An ideal teacher should be an ideal, passionate and poetic teacher.
Any teacher who wants to have high achievements and high standards must first have high ideals. There are experiments abroad to study the relationship between people's ambition level and achievement, and the conclusion is that the higher people's ambition level, the greater their achievement. As a teacher, we must set a lifelong goal for ourselves after taking up the post of education. Only by setting such a goal can we lock our actions in this goal, constantly enhance our sense of self-awareness and mission, and constantly challenge ourselves, otherwise we will take a detour and waste time and energy.
There are many similarities and differences between education and other occupations. The complexity and richness of education are not available in other undertakings, which requires teachers to have higher spirituality and understanding. Some people say that education is a poem, which can be an idyllic poem, an ancient poem or a lyric poem, with various feelings and connotations. What is the premise for educators to understand this poem? Is to set yourself a goal: I want to read. If you don't have the desire and impulse to interpret this poem, you will never understand it and write a wonderful poem. Makarenko once called his works "educational poems", which I think is very reasonable.
A rational teacher should be a restless and full of dreams. Every day of education is new, with different connotations and themes. With a strong impulse, desire, sense of mission and responsibility, we can ask questions and ask for trouble, and we can have a poetic educational life. Writing poetry requires inspiration, understanding and impulse. A real educator has such a character and always looks forward to tomorrow. When the impulse stops, education is over.
An excellent teacher must have lofty ideals, constantly set goals for himself, and be passionate at the same time. For a growing teacher, calm thinking is necessary, but more passionate. Wu Wei, an American scholar, once said a wonderful sentence in the article Passion Makes Teachers: "Teachers who want to teach well may be more ambitious and passionate in most cases." Greatness comes at least in part from talent, which cannot be spread. However, a great teacher must be a passionate teacher. "
People should dream. A good teacher should always be accompanied by dreams. When there is no dream in life, life is over and education is meaningless.
Second, the ideal teacher should be a self-confident, self-reliant teacher who constantly challenges himself.
An ideal teacher should be good at knowing and discovering himself. Why do some people in life have no passion? Because he can't find his loveliness and greatness. Knowing oneself is a profound proposition put forward by human beings since ancient times. On the issue of "knowing ourselves", we have gone into a misunderstanding for a long time. Our media and teachers ask us to treat ourselves correctly, so we always belittle ourselves when commenting, summarizing and communicating. Of course, it's okay to belittle yourself in communication, but don't belittle yourself in your heart.
A person will never surpass the goal he pursues, just as a person will never surpass his evaluation of himself. A person's self-evaluation is often a sign of his success in his career. Self-confidence makes people stand on their own feet, and proper "pride" makes people succeed. Only self-confidence can make a person's potential and talent to the extreme, and only self-confidence can make people get a "peak experience". To cultivate a person is to cultivate his confidence, and to destroy a person is to destroy his confidence.
Japanese scholar Yasunosuke wrote a book about himself. There is a story in the book: his academic performance in class is very poor. There are 500 senior one students, and he ranks more than 470. But his father was not disappointed, but continued to dig his "spark". Playing chess with my son aims to make him think quickly; Accompany my son to hunt in the mountains, praise his keen observation and constantly strengthen his self-esteem. Once he builds up his confidence, many things will be accepted naturally.
Principals should protect teachers' confidence, even pride. As teachers, we should also cherish this confidence and not lose it because of temporary setbacks. As long as a person's self-confidence is not destroyed, he is sure to succeed. When a person comes to this world, he should have his value, his stage, the role he plays and the realm he has reached. It's just that we often can't find the value of our existence and establish the belief in life. There is a book called Five Unsatisfied Bodies, which is about a young Japanese named Hirotada Ototake. He was born with no hands and feet, but he is such a person. After unremitting efforts, he was admitted to Waseda University in Japan and became the author of a best-selling book in Japan. So I think there are two important prerequisites for a person to succeed: one is to pursue success, and the other is to believe that he can succeed.
Anyone can achieve great success, and any teacher will achieve great success, but we haven't found the way to success yet.
An ideal teacher should constantly pursue success, design success, and more importantly, hit success. Because people don't know what kind of person they will become when they come to this world, only by hitting every possible dark spot can generate spark success. It is commendable that teachers have such impulse and influence. When a teacher stops stumbling, it means that he has lost the meaning of life and confidence in his existence.
Third, the ideal teacher should be a teacher who is good at cooperation and has personality charm.
