The famous scholar Zhu Yongxin talks about reading like this: "A nation that advocates reading must be a rational and excellent nation, a society that advocates reading must be a society full of hope, and a campus that advocates reading must be A healthy and vibrant campus. "In recent years, under the guidance of the school philosophy of "people-oriented - creating a scholarly campus and laying the foundation for the happy growth of teachers and students", the school has created characteristics through reading, pursued excellence through reading, and effectively promoted The growth of teachers and students has put the school on the fast track of connotative development.
1. What is a scholarly campus?
Everyone has different understandings of what a scholarly campus is. Our understanding of a scholarly campus is to create an atmosphere that uses activities as a carrier to guide teachers and students to study. Through reading, you can purify the human heart, accept yourself and affirm yourself; through reading, you can educate human nature, transcend yourself and enjoy life; through reading, you can enlighten life, live in peace and wisdom, and live in the world with wisdom.
Let the fragrance of books spread like the fragrance of flowers in every corner of the campus, let reading good books become the most natural thing in the lives of teachers and students, and let teachers and students draw sunshine and moisture from books. The entry point for creating a scholarly campus should be to read good books, and encourage student teachers to regard reading as the basis for learning and teaching. Simply put, it is to use reading to enhance the reading taste of teachers and students, improve the quality and personal cultivation of teachers and students, and lead teachers and students to create own rich spiritual home, thereby building a campus full of wisdom and vitality. We build a "bookish campus" with the aim of cultivating teachers and students to become bookish and scholarly intellectuals in the "bookish campus" by encouraging teachers and students to read, so that teachers and students can bathe in the fragrance of books, immerse themselves in culture, and serve as teachers. Lay the foundation for the happy growth of life.
2. Why is it said that a scholarly campus can become the driving force for the connotation development of a school?
The key to whether a school has development potential lies in whether it has built a learning organization and whether the school has become a learning organization. Whether the study habits of teachers and students are developed in groups. Through investigation and reflection, we have deeply realized that the lack of teachers’ theoretical literacy and cultural literacy is one of the main factors restricting the development of schools, and it is also the “bottleneck” for improving teacher quality and teaching quality. The development experience of advanced schools has a common point, which is to improve the school level through learning team building, awaken the development vitality of the school and the educational passion of teachers, go straight to the core of teachers’ professional development, and give teachers and students the motivation to grow. To this end, our school takes the construction of a scholarly campus as the driving force to promote the connotation development of the school.
Creating a scholarly campus is the beautiful pursuit of our teachers and students, and is an important starting point for us to create a learning campus. A campus full of happiness and harmony cannot be separated from the rich aroma of books. Therefore, around the theme of "Building a Scholarly Campus", we have carried out school-wide reading activities in a planned, purposeful and guided manner, creating a campus cultural environment of diligent reading, hard study and striving to improve students' love for books. , the good habit of reading a lot of books, forming a good atmosphere of loving reading in the school. Through reading activities, we can stimulate the reading enthusiasm of teachers and students, especially all students, broaden their horizons, increase their knowledge, develop their intelligence, cultivate their sentiments, enrich their cultural heritage, and improve their overall quality. Through reading activities, students' reading volume can be greatly increased, so that students can increase their interest in reading and gradually develop reading habits. Through activities, teachers and students experience the vitality of life together, improve their realm of life, gradually form the unique scholarly campus characteristics of our school, and continuously improve the quality of our school.
3. How to build a scholarly campus
How to promote the construction of a scholarly campus at the school level? Our thinking is: pointing to the growth of students, pointing to the professional development of teachers, pointing to The characteristic construction of the school.
Create a physical environment and create a scholarly atmosphere
“Those who are close to vermillion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.” This famous saying also applies to reading. We can look at the development trajectories of celebrities throughout history. Their growth benefits from their family culture and is inseparable from the influence of their parents' words and deeds. If we are always immersed in a strong atmosphere of books, if everyone around us is opening the book to recite and covering it to think, we can't help but open the book, from a few lines to a few pages, and fall in love with reading. Intoxicated. Therefore, the atmosphere for reading is very important.
As a school, we should let every wall and every piece of lawn in the campus speak, let every classroom in our school be filled with the fragrance of books, and let everyone deeply feel that reading is a kind of enjoyment.
