Reading The Miracle of Classroom No.56 is a process full of surprise and emotion. Between the lines of the book, Mr. Rafe's educational experience and wisdom of more than 2 years are permeated everywhere. Next, I have compiled my thoughts on the miracle of classroom 56 for you. Welcome to read it. After reading Miracle in Classroom 56
At first, I finished reading Miracle in Classroom 56 with a mentality of completing the reading task, but I gained an unexpected spiritual journey, from which I learned the charm and miracle of education.
Rafe Esquires, the founder of this miracle classroom, advocates education without fear and mutual trust; He emphasized that knowledge itself is the best prize; He insists on focusing on the cultivation of children's character and inspiring children's own requirements is the foundation of achieving children's life. "Good boy, work hard!" Is the slogan of the classroom; "There is no shortcut to success" is the belief of every child in the classroom. Teacher Rafe propped up the huge classroom in Room 56 with knowledge, art and especially love. The children who came out of classroom 56, although the growth environment is not satisfactory, are not only excellent in their studies, but also humble, polite, honest and kind. This is the miracle of classroom 56, education, humanity and the great love of an ordinary teacher for a group of students! And this great teacher love itself is a miracle.
the classroom is as big as love! I can't help asking myself: How big will my classroom be? I sometimes get angry at the unexpected situation of students, so educating and criticizing students delays normal teaching; Sometimes it is because you have spent a lot of time and effort on a student, but this child has not made progress as you imagined; Or the knowledge you have taught many times, and some students still look ignorant and feel depressed, and even doubt their abilities. Whenever I face these stubborn students who give me a headache, I will think that teaching is a thankless thing, but the problems that bother me are a happy thing for Rafe. I think these are all based on Mr. Rafe's love for students, love this profession and love his post. Without love, you can't get pleasure from the profession of teacher, and only inner care and true love can create miracles on earth. Of course, it is not enough to be full of love, but also need experience and summary in teaching work. Everything moves forward from mistakes and failures. In this job, teachers really need to constantly learn from their own mistakes, constantly absorb experience, and gradually find an educational concept and method that suits them, so as to further improve.
Education is art and science. Education needs wisdom and sincerity, and more care and patience. In fact, every child is unique and has more or less problems. We should sum up our experience, get ready to go, sow seeds while walking, and water them while walking. I believe that every seedling can grow into a towering tree, and every flower can emit charming fragrance. Because: how big is love, how big is the classroom and how big is the miracle! Reflections on the miracle of classroom 56
Rafe, the author of the miracle of classroom 56. Mr. Esquires is a fifth-grade teacher in Hobert Elementary School in the United States. In this school where students from poor families and non-English immigrants are the majority, Mr. Rafe has cultivated a large number of students with excellent grades and outstanding personality with his unique teaching methods. This is a miracle. However, if we only use the word miracle to sum it up, it doesn't seem appropriate enough, because it is actually an inevitable result of paying love and hard work. The miracle of classroom 56 tells us that education is actually very simple, with only three words: love and method. However, The Miracle of Classroom 56 also tells us that it is not easy to achieve these three words.
1. share the "six stages of morality".
Mr. Rafe, just like other teachers, sometimes teaches children in some "wrong" ways. For example, use high pressure to make children afraid and obey the rules. However, his heart always thought that there must be a better way. In the first class, he will share Kohlberg's "six stages of morality" with the students.
I don't want any trouble in the first stage.
I want a reward in the second stage.
in the third stage, I want to please someone.
I will abide by the rules in the fourth stage.
in the fifth stage, I can be considerate of others.
in the sixth stage, I have my own code of conduct and follow it.
Classroom 56 is a safe haven for students, and Mr. Rafe is a gift from God. Students can enjoy the unique economic system of Shakespeare, economics and rock music classes. He let the children know about teamwork, the power of language and the attitude of dealing with money correctly. He is like a spiritual teacher to these children. Guiding students' life-long skills and cultivating their personality and beliefs.
