In September, 2005, the teachers and students of this school studied the spirit of Anqiu Middle School, and all the students of Grade One (1), under the leadership of the head teacher Zhao, issued the initiative of "building up self-confidence and working together …" to the teachers and students of the whole school. Then all the teachers and students cheered and shouted, "I have confidence, I work hard, I am the first!" " Knowing middle school students has unlimited potential. Self-improvement, I want to work hard and I want to succeed! "It opened the prelude to the school's education of" strengthening self-confidence and tempering will ".
Since then, all classes in the school have their own self-confidence slogans, such as "I am successful, I work hard, I am confident" in Class 6, Grade 2007. Class 7, grade 2007, "Looking for poems for everyone, staying for guests to listen to mountain springs." Class 8, Grade 2007, "Believe in yourself, you have unlimited potential, study hard and you will succeed."
Class 4, Grade 2008, "glorious discipline, shameful violation of discipline, perseverance and hard work, 1 Class 4, Grade 4, always strive for the first place." Another example is "Welcome a Happy Tomorrow with Full Enthusiasm" by Class 2008 10. Class 3, Grade 2008 "Yang deserves heaven, but not others." The table is short and easy to remember and read. Each class uses all kinds of time, such as shouting slogans before morning reading, before class and after school, and using various forms of gatherings to remind all students to believe in themselves, which will surely succeed. Students' self-confidence is enhanced through persistent self-confidence education in all classes, daily persistence and continuous strengthening.
In Jiefang Road Middle School, many students have a growth file in their schoolbags, which is about the size of their exercise books, but it has special significance. Although simple in appearance and simple in binding, it is rich in content, including weekly memorabilia, I am at school, I am at home, group review, daily homework, messages from parents and teachers.
Reflect your heart and record your growth trajectory.
The reporter saw in the student's "growth file":
It's terrible. I may not get 80 points today. I wish I could retake the exam. I should have known why I did it today. Well, it seems that I really have to work hard, or I will die. I will find a piece of tofu and kill it.
I recite some strange words every night, and the next day I will ask Zeng. When I asked him all kinds of questions, I felt a sense of accomplishment. Later, he couldn't stand it. He answered blows with blows and asked me a lot of unfamiliar words. As a result, my vocabulary has greatly increased recently.
-I thought of a way to watch TV by myself. Pull it out before doing your homework. When I can't help but turn on the TV, I will think of the reason for unplugging it. I can also write a sentence on TV: "Don't touch me, be careful of addiction, there are only XX days before the final exam, bear with it!"
I've been thinking about it for a long time. How useful is the mobile phone to me? A week later, I finally made up my mind and gave my mother my mobile phone. My mother kindly said to me, "My child is one year older and more sensible." I feel that my mother is very pleased.
Li Jianchun, director of the Political and Educational Affairs Office, said that Jiefang Road Middle School has achieved good results since it launched the "Growth File" in 2002. Only children lack understanding and being understood, but they have a strong desire to communicate, and "growth files" play a role in communication. As one student said, "The growth file is my closest friend. It records my bit by bit and is the epitome of my junior high school life. " At the same time, the "growth file" is also an important window for teachers to understand students. Every Monday, the most urgent thing for the class teacher is to look through the students' "growth files" to understand the students' thoughts, study, life and emotional state in the past week, find problems from them, and propose solutions to the problems with other teachers.
In the "growth file", "teacher's message" touched and encouraged students:
-Wen Ting, you are respectable. In the face of attack, you didn't lose heart, you didn't give up. You are brave, and your tenacity makes the teacher proud.
-You learned to care about others and learn to be grateful. This is a very valuable mentality. Old people have to leave after all, and the best reward for them is to become the useful people they expect.
-Cao Yang, you and Xi Zi are friends and competitors. This is the realm of friends, encouraging each other and never giving up. Very good!
Your final exam manifesto is very inspiring. Young people in their prime should be like this, full of pride, always going forward and invincible.
Teacher Chen, the head teacher of Grade Two (10) class, said with emotion: "Growth files" have narrowed the distance between teachers and students. In the eyes of students, we are teachers and friends. The class is more cohesive, each student has a strong sense of belonging and a stronger learning atmosphere. Watching them grow up happily and sharing their happiness, we are really happy as teachers.
In each Growth File, a series of family conversations between parents and children are sincere, straightforward and touching:
Dear mom, what happened tonight (the quarrel between you and me) really made us both unhappy. I couldn't sleep in bed afterwards, so I got up the courage to write this letter to you. Mom, in fact, I might as well compare you to water and me to a fish. Fish can't live without water, because it is water that feeds them. ...
