Schools are places where cultural knowledge is used as a carrier to cultivate students’ good moral character and to seek knowledge and keep fit. What's more, China is an ancient civilization with a history of five thousand years, with a brilliant culture and outstanding talents. As a school, it is our duty to inherit the culture of our motherland and let it flourish on campus. In fact, spirit and culture are the roots of education. What runs a school is an atmosphere, and this atmosphere is campus culture. Campus culture fills every corner of the campus and penetrates into all fields, making people unknowingly influenced. It is the soul of the school and the foundation of development. It is not only the embodiment of the school's comprehensive quality, but also the embodiment of the school's comprehensive competitiveness. It is also the fundamental driving force for the school's sustainable development.
Management culture fully reflects humanistic care. Management is an art, but also a culture. Management institutions and rules and regulations must be gradually formed in daily management to reflect the school's unique management concepts, humanistic spirit and operational effects. In the process of managing the school, school leaders must adhere to teacher-oriented and democratic school management, build an institutional culture that is consistent with humanism, democracy, science, and norms, and achieve scientific, democratic, and humanistic management. It is necessary to establish a management culture that develops human subjectivity, enhances the value of human life, and is rich in humanistic feelings, so that teachers can work in a standardized, orderly, and humanistic environment. In particular, it is necessary to establish and improve the teaching congress system. The first is to open up channels of expression and brainstorm ideas. In terms of school management, every semester should provide all teachers with written and oral channels for making suggestions, and provide opportunities for team members to evaluate their abilities and summarize their own work. Communicate frequently with different types of personnel, solicit their opinions and suggestions extensively, and create a harmonious school atmosphere. The second is scientific and democratic decision-making. The evaluation of excellence and priority for all teachers and staff and the development plan for school development must be open and transparent, and decision-making must be democratic. Third, school affairs are open and transparent. The school's short-term or long-term work arrangements and funding expenditures should be announced to all teachers through regular meetings to gain support from the majority of teachers. Thus, it arouses teachers’ ownership attitude of “promoting the school and making me proud”, and forms a synergistic and centripetal force to participate in and discuss politics.
Teacher culture sets a stage for teachers to perform wonderfully. The development of a school is inseparable from teachers. The growth of teachers benefits from the development stage built by the school and the campus culture created. In the process of building teacher culture, we should give full play to the role of veteran comrades in "teaching and guiding", assigning tasks to young teachers, shouldering the burden, and making the best of their talents. Young teachers should be responsible for the daily work of the student union, the library, laboratory, computer room, etc., and the development of various school activities, so that they can grow up as quickly as possible and share the joy of growth at work. Especially in the special teaching, young, capable and knowledgeable teachers are entrusted with important tasks and serve as instructors, permeating the philosophy of "three people walking together, there must be one who is my teacher". Let the characteristic teaching be activity-based, serialized, competitive, and characteristic. Let teachers improve their cultural literacy and innovation awareness in special teaching, various management and various activities.
School leaders should know how to make good use of people and give full play to teachers’ skills. The school is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Some teachers are good at writing news reports, some have talents in music, art, and calligraphy. Some teachers have high teaching standards, strong organizational skills, and rich expression skills. Some teachers are good at writing teaching papers. We must give them an opportunity to display their talents, give them a blue sky to fly, and provide them with conditions. Let their works be published in newspapers and periodicals, let them be willing to guide students to participate in competitions in various subjects, let them show off their singing voices on the literary and art stage, let them show off their skills on the three-foot podium in competition classes, and find a sense of professional happiness in self-growth. . Maybe the "famous teacher" is around us.
Class culture should create a harmonious, studious and enterprising atmosphere. Class culture is the soul of a class and is unique to each class. It is divided into "hard culture" and "soft culture". Hard culture is material culture, and students have different cognitive levels depending on their schooling stage. It is up to teachers to create this atmosphere in the lower grades of primary schools. Of course, many original materials can still come from students. For example, students' calligraphy, daily performance, collecting blackboard materials, etc. Under the premise of careful guidance, primary school teachers in middle grades and above should use blackboard newspapers as a platform for cultivating students' abilities. Of course, it also includes eye-catching patterns and slogans such as the national flag, celebrity quotes, class mottos, and class style on classroom walls. Soft culture includes institutional culture and conceptual culture. Institutional culture includes class safety responsibility statements, work and rest schedules, curriculum, class conventions, etc., to create an institutionalized cultural atmosphere; conceptual culture refers to the concepts of class, students, society, life, world, and values, which come from the majority of teachers. The relationship between students, students and students, the relationship between teachers and parents and the surrounding environment and social atmosphere of the campus.
Bedroom culture requires students to create a warm family atmosphere. The dormitory is not only the material carrier of campus culture, but also an important manifestation of campus culture, and it is also an integral part that cannot be ignored. It is carefully planned by the head teacher under the unified arrangement of the school to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the boarding students and use everyone's wisdom to decorate the dormitory with students' calligraphy and painting, arts and crafts works, handmade products, etc. Students have different age characteristics and genders, and the cultural tastes they create are also different.
Environmental culture should create a harmonious atmosphere between man and nature.
Campus environment culture refers to the school appearance and campus environment organized and transformed by people on campus, specifically referring to natural landscapes, buildings and various infrastructures. It forms an environmental atmosphere that enables students to be naturally influenced, suggested, and infected. Let it become a silent and elegant teacher, playing a silent educational role. For example, school mottos, promotional showcases, various activity display boards, campus broadcasts, opening ceremonies, etc., must not only reflect participation but also be artistic and educational. They must not only enrich students' campus cultural life but also cultivate students' aesthetic abilities and innovative ideas.
Management culture, teacher culture, class culture, dormitory culture, and environmental culture are all interconnected and restrict each other. Only by considering all aspects can we create a unique campus in the truest, most kind, and most beautiful way. culture. Only by adhering to the people-oriented educational philosophy and optimizing and integrating traditional culture, contemporary culture, and campus culture as educational resources can we build a harmonious campus with a beautiful natural environment, a strong learning atmosphere, standardized management behavior, and harmonious teacher-student relationships, and comprehensively improve education. The level of people and the quality of running the school.
