With the passage of time, the accumulation of work experience and the improvement of theoretical level, I gradually realize that bitterness, tiredness, difficulty and annoyance are related to the characteristics of class teachers' work, but they are also directly related to the working ideas, methods and art of many class teachers. Taylor, a famous American management scientist, said that you can find the best way to do anything. The work of the class teacher is no exception. A class teacher should constantly reflect on himself, sum up himself, improve himself, liberate himself, and be a relaxed, happy and intelligent class teacher.
I tried to apply some management principles to class daily management and achieved good results.
First, the goal rule
There is a famous saying: If you want to build a ship, don't hire people to collect wood or assign them any tasks, but stimulate their desire for the ocean. This is the power of the goal. The law of goals requires people to be good at setting clear goals no matter what they do, and make unremitting efforts according to the requirements of the goals in order to achieve unexpected success.
Class objectives have the functions of guidance, encouragement and evaluation in class management. The head teacher should put forward a clear goal according to the actual situation of the class, and then combine the characteristics of each student to guide them to set their own goals and let them work hard under the drive of the goals.
Thanks to the enlightenment of Benesch Yamada, a famous Japanese marathon runner, who won the world championship twice, it is not that we have no goal in life, but that we always can't enjoy the joy of success because of the long journey and often give up wearily halfway. So I break down the big goal into small goals and realize them step by step.
I taught an experimental class from 65438 to 0999. I remember that at the beginning of the construction of the class, the class goals set by my classmates and I were divided into short-term goals, medium-term goals and long-term goals. The short-term goal of the class is to form a good class spirit and style of study and build an excellent class collective; The medium-term goal is to achieve excellent results in the college entrance examination, and every student has a higher development platform; The long-term goal is to make every student become a high-quality outstanding social elite. Obviously, if the goal of our class is only a long-term grand goal, it seems to the students that this goal is too far away from them, and the pace will gradually slow down in the process of realization, and the courage will gradually lose, and the final result will be to give up.
As it turns out, that class is one of the most successful ones I have ever taught. The class style is positive and the style of study is strong. It was rated as an excellent class group in the province, and the college entrance examination was also a great success. Nowadays, many of them have made achievements in their posts and made remarkable achievements. Every holiday, they also called me to tell me that although the class was dissolved, the class goals remained in everyone's heart and became a lasting force to motivate them to work hard in their respective posts. Or/kloc-Emerson, an American philosopher and poet in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, put it well: the whole world gives way to those who are bent on their own goals.
Second, the fish tank rule.
Experiments show that goldfish stay the same in a fish tank for a long time, but it grows several times in a short time in a fountain! There may be many reasons, but there is a common premise in any case, that is, fountains are much bigger than fish tanks! The law of fish tank enlightens us that educators should get rid of unnecessary worries, let children touch all kinds of things as much as possible, and let children experience all kinds of experiences by themselves. Parents and teachers should not force their children to do things they don't want to do. Compulsory education brings the rebellious psychology of the only child.
The growth of students needs free space. Giving students some freedom shows that we trust and respect students, and the students who get trust and respect will respect and care for us more.
When I was a class teacher, I always worried about my students and stared at them all day. Later, the students gave me advice: Teacher, why do you always don't believe us? Aren't you tired? I feel ashamed to hear that, but in fact, I feel tired! As Rousseau described in "Emile": "They just barely get along. The student regards the teacher as a disaster in his childhood, and the teacher regards the student as a heavy burden and wants to unload it; They are also looking forward to getting rid of each other as soon as possible ... "
As a teacher, students must not be regarded as ignorant "cattle and sheep" and tied tightly with a rope, so that they lose the freedom to grow up; But to untie their "reins", let them gallop freely, and increase their knowledge, talents and courage in galloping.
Three, two eight rules
There is a rule in enterprise management: 80% of the company's wealth is created by 20% of people, which is the "28 rule". Enterprises mainly manage 20% of the backbone, and then use 20% of the minority to drive 80% of the employees to improve the efficiency of enterprises. From the perspective of enterprise management, the 28 th Law actually focuses on "the power of example"; In fact, isn't class management like this?
As the saying goes, "the train runs fast, all by the front." Building a team of class cadres with enthusiasm, ability and prestige is very important for class development. The collective appearance of a class is largely determined by cadres. Cadres play an important role in the class collective and can be said to be the right-hand man of the class teacher. Some class teachers have to do everything themselves, but instead "force their subordinates to be weak soldiers", which is not conducive to students' independent growth. Cultivating a strong class cadre team is not only conducive to stimulating students' subjective consciousness, encouraging students' innovative spirit, improving students' practical ability and cultivating students' sense of cooperation, but also liberating the class teacher himself. Why not?
