A hundred years of life, standing in kindergarten. The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to adhere to the people-centered development of education, accelerate the construction of a high-quality education system, develop quality education, and promote educational equity. Pre-school education is the most basic starting point of a high-quality education system, and it cannot be left behind or left behind.
In recent years, Yanqing District of Beijing has continuously deepened the reform of preschool education, promoted the popularization and high-quality development of preschool education, and continuously increased investment, improved the management mechanism, improved the conditions for running kindergartens, strengthened team building, and met the people's demand for high-quality preschool education.
Inclusive expansion to achieve "everything you want".
Click, with the sound of the camera's shutter, the smiling faces were frozen, and the kindergarten life of the 223 children in the kindergarten class of Qingyuan Kindergarten came to a successful end. In the past three years, the kindergarten has built a stage for the children to grow, and the teachers have taken good care of them, and the children have grown up happily and healthily.
In 2020, the number of new kindergartens in Yanqing District surged, and the original kindergartens were already operating at full capacity. In order to solve the problem of shortage of places, the Yanqing District Education Commission took the lead in rebuilding Qingyuan Kindergarten in the former wine trading center, adding 15 classes and 450 places. At the same time, the District Education Commission dispatched key teachers from all kindergartens in the district to ensure the quality of the new kindergartens.
When my daughter went to the kindergarten class, I was still not at ease with the new kindergarten, but as she was promoted to the middle class and then to the large class, I obviously saw the changes in the child's body, the collective consciousness was stronger, the communication skills were improved, and the self-care ability was gradually developed. Wang Meng, a parent of a kindergarten child, said, "I am very relieved to see my daughter sensible and grow up under the care of the teacher, thank you teachers." ”
Qingyuan Kindergarten is a microcosm of Yanqing District's efforts to increase the supply of preschool education resources. In recent years, the Yanqing District Education Commission has built 8 new kindergartens and 3,800 supplementary places through new construction, reconstruction and expansion, rental instead of construction and community construction. At the same time, 19 private kindergartens in the region have been identified as inclusive private kindergartens, and a hand-in-hand assistance mechanism between inclusive private kindergartens and public kindergartens has been established to ensure that school-age children enjoy high-quality and inclusive preschool education.
At present, Yanqing District has formed a preschool education service pattern with public parks as the main body, inclusive private parks and community kindergartens as supplements, and the coverage rate of inclusive kindergartens has reached 9966%, basically achieving the goal of "entering as much as possible" for school-age children in need in the region.
Train teachers to improve the effectiveness of education
To do a good job in preschool education, teachers are the foundation and the key. In order to strengthen the construction of teachers and cadres and solve the problem of insufficient teachers, the Yanqing District Education Commission has accurately supplemented full-time teachers, nursery workers and health care personnel through recruitment, transfer from outside the district, and purchase of social services.
Zhang Han is a teacher in the small class department of Qingyuan Kindergarten and graduated from Capital Normal University with a major in preschool education. In her work, she continued to accumulate experience, consulted old teachers in a timely manner, combined the theories learned in books with kindergarten education practice, and gradually grew into a new star in the park. In recent years, many outstanding young teachers like Zhang Han have injected "fresh blood" into the preschool teachers in Yanqing District, which has strengthened the stamina for the development of regional preschool education.
The growth of young teachers needs professional learning Xi and guidance, and the various training channels opened up by the Yanqing District Education Commission for preschool teachers are an important way to improve the professional quality of teachers. In recent years, the District Education Commission, together with Capital Normal University, Beijing Institute of Education and other institutions and institutions, has carried out hierarchical training for more than 800 full-time preschool teachers in the district, and has also given full play to the role of special teacher studios, famous teacher studios, and municipal backbone teacher workshop projects to lead and drive the growth of young teachers.
In Xie Chunrong's studio, located in the first kindergarten of Yanqing District, Xie Chunrong led the members of the studio to conduct a "master-apprentice dialogue" around early childhood care education and teacher team construction. Wang Yiling, deputy director of Shenjiaying Kindergarten in Yanqing District, said: "The studio is rich in activities, both theoretical and practical, and has improved my business level and management ability. ”
In recent years, the Yanqing District Education Commission has organized 10 outstanding principals and party branch secretaries to participate in national and municipal cadre training projects, and has organized 65 kindergarten cadres to participate in district-level youth talent training, kindergarten director qualification training, new secretary training and other projects. This year, Liu Yin, a teacher at the No. 3 Kindergarten in Yanqing District, was awarded the National "Ten Thousand Talents Program" Famous Teacher, and two other teachers were awarded the Beijing Outstanding Teacher.
Adapt measures to local conditions and highlight the characteristics of the garden
The sand and water area that releases nature, the climbing area that challenges oneself, and the graffiti area where creativity is infinite, this is the activity area of the Heping Street Branch of Yongning Kindergarten after the renovation and expansion, where children taste the taste of nature, see the colors of nature, and listen to the sounds of nature.
Yongning Kindergarten is the largest kindergarten in Sichuan Township, Yanqing District. In order to better meet the needs of parents for high-quality preschool education and solve the problems of insufficient kindergarten places and narrow indoor space in Yongning area, in 2022, Yongning Kindergarten National Park will be renovated. In June of the same year, the renovation of the Heping Street branch of the kindergarten was completed, and it was officially put into use in February this year, becoming a small class department, and Yongning Kindergarten formed a "one park and three sites" pattern.
In recent years, Yanqing District has promoted the construction of high-quality kindergartens with multiple sites through overall planning, so that more children can enjoy high-quality preschool education. If the balanced development of education is the "background color", then the characteristic construction of education is the "bright color". The Yanqing District Education Committee actively encourages each kindergarten to adapt measures to local conditions, form characteristics, and help children grow.
The successful holding of the 2019 Beijing World Horticultural Expo and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has sown the seeds of ecological civilization in everyone's hearts, and also led to the vigorous development of ice and snow sports. The kindergarten moves the classroom to the mountains and rivers, so that children can learn to protect and respect nature in activities close to nature. Ice and snow sports such as roller skating, ice skating, and curling are widely carried out, and children feel the joy of sports in ice and snow sports.
On the first day of school in the spring of 2023, the No. 4 Kindergarten in Yanqing District gave the children a unique "meeting gift": the Winter Olympics mascots "Bingdundun" and "Xue Rongrong" welcomed the children into the kindergarten at the door, and the teachers told the stories of the Winter Olympics athletes to the children at the flag-raising ceremony, and the Winter Olympics competition items became class games. These distinctive "gifts" highlight the educational concept of the kindergarten, and have also become a vivid element of preschool education in Yanqing District.
The Yanqing District Education Commission will continue to implement the action plan for preschool education, highlight the expansion and connotation development, consolidate the quality of preschool teachers, highlight the characteristics of kindergartens, and make every effort to promote the popular, inclusive and high-quality development of preschool education. The relevant person in charge of the Yanqing District Education Commission said.
