After reading "Students First" 1 The book "Students First" by President Li Xi, the writing is simple, the writing is simple, the content is rich, and the thinking is smart. Reading is both refreshing and instructive. In the preface, the author said: "My colleagues and I are trying to interpret the basic value orientation of pedagogy. We strive to build a school that truly belongs to children, build a stage for them, provide space and create conditions. " Through "Students First", we can see that the basic value orientation of pedagogy mentioned by the author is the educational pursuit of humanism.
First, create an atmosphere of respect for others.
The famous American psychologist Maslow's "hierarchy of needs theory" emphasizes that respect and self-realization are people's advanced psychological needs. From the "students first", we can see many examples that the administrators of this school respect students and teachers. For example, invite fresh high school graduates and teachers to revise and compile teaching materials together; Feng Jiahui, a sophomore, took advantage of President Li Xi's recess to submit a proposal to set up the Academy of Juvenile Social Sciences, which attracted the attention of the school leaders. She and several founders of the Academy of Juvenile Social Sciences won the "Golden Key" award of the first principal scholarship; In the school photos, Li Xigui tries not to be in the middle. He felt that if the headmaster put himself on the side, the whole photo would be in a good position. The title page of "Students First" is printed with the names of all teachers, including foreign teachers. Li Xigui also attached a message like this-I want to dedicate this book to my dear colleagues. President Li sincerely invites students to lunch and listens to their voices, which is a respect for others. The school board meets once a month to discuss students' proposals and ask students to explain their opinions at the meeting; At the opening ceremony, all the teachers who miss Chaos issued "passports" and signed them for all the students at the scene. The eleventh school has become an ocean of joy, and the new semester has entered the hearts of every teacher and student like an angel. It is out of respect for others that Li Xigui firmly believes that a number of great national pillars will be forged on the platform of Junior College of Literature and Academy of Sciences. Respect is an idea, a bearing, a style, and more importantly, a strength, which should be the first pursuit of education administrators to work hard.
Second, build a platform for self-realization.
Anyone's growth and the realization of self-worth cannot be separated from a certain supporting platform. Teachers are a concentrated group of intellectuals, and everyone has a strong desire for self-realization. As a manager of the education system, we should have a tolerant mind, a vision of people and the courage to employ people, and be good at building a platform for teachers and students to grow together and realize themselves. Only in this way can we create a harmonious and healthy talent development pattern.
From the "students first", we can see that President Li Xi put forward many ideas and actively turned them into vivid campus practice, so that students and teachers can show themselves and realize themselves. For example, the list of campus opportunities classifies some daily management work of the school and directly gives students what they can do; Student publishing house, which is responsible for the collection, editing and printing of student manuscripts, operates independently and is responsible for its own profits and losses; The Guinness Challenge on campus makes more students with special skills stand out and become the "stars" that people pay attention to; The student ambassador group asked the students to introduce the school and themselves to the foreign guests. Take many such activities as the carrier to remind teachers: "Students will always be the masters of the school, and all activities of the school should point to students, for students and for students' growth!"
While attaching importance to students, Li Xigui did not forget or ignore teachers, because no matter how good a principal's thoughts, ideas and plans are, teachers need to implement them to influence, guide and translate them into students' words and deeds. As a result, the Eleventh School has launched a lecture hall for famous teachers, so that some teachers who have studied in a professional field or a certain interest field can give passionate speeches in specially designed classrooms; When selecting "person of the month", as long as teachers have made touching things in a certain aspect or field and represent the mainstream values of the school, they can be evaluated; Specially set up "Young Talents" selection program for young teachers under the age of 35, set up educators' colleges and teachers' mutual aid centers, and let non-physical education teachers with sports expertise go to physical education class, and so on. The attempt of the Eleventh School is permeated with the humanistic pursuit of paying attention to the spiritual life of teachers and students and building the school into a paradise for teachers and students to grow up happily. Achievement needs the motivation of achievement. Nothing can stimulate a person's heart more than a sense of accomplishment, and it can add fuel to a person's long journey. As a teacher in a foreign language school, the Left Party should pay attention to helping students get a successful experience in the process of education and teaching, thus contributing to the healthy growth of students.
