Read Li Zhengtao 14: Education will eventually lead to life consciousness

If you are often between an observer and a participant in education, wandering between educational actions and reflections, and switching between different educational roles and scenarios, you will inevitably fall into pain and sometimes confusion. , and even tend to show split personality.

How does education happen? How can you be sure that you and your team are truly promoting the positive and effective improvement of education? Are there different paths leading to the same destination in the process of education? In other words, does the promotion of school education rely on unified actions, unified time, or unified goals? Is it based on collective advancement or the colorful and diverse efforts? It is said that the greatest secret of education is love. How to express love? What eyes are the eyes of love? What educational behavior is motivated by true love? Is it because I love you that I need to say it out loud right now, or is it self-emphasis on "I am you for your own good"? How to achieve dialogue between educators and their hearts and consciences in love?

Zhengtao said, "Giving teachers love, understanding, warmth, and rational criticism is the basic responsibility and obligation of society for education." If teachers do not feel the love and goodwill of management, if If teachers do not work surrounded by love and tolerance, if teachers are not forgiven for their innocuous mistakes, if teachers are not consciously brought to the larger world to feel the vast nature and existence, how can it be like Fanglong's "tolerance" that cannot be tolerated? Explore in a tidy way.

"In the world of being an educator, there are questions like: Why do I want to be a teacher? What kind of teacher am I prepared to be? How do I become such a teacher? Be a good teacher As a teacher, what do I need to do most? What should I change? Let these questions echo in my mind, understand them, and answer them, which is the homework of a teacher’s life. ”

, a famous teacher - a famous teacher - has a ready-made path to follow, and construction is carried out according to the drawings, many people have received flowers and applause, but, perhaps, we can see that the master - the teacher of understanding - is the real The charming teachers and "uncrowned kings" are the most valued treasures of the principal and management. However, among the two, only teachers who constantly reflect, reflect and question their original intentions can achieve the evergreen tree of educational life.

“The life of a teacher that I expect is like this: exhaust one’s youth, invest in love and compassion, respond to the worldly affairs of education, reflect the spirit of education, place the soul of education, and convey all kinds of things that come from the growth of life. Fresh news is just to help those young faces move towards their own youth and experience their own love and compassion."

Zheng Tao repeatedly mentioned the "compassion" of educating people. Obviously, compassion is great love, the ultimate concern for educating people, and a major life lesson that needs to be taught to cultivate. "The soul of an educator is a mixture of elegance, dignity and sweetness, as well as anxiety and pain. In the souls of educators throughout the ages, the rarest qualities are compassion, tranquility and calmness. Compassionate people often respond to the pain of growing up in life. Full of sympathy for tragedy, he knows that not all education is helpful to the growth of life, and not all education can help relieve the pain of life. Sometimes education itself can aggravate this pain and increase the load of life. Compassion in education lies in the compassion for the pain, setbacks, failures and various crises that life will endure in the process of growth. It lies in the sensitivity and awe of all these crises and encounters in the face of educators with compassion. Facing the lives of those children who are growing up with difficulty, there is a smile on the face, tenderness in the heart, and tears or blood in the depths of the soul. ”

Since education can lead to success, it will also lead to success. Since failure can promote growth, it will also lead to degradation. Since it can bring about the improvement of some people, it will inevitably lead to the frustration of others. Since it can lead to progress, it may also lead to collapse. Since it can lead to prosperity, it must also lead to failure. A messy situation.

The same is true for schools. They are just a fertile soil and a pond. They can produce outstanding alumni in the future, but they can also create misfortunes that people avoid talking about. This is real education, this is the essence of school. A school's brilliant achievements are only a high-profile success in the school's development history, that is, it has reached the ideal state of the zone of proximal development. A school's desolation or loneliness is also the result of the situation being stronger than the people. Looking at the long history, There are many famous schools that have become a thing of the past.