Of course, excellent class cadres are not "born" and need careful observation and patient training from the class teacher. Xiao Chao, a senior three student in 2003, is very capable, bold and innovative in class management and resolute in doing things. However, his usual work is too strict and his relationship with his classmates is not harmonious enough. He was very upset and finally submitted his resignation report to me. To this end, I gave him patient guidance, helped him analyze the reasons, and made him change his working methods. The relationship between cadres and masses in the class was harmonious, which greatly enhanced the cohesion of the class.
With students' self-management, I became a student's assistant.
Fourth, the law of horse flies.
Why do horses always give people a feeling of vitality? Because horseflies don't relax when they bite. From a certain point of view, the class is similar to a group of horses. Those students who are distinctive, unruly, capable and full of questioning and challenging spirit are the "horse flies" in the class. In the class, they are often called "problem students" and "tartars", and even blacklisted by some class teachers because they are difficult to manage. In fact, if the head teacher is good at supervising and managing these so-called "thorns", he can often receive unexpected educational effects.
A high school class I took over one semester was identified as a problem class by the school. The class style is not correct and the style of study is not strong. The well-off class in the class, in particular, is a typical "thorn in the side" and is famous for its frequent violation of school rules. He has long yellow hair and likes to wear strange clothes, but he is versatile, popular and has great influence and appeal in his class. The school holds an art festival, and each class should choose a student to participate in the school singing competition. The students unanimously recommended Xiaokang. I asked Xiaokang: Are you willing to win glory for your class? Xiaokang said happily: Yes, yes! In the next few days, Xiaokang was very busy. The day before the competition, I found Xiaokang and asked about the preparations for the competition kindly and carefully. Xiaokang was flattered, but I didn't expect the teacher to value him so much. He patted his chest excitedly and said, don't worry, teacher! I gave a thumbs up: well done! He took the opportunity to point to the well-off "hair" and clothes and said, I'm afraid that won't do. Look ... Xiaokang immediately said, teacher, I'm going to have a haircut this afternoon. On the day of the art festival, Xiaokang stood on the stage like a gentleman, dressed neatly and with short hair, and the audience applauded. The students marveled: Is this a well-off society? ! Xiaokang's singing was a great success!
When I entered the class, I lost no time in saying: Students, the new semester should have a new look, and we should all start from the "head" like well-off students! The classroom rang with warm applause again. Since then, driven by the well-off society, many boys in the class have kept their hair short like a well-off society, and the class discipline has also been greatly improved.
In fact, every class has a "horse fly" like Xiaokang. As long as the head teacher is good at discovering and using their bright spots and giving positive encouragement and spur, he will receive good educational results.
Five, the hedgehog rule
The hedgehog effect comes from a fable in the west. It is said that in the cold winter, two hedgehogs should keep warm together. At first, because the distance is too close, each thorn will make the other side bleed profusely. Later, they adjusted their postures and pulled apart a proper distance from each other, which not only kept each other warm, but also protected each other well. In dealing with interpersonal relationships, including the work of class teachers, we should be good at using the "Hedgehog Rule".
Intimacy is considered by many people to be the best relationship in interpersonal communication. In fact, this kind of zero-distance communication often hides some crises. I remember when I was a class teacher, I was "mixed" with the students because I was close to their age. I often take my students to go for a spring outing, climb mountains and play ball games. Become a veritable "king of children." Some boys even call me "brother". But children are children after all. They are too easy-going to meet the head teacher, so they make mistakes constantly, make big mistakes often, and the class discipline is in a mess. The class always counts down in various school assessments. I know that my first job as a class teacher failed.
Later, I learned my lesson. As long as I take over the new class, I always keep a straight face in front of the students and teach at every turn. The class seems to be very good. We have always been the top class in our school. I feel that I have become a "successful class teacher". In a composition class, I arranged for students to write a composition on the topic of "teacher's smile". Several courageous students are whispering below: the teacher never laughs, so how do we write? Only then did I realize how far away I am from my students!
The experience of two failures tells me that teachers should not only be considerate of students, but also be strict with them. It is not only necessary for teachers to keep a proper distance from students, but also necessary. French President Charles de Gaulle is a successful example of using the hedgehog effect. He has a motto: "Keep a certain distance"! Keeping a proper distance between teachers and students does not mean that teachers do not love students, nor does it mean that students do not like teachers. The key is to grasp the "degree". In class management, the head teacher should be good at grasping the appropriate distance between teachers and students, making the relationship between teachers and students more harmonious, which is conducive to the development of students and the progress of the class.
Education is the art of releasing the soul. Good winds use their power to send me to the sky. As long as we carefully observe, seriously think, be good at summing up and constantly learn from good educational concepts and methods, we will certainly be able to do a good job as a head teacher, make students healthier, make the class more harmonious and make ourselves happier.