Read "Students First" 2. The feeling of reading "Students First" is the same as that of listening to the reports of four principals in Zhongguancun before. First of all, envy (definitely envy, not just envy), the heart says: wow, paradise on earth, education is sacred! How can they be so independent? Don't they have all kinds of inspections and evaluations there? Or are their principals, administrators and teachers all Astro Boy?
Occasionally, I don't think well: check this today, evaluate that tomorrow, then go to the campus and that to the classroom ... If I do this several times, even Astro Boy will inevitably "evaluate the tourist trap with dust and fireworks."
I know that this insincere speculation will become an improper criticism of "student first" if you are not careful. You should always read other people's books and think about yourself. So I reread the book "Students First" with a correct attitude, and realized the highest state of Mr. Li Xigui's management "to make everyone feel important" and his educational ideal "to let children breathe freely and grow independently". This is a collection of newspaper clippings similar to the experience report. Illustrated with pictures and texts, it is clear at a glance. It is easy for anyone to know what is written in the book and what Beijing No.11 Middle School has done. This book can get full marks for its intuitive image. If we can extract relevant concepts, principles or systematic theories, it is estimated that it will have more general guiding significance.
However, we can still read other people's books, think about ourselves and connect with each other.
Other schools can set up companies and museums, and invite celebrities such as Bai and Yang Liwei to campus to run schools in North America. How should we treat our school? Compared with the "not bad money" schools, the resource conditions of our rural schools are not backward.
Other students can receive international friends, set up a publishing house, assist in compiling teaching materials and study independently. What about our students? Compared with the student groups of the official second generation, the rich second generation and the star second generation, most of our children are agricultural Dell, industrial second generation and negative second generation, which is simply a suspended spring.
School, family, children, what can we change? What can we do?
The first is to change the concept of education. No matter rich or poor, no matter what kind of "second generation", education administrators should do their best to "make everyone feel important" and "let children breathe freely and grow independently". Including the "teacher first" that I have always pursued, inspired by Mr. Li Xigui, it is actually "student first": to establish teachers' morality and strengthen teachers' ability is to make students grow faster and better.
I want to make it clear that the "student first" advocated here and the abnormal "student first" in society are not the same concept. The parents who want to sue in the newspaper are all wrong with the school teachers, not "students first", but parents foolishly think that "my son comes first"
The second is to adjust educational behavior. Looking back on our educational behavior inside and outside the classroom, students are not the first, but teachers are the masters, and teachers can be seen everywhere. There is nothing wrong with this. After all, primary school students have a small surname. After all, there is still a long way to go before independence, and teachers are needed to help them get on the horse for a ride before letting go. Help is to let go, not to catch. What we should consider is how to realize the transition from support to release, rather than just thinking about how to help more stably. It's like teaching people to ride a bike. You shouldn't have seen a teacher riding a bicycle with a learner 100 km, and then proudly showing off: Look, how much can I teach!
Teaching is for learning. Therefore, when preparing lessons, we should gradually turn lesson plans into study plans; In the classroom, we should ignite, awaken and stimulate students' sense of ownership and make them love learning. Do students like the teaching content we designed? What content do students already understand and don't need to teach? What is useless and unnecessary to teach? If I were a student, what would I prefer to learn and how to learn it? ……
Activities are for the development of students (not for investigation or publicity). Therefore, when planning activities, we should think more about whether students like it or not, and whether students can develop after participating. What should teachers be responsible for and what can they leave to students (that is, what should be helped and what should be released)? If I were a student, what would I prefer to take part in? What do I want to try?