Rafe is convinced that focusing on the cultivation of children's character and stimulating children's own high demands is the foundation of achieving children's life. He has repeatedly reminded students that the most important questions in life will never appear on standardized tests, and their character, honesty, morality or mind are the foundation of education. "No one will ask them about the issues they attach importance to in No.56 classroom: character, honesty, morality and mind. Why are we so indifferent to these important topics in life? Maybe it's because it's easy to teach honesty and morality by raising the score slightly, but it's very difficult. However, if we want to cultivate extraordinary students, we must face up to these issues. " His students are not only excellent in grades, but also humble, polite, honest and kind. They will help cleaners pick up garbage during their travels and help their peers who are threatened by violence on their way to school.
2. Replace fear with trust.
There is no word "fear" in his classroom. He uses trust instead of fear to be reliable for children. It is logical to rely on discipline and punishment and become an example for children. As Mr. Rafe said, "Children follow your example. Do what you want them to do first. I want my students to be kind and diligent, so I'd better be the most kind and diligent person they know. " Contrary to iron fist management, he advocates "education without fear" and mutual trust; Unlike the "little red flower" award, he emphasized that knowledge itself is the best prize. Teacher Rafe told the students: "As long as you try your best, the exam is not so important. Even if you fail in the exam, the sun will still rise tomorrow and the earth will not be destroyed." Failure in the exam only means one thing. You haven't understood this topic yet. The teacher will explain it to you again. " Teacher Rafe's "replacing fear with trust" caused me to reflect on this matter. The higher the voice, the more immediate the effect. The tone is often inversely proportional to the demerit, and in front of the whole class, such an expression of scolding not only makes the teacher's accomplishment roar without a trace, but also makes the children feel the existence of dignity, even invulnerable to all criticisms. Another direct consequence is: What kind of way do you treat students? It is easy to imitate yelling loudly. Because of the teacher's bad example, the first reaction in children's minds when facing the conflict between themselves and their classmates independently is not tolerance, but yelling loudly.
3. There is no shortcut to success.
Rafe's education career was not always smooth. Rafe has been thinking carefully about how to be a good teacher, but the "Three Musketeers" still hurt his feelings. And put Mr. Rafe in a difficult situation. However, Mr. Rafe was not discouraged and did not leave his beloved education career, but realized that the premise of educating children is to know yourself first. Rafe's motto for the whole class is "behave well and study hard". There is a slogan "There is no shortcut to success" on the front wall of the classroom. Rafe said, I need to be what I want my children to be. I hope they become friendly and diligent people. Therefore, I must be the friendliest and most diligent person they have ever met. Rafe spread his enthusiasm to the children. It can be said that Rafe is a gift from God to the children. What a neat and powerful slogan Mr. Rafe insisted on "There is no shortcut to success". For children, there is no shortcut to success in learning, for adults, there is no shortcut to success in career, and for everyone, there is no shortcut to success in everything. Only by persisting and constantly paying can we refine outstanding achievements.
Mr. Rafe's efforts and hardships to make the children stand on the same starting line made me truly realize the true meaning of no shortcut to success. Rafe starts from home at three o'clock in the morning for his students every day, and transfers buses several times to get to the classroom at six o'clock in the morning and leave school at six o'clock in the evening. It is free to take students to school on holidays. His so-called "devil's training", learning the "Eight Rules" explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition and repetition are all based on sacrificing his rest time and out of his love for students. It is easy to love children, but to love those naughty children, we really need the love of our teachers. Mr. Rafe never gives up or abandons the attitude of any student in the class. Rethink yourself, because our school is a small rural village, there are differences in family education. Looking back carefully, I am really fascinated by the authorities. I always think I am a responsible and good teacher. In fact, while complaining about the differences between children, I neglected that their starting lines were different. I should be more patient. Especially the children with complicated family environment in the class are hard to figure out, and their behavior is rude and too indulgent. I should take more time to pay attention to them and help them not to lose at the starting line.
After reading this book, I feel that rafe esquith's innovative educational methods have turned children into angels who love learning, and his enthusiastic educational attitude has turned the classroom into a warm home. No wonder Mr. rafe esquith created an educational miracle that caused a sensation in the United States. He was honored as a "genius and saint" by The New York Times, while "The Daily News" praised him as a "contemporary Thoreau".