"People have given the 'teacher image' too much beauty, too much happiness, too much tenderness. In the real life of teachers, they are mostly an imagination and have probably become an appearance. , or even an illusion. The cruelty, the coldness, the pain and hardness that teachers experience in their daily lives are the secrets of teachers that are unknown or unwilling to be disclosed or faced." Behind the scenes, people often experience many burdens of life. It is exactly the same as the life trajectory of ordinary and extraordinary people revealed by Romain Rolland's famous saying. There is only one kind of heroism in this world, and that is to recognize the truth of life and still love life. people. Many teachers seem ordinary and great, and this is exactly the kind of life they lead. Whether you praise him or not, he is standing on the apricot altar, unmoving in the wind and rain, with his long sleeves dancing, using his knowledge and personality, his original intention and mission, to integrate the feelings of education with life.

"There is a common teacher disease, which is the obsession or obsession with teaching techniques, methods and operations. They push away the books, abandon the theory, spread their hands: Please tell me how to operate! This is too I fully understand and respect the habits of many teachers. However, I insist that this is a disease that must be cured.

And a truly great educator is not only a disease. They are not managed, or even deviate from the basic laws of management. They are not obedient to management, but are leaders of the times. They are Prometheus who light the torch, and they are the lamplighters of wisdom. However, the truly great educators are those who are unaware that they are the kind of people who burn themselves to illuminate others. There is never any sorrow or sadness in their eyes. They must be people who never regret as their clothes grow wider.

"Educator's self-examination is a required course. An educator may be self-centered, but this does not mean a thorough understanding of self-life. That unbreakable self-life The center is often hollowed out and abstracted. When facing students, educators need to turn to themselves and ask: 'Who am I?' as the poet Yang Jian once said. Chanting: 'From time to time, I have to put it down and study my existence carefully. No matter where I am in this world, I can't make it unclear. '" We not only have to ask students, who are you, why are you here, and where will you go. However, we should always ask ourselves the same "three questions in life".

Just as a new colleague realized at the beginning of the school year, we and our students are here to arrive at each other. We may have our own futures, or we may go our separate ways, but we are happy and yearning for our lives. We will never abandon our mission in this life until we say goodbye to the final individual in our life. "It is difficult to educate children without a sense of guilt for children. If educators always hope that children will be grateful to themselves instead of feeling sorry for their work, educators will become out-and-out takers: before giving The soul of a great educator is a debtor, not a creditor, but a debtor to the children he teaches."

Educating people, in fact, always involves feelings of guilt and even atonement. Am I really in education? Am I really contributing to their growth? Am I worthy of the generous salary? Am I pursuing material and worldly pleasures that are worthless and fleeting? Has my soul become my capital for teaching? "Reform is the fate of teachers and the food for their growth. But many teachers do not have the hunger for reform. Teachers who are hungry for reform are blessed. Growth is an inevitable gift to them."

It is change. , or reform, this is a question, a question that always requires vigilance. "Where is the brilliance of education? It lies in the power to grow life. It lies in the loving eyes and tenderness of the educator..." A truly senior educator can find similar people among his peers because he sees their tender eyes. , hear their humble language, feel their wit and passion, and even smell their love. They are the "world ministers" and real "masters" of the school. Even if they leave one day, they will still become Be a monument to the school and an eternal cinnabar in the hearts of students.

"Successful education is most afraid of the educator showing off himself in a solitary way, and most afraid of him becoming the Greek Narcissus who is obsessed with his own reflection in the water." Therefore, I once wrote such an impromptu statement, and got Then let go, let go of those names, and despise those benefits. Fame is just the recognition of the past, and benefits are the comings and goings of the world. Only the beauty of the process is the full meaning of education and life. "How a teacher views life will determine what kind of life he will have, and what kind of life his students will lead accordingly."

