First, pay attention to teachers' "annoyance" and solve the problem of fatigue.
Throughout the entire education system, the slogan of reducing the burden on children is endless. Who will help teachers reduce the burden? Kindergarten teachers, in particular, have to do many things by themselves because of ignorance and poor self-protection ability. It can be said that the daily work of kindergarten teachers is to "run on tiptoe" among children. At the same time, kindergarten teachers are different from other teachers. They are fully responsible for children's comprehensive education, which covers science, language, society, art, health and other fields, and are also responsible for parents' work and some care and health care work. In addition, there are all kinds of copywriting, how can we not make kindergarten teachers tired? Overloaded work intensity is the primary reason for preschool teachers' job burnout. So, how should managers alleviate the "troubles" of preschool teachers?
1. Control the "teacher-child ratio"
Some kindergartens, driven by short-term interests or unable to bear the pressure of unbalanced high-quality resources, try their best to expand the scale of kindergartens, and the number of classes expands rapidly, which invisibly increases the heavy burden on teachers, which not only easily causes teachers' job burnout, but also affects the education and teaching level of kindergartens, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of children. Kindergartens should face the career development from the perspective of sustainable development, strictly control the class size according to the evaluation standards of kindergartens at all levels, and ensure the reasonable "teacher-child ratio" of classes. In addition, kindergarten teachers are mainly women, and generally encounter weddings, pregnancy, breastfeeding and all kinds of things that need to take time off. Kindergartens should take appropriate measures. In case of teachers taking maternity leave or non-short-term sick leave or personal leave, teachers should be deployed in time. Children with special needs in the class (such as children with autism, ADHD, mental illness, etc.) should appropriately increase the number of nursing staff or reduce the number of children accordingly. Only by reasonably arranging teachers' workload can we ensure that teachers do their daily work well with clear responsibilities and tasks.
2. Establish a sense of efficiency
In order to reduce the workload of teachers, managers should take the lead in establishing efficiency consciousness, pay attention to guiding faculty to overcome the weakness of women's love of chatting, procrastination and weak purpose, guide teachers to plan and arrange as early as possible, firmly grasp the main line, and don't spend too much time on details; We should avoid praising teachers who publicize overtime work, consciously set an example, be fast, have good quality and high efficiency, guide teachers to pay attention to working methods and improve work efficiency. As far as possible, there is no need for meetings on weekends or after work. Most kindergartens organize teachers to study business or politics once or twice a week after work, which invisibly increases teachers' working hours. Managers can use the morning and afternoon to organize teachers who have no classes to study alone, so that although it takes time for administrators to organize learning, most teachers can be guaranteed to get off work on time to the maximum extent.
3. Reduce paperwork
Teachers' copywriting work is varied, including professional study records, educational reflections, home visits and appointments in conversation record, home visit contact manuals, activity design, teaching and research activity records, observation and case records, and so on. The complicated paperwork often makes teachers breathless. Managers should consider what to write and what not to write according to the actual work, and resolutely eliminate worthless or low-value written materials. Due to the difference of teachers' professional level, different requirements should be put forward for the necessary copywriting work in daily work. For example, senior teachers or recognized excellent teachers can be asked to write less, skim or read briefly, so that they can have enough time to study teaching practice in depth, form their own educational style and characteristics as soon as possible, and better lead the professional growth of new teachers; Young teachers or teachers with poor professional level are required to write in detail in order to accumulate practical experience, familiarize themselves with various educational and teaching methods as soon as possible, and seek a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change.
4. Encourage the enjoyment of resources.
Resource sharing can not only improve work efficiency and reduce waste, but also free teachers' time and energy, greatly reduce teachers' workload and reduce or alleviate the work pressure caused by preparing and collecting resources. Kindergartens should pay attention to the collective strength, so that teachers of the same grade can enjoy the education and teaching plan on the basis of * * * *, and then make adjustments according to the actual situation of the class. At the same time, vigorously advocate, guide and encourage teachers to reasonably exchange courseware, teaching AIDS, toys and materials created by the environment, so that teachers can learn from each other, learn from each other and improve together to maximize the value of resources and achieve the purpose of resource sharing, common progress and easy work.
Second, pay attention to the teacher's "fear" and solve the troubles of worrying about accidents.
According to a survey, 86.7% of teachers have reached the level of "talking about injuries" when dealing with children's accidental injuries. The teacher who had an accident became a "frightened bird", and the teacher who had no accident was nervous. However, when dealing with accidents, kindergartens often only pay attention to the damage caused by accidents to the image of kindergartens, and punish the responsible teachers without understanding, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury to teachers who have been blamed by their parents and caused them a huge psychological burden. It can be seen that safety is an important cause of teachers' job burnout.
So, how should managers ease the "fear" of teachers?
1. Improve the management system and formulate emergency plans.
Kindergartens should formulate a comprehensive, standardized, meticulous and operable safety system according to the characteristics of teaching, logistics and administration and the special requirements for safety. 【 The implementation and supervision of the safety work system should be strong, the division of labor should be clear, the responsibility should be implemented to people, and people should be arrested at all levels, and everything should be managed. There are rewards and punishments for the assessment and accountability of accidents. By formulating a series of post safety work responsibility system and effective supervision and management measures, the kindergarten safety system network is formed, which provides a strong institutional guarantee for intervening in the occurrence of children's accidents. However, accidents in kindergartens are hard to prevent. Once an accident happens, taking timely, rapid and correct countermeasures is the key to reduce the degree of injury and curb the expansion of the scope of injury. Therefore, under the perfect safety system, kindergartens should also make emergency plans for safety accidents according to their own actual conditions, and make clear and detailed provisions on the organization, responsibilities at all levels, handling procedures, monitoring and early warning, preventive measures and accountability of sudden safety accidents. In this way, all kinds of kindergarten personnel at all levels will not be at a loss and delay in dealing with accidents, and can play the role of prevention, monitoring, timely detection, rapid response and effective containment of infant accidents.
