? I know that if you want to grow professionally, you must also give yourself the wings of reading. Because reading is the wing of teachers’ professional growth and the foundation of their careers. Professor Zhu Yongxin even calls professional reading, professional writing, and professional development the "three auspicious treasures" of new education teachers. Education is the process in which an imperfect older child leads a group of imperfect children to pursue perfection. Education is the principal leading the teacher to read, and the teacher leading the students to read.
? Why study? There is a joke: During the summer vacation of my junior year, I sent my roommate to take the high-speed rail. Before I got on the bus, I said, "I'm going to buy some oranges. Just stand here and don't move around." The roommate was stunned for a moment and said, "You will do it anytime." Don’t forget to take advantage of me!” Some people may be confused after reading this? The Chinese teacher smiled knowingly: Zhu Ziqing's "Back View". In the article, Zhu Ziqing's father sends his son to the station. On the platform, my father said: "I'll buy some oranges. You stay here and don't move around." If you don't study, won't you take advantage of it in vain? If you don’t read, what are you kidding about?
? If a teacher does not study, he cannot go further on the road of education. In other words: a teacher who does not study cannot become a truly excellent teacher. Whether we choose to read or not determines what kind of life we ??choose. Because of reading, life is no longer a pool of stagnant water, and there is no longer only one road in front of you. Even if you stop being a teacher and leave education one day, you will find that you can still live, and even live better. Our lives will be infinitely enriched and lengthened by reading. Reading will open one's heart. Teachers who love reading can provide higher-quality teaching, and more importantly, they can have spiritual enlightenment and influence on students. It will unconsciously convey the beauty of life, convey kindness, and cultivate an open mind.
? What books do you read? Read professional books: various versions of textbooks, cutting-edge subject magazines, classroom records of famous teachers Wang Jun, Yu Yingchao, Li Weidong and Cheng Xiang, excellent educational newspapers and periodicals, Chinese learning and Chinese teaching newsletters. I have always insisted on subscribing. Develop the habit of reading widely and efficiently. Develop the habit of searching for chapters and extracting sentences and diligently accumulating them. Later, I read ideological classics and philosophical (theoretical) books to cultivate my rational spirit. Read literary books, classics, literature award-winning books, fairy tales, history books, and prose poems that nourish the soul.
? How to read?
1. Read 30 minutes a day or read at least 20 pages a day.
2. Carry a book with you or open WeChat to read
3. Choose a suitable reading place and create a quiet place to read.
4. Reduce the time spent surfing the Internet and stay close to the ink and paper.
5. Excerpt and read a paragraph of text every day.
6. Record the name and author of the book you read, and write a few words of inspiration.
7. The last weekend of every month is designated as library day, and you can read leisurely books for half a day.
8. A chair and a cup of tea are a comfortable treat for reading time.
9. Join a reading organization (Metta Reading Club and Fan Deng Reading Club) to exchange experiences and make book friends.

? Reading is the best practice. Because of reading, I also achieved a breakthrough in teaching and spirituality. Reading makes my teaching present a different classroom, a different language, and a different education. Class management also changes from people-based management to experience management to the return of human nature. Reading allows me to see the vastness and richness of the world, the diversity of life and different growth codes, and the meaning of life not only in education itself, but also in feeling the joy and value of life growth. In this way, I can accommodate individual differences among students, accept the difficulty and triviality of work caused by such differences, and be more able to accept myself, face difficulties, setbacks and burnout calmly, and seek strategies to solve problems. When life comes alive, you can see the blackboard and chalk, and you can also see the spring flowers and autumn moon, the clouds rolling and relaxing, and the ebb and flow of the tide.
? My reading notes have become thicker, and my confidence in class has also increased.
? If you want to grow professionally, you must also have the courage to practice. I started attending classes in the teaching and research group, listening to lectures by veteran teachers, watching videos and CDs, looking at teaching design, and listening to lectures by famous experts. I cherish training opportunities and actively attend regular classes, seminars, observation classes, and competition classes, because open classes are the best professional development platform for teachers! Only if you dare to die in public classes can you live in home classes.
