On July 11, 2004, the front page of "Nantong Daily" published an exciting report: "The Cradle of Successful Students - A visit to the county's first nine-year consistent experimental school Rudong County Juegang Tianyi School". From that moment on, the shining name of Tianyi School continues to echo in Rudong and even larger areas. Tianyi School has attracted more and more attention and favor from peers in the education field, all strata of society and every family. Today, she has not even gone through a year of running the school, but she has already received good news: Teacher Gu Xinli’s history class won the first prize in the national teaching competition, and Teacher Tao Zhenjian’s music class won the second prize in the national teaching competition; students Wang Ying and Liu Shiyu participated in the Nantong Children's Host Competition and both entered the top ten. Wang Ying won second place. Two contestants from one school won this honor. This is unique in the county and even the city; in Jiangsu Province, health knowledge In the competition, three primary and secondary school students represented Nantong City and won the second place in one fell swoop; the school was awarded the title of "China Youth Quality Development Demonstration Base" by the Central Institute of Education and Science and other units... So, what gave birth to this unique school? What about a charming and vibrant school? Today, let us walk into this new type of school together to appreciate its unique humanistic connotation.
1. Democratic Management Students have a wide age range, have great physiological and psychological differences, have different teaching evaluation index systems, and conflict with each other in many aspects such as work and rest time, unit class time, etc., and there are many contradictions. "Democracy" and "science" are the core concepts of education management by the famous educator Wei Shusheng. As the principal of Wei Shusheng Educational Art Experimental School, Zhu Xueyun led a group of people in the school to hold "school design" seminars many times during the summer vacation and determined the school's six-year development plan. The school also used the Double Ninth Festival as an opportunity to visit old comrades and ask them for school-running suggestions. In order to find a new idea suitable for promoting the behavior development of primary and secondary school students, the school convened administrative leaders and head teachers to conduct repeated consultations on various measures and systems for regular management, and implemented a parallel management model of the student duty week system and the teacher guidance system, forming a A situation where teachers and students manage together and manage each other. In terms of teaching management, we have established a management model of "five-stage management" and "three-stage teaching and research" based on the school's own characteristics. The "five stages" are grades 1-3, 4-5, 6, 7-8, and 9. , the "three stages" are grades 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9. Especially in the first Faculty and Staff Congress, which lasted for three months, the faculty (representatives) conducted multiple rounds of discussions and revisions on several management documents of the school. 15 meetings were held, and 79 rationalization suggestions and proposals were put forward. Since then, school management has gradually become scientific and standardized.
Two and nine-year consistent system We all know that the connection between primary and secondary schools in the compulsory education stage has always been a long-standing problem that plagues the education sector. Students in sixth grade and first grade are in a stage of rapid physical and mental development. The learning and life in primary and secondary schools are completely different, and many students cannot adapt during this transitional period. More importantly, teachers in primary and secondary schools have always worked independently in many aspects such as their educational and teaching concepts and educational and teaching models, lacking necessary communication and integration, which has greatly restricted the development of students. Therefore, the new curriculum standards emphasize the overall design of compulsory education, take into account the nine-year consistent curriculum content, and determine the "overall goals" for students' nine-year development. On this basis, some specific subjects are based on the students' physical and mental conditions. characteristics and established “stage goals”. Some goals are consistent throughout the nine years and may be mentioned repeatedly. Some goals are connected between different stages to form a certain gradient, spiral upward, and cannot be completely separated. Our nine-year consistent system can solve many of the above problems. The nearly 20 years of experience in running schools under the nine-year consistent system in Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places has proven that the nine-year consistent system for basic education adapts to the requirements of the times, complies with the laws of student development, and conforms to the spirit of curriculum reform. Therefore, the nine-year consistent system must be the basis for the future development of compulsory education. trend. Tianyi School took the lead in implementing a nine-year consistent education system in the county, connecting primary school and junior high school, creating a complete and continuous development space for students. It is conducive to the overall planning and implementation of curriculum reform and scientific integration of the curriculum at the basic education stage; it is more conducive to students to completely achieve the established development goals, form good behavioral habits in an orderly manner, and master various knowledge and skills coherently and solidly. Lay the foundation for future learning.
3. Information-based teaching When you enter Tianyi School, you will be surprised to find that computers, LCD projectors, and physical display platforms in each classroom have been installed in place. The campus network covers every room in the school. Multimedia-assisted teaching has become an important teaching method in every class here. Students learn easily and lively with very high efficiency. The dream of educational modernization of schools in northern Jiangsu has finally been realized here. It is precisely because the leaders of Tianyi School are far-sighted and seize the opportunity for development in the county that the academic performance of the second-rate students in the junior high school has begun to approach the academic performance of the first-rate students in other schools, showing a vigorous development Strong momentum. In order to research, promote and popularize multimedia-assisted teaching, the school leaders have really put their minds to use, using policy guidance, institutional constraints, professional training and other means to go hand in hand, and organized multiple rounds of teachers throughout the school to learn multimedia teaching theory and multimedia classrooms. Instructional design, equipment application technology, courseware production and other related knowledge have improved teachers’ theoretical literacy and practical application ability.
The school has also organized capable teaching staff to set up a special research group, strengthened the research on the integration of multimedia technology and disciplines, and carried out a number of research projects based on the actual teaching conditions of each discipline. With the deepening of research, multimedia teaching research in schools has become popular. The two national excellent courses mentioned at the beginning of this article benefit from multimedia-assisted teaching.
Tianyi School takes "creating a famous school and winning the trust of the people" as its purpose of running a school, and aims to build a distinctive modern school with first-class facilities, first-class teachers and first-class quality. Tianyi School, located at No. 1, Rihui East Road, Juegang Town, Rudong County, just like the morning sun rising from the east every day, has spread its first ray of sunshine to the promising land of Rudong. Education is a fertile field for sowing green hope! Today, the new teaching building under construction and the student apartment and teacher-student restaurant projects with an investment of more than 20 million yuan are about to be launched, creating excellent conditions for realizing small class teaching, providing boarding services, and further improving the quality of teaching.
I believe that in the near future, Tianyi School will stand tall in the spring breeze of education reform with more distinctive features and impressive achievements, and stand tall in the booming land of China!
