trained 3,000 disciples all his life, created effective teaching methods, summarized and advocated a set of correct learning principles, formed a complete educational content system, and put forward a series of far-reaching educational ideas. His educational thought still affects us today. He has only one belief in his life, that is, to spread his educational thoughts and Confucianism. He has been running all his life and never gives up. His life is a life of education, and education is his lifelong career.
Besides, it's close. Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), thousands of excellent teachers in Qian Qian have regarded education as a sacred cause and devoted their youth and lives to the cause of education. Li Zhenhua, a model of ethnic education rooted in Yimeng Mountain area, volunteered to work in the most remote school after graduating from Nanjing Normal University. This is his life. He gave up many opportunities to enter the city, change careers and get promoted, was content with poverty, was willing to contribute, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the education in mountainous areas. A bicycle has been riding for 46 years, a watch has been worn for 43 years, and leather shoes have not been worn. However, since teaching for 58 years, he has donated a total of 736,500 yuan to aid students and more than 2,000 students. Bo Yan Rong, a national excellent teacher, has been rooted in the front line of rural mountainous education for 38 years. He is loyal to the party's education, teaching and educating people, working hard and making selfless contributions. For the sake of rural children, I resolutely refused the opportunity to work in a place with good conditions several times. 1990, he accidentally fell down during a home visit, resulting in hemiplegia of his right limb. However, he overcame unimaginable difficulties, picked up chalk with his left hand, and stuck to his post as a teacher with half a limb. Dong Xianchun, an old-timer in Shaoxing education, a national excellent teacher and the headmaster of Wangtan Town Middle School, once donated one year's salary to transform dilapidated school buildings in mountainous areas, but lived in an old house in his hometown. He donated his bonus to the public welfare undertakings in his hometown, and used his salary to buy daily necessities for teachers and help poor students, but his life was extremely poor. President Dong went to Wan Li on business by car, but he never reimbursed a penny for the fare. For more than 20 years, out of infinite loyalty to mountain education, he has worked hard for the development of Wangtan Middle School.
Around us, there are also many such teachers who contribute their light and heat to the education they love. I remember when I was in primary school, the class teacher was a substitute teacher and my neighbor. At that time, teaching in the school was not as good as the production team earned more work points, and the teachers' families were not enough to eat. By the end of the year, they are still the upside-down households of the production team. Nevertheless, he refused to give up the career he loved, refused to leave his children, and preferred to be poor and stay in an education post. At that time, the teacher had a heavy class and had no time to prepare lessons and change homework during the day. How many teachers attend classes during the day and take home lesson preparation books and exercise books at night until late at night. "There are stars in the quiet night, and the teacher's window is brightly lit. Whenever I miss walking by your window, bright lights shine on my heart … "In others' eyes, this song may have beautification elements, but for me, it is empathy. Every time I hear this song, tears come to my eyes. The image of the head teacher is infinitely tall and awe-inspiring in my heart. Later, the teacher became a frequent visitor, and now he has retired, but he still cares about the education and school development of the country.
Later, I also became a teacher. There are many good teachers in the school, which is admirable. In their lives, there seems to be only one thing in life, that is, teaching and educating people. Some teachers don't go back at night, although their homes are not far from school, and although several teachers live in a small room, the conditions are very difficult. What happens at school is the teachers' own business. Everyone tries to do it and never refuses. Treat students like their own children. It's getting dark. They are still helping students with their homework, and some international students are still eating. There has never been a paid tutor, and it is only natural for teachers to tutor students. The biggest material gain for teachers is that some parents will pick some fresh vegetables from their own homes and give them to their teachers. The salary is not high, as long as it is enough, and no teacher complains. Long-term contact has brought me closer and closer to them. I also grew from a teenager to a backbone teacher, party member.
Once upon a time, the impact of the spring tide of market economy and the invasion of the concept of money worship made money gradually become the master of everything, and income became the standard of a person's success and status. In this environment, teachers are not immune. Under the seemingly calm appearance of the school, there is an undercurrent, gradually filled with a utilitarian and impatient mood. Education is no longer sacred, and teaching and educating people seems to be a career for a living. Once there are higher-paying jobs to choose from, teachers may no longer miss teaching posts. When teaching and educating people is no longer regarded as their own career, their persistence in work and their dedication to their careers will be greatly reduced: fewer students will stay in self-study at night and make up lessons for free; Preparing lessons at night and changing homework are basically gone; Few people study hard to improve their teaching level; It is much more perfunctory to participate in training and further study; There are more paid tutors during the winter and summer vacations on weekends. ...
The change of environment and the temptation of the outside world have changed teachers' mentality. Every teacher, like those excellent teachers mentioned above, regards teaching and educating people as the sacred cause of his life, which is a bit reluctant and unrealistic. We can't expect all teachers to "love each other and do each other", but I think we can at least "love each other and do each other". Since you are engaged in this profession, you should work hard to love it and regard it as your own career. If we only regard teachers as our profession and as a means of survival, then I think it is difficult for you to get other sense of satisfaction, accomplishment and even boredom except the middle professional income and general social status. Therefore, I want to appeal loudly, calling on each of us teachers to regard this job as their own career and also as their own career. Because it is good for you to make it public, and it is good for you to do so. Personally, it can enhance the sense of mission and responsibility for education, enhance the happiness of work and life, and have more professional satisfaction; In public, education can be better developed, and schools can be recognized by society and parents; For students, they can learn more knowledge and get more opportunities to become talents. Telling the truth is boring, and it may not be deeply rooted in people's hearts. It is also very necessary to take teaching and educating people as your own career only from the perspective of teachers.