? In 2004, I participated in the district's high-quality course selection. Director Liu Yongfang and teacher Li Qiulan allowed a penniless young teacher like me to successfully advance to the city's high-quality course with my class. Then I won the Heze City High-Quality Course Competition. of first place. In the same year, he stood out in the provincial high-quality course competition and achieved a triple jump. He won the high-quality course, teaching expert, and audio-visual teaching expert all at once. Later, the school also invited tutors Cao Minghai and Zhang Weizhong, experts in Chinese education, for us. Their theories and guidance gave me a lot of nourishment, and the two Chinese language teachers in the urban teaching and research office who brought young teachers like me to the competition platform Teaching researcher Wang Jiafang, teacher Liu Xiangmei, director Liu Yongfang, and teacher Li Qiulan have played a vital and leading role in my growth.
? It can be said that the competition class is a melting pot for training me. On the battlefield of the competition class, I was tempered and honed, my wings began to plump, and my muscles began to become strong.
? For a while, I started to be lazy. During a 21st Middle School Mentor Appreciation event, Principal Li gathered together people from the famous teacher studio and said, Xianghua, your business has declined. Look, among the people in this room, except Fengying, who can be better than Xianghua? I blushed, why did Sun Wukong make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace at the beginning, no one could defeat him, but instead moved reinforcements everywhere on his way to the Western Heaven to learn the scriptures? Haven't you been trapped under Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years, stopped learning, and failed to keep pace with the times! I began to reflect on myself and became aware of my shortcomings and shortcomings. There is no limit to knowledge and no limit to teaching, how can we stop growing?
? I must build the ladder of writing. I think writing is the ladder of professional growth for teachers. Li Zhenxi said: "Actually, I am the same as everyone else - if I insist on saying that I am different from everyone else, it is that I tell stories that embody the love, persistence, confusion, happiness, methods and techniques of education. I thought about it and recorded it bit by bit, and wrote it into a book. That’s it! … Practicing, reading, thinking and recording are the keys for an ordinary teacher to become an education expert!”
? Why write?
? 1. It helps teachers sort out their teaching work, summarize teaching experience, reflect on teaching gains and losses, and continuously improve professional teaching standards.
2. It is helpful for teachers to exercise their thinking skills and improve their scientific research capabilities.
3. It is conducive to the internalization and absorption of theoretical learning and the promotion of teaching results, and helps to become a scholar-type and expert-type teacher. Teacher Wang Weishen summarized the significance of teachers' writing, which can be summarized into four points: 1. Get rid of the craftsmanship and tackiness of teachers. 2. It can make teachers’ minds clear and clear. 3. It allows teachers to have a quiet sorting out and contemplation of themselves. Fourth, it can deeply cultivate the richest part of teachers’ souls.
? Writing is a process in which the author gradually understands everything, and through writing, examines his own heart and rediscovers himself. Use writing to leave traces of time. Through writing, you can transform your external self's experiences into the wealth of your inner self. Writing is spiritual life, making yourself bright, colorful and broad. As a teacher, you must be able to write, be good at writing, and write frequently.
What to write?
1. Write teaching records? 2. Write teaching reflections 3. Write educational narratives 4. Write educational essays 5. Write educational reviews 6. Write articles with the characteristics of this discipline 7. Write research papers and research reports , Project research? 8. Inspiration points and teaching experiences in teaching, successes and failures, experiences and lessons in teaching; own feelings and students’ feelings in teaching; methods, techniques, wisdom, reform and innovation in teaching, Such as: education and teaching experiences, teaching diaries, educational narratives, and education and teaching cases, etc.
How to write?
