Those who love others will always love them, and those who respect others will always respect them - Mencius Editor's note: Teachers are the basis for the great plan of education. Only with good teachers can we have good education, and teachers’ strong sense of responsibility and mission, rigorous learning, indifference to fame and fortune, self-esteem and self-discipline of personality charm and noble moral qualities can often move the hearts of students more than pure knowledge transfer. This will then have a more profound impact on their physical and mental growth. On May 5, 2010, the "National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan (2010-2020)" reviewed and approved by the State Council clearly raised the issue of "strengthening the construction of teacher ethics." To this end, this journal has specially compiled and published two articles about "teachers' ethics" to arouse further attention and attention to "teachers' ethics construction". As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in the education sector, on the eve of this year's "Two Sessions", I received a letter soliciting opinions on the "National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan" signed by the Minister of Education Yuan Guiren. After reading it, I was deeply encouraged. Over the years, The education reform we have longed for finally has clear goals and effective plans. The entire society has placed high expectations on the education sector, and describes the kindness of teachers and educators as as majestic as a mountain or as vast as the sea. However, today's education sector has not fully met society's expectations, and the behavior of many teachers has even been criticized. What’s the solution to the crux? The Ministry of Education’s “National Medium and Long-term Education Reform and Development Plan” provides an important solution: strengthening the construction of teacher ethics. years ago. I once submitted a proposal to "strengthen the construction of teachers' ethics" during the national "Two Sessions" and received a reply from the Ministry of Education. What’s exciting now is that. The government has emphasized this issue in great detail. As an experienced teacher who has been engaged in college education for 35 years, I really feel for this plan. Looking back on our own teaching experience and thinking about the various problems faced by education today, we cannot avoid the issue of "how should teachers strengthen their own moral construction", which must be paid special attention to and effective measures must be taken to achieve results. The basic point of strengthening the construction of teachers' morality is to "convince others with morality and lead by example." When teachers are engaged in their own work, "teacher ethics" are expressed in a very explicit way: how to explain the courses they teach? How to answer students' questions? How to deal with students' difficulties and achievements? How to consider the students' future Long-term development? The list goes on. But unfortunately, many teachers just recite the lecture notes and muddle along with the students. What's more, they use their bad habits and poor moral character to harm students. If teachers cannot keep themselves clean and treat their education work and students with a high sense of responsibility, the result can only be that students are unwilling to listen to their boring purely theoretical teachings, and they are also dissatisfied with their various behaviors that violate the standards of teacher ethics. Disgusted. In this way, teachers cannot have any positive impact on students' development. If teachers lack advanced cultivation and extensive knowledge, and do not have good teacher ethics, they will not be able to put themselves in the shoes of students, understand the needs of students and the confusion and confusion they face, and it will be even more difficult to feel the inner expectations and expectations of students. Lost. As a result, teachers do not know the true feelings of students, and it is naturally difficult to provide students with the most effective help through communication with students. It can be seen that only when teachers truly understand their responsibilities as teachers, constantly improve themselves, and improve their moral cultivation, can they get close to students, care for students, understand students, help students, and influence students with good teacher ethics. Only in this way can we be recognized by students and truly "conquer others with virtue." Morality comes first in everything. To build a high-quality teaching team, the first step is to build teachers' ethics. People's teachers who shoulder the important task of promoting the development of education should have good professional ethics and professionalism. Only with full love for students and a high sense of responsibility can they shoulder the important task of education. And not disappoint the people. Nowadays, when we talk about quality education, we often do not talk about moral education; when we talk about moral education, we often focus on students, and quality education is one-sidedly understood. In fact, the comprehensive improvement of national quality starts with "morality", and to teach students moral education, we must first start with the teachers themselves. Those who teach must first be taught, otherwise it will be impossible to cultivate students' moral education. Under normal circumstances, students are often full of awe and admiration for teachers, and are unwilling and afraid to reveal and communicate their true inner thoughts to teachers. This affects the actual effect of "teaching and educating". So how to resolve this paradox? We must rely on the teacher’s approachable personality.

If a teacher can put himself and his students on an equal footing and communicate with students in a friend-like manner instead of a superior-subordinate manner, students are often willing to treat him as a friend. The more such exchanges, the more the teacher's own moral character and knowledge can influence the students. This is the beauty of "preaching". This is the true meaning of "leading by example". Teachers with good ethics subtly influence and guide students through their words and deeds. Leading by example is far more effective than preaching without emotion. Therefore, teacher ethics should be the first criterion for measuring the level and quality of teachers. It is not difficult to know, but difficult to do; it is not difficult to do, but it is difficult to end. The fleeting surprise training cannot improve the professional ethics of teachers. Only by adhering to the character of "convincing others with virtue and leading by example" and practicing it consistently for many years in actual education work can we truly create a team of "noble teachers with noble ethics" teaching team.
