A total of 15 contestants from Zhejiang Province participated in the competition, of which 6 were from Ningbo, which was the most in the province. In the end, 2 people from Ningbo won the first prize and 4 people won the second prize, setting the best results in the history of Ningbo.

On the one hand, many parents complain that the class teacher pushes too much responsibility for education to the family, but on the other hand, the class teacher complains that "the work is getting harder and harder", which makes us have to re-examine the role and responsibilities of the class teacher.

Today, what kind of class teachers do we need, and what experience does Ningbo have in cultivating class teachers that we can learn from?

Classes are the easiest.

All kinds of meetings, all kinds of training, all kinds of **, an average of 12 hours a day, no lunch break. When it comes to work pressure, a number of primary and secondary school class teachers told reporters: "Classes are the easiest."

Ms. Sun is a Chinese teacher and class teacher in a primary school in Zhejiang. In addition to the Chinese class, she is also responsible for the ethics and rule of law class, the labor class and the team class, all of which have to be prepared separately. As a class teacher, she also has to arrive at school early in the morning to manage early reading, be responsible for students' lunch and lunch break at noon, and have evening care and extended service waiting for her in the afternoon. "I'm so busy spinning like a spinning top, I don't have time to spare. ”

In addition to these student jobs, Ms. Sun also undertakes a lot of additional administrative work. A few days ago, the higher-level departments required to carry out legal popularization activities, and parents were required to log in to the relevant APP to learn Xi and answer questions. "The task is urgent, and the completion rate is not up to standard, and it will be reported. She could only call ** again and again to urge her parents to complete it, which made some parents complain again and again.

This task was finally accomplished, and the tasks of anti-drug education and network security education followed.

In the face of parents' complaints, Ms. Sun said that she understands the feelings of parents very well, "They are also very busy with work, and they have to complete the tasks in school at the end of three days, but I can't do anything about it." The instructions from the higher authorities and the complaints of the parents made the head teacher feel like he was looking for a balance in the cracks.

What made the class teachers feel that Alexander was the responsibility on his shoulders. At this time, the topic of "returning 10 minutes between classes to the child" is very hot, and Teacher Zhang said helplessly: "We want to too!".However, the safety of students in school is the primary responsibility of the class teacher, and in the event of an accident, the accountability of parents and education departments to the school is beyond our reach. ”

According to the statistics of the Chinese Academy of Education and Sciences, before the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, the average weekly work of primary and secondary school teachers was 525 hours, far exceeding the 40 hours stipulated by the labor law. After the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, primary and junior high schools fully implemented the "5+2" model, and carried out 2 hours of after-school services every day, 5 days a week. The situation of overwork of the class teacher is getting worse.

Teacher Zhang said that many parents are busy with work during the day, and often send her a message or call ** in the middle of the night after work, if they can't reply in seconds, it will cause dissatisfaction among parents, and even cause conflicts. "Would you be willing to do such a thankless job?Mr. Zhang's question left the reporter speechless.

Motivate the class teacher with real gold.

There is a lot of pressure and responsibility, and teachers are reluctant to be class teachers. How to break this dilemma?During the interview, the reporter found that Ningbo has made a lot of positive explorations in this regard.

In order to encourage teachers to serve as class teachers, Ningbo has given a lot of resources so that class teachers can get real gold rewards. As early as 2018, Ningbo City issued a special policy, the "Opinions" require schools to tilt towards class teachers in terms of incentive performance salary, title (position) promotion, evaluation and evaluation, etc., improve the monthly allowance system for class teachers, and increase the number of years of service as class teachers according to teachers' titles (positions) year by year, changing the previous problem of "no matter how many years of class teacher allowance is the same".

In addition, Ningbo has also established a professional growth system for class teachers, and set up "rookie class teachers", "backbone class teachers" and "famous class teachers" to give special allowances of 8,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan per year to municipal "backbone class teachers" and "famous class teachers" respectively. This policy was called "the best incentive mechanism in history" by Ningbo class teachers.

Yu Shuyan, the head teacher of Ningbo Yinzhou Senior High School, told reporters that the evaluation of teachers' subject majors is actually very "volume", and it is very difficult to shine on this track. "The selection of class teachers carried out by the Ningbo Municipal Education Bureau has opened up a double channel for the professional development of many teachers' disciplines and the professional development of class teachers. He said that the class teacher can choose to participate in both the subject and professional sequences and the moral education sequence.

Driven by such a policy, the construction of the Ningbo class teacher team has embarked on the "fast lane", and the work of the class teacher has also undergone corresponding changes.

With the introduction of the policy of class teachers at the municipal level in Ningbo, various districts (counties, cities) and schools have followed up, so that class teachers have more sense of belonging, gain and achievement. For example, Zhenhai, Beilun and other places have set up special funds for class teachers in addition to teacher performance, and many schools have also set up annual awards for class teachers.

In terms of economic treatment, the class teacher has at least four additional incomes: one is the monthly allowance for the post stipulated by the state, the second is the class teacher employment allowance issued by the school, the third is the school's class teacher assessment award, and the fourth is the specially established district-level class teacher allowance, of which the district-level class teacher allowance specially established by the district is allocated according to the number of classes in the school, and a dynamic growth mechanism is established, and the per capita district-level class teacher allowance of the class teacher is at least 4,000 yuan per year.

