As a young volunteer in China, teaching in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School is coming to an end. One year's teaching life has taught me a lot. In real work and life, it can be said that it is quite exercise. In contact with local leaders, school colleagues and students, I have learned a lot that is unprecedented in the ivory tower of the university, especially in contact with local people, and I have a more perceptual understanding of the reality of the Hui people in southern Ningxia.
First, give full play to the advantages of knowledge and carry out "intellectual poverty alleviation."
Focusing on teaching and improving students' scientific and cultural quality will directly serve the development of local education. After arriving in Jingyuan, the Youth League Committee and the County Education Bureau arranged for us to work in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School. Compared with the previous two sessions of Ningda Education Group, the conditions of the schools we serve this year are better. Jingyuan No.2 Middle School is a county-level rural middle school, built in 1979, located in Jingheyuan Town by the water mirror. The Jinghua Highway passing through Liupan Mountain National Forest Park passes in front of the school. The school covers an area of 30,040 square meters with a building area of 5,307 square meters. The library has 7643 books, including a biochemical laboratory and a physics laboratory. The school has 70 teaching staff, 38 teaching staff and 32 teaching teachers. The school has 16 classes and 1006 students (472 girls).
The school arranged accommodation for us the day after we arrived, and the guidance office also arranged teaching courses for us this semester. I work as a geography teacher in six classes of Grade Seven. Because I majored in journalism in college, I was arranged to help write materials and documents in the school office according to the needs of the school. This is the trust of the school in me and further enhances my confidence in teaching! As far as teaching tasks are concerned, there are 14 classes every week, and there is also a night study. Last year, the geography of Jingyuan No.2 Middle School ranked last in the county-wide unified examination, and the teaching pressure was great. The students' foundation is very weak, so it is difficult to carry out teaching work. I didn't flinch in the face of unprecedented pressure. The sense of teaching responsibility and mission urges me to take the improvement of teaching quality as my own responsibility and seriously think about teaching methods suitable for mountain students. After a period of serious study and research on educational theory and teaching materials, I have made a detailed exploration of the characteristics of students and teaching in mountainous areas and gradually explored new teaching methods. In classroom teaching, I prepare lessons as fully as possible and choose different questions according to the different levels of students in class. And I will collect information from all sides, download advanced teaching plans from the internet, ask teachers for teaching methods, and strive to enrich classroom teaching content and enliven the atmosphere; Caring and caring for students, combining students' thoughts and actual learning situation, enriching classroom teaching forms and contents. "Hard work pays off." Last semester, the seventh grade geography subject of Jingyuan No.2 Middle School won the second place in the county geography examination.
In addition to normal teaching, I actively participate in various teaching and research activities organized by Jingyuan No.2 Middle School, exchange teaching experience with teachers in our school, and improve teaching level. This year, I participated in the open class training for young teachers organized by the school and the selection of school-level excellent courses in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School. Fortunately, I won the first prize in the selection of school-level excellent courses, which really benefited me a lot! In these activities, I learned to listen to lectures; Learned to evaluate classes; Learned to prepare lessons; Learned to lecture; I have learned ... I know that what I have learned is only a scratch, and there is no way to compare with other experienced teachers. However, this is a kind of progress, and a kind of joy from the deepest heart arises spontaneously. "It's like an iron gate, but now I'm striding from the beginning." I will be more active in my future work and study, and devote myself to new teaching with high fighting spirit.
Second, carry forward the spirit of volunteers and carry out "material poverty alleviation".
Carrying forward the spirit of volunteers and taking various forms to help students with excellent academic performance solve their urgent needs have greatly stimulated their determination to study hard and become successful. After in-depth understanding of the poor students in Jingyuan, we carried out related assistance activities with the theme of "Red Candle Action and Caring for Education". As a graduate student aid group of Ningxia University, we play a team spirit, actively get in touch with "Everyday Charity" with the group leader as the center, actively strive for various funds, and do our best to help poor students. Up to now, * * * has subsidized 50 students, with a total subsidy of 1.5 million yuan, enabling many children who are facing dropping out of school to return to school. In addition, I also actively participated in the school's "Thousand Talents Program" assistance activities. I directed three students to create literary works of "Thousand Talents Program" and "Western Story", which won 1200 yuan for these three students (Grade One). This activity lasted until their graduation, and the publication of 8 works per academic year can get the support of 800 yuan.
Third, care about students, inspire them and be their guide in study and life.
In my daily study and life, I am good at dealing with my different identities on different occasions. For students, it is not enough to be strict with teachers; It is not advisable to make intimate friends with them blindly. In teaching, I am strict with teachers. In class, I want to encourage students to learn unlimited knowledge in a limited time of 45 minutes, so I am very serious in class, but this is only for teaching, not for a certain type of students. Because of this, several classmates gave me advice: "Teacher, if only you would laugh in class, just like you did on the basketball court!" " "I tried to adopt this idea, but the effect was not obvious. Some classes have poor classroom discipline, and some students want to listen, but they don't hear my explanation. After all, I am a seventh-grade student, and my self-control ability is still very weak. But after class, I often chat with my classmates to understand their learning trends and help students with learning difficulties.