2. Distinguish responsibilities according to law and face security issues objectively.
Children's injury accidents are something that parents and kindergartens don't want to see. If an accident happens unfortunately, we should face it objectively and distinguish the responsibility according to law, not judge it by subjective feelings. However, at present, when dealing with such incidents, many kindergartens often take a natural attitude, at the expense of damaging the legitimate rights and interests of kindergartens, and settle disputes in a "private" way to meet the demands of parents as much as possible and ensure the safety of kindergartens. This practice, because kindergartens have to pay a certain price, often brings psychological burden to the teachers involved and produces a fear of safety. Under the background of managing education according to law, kindergartens should enhance their legal awareness, hire legal advisers conditionally, take the law as the criterion, and consciously use legal weapons such as the Education Law, the Teachers Law, the Law on the Protection of Minors, the Measures for the Safety Management of Kindergartens in Primary and Secondary Schools, the Regulations on the Management of Kindergartens, the Working Rules of Kindergartens and the General Principles of Civil Law to objectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of kindergartens and teachers. When dealing with teachers who are responsible for accidents, managers should be more understanding and caring, put themselves in their shoes, give necessary psychological counseling, help them eliminate the fear and anxiety caused by accidents, and feel the warmth of the collective. Instead of blindly blaming and reprimanding the parties, it will make them worse under the heavy psychological burden, increase their psychological burden and make them feel disappointed and helpless. Of course, accidents caused by teachers' negligence should be dealt with seriously by the responsible teachers.
Third, pay attention to the teacher's "boredom" and solve anxiety, depression and troubles.
Kindergarten teachers are people who directly follow and accompany children, and children are easy to imitate and be infected. The physical and mental health (especially mental health) of preschool teachers is not only related to whether they can concentrate on completing the educational task, but also related to the formation of children's good personality. Preschool teachers are delicate and sensitive, and have strong emotional needs. They hope to experience the warmth of the group and feel the recognition and encouragement of others, especially managers. When their emotions and needs are not met, the strong sense of loss will also cause the job burnout of preschool teachers.
So, how should managers alleviate the "boredom" of teachers?
1. Dredge bad emotions and keep teachers away from "anxiety and depression"
Preschool teachers have to face the high standards of teachers from children, families and society every day, which makes many teachers bear great pressure. There is pressure in my heart. If I don't channel it in time, the teacher is likely to vent his bad emotions on children, colleagues and even family members, causing adverse consequences. Kindergarten managers should know the psychological state of teachers in time, talk with teachers in time, eliminate doubts and misunderstandings in time, and guide teachers' bad emotions. You can also hold regular lectures on mental health, set up a mental health consultation hotline, and conduct regular mental health examinations for teachers. Only when teachers' bad emotions are reasonably vented and promptly channeled can teachers' psychology maintain a healthy state.
2. Encourage teachers to work confidently through appreciation.
When we tell teachers to look at children with appreciation and promote their development with encouragement, we should think of turning teachers into managers and children into teachers, too. Every teacher, regardless of his ability and educational effect, has his own bright spots and strengths, which need to be appreciated by others, especially managers. In ordinary activities, as long as managers find that teachers have made a little progress or gain in a certain aspect, they should use appreciative language and attitude to seize the opportunity to give incentives, so that they can establish self-confidence while feeling success again and again, so as to maintain high spirits and actively participate in intense work.
3. Meet different needs and make teachers work easily.
Needs are the source of people's enthusiasm, and the enthusiasm of people's activities stems from her inner needs. Managers should pay attention to every teacher, try to "read" the teachers, understand their hearts, carefully observe their changes in mood, performance and attitude, and try to find problems as soon as possible; We should also create enough communication opportunities to fully understand the different needs of teachers from conversation, life and work exchanges, so as to adopt different management methods for different teachers to meet their different needs in life and work. In business, we should provide different professional support for the growth of teachers at different levels. For example, provide enough learning opportunities for young teachers to go out to study more and meet their professional growth needs; Provide opportunities for middle-aged teachers to be led by experts to meet the needs of middle-aged senior teachers to form a unique teaching style as soon as possible; Provide opportunities for old teachers to voluntarily transfer jobs and meet the needs of old teachers to adjust their bodies and minds. In life, teachers should experience the humanistic care of leaders in a relaxed and harmonious environment. For example, be caring and attentive to teachers who are sick, lend a helping hand to teachers who are in trouble, and care about teachers' living needs ... These measures can help reduce teachers' work pressure and help them work easily.
In short, kindergarten managers should have more understanding, care and consideration for kindergarten teachers, make every effort to reduce teachers' burden, standardize kindergarten safety work, make them feel satisfied in heavy work, experience success, enjoy physical and mental pleasure, and constantly alleviate the job burnout of kindergarten teachers.