Cooperation on the basis of competition and competition on the basis of cooperation are the remarkable characteristics of modern society. A teacher who is not good at cooperation cannot go far, because this society needs cooperation. The society is like this, so is the teaching profession.
Our educational objects, our students, are in a very complicated social environment and are always influenced by many aspects and levels. How teachers influence depends on the balance of power. The success of teachers' influence depends on the level at which teachers coordinate various forces and exert influence on students. A working teacher will mobilize thousands of troops to realize his educational ambition. Many teachers have good personal qualities, but they lack the spirit of cooperation and haggle with other teachers. Such a teacher won't have much promise. Cooperation is multifaceted, including cooperation between teachers, teachers and students, teachers and parents, teachers and principals, and teachers and society.
For cooperation and competition, we should establish the concept of "win-win". In the past, we often thought that there was only one winner in the competition. Therefore, cooperation is more difficult than competition. But in fact, only a win-win situation is the real competition. A truly excellent teacher should be a teacher who respects colleagues and leaders and is very good at mobilizing all factors. How to become a very popular teacher? I have talked about three elements before: transposition, respect and reciprocity.
The first is empathy. "Don't do to others what you don't want them to do to you." Transposition is the easiest to say and the hardest to do. Transposition is a challenge from psychological proposition to philosophical proposition. Philosophers tell us that "this existence" can only be "this consciousness"; Psychologists say it can't be like this. "This being" should have "that consciousness". This is very difficult. If we don't pay attention to it, it will lead to selfish departmentalism and egocentrism, and everything will start from ourselves. We know that too many egos and egos in life will inevitably lead to conflicts. These conflicts can be well solved by transposition. Therefore, at work and in life, our teachers should think from each other's point of view, so that they will not stand in front of the study room to grab time and understand and sympathize with others. Such a teacher will be regarded as an understanding teacher. The so-called "understanding" means being good at transposition. Empathy doesn't mean that he doesn't know his own existence, but that he also knows what others need, and he will extend a hand of friendship in time when others need it, instead of ignoring others' pain.
The second is respect. Respect is a very important psychological demand of people, and it is also a very high-level demand, which is produced after people's survival and psychological needs are met. Suhomlinski said that self-esteem is the most sensitive corner of the human mind. Once a person's self-esteem is bruised, he will compete with you with ten times madness and one hundred times strength. A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated. Therefore, teachers must respect the personality of others, especially the personality of students.
The third is reciprocity. Our teacher should learn to give when getting along with others. In the activities of * * *, everyone can share the results of the activities and get corresponding rewards in the activities. There is a social communication theory in the west that the balance of communication and relationship between people depends on psychological evaluation. Everyone has to pay in this process, which is the so-called cost. At the same time, everyone can get something in the process of communication, which is profitable. If this kind of communication can make him gain something, he will continue this kind of communication; If this kind of communication wastes a lot of time and energy and is not worth it, it will be terminated. However, some people often fail to see their own gains when they look at whether they suffer losses or take advantage in the process of education, which leads to various imbalances in communication.
An excellent communicator and an ideal teacher should say a little dedication. We advocate such a spirit and realm, because behind such a spirit and realm is that you can get a reward. The process of communication is actually a process of balancing interests. Haggle over the immediate gains and losses, get some temporarily on the surface, but actually lose the long-term interests, which is actually not worth the candle. In my opinion, if a teacher really achieves the above three points, he will certainly win the respect of teachers, principals, students and parents.
Fourthly, the ideal teacher should be a caring teacher who is respected by students.
The education of love is the source of educational strength and the foundation of educational success. As Mr. Xia Gaizun said, "Education without emotion and love is like a pond without water. Without water, it can't be called a pond. Without emotion and love, there will be no education. " We have many teachers who teach day after day and year after year, but he has never found pleasure in teaching and never felt a wave of love in his heart. Such a teacher can never succeed in education and can never grasp the true meaning of education.
When I was teaching in a university, the students asked me to leave messages for them when they left the school. What I write most is: tap the inner charm in your life and career. The basic thing for each of us to survive and develop is our career. Whether you are tired of it or like it is very important for the whole psychological development and your sense of happiness and accomplishment. You don't love this profession, and this profession won't love you. You don't love teaching, and you won't get pleasure from it.
We often say, "There are two buckets of grain at home, so don't be the king of children." Dealing with children is really a very annoying thing, such troubles. But I said that big troubles can have great fun, and big problems can have great achievements. If you dig into the profession of teacher carefully, you will find it really beautiful. It can be said that nothing in the world is better than a teacher's career.
