From August 18 to August 31, 2018, as one of the first batch of famous principals in Sanming City, I went to Suzhou and Hangzhou to study under the leadership of the leaders of the Municipal Educational Science Institute. . My colleagues and I feel the same way about our studies: full schedule, full harvest, and full confidence. Through on-the-job learning, I gained a new understanding of the role of a principal.

Expert Zhang Zhengyao pointed out in the lecture "Being a Forever Leader": "The principal must be a forever light chaser, a person responsible for life growth, and a planner for future development. A guide for professional improvement and an assistant for conceptual change. "The principal is a person who spreads sunshine, and his heart should be full of sunshine." "The title of principal is unique. He is an authority on teaching management, an expert on teaching reform, a researcher of the school, and an iconic figure of the school. All honors in the school actually belong to the principal, so he cannot compete with teachers for honors." "Really good things don't need to be advertised. The best way to practice being a famous principal is to do your job well." "A famous principal is formed naturally and can be learned but cannot be copied; it can be cultivated but cannot be maintained for life; We must believe that the peach and plum blossoms are silent, and they must work hard and wait for the flowers to bloom. "Although these words of Comrade Zhang Zhengyao are not profound, they are down to earth and I appreciate them. On the one hand, he comes from the front line. He is a "soil expert" and many of his opinions are summaries of his experience, which sounds friendly to us. On the other hand, he also taught us earnestly in view of the current tendency of famous teachers and famous principals to be utilitarian, so that we should not seek fame and reputation, but should deserve our reputation and not be distracted. I think what he emphasizes is the concept of talent of "having both ability and political integrity, putting morality first", which is in line with his life principle of "not competing with superiors, not competing with peers for favor, and not competing with subordinates for credit."

During my stay in Suzhou, the principals who left a deep impression on me mainly include: Principal Deng Dayi of Suzhou Pingjiang Middle School, Principal Dai Yong of Suzhou No. 3 Middle School, and Principal Chen Guoan of Suzhou University Experimental School.

Because the school where I studied was Suzhou Pingjiang Middle School, I had 8 days to contact, observe and learn from the first-year principal of the school, Deng. The impression that Principal Deng gave me was "generous" and "leisurely". Just like his name, he always gives people a "big" impression. First of all, he has a distinctive personality and is informal. He speaks straightforwardly and sincerely, and never leaves his hand with cigarettes. This is in great contrast to the image of a famous principal in my imagination. He said: "Culture is not created, it should be accumulated." "Anything new can be mixed in, but you have to be careful in your actions." "Education is a systematic project and is the common responsibility of the whole society. The idea that education wants to be independent is terrible. It is originally the responsibility of society, but it will become the responsibility of the school." Second, he made drastic changes and was determined to reform. I searched on Baidu and found a lot of speeches on the topics of national, provincial and municipal seminars attended by President Deng, mainly including "*** peer learning", "year-level management", "stratified teaching", and "core competencies" Cultivation" etc. As he told me, "Reform can bring doubts and gather people's hearts." Pingjiang Middle School took only more than ten years to integrate the original three weak junior high schools into a famous school in Suzhou, relying on determined reform. Third, he looks at the big picture, high places and far places. Principal Deng asked us to study domestic and international education trends, read national policies sentence by sentence, and understand the direction of our efforts. He quoted extensively from the relevant United Nations declaration on education and its huge impact on world education and even talent training. He also vividly analyzed Zhejiang’s education in recent years. The key factor for its sudden rise is the thorough understanding of the country’s policy of independent enrollment and core literacy training. In 2017, more than 490 students from Qingbei passed the college entrance examination. He also bluntly pointed out that the current policies are mainly based on listening to experts and elevating the opinions of experts to the will of the country. Therefore, principals must strive to become experts. The fourth is his tolerance for different opinions. When we exchanged questions and problems about various reforms in his school, he made no secret of it. We attended the school's administrative meeting and school council, and the decision-making was very democratic. The so-called "leisure" means that he is not as busy as I imagined a university principal. I asked him out of curiosity: "Why don't I see him patrolling classes and staying in the office most of the time?" He asked me humorously: "What do you think of the principal? What is the main job? "Actually, I also know that the principal's leadership is first of all conceptual leadership, but I can't do it well.

Of course, I also know that the reason why he can be "idle" is because he has led and built a good team. I joked with the students: "In Pingjiang Middle School, everyone from the lesson preparation team leader to the grade director to the vice principal , give a lecture to talk about education, everyone looks like a principal. The principal of such a school does not have to be as trivial as us, but it can still be meticulous. ”

? Because it coincides with the "Ninth". The 2018 Yangtze River Delta Basic Education Classroom and Teaching Reform Forum - Teaching Reform in the New Technology Environment was held in Suzhou No. 3 Middle School. I was fortunate to listen to Principal Dai Yong’s speech and enter the classroom of Suzhou No. 3 Middle School. Principal Dai Yong gave people The feeling is "wise and elegant". In the forum, he made a keynote speech on "Promoting the School Education Informatization Project and Seizing the Future Education Development Highlands". With a doctorate abroad background, he introduced to the participants the origin and process of the informatization construction of Suzhou No. 3 Middle School. and have a profound impact on teaching. Under his leadership, "education internationalization" and "education informatization" have become the two major educational themes of Suzhou No. 3 Middle School. He admitted frankly that "the gap in education is actually the gap in teachers' growth."

After listening to the lecture "Practice-Based Principal Leadership" delivered by Principal Zhao Jiajun, a special and senior teacher at Soochow University Experimental School, Only then did I meet Principal Chen Guoan up close, and I was "surprised" by him. First, his shawl-long hair. Only the open Suzhou can tolerate him. It is rare for a Chinese principal to show off his personality like this. The second is his high education. We focus on the school’s chief architect and leader, Chen Guoan, a scholar-type principal with charming personality, teaching charm and passion for innovation. At school, teachers and students all call him "Teacher Anzi". In fact, in addition to being the principal of the Soochow University Experimental School, "Teacher Anzi" is also a professor at Soochow University. Precisely because he has seen many good universities, when he was running a basic education school, his starting point would not be low, the structure would not be small, and his vision would not be narrow.

The key to a career lies in people. The principal is the soul of a school. A good school must have a good principal. It is said that Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the highlands of education in China, and their dedication to cultivating a team of outstanding principals should be one of the magic weapons for success.