When to teach, what is teaching, when not to teach, and what is not teaching . Sometimes rituals are required, and sometimes they are not. In other words, teaching is everywhere, as is learning, and it is not determined by subjective will. "The sensitivity of an educator is usually reflected in his sensitivity to students' flaws and shortcomings, but rarely in his sensitivity to his own shortcomings. If an educator can develop sensitivity to the lack of his own life because of his sensitivity to students' shortcomings, This kind of education is no longer just an education for the educated, but also an education for the educator himself. ”

An educator is actually a person who observes and reflects on himself. A person who lacks introspection, a self-centered person, a person who only cares about teaching or indoctrination, a person who seeks his own bonus and pride in scores, a person who imposes his own pain on teachers is not only incompetent. Educators who are poor are even the chief culprits in leading themselves and their students to setbacks in life. "Exposed to the vast growth of life, the educator is humble, reverent of life, and deeply loves the ordinary and warm life details in educational life. He is obsessed with the power of educational language and longs for every word to be radiated in the classroom. The luster of wisdom and the far-reaching poetry. ”

Language is the foundation of a teacher’s life, because language is the oldest symbol in the history of human civilization, and it is also the essential element that distinguishes the biological world. "Seeing the numb, stiff, and indifferent faces of some teachers, I feel heartache, for their students, and for their future. Maybe, many years later, those who walk out of the school will be the same numb, indifferent faces, with hidden things inside. It is a cold soul. "This has also become a cruel truth in the education world, which is lingering and requires continuous improvement and change, but this road is very long and has no end.

"Every industry has its 'bad habits'. Compared with 'being a teacher', the bad habit of teachers that I find more intolerable is 'not loving learning' and being insensitive to 'learning' and self-change. I The confusion is unstoppable: How could this become a bad habit of "teachers"?

Any teacher is no longer qualified to teach when he gives up learning. At this time, teaching is just a job and has nothing to do with his mission. It doesn't matter anymore. "Teachers are people who take the classroom as their profession and make a living from the classroom. The classroom is the teacher's star and earth, and it turns the teacher into a person who reaches heaven and earth and stands upright." I completely agree with this point. One's own experience and even the life of education are used to express consent. "Students have the most abundant possibilities and are the most unresolved lives, waiting for educators and their future selves to turn these hidden possibilities into clear realities." "Students are people who learn to learn and develop themselves. Students , is a person who learns how to educate himself well. ”

Students are the lives in learning, and teachers are helpers. If we realize the essential meaning of life education, then teachers are in this meaning. Above is the angel. "Educators create a mountain top for students and tell them that this is where they want to go, and then climb with them to reach the top together. The top of the mountain is the educational goal, and the process of climbing is the educational process. Can you The success of climbing to the top depends on three things: students’ interest and courage, the rationality of teachers’ setting of steps, and the process of teachers and students climbing together. “Putting students in mind means being real, concrete, vivid and accurate. At this time, teachers can truly enter the students' spiritual world, understand them, study them, and then help them, change them, and improve them."

"Psychologists are experimenting. Students study in the classroom, while teachers study students in the classroom. The former obtains knowledge in a "vacuum", while the latter obtains knowledge in "reality" and "on the earth." In fact, the meaning of "teaching" is studied. It is very rich, but the ultimate destination is to learn. Therefore, when teachers study the essence of teaching, they actually study how to learn with students.

"In school classes, we do not lack teachers who are good at understanding students. What we lack most are teachers who connect understanding students with understanding the times. In the big era, understanding the students we face every day is not only about ability, but also about understanding the times. Wisdom. ”

“How to judge the possibility of lifelong education for ‘me’? Let’s ask ourselves: Do I have the sensitivity and understanding of the limits of my own life? Do I have the desire for new knowledge and new worlds? Do I still have the courage and passion to love? Have I broken through my own bottleneck? "Sensitivity and observation, acceptance of new knowledge and curiosity, desire for beauty, courage and passion for love are the key to breaking through myself. The necessary quality of limitation is also the touchstone to measure whether a teacher can maintain his ability to teach forever.

"'Education originates from communication', this also applies to education for the elderly. The shrinking, stagnation and solidification of the circle of communication are the social reasons for Alzheimer's disease and return of goods. Life-long education needs to be maintained through lifelong communication. "The essence of education is to move towards openness, but aging makes people move towards closure; the essence of education is to move towards the unknown, while aging makes people move towards experience.

"In the system of lifelong education, 'school' is just a short interlude." I remember a saying by Ni Kuang circulated in the circle of friends. The progress of society lies in the fact that the next generation does not listen to the words of the previous generation. Although straightforward, it is very enlightening.