Teachers should be good at discovering the fun of education, because we embrace a new sun every day and face some children with different personalities every day, and they all have an infinite future. There may be future political leaders, future Nobel Prize winners and various possibilities. As long as you take good care of them and cultivate them, as long as you help them tap their potential, their energy is infinite and will far exceed your imagination. How many times will an effort give you a return!
Teachers are a never-ending profession, which can bring people's creativity, imagination and all their energy and wisdom into full play. Is it not worth loving? Future educators should devote themselves to loving students and education. Only love can win love. You love education, and education will love you, so you can have fun in your career. If you love students, students will love you, and if you associate with them, you will forget the outside world and the troubles of life.
There are still many beautiful women in the teaching profession. For example, there are several months of holidays in a year, and you can do a lot of things you want in this time and space. Engels once said that a person's greatest development realm is to have the most leisure time to do what he wants to do. As a teacher, I can achieve the greatest success and enjoy my life. In this respect, no profession can surpass teachers. As long as you can discover and explore the beauty that permeates the education profession, you will have an impulse every day, and you will see that every student is a beautiful flower in bud. Yes, the profession of teachers may never reach the top of the professional ranking list, but I believe that an excellent and ideal teacher will definitely rank it in the top of his mind! Therefore, I think teachers should try their best to explore the inner beauty of the teaching profession and firmly believe that what they are engaged in is a career that affects people's lives and is worth fighting for all their lives. In this way, you will love it and devote yourself wholeheartedly.
Teachers love their students, and a very important performance is to trust every child. Every child has great potential, and every child's potential is different. Only by being observant, discovering the potential of each child and encouraging children to explore independently can children's talents be fully exerted.
Teachers love students, which is also the essence of democratic education. The spirit of democracy in our education is not enough. Teachers ask students to listen, teachers order students to obey, and there is too little equal dialogue between teachers and students. We often complain that society still lacks some democracy, but the foundation of social democracy is school democracy. Without school democracy, there will be no social democracy. The cultivation of democratic spirit should begin at an early age. Democracy is embodied in many aspects, including the way teachers talk and communicate with students. It seems trivial, but it all embodies a kind of democracy. In China, students sit in the classroom with dignity. When the teacher asked questions, the students answered in unison. In the eyes of foreign educators, these are incredible-how can a question be answered with one voice?
Many of our teachers, without love, play the role of "educating the police" instead of teaching and educating people; Not affirming achievements, but finding shortcomings. When children are normal and excellent, the teacher does not affirm them and inspire them, but "magnifies" his problems. So I think many of our teachers are playing the role of "executioner". In the hands of our teachers, I don't know how many Nobel Prize winners, Lu Xun and Guo Moruo, and how many outstanding talents have been lost. I always believe that a very important premise of education is love. Only on the basis of love can teachers devote all their strength, their youth and wisdom to children and education without regrets.
The author of the article "Making Sentences with Love" once described the teacher affectionately:
I came from the ancient nursery rhymes, and the timeless nursery rhymes are filled with love notes;
I came from the footsteps of youth, walking and singing footprints filled with the sunshine of love;
I come from the garden of life, and the colorful flowers are covered with dew of love. ...
In this life, I am destined to be busy with love, just like Chun Yan nesting under the eaves.
Let's be busy with love and make sentences with love!
5. The ideal teacher should be a teacher who pursues Excellence and is full of innovative spirit.
One of the biggest differences between educators and teachers is that educators have a spirit of pursuing Excellence and innovation. Many of our parents like to choose an older "experienced" teacher when choosing teachers and classes for their children. I told them, don't do this. Educators are of all ages. In recent years, most of the top ten outstanding teacher candidates in China were born in 1950s and 1960s, and many of them are excellent and very young. The teacher is not how many years he has taught, but how many years he has taught with his heart. Some people, he teaches for one year, and then repeats for five years, ten years or even a lifetime; Some people actually taught for five years. A person who has been teaching for five years is different from a person who has been teaching for one year but keeps repeating it.
An excellent educator should be a person who constantly explores and innovates, and should be a conscientious person in education. A person's success is largely due to his perseverance. You can succeed with your heart, but you can't succeed without it. Although we sometimes say that it is intentional to plant flowers and plants, but many times, after all, it is intentional to plant flowers and plants, but unintentional to plant flowers and plants. We can't forget this basic law, and we can't base our success on unpredictable luck and chance.