First of all, education can fill us with a sacred sense of mission and a strong sense of responsibility.
If "teacher is the most glorious profession in the world" is because of the division of occupations, then from the professional point of view, teachers are the most sacred profession in the world. Because educators are everyone's lifelong career, there is no doubt about the sacredness and greatness of education. Since education is so great, as educators, we should realize that we are angels of human life growth, engineers of human soul, inheritors of human culture and ladders of human progress. We should be proud of undertaking such a glorious and sacred mission. Why should educators have a sense of mission? In reality, although many of us are busy and hard at work, we always feel dull and boring. I think we just lack a sense of mission, or we can say that we have no faith or worship. Over time, there will be no passion and sense of responsibility in the work, and there will be no spirit of tireless pursuit and dedication for the sacred education cause.
Taking education as a career will also give us a stronger sense of responsibility. Educators' responsibility for educational work is natural. Without responsibility, education will look pale and powerless. The sense of responsibility enables each of us teachers to take the initiative to assume the responsibility of education, do our job wholeheartedly, earnestly perform teachers' duties and obligations, resist the influence of various external factors such as utilitarianism, make us more conscientious, fulfill our duties, love education, love each of our students, always maintain the true colors of people's teachers, and be worthy of the glorious title of people's teachers.
Second, education can improve our quality of work and life and enhance our sense of happiness.
If we regard teachers as our career, we will change our attitude towards them and be full of love for this job. The same effort to do the same thing, if you do it with a relaxed and happy mood, may get twice the result with half the effort. If you are unwilling to work hard, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and at the same time destroy your mood and affect your health. You will like anything as long as you recognize it from your heart. Therefore, since you are a teacher, your teaching work must be completed. Why not take the initiative to accept it with happiness?
It can be said that if you only regard your career as a career and always engage in your own career passively, you will not be happy and have a sense of accomplishment at work. Life and work are just a cup of boring boiled water for him. Once three people were building a wall together, and passers-by asked them what they were doing. The first man said he was working tired, the second man said he was making money gloomily, and the third man said he was building a tall building happily. A few years later, the third man became a construction engineer, while the first two were still moping about building walls. Isn't it? If you regard your work as your ideal and hope, you will have the passion for your work, enjoy the happiness and enrichment of your work, promote your own quality and ability with a proactive attitude, and finally achieve different achievements. Even small and monotonous things will have different meanings and results if they are done with different attitudes.
I remember the last time Teacher Zhou gave us a lecture, we chatted with a question and asked our teacher how many days were the happiest in a week. Unsurprisingly, most teachers answered that it was two days at the weekend. The reason is that Mr. Zhou told us the essence of the problem, that is, these teachers only work to finish the work, and they don't love the work, so they don't enjoy the happiness brought by the work. If every teacher regards the teacher as his career, falls in love with the teacher, and regards the teacher as his beloved thing, then we will work happily for five days and have a happy rest on weekends. Isn't our life happy every day? Happy every day, the happiness of life will follow, isn't it something to celebrate?
Third, academic qualifications can give us a greater sense of professional satisfaction and accomplishment.
When you are white-haired and old, and look back on your life, everyone will ask themselves: Will you be proud of your life? No matter the material life or the possessiveness you realize, there is no sense of pride. Only those people and things that you have influenced and changed will make you proud.
What is the biggest gain of being a teacher? I think it should be that my students have achieved something and made extraordinary achievements. When students write sincere letters to their beloved teachers, send greeting cards filled with greetings, and even visit you at school and home, teachers' sense of accomplishment reaches its peak.
What kind of teacher has the most sense of accomplishment, I think it must be a good teacher, a good teacher deeply respected by students, and a good teacher who takes teaching and educating people as his career. Some teachers also feel satisfied. I think it can only be regarded as a sense of professional satisfaction, which comes from the income and status of teachers. Compared with most occupations, it still has certain advantages. Only teachers who love students and have a great influence on their growth are good teachers in students' minds. Such a teacher has paid enough for the students, and the students will never forget it.
If you regard teachers as your career, you will devote yourself to your work. In addition to teaching and educating people, I will also pay attention to my professional development and improve my professional level. No matter what job you are engaged in, if you want to achieve something, you must break through your own world in your own profession. As a teacher, of course, we should strive to become a famous teacher and a famous brand of school management. Only in this way can we be more recognized by parents, loved by students and affirmed by leaders. You will have more opportunities to get more honors than others, you will have more opportunities to get higher titles than others, and you will get more respect than others. Therefore, no matter in name or interest, you will get the greatest return and satisfaction if you work hard for your own education.
Since you have chosen this career, you should try to fall in love with it, even if you are forced to choose, it may not be your first choice. Let nature take its course Only when you regard it as your sacred career and something you like, will you concentrate more on your work, enjoy your career faster, make greater achievements and get more rewards, and you will have more happiness and sense of accomplishment.
Teaching and educating people is not only our profession, but also our career. Isn't it?