(1) Take notes - materials you see, say, hear, think about, and read
(2) Organize - merge similar items, cross-sections, Choice, priority, sequence
(3) Think about what to write in detail, what to express
(4) Coordinate the topic, level, layout structure, how to transition, Every sentence, every paragraph, every part.
(5) Capture inspiration - a small notebook, a pen, text yourself via WeChat and record at any time.
(6) To revise - write what you think about; put it away after you have written it; read it again when you have time, revise it again, and don’t ignore every detail. Good articles are made by revising them. What kind of manuscripts are more likely to be adopted if you put in the effort in revising them: ? 1. The title is attractive? 2. Highly targeted 3. Small incision 4. Clean and concise. For example, I published "A Peek into the Spring Tube" in the Chinese Teachers' Newspaper "The Wonderful Introduction" is to use various introductions to write a lesson about spring, and "Yu Feibai's Wonderful Thoughts" published in "Shandong Education" allows students to fill in the blank spaces of the imaginary text, such as "A Chang and the Mountain and the Sea" "Sutra" imagines the difficult situation of the illiterate A Chang buying the Classic of Mountains and Seas. In the supplementary text, he realizes it and feels that it is a powerful force. "The Necklace" ends abruptly when Mrs. Flemish reveals that the necklace is fake. Imagine what will happen next?
? Principle: It is necessary to combine the reality of education and teaching, start the macro narrative from small details, and highlight the significance of innovation. If you have new ideas, even if your writing is not good enough, the editor will ask you to improve it; if there are no new ideas, there is no possibility of publication. For example, others write about how well they teach and how harmonious they are with students. You can write "Mistakes Engraved in the Heart" about your own teaching mistakes and teaching regrets.
? How to achieve a high hit rate for submissions? First: Understand the characteristics of this publication. Second: Understand the characteristics of the column. Third: Understand the editing process. Fourth: Learn to communicate with editors.
Notes on submission:
1. Submit one draft at a time. Do not take advantage of the convenience of the Internet to submit multiple drafts at once.
2. Manuscripts should be sent by email (word document attachment), do not paste them directly on the "text".
3. The name of the email should not only contain the word "submission". It is best to directly state the title of the article and the column to which it is submitted. That is, use the title of the article as the name of the letter and write it in the "Title" column below the address. Make it clear at a glance when editing and searching.
4. Please write down your contact information at the end of the article: address, zip code, telephone number, mobile phone, and e-mail.
? I continued to read and write a lot, from writing on Weibo at first, to NetEase Blog, Sina Blog, to Baidu Library, various literary websites, to writing public accounts, to writing on various websites. I published articles on major print media networks, and later, I published 17 books.
I am constantly invited to give lectures on writing and teaching. I was elected as a teacher representative at various commendation meetings at all levels, giving speeches on "I Believe You Will Shine" and "When Love Meets Wisdom", and writing "The Heart Has the Fragrance of Paper and Ink" at the Municipal Library's "Sharing Session of Top Academic Teachers" Sharing, she was invited by the Municipal Women's Federation to give a free public lecture "Famous Teachers Talk about Reading and Writing" to parents and students in the city. The scene was full of parents and students. Heze City’s “948 Radio Station”’s “Here Comes the Teacher” column invited me to be a guest many times, and the famous teacher studio reading exchange meeting. I have made many speeches as a representative of famous teachers, “Doing my best to be the best teacher” and “Reading, "Is the Best Practice", "How Do We Read Classics Today", "The Road of a Famous Teacher is Paved with Books" and "Reading, Teaching, Writing" have won praises.
I no longer write articles for publication, and I was surprised to find that the profession of Chinese language teacher actually helped me realize the "writer's dream" that was out of reach when I was a teenager. Just like this, with my reading materials and lessons in my left hand and my articles in my right hand, I became an expert in teaching high-quality courses in the province. In 2007, he ranked first in the quantification of the high school entrance examination and was awarded the meritorious class teacher of the high school entrance examination. He became a part-time teaching and researcher of Chinese and traditional culture in junior high schools in Heze City, a member of the expert pool of the provincial normal college students' professional skills competition, and a specially appointed expert of the Excellent Traditional Culture Training Center of Qu Normal University of the Department of Education. Distinguished expert of China Teachers Magazine.