So I said, I don't believe you start writing an education diary today, be a conscientious person and sum up the gains and losses of education seriously. One thing, today's success, how to do it? What experience do you have? How do you feel? A contradiction happened today. How is it solved? How do you feel when you encounter setbacks today? You write these down intact. Five years later, choose the best book from those wonderful things. Those things that flash "sparks" will have a strong spiritual shock to readers.
The problem now is that many of us, excited, didn't write it down, and these "sparks" soon disappeared. You can learn anything if you make up your mind. Under the premise of heart, we can string all kinds of fragments into the most beautiful clothes. Originally, the fragments looked worthless by themselves. In fact, it is not because they are worthless, but because their value has not been discovered and used. If you combine them, they will shine brightly. Therefore, the ideal teacher should be a person with a conscience. Primary and secondary school teachers should start with recording educational phenomena and record their feelings and thoughts. String this string of "pearls" together and it is a very beautiful necklace. This kind of educational research should be encouraged. Of course, this does not rule out the cooperation between our teachers and experts to carry out some theoretical discussions, but after all, the research of educational science in primary and secondary schools is different from that of university teachers. I am really grateful to the teachers for keeping educational diaries and recording their experiences in notebooks. Perhaps this kind of book will become a masterpiece in the diary series of teachers in China in the future.
Our teachers should also create distinctive brands and play their own flags. Realistically speaking, we have many teachers now, including many excellent teachers, and the selected special-grade teachers have no their own characteristics. At present, we select excellent teachers and special-grade teachers, often according to how many works he has published, but in fact, we rarely explore his unique side. I think only by truly establishing my own style and system can I become an educator. "Style is people" can only become everyone if it forms style and system.
6. The ideal teacher should be a teacher who studies hard and constantly enriches himself.
Study hard and enrich yourself, which is the basis of becoming an excellent teacher. An ideal teacher, a teacher who wants to be everyone, and a teacher who wants to be everyone, must start from the basics and read more books in a down-to-earth manner. In Suzhou, we set up a training course for famous teachers and principals. In addition to all kinds of training such as "dialogue with masters", the most important thing is to read famous books. Without reading of the analects of confucius, Tao Xingzhi, Dewey and Suhomlinski, I'm afraid it's hard to become an educator. I am compiling a new century education library. Among them, the teachers' series not only contains the most classic and excellent overseas educational textbooks, but also the essence of famous primary schools, educational essays and educational figures at home and abroad, as well as a large number of books on humanities, nature and social sciences that broaden teachers' horizons. We hope it can become the first systematic required reading for teachers in China and become the spiritual home for the growth of excellent teachers.
Don't treat educators as mysterious people. Every teacher may become a very influential educator in China, or even go abroad and enjoy a high reputation overseas. Everyone can do it, the key lies in whether to be a conscientious person, whether to persevere and whether to have perseverance. Of course, we know that educators must have corresponding knowledge structure, educational ideas, cultural literacy, moral literacy, technical literacy and so on.
In my opinion, the most important task of a teacher is to study. It is impossible for any educator to leave the educational wealth of the previous generation. In a sense, we are communicating with the masters of the past, using the language of our times and our life experiences to explain our understanding of education. In fact, many educators just apply other people's wealth to their own educational practice and put forward many theoretical arguments. You have to explore for yourself and find the theoretical pillar and voice. Now many teachers can't find the feeling and "North". As a teacher, unlike other experts, you need all kinds of knowledge. It is difficult for a teacher with limited knowledge to really inspire his students. The younger children are, the higher their expectations of teachers are, and the more they regard teachers as encyclopedias. In their eyes, teachers know everything. If a teacher is ignorant, he will be disappointed. Therefore, teachers should improve their knowledge structure.
Teachers should also try to understand the children's world. The world of adults is different from the world of children, and the world of children has unique colors, melodies and connotations. Teachers should share joys and sorrows with them, grow up with them and become one of them. Teachers need to have a very young heart to communicate with them, understand them and get their love.
But we have always advocated the dignity of teachers and encouraged the sense of distance between teachers and students. Traditional education in China has many advantages and disadvantages. It is not good to overemphasize the dignity of teachers. Teachers should also have three calendars: education, experience and experience. This "three calendars" is an organic connection. There is no need to compile all the famous mountains and rivers. Taking Wan Li Road is as valuable as reading thousands of books. We encourage teachers to become people who explore nature, love nature, love life and love mankind. Only by cultivating such a mentality can we educate our children well.
The ideal teacher should be a teacher who cares about human destiny and has a sense of social responsibility.