In addition to material incentives, it is also essential to enhance the spiritual internal drive of the class teacher. In order to enhance the sense of honor of class teachers, since 2017, Ningbo has begun to commend teachers who have served as class teachers for 30 yearsThe municipal and county education administrative departments and schools have built a series of selection systems for class teachers at the city, district (county, city) and school levels, and through the selection of honors such as "meritorious class teacher", "most beautiful class teacher" and "excellent class teacher", so that the class teacher will have a happier sense of happiness in his post, a greater sense of achievement in his career, and a greater sense of honor in the society.

Yu Shuyan told reporters: "I remember that on the class teacher's day, the students awarded me a 'most actionable award', and the students gave me hand-drawn cartoons, and at that moment I felt that my hard work was really seen by the students." ”

How to cultivate more excellent class teachers.

When many people talk about the teacher who has the most influence on them, they often mention a certain class teacher first.

In Zhihu's last post titled "How the head teacher has had an impact on your life", some netizens shared their stories. A netizen recalled: When I was in elementary school, I met a homeroom teacher who visited his home at every turn, which made him suffer a lot of scolding, but when he grew up, he was very grateful to this homeroom teacher. Another netizen had no intention of studying Xi in the third year of junior high school because her parents divorced, but fortunately, with the help of her class teacher, she got out of that dark moment. However, some netizens shared the harm caused to him by the head teacher: a new class teacher wronged him for cheating and publicly accused him in the class, causing himself to be isolated by his classmates and suffer from depression symptoms.

It can be seen that the class teacher has a profound influence on the students. How important is it to build a team of high-quality and professional class teachers?

The Provincial Academy of Education and Science has conducted an in-depth survey of 2,675 class teachers in 11 cities across the province who are fighting in the front line of primary schools, junior high schools and high schools. According to the survey, the vast majority of class teachers are basically "unprepared" or "unprepared" in a hurry. When I first served as a class teacher, 46 people did not receive on-the-job training as a class teacher8%, and nearly 30% of the class teachers said that they were "in a hurry" at the beginning of their tenure, and often felt that they did not know what to do when they encountered problems.

In such a situation, "crossing the river by feeling the stones" has become the main way for the head teacher to grow. "The work of a class teacher is the work of facing the hearts of the students, and it is more complex and artistic than the work of teaching. If the class teacher fails in self-exploration, the students become the 'experiments' and 'victims' of the class teacher's natural growth. Experts from the Provincial Academy of Education and Science said that the training of class teachers urgently needs to be systematic and specialized.

More than 10 years ago, Ningbo City began to hold the basic skills competition of class teachers every year, and selected outstanding young class teachers and set up special training courses by competition.

Mao Yanqin, the first famous class teacher in Ningbo and a teacher at Ningbo Experimental Primary School, said that in the past ten years, it has been obvious that Ningbo has higher requirements for the professionalism of class teachers. In the past, I was a class teacher, and I started more from experience and emotionNowadays, more class teachers have changed from experience to professionalism, from side hustles to main jobs, and improved the professionalism of class teachers' work.

In addition to the selection of outstanding young class teachers by competition, Ningbo also takes the construction of city, district (county, city) two-level "famous class teacher" studios as a key task, encourages primary and secondary schools to establish school-level "famous class teacher" studios, and enables the city's class teachers to embark on the road of "professional growth" through the activities of famous class teachers leading apprentices. The full-coverage, hierarchical, scientific and reasonable training system also provides more high-quality training resources for class teachers.

In the past, I was very envious of the subject team, they had the best leadership, team support, and platform display, but the head teacher was a lonely loner. Yu Fen, the representative of the outstanding leaders of the first batch of primary and secondary school class teacher studios in Ningbo and Fenghua District Experimental Primary School, said that the launch of the "class teacher growth mechanism" in Ningbo is that the most impressive comment I saw in the circle of friends was "The spring of Ningbo class teacher is coming"!

Today, as a studio leader, Yu Fen and a group of like-minded friends jointly explore the direction and path of the professional development of class teachers. With the studio as a platform, in recent years, the members of the studio have achieved a gorgeous transformation from different angles in the position of class teacher. According to incomplete statistics, at present, a total of 78 articles have been published by members of the studio, 23 topics have been awarded, and 59 members have won 59 honors at the provincial level and above.

Mr. Gao Peisheng, the homeroom teacher of Ningbo Zhenhai Middle School, is also a beneficiary of this mechanism. In 2018, he was awarded the first rookie class teacher, in 2021, he was approved as the second Ningbo backbone class teacher, and in 2022, he was approved as the second Ningbo famous class teacher. In 2023, Mr. Gao Peisheng established a famous class teacher studio led by himself. He not only imparts his years of experience to young teachers, but also encourages them to actively participate in various activities to improve their teaching skills. Through this training model, more and more young teachers have grown rapidly. In the just-concluded Yangtze River Delta region primary and secondary school class teacher basic skills competition, Mr. Bu Haijun, a youth class teacher from Mr. Gao's studio, won the first prize of the high school group comprehensive award.

It is through the construction of this series of professional growth system, incentive mechanism, training system, and honor system that Ningbo's class teachers have more support. "A single flower is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring", the head teachers found that more and more people are traveling along the way.
