Fu Tingxiang, No.3 Primary School in Chengguan, Huishui County, Guizhou Province
On February 12, 2006, I went to Houhai Primary School in Nanshan District, Shenzhen for a half-year on-the-job study. This half-year study has made me feel deeply. Let me talk about my own experience.
First, the school environment is beautiful. The school has complete hardware facilities, including multimedia classrooms, computer rooms, reading rooms, natural laboratories, music classrooms, art classrooms and terraced classrooms. But what impressed me the most is that their campus culture construction embodies the people-oriented school-running concept everywhere. As soon as I entered the campus, I generally felt that the school was clean and fresh. Although the primary school covers a small area, the sparrow is small and complete. The corridor of the school is painted with exquisite patterns full of childlike interest, and some works (instead of "primary code" or "code of daily behavior for primary school students") are hung on the wall, which is very in line with the psychological characteristics of primary school students. In a word, this campus is decorated like a warm home. If you don't look at the time, sometimes you don't know whether to attend class or finish class. The quiet atmosphere at home here makes me feel more comfortable.
Second, teachers wait for classes. When having classes in the mainland, we always rush into the classroom to prepare for class when we hear the bell. However, in Houhai Primary School, teachers' waiting for classes has become a beautiful landscape on campus. When the class music starts, teachers of all subjects will appear in the classroom on time. At this time, the students on duty in the classroom will organize students to prepare lessons and give them a psychological buffer time.
Third, it is easy for teachers to attend classes. Every class of Houhai primary school teachers is very practical, without any affectation. Just like math class, although it is also a trilogy, it can all be implemented, which reflects teachers' profound and thorough understanding of teaching materials. Many teachers attend seminars in the same way as home cooking classes, which is simple and practical. I think this is the most worthwhile place for me to learn.
Fourth, the school's teaching and research activities are very vivid. In particular, the school's curriculum reform forum, in order to improve teachers' teaching level and promote teachers' professional growth, Houhai Primary School opened a "curriculum reform forum", set up a doctoral collaboration station, and hired Wang Lin, the first doctor of children's literature in China and a famous "story uncle" in China, Zhao Mingren, a doctor of philosophy education in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and Shao Boxue, a doctor of education in East China Normal University, as members of the collaboration station, and opened a remote video. In the weekly curriculum reform forum, teachers can be free from time, space and geographical restrictions. This opened my eyes as a teacher from a mountainous area and realized that the teaching and research activities in developed areas were really implemented.
5. Houhai Primary School pays attention to the professional development of teachers. The school emphasizes the organic combination of humanistic quality training and professional intelligence training, and vigorously helps teachers form reading personality. While advocating teachers to read Chinese and foreign famous books and educational classics, Houhai Primary School also provides teachers with information related to curriculum reform and channels to obtain new information about curriculum reform, guides teachers to surf the Internet, read newspapers and books in a planned way, puts forward corresponding reading requirements, and supervises and organizes reading exchanges.
6. In the big garden of Houhai, school leaders and teaching staff are comrades and friends. They can understand, accept, care and appreciate each other, cooperate and communicate, develop constantly and innovate together. They can "express their ideas effectively and accommodate others' ideas with an open mind". We treat each other sincerely, pay attention to them with love and tolerate them. When I entered Houhai Primary School, I felt the teachers' love for education. They always expect all students to develop physically and mentally in an all-round way, with distinctive and sustainable personality. I always hope to cooperate sincerely with my colleagues, innovate and develop and improve together.
In a word, this training made me realize the importance of continuous learning and research. If you want to improve your teaching level and theoretical level, you should read more books, consult excellent teachers, listen to their classes and give yourself more opportunities to exercise. We should actively invest in teaching and scientific research, persevere, often reflect and summarize, and make corrections with an open mind.