Thank you for the "miracle" of Teacher rafe esquith! Miracles create angels! After reading Miracle in Classroom 56
Today, I finally finished reading Miracle in Classroom 56, probably because I expected too much from it before, and I didn't shed tears after reading it. My first impression of this book is that an ordinary teacher is teaching his teaching experience and feelings over the past 2 years, and there are no deliberately sensational words in it. But when I think about it carefully, there are still many small details that show an educator's dedication and love for education. For many teachers, teaching is a thankless thing, but for Rafe, teaching is a happy thing. As Yi Jian mentioned in the preface of this book, "What a classroom can bring to children depends on what flows in the blank space outside the classroom tables and chairs. Some classrooms of the same area are small, which makes people feel cramped and narrow; Some of them are very big, which makes people feel that they have the possibility of infinite extension. What determines the size of the classroom? Teachers, especially primary school teachers. His appearance determines the content of the classroom; His tolerance determines the capacity of the classroom.
The most incredible thing in education is that some people have stood on the podium all their lives, even obtained high academic qualifications and professional titles, but they are still laymen. He may have done a lot of work, but he is just a vassal, so he is also powerless. This point can be verified by looking at those teachers who have won the title of "excellent teacher" every year and even their works, but the children in the class are complaining bitterly, including their own children. Such people, the classroom is just a lecture place for them. They stand in the classroom every day, but they can never affect the classroom. Therefore, a 4-square-meter classroom is always only 4 square meters. Have a look at this Rafe who has been in classroom 56 for more than 2 years? Mr. Asquith, he is a person who can always find the goal accurately in education and never deviate from the runway. He has a believer-like persistence and fatherly kindness to education and students, as well as a keen philosopher, a confident expert and a brave soldier. He has wisdom and strength, so he works miracles. His No.56 classroom has become extremely open and has become a paradise where children can stretch freely and grow healthily. "Rafe extended the classroom of less than 4 square meters with his unparalleled enthusiasm for education, making it a paradise for children to stretch freely and grow healthily.
There is a story in the book: One day in a chemical experiment, a little girl was upset because she couldn't find the wick, and there were tears in her eyes. In order not to let her fall behind, Mr. Rafe decided to stop and help her. Because the wick is too small, Rafe leaned his head close to the alcohol lamp. Because he was so focused, he didn't even notice that his head was burning. In fact, many teachers can do such a thing. What really touches me is not the story or the illustration, but the words below the illustration: "If I can put myself into teaching so much that I don't even notice that my hair is on fire, then I am heading in the right direction!" Maybe it's not uncommon for a teacher to engage in teaching for decades, maybe it's normal for a teacher to make sacrifices for his work, but if a teacher can focus on teaching for decades and see this focus as a guide to the right direction, then the teacher has gone beyond this simple profession and raised it to the spiritual level, and turned this spirit into his own belief. I think this is the true meaning of education. Rafe is such a teacher, an honorable teacher model!
What the book Miracle of Classroom No.56 has brought us, I think it is a new understanding of the profession of teachers. "If I can get so involved in teaching that I don't even notice that my hair is on fire, then I'm heading in the right direction. "This sentence will also be my motto. Comments on "Miracle in Classroom 56"
Recently, the school distributed a reading book "Miracle in Classroom 56" to every teacher. As soon as I saw this book, I was attracted by the sentence "Let children become angels who love to learn" on the cover. The first part, "Home is the warmest", is deeply imprinted in my mind. As a new teacher, faced with such a reading book, I opened it with doubts, and slowly discovered that this book not only taught us how to communicate with students, but also taught us how to create miracles.
I admire Mr. Rafe's wisdom, and I am even more amazed at his humility, patience, perseverance and enthusiasm for work. Many of his ideas have benefited me a lot: "Standing up for children at any time is the best way to build trust. We don't need to talk to our children at length about how responsible we are, but ask them to put their trust in us. " "Teachers can be strict, but unfair teachers will be looked down upon by students." Remind us that "example is more important than words" and that teachers should treat students equally. We all understand these reasons, and the key is whether we have really done it.