Education is not only to give children knowledge, but more importantly, to cultivate students' positive life state and treat life with a positive attitude. Education itself is life. We often blame society, this is not, that is not. We curse corruption, dictatorship, despotism, relationships and all kinds of things. But we seldom think that what we curse is largely shaped by ourselves. To some extent, education is the root of a morbid society, and teachers should not shirk their responsibilities.
As an educator and an ideal teacher, he should be very concerned about society, the fate of mankind and the cultivation of students' sense of social responsibility. Only teachers' sense of social responsibility can shape students' sense of social responsibility. Only when teachers discuss the environment, population and other issues with students in class can children pay attention to these issues. How can a child be open-minded if the teacher cares about ranking all day, not grades? The school world should be closely related to the outside world, but now it is "the outside world is wonderful" and school life is very helpless. Therefore, we should make our students have the spirit of humanistic care. Suhomlinski said that when a child leaves school, he takes away not only his grades, but also his pursuit of future social ideals.
I think our education, our ideal teacher, should do this. In other words, everything we do is preparing for the future. Our education is for future education, focusing on children's lifelong education. Only in this way can we have a strong sense of social responsibility. Therefore, the social responsibility of principals and teachers affects the social responsibility of students; The way of campus democratic education! Directly affect children's lifestyle. I hope our teacher pays attention to the world outside the window.
Eight, the ideal teacher, should be a tough, strong, do not bow to setbacks.
Teachers live in different environments, some in key schools and some in non-key schools; Some are in cities and some are in the countryside. Children also have different backgrounds and foundations. People often complain: how can I work in such a bad school? I've always wanted to give him a better environment. This kind of mood is understandable, but I want to say that all environments can produce educators; All difficulties and hardships may make an educator. Maybe your mission is to lead this school and let these children develop in the best way. If the sky is a great task for Sri Lankan people, they must first put up with their thoughts and work hard to exercise their bones and muscles.
In fact, the environment is relative, not absolute. In a well-known key school, it has many norms and may have less freedom; In a little-known school, people's creativity may be brought into full play. I often say to our excellent headmaster that you can be complacent, but don't get carried away, because it is not your teaching level that is particularly high, but your students who have made you, your school and your teacher. To tell the truth, children in these key schools will play well everywhere, because they have formed the habit of self-learning, self-education and self-development in years of education. What is really important is that you should educate poor students well and manage poor schools well. So I ask our excellent schools to help or merge a weak school, otherwise we can't see what the principals and teachers of those excellent schools have really done. Someone said, "A teacher like me can only teach excellent students in excellent schools." I can't say that what he said is completely unreasonable, but I think a teacher who can only teach students well is not a good teacher; A school that only teaches students well is not necessarily a good school.
Of course, this is not the universal values of society, but my values as an education official. What I need is equal education, and I need to create equal opportunities for every child, so I will spend a lot of energy to transform and support relatively backward schools. Why are there so many key schools in Jiangsu? One of the purposes is to eliminate key points through strengthening. On the surface, it is strengthened, but in fact it is weakened. I think the education administrative departments at all levels should give important consideration to the development of weak schools. Children are born equal and should have equal opportunities for education. Education should give parents the right to choose and children the right to choose freely. What the government should do is not to ban choices, but to try its best to create a relatively fair environment for every child.
I think perseverance is very important for the growth of a teacher. He who travels a hundred miles is half ninety. Why? Because most people are discouraged and stop in the last ten miles, truly successful people will stick to the last ten miles. It depends on perseverance and perseverance. There are many, many people who shrink from the edge of success and fall short. Of course, we don't want all teachers to be ideal teachers, which is never possible, because people have different values. Some people hope to be vigorous and colorful, and hope to become respected and accomplished educators; Some people just want to be plain and quiet. We can't force every teacher to have such ideals and pursuits as I said, but I think it is a sorrow, a sorrow of society and a sorrow of education if there is no such ideal teacher on campus.
Education needs ideals. Only by burning the ideal flame can our whole nation become strong and cohesive, and we can gain a firm foothold in the competition with other countries in the world. We should encourage our teachers never to give up; Our school should be encouraged not to give up at any time, because we are close to the edge of success, we have pursued it, and there should be results. Education is an eternal cause. The pursuit of one generation of teachers, two generations of teachers and all teachers will ignite the spark of ideals on campus, thus igniting the spark of ideals for our nation. I hope the education in China is full of ideals! Our teachers and principals are full of ideals, passion and poetry!