In order to allow students to better enter "reading", we fully develop and explore various reading resources, improve students' reading environment, and enable every child to enter books. Walking into our campus, the reading slogan of "Books of the same name as companions, classics as friends" is very eye-catching. Classic poems are illustrated with pictures and texts on the pillars in the corridors of each floor. Displays, etc., make people feel the charm of books everywhere, outlining a campus charm with a strong book flavor. The class book corner is the most convenient and fastest source of books for students to read outside class. Each class has a special book corner. Each class collects books from students and allows children to bring their favorite reading materials to the classroom. Firstly, it is convenient for students to read after class, and secondly, they can exchange readings with each other. Establish a sunny, open, simple and practical "I Love Books Bar" so that students' favorite books can be read anywhere on campus, improve the utilization rate of books, realize the sharing of resources, and overcome the practical difficulties of insufficient school reading room area. In order to guide students to establish a sense of book collecting from an early age, we also actively encourage each student to build a home library so that the fragrance of books can flow into every home. As a school and teachers, we regularly recommend book collection catalogs to students, learn about their book collections and usage, and promote and praise students whose families have large book collections. In this way, our teachers and children can feel the existence of words all the time, and enjoy the wonderful spiritual enlightenment that language brings us. If we don’t read, what else can we do?
Second, teach by example, take the lead in setting an example, and make reading a habit for teachers
1. Carefully select books so that teachers can read.
“Ask the canal where it is so clear, so that there is a source of running water.” All teachers are on the front line of teaching. In the practice of education and teaching, they have realized that the teacher’s bounden duty is to teach and educate. It is the duty of a person to be a teacher. Teachers should be a living big book and a good book in the minds of students, a flagship of reading, an ocean of knowledge, a model of life, a spiritual pillar, and a torch of ideals. Therefore, teachers must first do what students are required to do. "One lesson on stage is worth a thousand days of work off stage", "A good book is with a group of people, but a loud voice will keep you far away". In order to encourage all teachers to be teachers who accompany books, the school provides teachers with free subscriptions to books and newspapers and purchases educational theory books. Teachers are required to read four types of books: read classics to enhance cultural heritage; read theoretical monographs to strengthen teaching practice; read children's books Literature can help you understand the innocence of children; read newspapers and magazines to understand the world's customs. The school also implements a "books instead of prizes" system - books are used instead of bonuses in various teaching competitions; and a principal's "recommended reading" system - the principal conducts reading guides on good books at all staff meetings. Everyone feels that by reading more good books, they will gain more experience, gain more wisdom, gain more strength, and enjoy more happiness; everyone is studying in middle school and teaching in middle school, making friends with books, and their childlike innocence and passion will last forever. Yongbao injects fresh vitality into the growth of students and the development of the school.
2. Take notes so that teachers can gain something from reading.
On the basis of reading, teachers are strongly encouraged to carry out personal reading excerpts and writing teaching essays, with the intention of absorbing and adopting hundreds of schools of thought to lay a solid foundation for their own growth. The school uniformly distributes "Reading Notes" and "Teaching Essays", requiring teachers to read three books each semester that are helpful for improving the theoretical literacy of education and teaching, read one of them intensively, carefully excerpt famous quotes, and write a reading article every month Experience: Develop a good habit of writing essays on the basis of reading. Write at least 4 essays on education and teaching every month, check at the end of the month, and perform mid-term and final evaluations.
3. Carry out research to allow teachers to read and think.
In the construction of the teaching team, we should do a good job in the implementation of the provincial project "Practice and Research on Literary Reading Activities at Xia Yan's Alma Mater" and regard this topic as the central topic of the entire school to conduct research and implementation. Create a strong teaching and research atmosphere on campus, study the combination of reading and writing, use reading to promote writing, and use writing to promote thinking, promote the integration and improvement of students' reading, writing and thinking abilities, and gradually make reading an important part of our school's campus culture Partly, it has become one of the ways of survival for teachers and students. By increasing teaching rewards and degrees, we encourage and urge faculty and staff to actively write educational essays, experience summaries, teaching cases, etc., establish scientific research awareness, and train more teachers to become scientific research-oriented, expert teachers, and city and county subject leaders.
3. Carry out reading activities and enjoy the beautiful scenery
1. Recommend reading books to ensure reading taste.
Students want to read, what should they read? How to read? Teachers are thinking.
Therefore, the school's Chinese teachers studied the curriculum standards carefully and clarified the requirements for students' reading ability in my country's "Chinese Curriculum Standards": to cultivate students' ability to read independently, pay attention to emotional experience, have rich accumulation, and form a good sense of language. Be able to understand and appreciate literary works, be influenced by noble sentiments and interests, develop personality, and enrich one's own spiritual world. The reading amount standards are stipulated. The total amount of extracurricular reading by school students should be no less than 1.45 million words (no less than 50,000 words for grades 1-2; no less than 400,000 words for grades 3-4; and no less than 1 million words for grades 5-6). ) Teachers make adjustments in the school-based curriculum teaching materials according to the requirements of the curriculum standards. The teaching of reading methods is organically combined with the recommended books. Based on the actual situation of the students, the resources of the school library and the district recommended books, they screen and provide reading guidance to the students. guidance.