In life, my history teacher Jolie and I are as concerned about the growth of students and their food, clothing, housing and transportation as our parents. Most students are boarding at school now. School is their second home, and teachers are their second parents. After the evening self-study, we help with our homework. The window glass of the dormitory is broken, so we help to install new glass; There are sick students in the dormitory, and we find medicine to send them; Students have worries, and we help them solve them; In hot days, there is boiling water to quench their thirst, and in cold days, there is hot water to warm their feet ... to solve small problems in their daily lives and let them learn other life knowledge besides learning.
Fourth, give full play to ideological advantages, broaden students' horizons and improve their comprehensive quality.
Give full play to ideological advantages, and through various activities, make mountain students accept the baptism of advanced ideas, effectively broaden their horizons and improve their comprehensive quality. As a member of the graduate education group, we have a deep understanding of the spiritual connotation of poverty alleviation. In teaching, we not only teach advanced science and culture to mountain students, but also pay more attention to arousing and stimulating students' desire to become talents, guiding them to know the outside world, giving them confidence and courage to change their destiny, encouraging them to sail diligently, strutting forward with knowledge as their wings, and moving forward towards a promising future.
In my geography teaching process, the teaching concept of broadening students' horizons runs through. At the same time of courseware teaching, I show them more pictures outside to stimulate their fighting spirit for pursuing their ideals. In the process of geography courseware teaching, I showed them the relevant pictures of Ningxia University, which made the students in the service school better understand the history, present situation and development of Ningxia University, which greatly broadened their horizons and made them more accurately realize the deepest connotation of knowledge changing their destiny. In addition, in the teaching of world geography, I aim to emphasize that the outside world is wonderful, stimulate students' enthusiasm for studying hard and building mountains, and thus increase the ways for students to know the world.
5. Participate in more group activities and open more communication platforms.
During this semester in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School, I actively participated in various activities organized by the school: in the first "Peach and Plum Cup" sports meeting in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School from June 5438 to October 2006, I participated in the basketball match of the teaching staff. Although our political, historical and geographical groups are not ranked, I have enhanced my feelings with my colleagues during this activity; In June, 2006, 5438+065438+ 10, I recruited an announcer in "Voice of the Campus" radio station in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School, and served as a judge in the seventh grade Putonghua Competition in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School. I have improved my understanding and kept learning through communication with students. I participated in the lantern riddle activity on New Year's Day in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School from June 5438 to February 2006, and won the prize. In this process, I realized the cleverness of students and the dedication of teachers. In April 2007, I participated in the first track and field meeting of Jingyuan No.2 Middle School as a referee and athlete. I realized the fun of the school collective sports meeting, and I also saw the good ideological quality of our students working hard and winning glory for the class. In June 2007, the school held a keynote speech entitled "Learn to be grateful". I participated as a staff member. In this activity, I saw more students write down their gratitude to their parents, teachers and society. These are all manifestations of our students' continuous growth.
In the process of communicating with students, one aspect is to have fun with students, participate in their group activities, such as the class meeting of Class 3, Grade 7, and actively discuss the methods of class construction with students. I actively participated in the tug-of-war and basketball match of the "Li Tao Cup" sports meeting and encouraged the students to cheer. Students like teachers to communicate with them in this way, thinking that we college students have no shelf. It turns out that they think our college students outside are aloof and unattainable. They said, "You don't have that big shelf, and we can get along like brothers and sisters." We also played striding with the students, which was the first time in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School. This is the first time that teachers have played this game with students on campus. If there is anything gained from the interaction with students, I am very impressed with them except teaching.
In this year's teaching life, there are joys and sorrows, and there are sorrows and joys. But you can only taste your own inner crying and joy. In this year, my contribution has been affirmed by the society, local youth league committees and service schools, which is also my most gratifying and happy thing. In May 2007, he was named "Top Ten Excellent Volunteers" in Guyuan City, "Excellent Volunteers" in Jingyuan County in May 2007 and "Excellent Teaching Team Members" in the autonomous region in June 2007!
"Let love continue, let the seeds of hope take root and sprout in the northwest of the motherland, and let youth shine and contribute"-this is the ardent expectation of Ningda for volunteers and the heroic oath of our members. I have been teaching in Jingyuan No.2 Middle School for one year. Although it is still very short, I have a deeper understanding of my volunteer activities, and I also realize the necessity of contemporary college students actively marching into the west. Now that teaching is over, I have left more feelings and experiences. In the future study, we will further carry forward the spirit of teaching and educating people, do our job well based on our own duties, always pay attention to the development of western education, and always be ready to make greater contributions to western education.