In 2007, I was appointed as the head teacher of Yingcai Class 2 by the school, teaching Chinese to Classes 1 and 2. I didn’t want to be. The director of the department at that time was Wang Guangxi. He said: "You are an excellent Chinese teacher, and you must also be an excellent class teacher." I believed that you could give birth to the most beautiful flower in the world, so I took over as the class teacher. I feel that a teacher who is not a class teacher is an incomplete teacher. When you are a class teacher, you can better train yourself: 1. Overcome insomnia 2. Reduce the number of doctor visits 3. Exercise excellent eloquence 4. Develop face-changing skills 5. Improve organizational skills 6. Exercise interpersonal skills 7. Enhance collective concepts 8. Enhance competition awareness 9. Students will never forget you. More rational, stronger and more comprehensive, highly popular and rewarding. As a class teacher, you can freely connect class activities with Chinese language. Heaven and earth are the best classrooms. I have to teach Chinese in the water and flowers, and in the grass and soil. Being a class teacher has allowed me to have colorful activities and breathe in Chinese. My work as a class teacher and Chinese teaching, I am in you, you are in me, they are in perfect harmony and complement each other.
? Later, I followed Teacher Liu Xiangmei, a Chinese teaching and researcher from the Municipal Teaching and Research Office, to go out to compete, give lectures, and serve as a judge many times. She told me: You must take the responsibility of leading more people to grow. Just like when you met Professor Cao Minghai, Dr. Zhang Weizhong, Teacher Wang Jun, Director Liu Yongfang, Teacher Li Qiulan... That kind of good wind relies on the power, that kind of enlightenment. I understand: the value of a person lies not only in how well he lives, but also in the influence and help he has on those around him. Trying to help others is a greater practice and a deeper experience.
? I continue to give lectures, no longer for awards or honors; I continue to read and write, no longer for publication or publishing; I continue to go to various places to give lectures on writing and teaching, no longer for the sake of publishing. For fame and fortune. I also started taking apprentices in the famous teacher studio and grew up with them. I was included in the core team of "Poetic Chinese" by Teacher Li Qiulan of the Mudan District Teaching and Research Office. I also met Teacher Wang Jun, a nationally renowned Chinese teacher, and joined her "Wang Jun Youth Chinese Teacher Studio". I learned to integrate teaching methods and living methods. Use language to heal yourself. I also know that compared with so many Chinese language masters across the country, I am still far, far behind, and I still need to break through professional bottlenecks. I am also living more and more patterned and sentimental life. Just like what is written in Yuan Mei's poem "Moss": "Moss flowers are as small as rice, and they also learn to bloom like peonies."
? Reading with the left hand, writing with the right hand, practicing all the way, and teaching all the way. I know that the history of my growth is the history of reading to improve my knowledge structure, the history of training in classroom practice, the history of writing without stopping, and the history of research with continuous reflection. My luck lies in the fact that I discovered myself and achieved myself through Chinese. My career growth and my life growth all rolled into one. Chinese and I complement each other.
? I feel that I have experienced a wonderful teaching process: walking, upward, and constantly upward. Reading, teaching, and writing books turn thorns into flowers along the way.
? Because of Chinese, the world in front of me is bright and vast, and the sky and the earth are thick.
? Because of Chinese, I also understood Lu Xun’s words: Endless people and endless distances are all related to me. ?
? A little gain: Make a reading plan, implement daily reading, insist on writing teaching cases and reflections, do more research and revision, and then submit more articles, so that you will have more motivation. . In addition to reading and writing, you also need to take more classes and hone yourself in open classes, so that you can grow faster. I plan to spend more time in home classes. I think if the home classes are solid, open classes will become a regular class.