2. Set up reading classes to ensure reading time.
Set reading classes to ensure reading time. In the curriculum, it is specified that one literature introduction class per week is the whole school’s reading time, which mainly includes learning methods, reciting classics, reading classics, etc. Teachers actively guide students' reading by cultivating students' good reading methods and habits.
3. Put forward reading requirements to ensure reading accumulation.
Lower grades: Familiarly read and memorize easy-to-understand poems other than the textbooks, no less than 10 poems (pieces) per semester, and give the general meaning under the guidance of the teacher. Intermediate grade: Familiarly read and recite no less than 20 classic poems (pieces) per semester other than the textbooks, and be able to express the meaning of the poems and the thoughts and feelings to be expressed.

Reading requirements: 1-3 books per semester for lower grades. 3-6 books per semester for middle grade students. There are 5-8 books per semester for senior students.
4. Advocate three "first-class reading" to stimulate interest in reading.
"Pan ***Reading": In the form of drifting books, students are allowed to "drift" their favorite books to their peers. After reading, they write down their true reflections, and then continue drifting to share the good books with their peers. Read to the end. Let all students who participate in reading broaden their horizons in reading, understand life in reading, learn to think in reading, and grow up happily in reading.
"Teachers and students read first": We propose that every teacher is the organizer, participant, guide and collaborator of students' reading. Actively carry out activities such as "reading the same book", "memorizing the same poem" and "celebrating the same festival" with students. Use morning reading, morning memorization and reading classes to read classic books to students. Create a scholarly atmosphere of "teachers and students reading together".
"Parent-child reading": Carry out "parent-child reading" activities at home, give full play to the role of society and parents, and make them supporters, promoters and participants of school reading activities , builder. Parents are required to set half an hour after dinner every day as "reading time", read together with their children, and improve together. Families with the conditions often take their children to bookstores to buy books and borrow books from libraries to broaden their reading channels. Parents are encouraged to give books as gifts to their children on their birthdays; and to give good books as gifts during the Spring Festival.
5. Build a communication platform and enjoy reading.
First, a reading festival is held every year. During the Reading Festival, we held literary youth competitions, scholarly class and scholarly family competitions, reading tabloid exhibition reviews, reading essay competitions, children's literature writers' reports, "Reading Children's Books, Getting Close to Literature" teaching seminars, scholarly forums, and poetry readings. Achievements, "collect famous quotes, make bookmarks" exhibition and other activities. During the "Reading Festival", we invite parents to participate in school activities and publicize to parents the phased results of the school's bookish campus construction. In addition, we also invited people from all walks of life to hold special seminars to talk about the construction of a scholarly campus.
The second is to carry out various theme reading activities. Thematic reading activities are carried out in an organized manner based on grade or class units and based on students' age characteristics and reading concerns. For example, in the second half of last year, the third grade carried out a fairy tale festival with the theme of "We grow up in fairy tales", guiding students to read fairy tales, send fairy tales, draw fairy tales, collect fairy tales, write fairy tales, act out fairy tales, etc. Get close to the content of fairy tales, understand fairy tales from multiple angles, and develop the habit of reading.
The third is the colorful book club activities. Class Reading Club: As the name suggests, it is a class-based unit that carries out reading activities in a planned manner and conducts various forms of reading, discussion and communication, so that students can exchange their reading thoughts and talk about their reading experience in the reading club. Teachers' Reading Club: "Teaching by example is better than teaching by words." While striving to build students' spiritual world, we teachers must also build some spiritual confidence for ourselves through reading. The school's teaching department is responsible for organizing and establishing the "Young Teachers Reading Club" and carrying out teachers' reading salons. During the exchanges, the cultural atmosphere of teachers' reading is constantly formed, and the teachers' humanistic qualities and professional skills are effectively improved. Parent-child reading clubs: The school regularly holds parent-child reading clubs. By distributing advocacy letters to families, it carries out the "Parent-Child Reading, Every Family Reading" activity, mobilizing "children's earliest teachers" to allow parents to read with their children, creating a A good family reading atmosphere leads children into the world of books.
Mr. Zhu Yongxin once said: "A person's spiritual development history is essentially a person's reading history; the spiritual realm of a nation depends to a large extent on the reading level of the entire nation. The same is true for schools "The spiritual quality of a school is reflected in the cultural atmosphere and cultural construction of the campus, and depends on the construction of a benign reading ecology." When we look at "reading" from the perspective of spiritual growth, building a "bookish campus" is actually creating a spiritual home. We feel that building a "bookish campus" is not only a concrete practice to implement the construction of a "learning school", but also a useful exploration of deepening the school's educational characteristics. In the future, we will be more energetic, firm in our beliefs, stride forward, interpret the unique charm and profound connotation of the "bookish campus" in our own way, continue to write a bookish life with talent and wisdom, and make the bookish campus an inseparable part of the school's connotation development. Exhaust motivation.