When I was a child, I always felt that as long as my parents were there, everything was no longer terrible, so I longed for the door of their room to be open every night. /kloc-when I was 0/0 years old, I had my own little secret-lying in bed listening to pop music. At this time, I hope that door will not be opened; The pressure of study is increasing. What accompanies me every day is a desk full of books and a lonely desk lamp. At this time, I long for the gentle lights and their smiling faces in my parents' room, and I long for the door to be open forever.
Daughter, my mother also wants to tell you that you are a middle school student now and should have your own thoughts, friends and privacy. My mother will always respect you, but don't forget that my mother has always been your good friend. Don't ignore her just because she has grown up. I will chat with you, play with you, even laugh with you and cry with you as before. Daughter, what my mother wants to say most is that everyone encourages each other and does their job well. I believe you will be a middle school student with excellent academic performance, and my mother will be an excellent civil servant. We will all be the best.
-After the parent-teacher conference, I lost my temper with you for the first time, and I have been very calm. I said something radical, which made you misunderstand that your mother is too realistic and has the idea that "grades determine treatment". But son, can you understand mom's feelings? Son, after I calmed down, I analyzed the reasons for your poor performance in this exam: first, you relaxed your requirements and felt that you were ok; Second, my mother is busy at work these days, and she has no time to care about and urge you except for house decoration, which encourages your self-righteousness. Don't lose heart, son, cheer up, you can still catch up.
Parents highly praised the method of "growing files". A parent wrote: "In recent years, parents and children have grown up together with the' growth file'. We look forward to seeing it every week, because we can learn about the children's truest inner world on this bridge and communicate with them as friends. Many parents sort out their children's "growth files" in each issue and keep them carefully. They said that when the child grows up, it will be different to take a look again, because this is the road he has traveled with the child.
Curriculum reform has brought about the rapid growth of teachers and the healthy development of schools.
Through the study and personal practice of the relevant theories of the new curriculum, teachers have a deeper understanding of the learning methods of guiding students to be independent, cooperative and inquiring, the spirit of the new curriculum and the new curriculum standards, the transformation of teachers' roles, and the reconstruction of the relationship between teachers and students, and gradually formed educational concepts such as people-oriented, lifelong learning, health first, democracy, development and cooperation, and consciously integrated these new concepts into their own teaching.
Through more than three years of experiments, most teachers realize that interesting activities are the most important way for students to acquire knowledge and exercise their abilities. Interesting activities conform to the psychological and physiological age characteristics of junior high school students, so that they can get direct experience and personal feelings and have a strong interest in activities. Therefore, teachers consciously integrate knowledge imparting and ability training into interesting activities in their own subject teaching, which improves students' learning enthusiasm. Many teachers also take the initiative to transfer autonomous, cooperative and inquiry learning methods to their own subject teaching, which is contrary to the traditional teacher monologue practice, so that students can find a large number of relevant materials and discuss, evaluate, explore and communicate with teachers. Students are interested in this and have high enthusiasm, which unconsciously improves the teaching efficiency; Teachers have also been liberated from the heavy homework and achieved good results in killing two birds with one stone.
After some exploration, the school has gained direct experience in the leadership, management, organization and implementation of curriculum reform research, and has embarked on a road of curriculum reform experiment that conforms to the actual situation of the school, laying a solid foundation for continuing to deepen curriculum reform in the future. The school has also introduced a lot of city-wide experience, which has certain reference significance for other brother schools to explore in this regard.
With the work of curriculum reform for more than three years, the educational connotation of the school has been continuously enriched, and the educational and teaching achievements have been steadily advanced. Municipal media (Zigong Daily, Zigong TV Station, Zigong Radio Station, etc. ) Publicized and reported the school's curriculum reform and related activities for many times, which expanded the school's social influence and created a good living environment for the school. The administrative department of education and the College of Education have repeatedly affirmed the school's curriculum reform work and widely promoted it throughout the city. Taking this school as the blueprint and leader of the junior high school curriculum reform experiment in the city has improved its popularity in the city's education system and won a good public opinion environment for its development.
In July, 2002, the school joined hands with the middle school attached to Peking University to enjoy the resources of famous schools and jointly build a "distance education demonstration school attached to Peking University". In February of the same year, he won the first prize of the first information technology TV competition in the province. In April 2004, Zigong students won the first prize in the 10th National Informatics Olympic Competition in Sichuan Province. In September, the computer contest 1 won the second national prize and the third national prize; In 65438+February, the school was rated as the advanced unit of information technology innovation practice in the whole province. In March, 2006, five primary and middle school students in Sichuan won prizes for their computer works, among which Gu Kexin's Voice of people in Xizang won the first prize and Peng Cong's Beijing Olympics won the second prize.