If we believe in "students first", we believe that students can do it. As a result, the atmosphere of classroom independent inquiry is getting stronger; The school's literary club, radio station and Young Pioneers Brigade can operate independently step by step ... students can also make suggestions for the development of the school ... students become real masters. At that time, we will be amazed: students should be the first, and students can do it!
After reading "Students First", I read "Students First" by President Li Xi of No.11 School of Beijing Normal University, which benefited a lot and was deeply touched.
The children and teachers in the eleventh school are very happy. They are enthusiastic, confident, sunny and wise. School passport, campus company, famous teacher lecture hall, school celebration, theme museum ... creative and colorful. People of the month, talented young people, informal praise, teachers' mutual aid centers, educators' colleges … Teachers' creativity is fully stimulated. Colorful campus activities make the school a paradise for teachers and students to meet the growing demand. How big a stage the school provides for teachers and students, how wonderful it will be. Countless ideas, all intentions, everything is for the development of students. Children get exercise in activities, gain growth experience and experience, and enjoy life and study in happiness!
President Li is a good manager. He turned his demands on students into their needs, making everyone feel important. This is the highest level of educational management. The school makes every detail of education into students' ideas and meets the needs of students. As a result, the whole campus has truly become a fertile ground for students' independent growth and development. Cultivating students with their own ideas is the educational goal of the eleventh school. They always encourage students to think independently, stick to themselves and criticize themselves in school life. Among them, I was deeply impressed by their "roll call class" activities. When can we design such creative and far-reaching educational activities, so that students can improve their personality through happiness and experience, respect other people's ideas and let students grow up happily!
Think about our current job and our customers. Although underage, but also have dignity, have their own ideas. This requires us to accurately grasp the pulse of students' thoughts and understand their real state and needs. At this time, communication channels are very important. President Li skillfully found several communication channels-teachers and students compiling teaching materials, having lunch with students, letting students attend school affairs meetings, letting students set up publishing houses and companies on campus, and even receiving guests from all over the world. What a direct and effective method! These things, which seem impossible to me, really happened in No.11 Middle School. Facts have also proved that children's self-financing shops can also operate' thriving', and student ambassadors have become a beautiful landscape on campus! This shows that the potential of students far exceeds the level we can think of. We need to provide a relaxed and free stage in time, respect their role as masters, and inspire these amazing potentials with full trust. Every participant feels that he is the strongest of the eleven gorgeous colors.
Some things have moved us for a long time; There are some words that we often recall; Some people keep us warm forever; There is a book that makes us grow up instantly. Walking into the book, the mind is calm and peaceful in concise words.
"Let everyone feel important", carefully ponder the classic quotations of President Li and enjoy the drizzle-like infiltration. Follow your feelings, everyone urgently needs to be recognized by others. A word of encouragement from relatives, friends, colleagues, leaders and teachers is enough to make everyone excited and perform more brilliantly. The only thing I can change is myself. My work attitude and quality directly affect the happiness of more than 60 children, more than 60 families and hundreds of people! How dare I neglect and be lazy in such an important role? What is the reason for refusing to work hard? In their daily teaching, let each of my students realize their importance to the greatest extent, let them do what they like, and let them find no reason to refuse to grow up. Do not suppress their nature, cultivate their childlike innocence and stimulate their motivation and interest. The creation of teaching situation and the presentation of teaching content highlight students' learning activities and provide students with time and space for independent exploration and cooperation. All these can stimulate students' internal drive. Only the classroom where students really move is the student-centered teaching. As soon as the child's eyes are bright, he can't control it with a wave of his hand. Isn't this the most advanced?
In fact, what children need is a smile, a compliment, a look, a touch and a hug. Let's praise and encourage children more and criticize and blame them less. More respect and understanding, less sarcasm and complaints. None of this is too much or too difficult for us, just like President Li said, "One cavity is true love, one cavity is tolerant, that's all".
Courage is the wind, blowing forward sails; Courage is a sail, which encourages a ship to sail; Courage is a ship, sailing to the other side of success. The fol
