In order to spread knowledge all over the countryside and fields, in order to illuminate the road of education in remote areas, and to help more students in the deep mountains to get out of the mountainsHow far can an ordinary rural teacher go?
He has been suffering from a serious illness for more than ten years but still sticks to the front line of rural education, spreading knowledge on the three-foot podium while infecting the students in the audience with an optimistic and strong spirit.
It has been rooted in the Lake District for more than 20 years, sparing no effort to solve unimaginable problems such as rural education pick-up and enrollment in the Lake District, and bringing a rural primary school on the verge of closure back to life with its own efforts.
Or after 20 years of teaching, in order to let the children in the mountains also feel the charm of information-based teaching, he learned new teaching skills step by step from scratch, and wrote a total Xi of 100,000 words of information-based teaching logs.
Countless rural teachers who have taken root in the mountains and silently contributed to practice their educational ideals with their own practical actions. Not only has he been spreading knowledge on the front line of rural education for decades, but he has also influenced generations of students with his dedication.
Under the wave of China's rural education revitalization and education informatization transformation, the concept and connotation of "teaching" + "educating people" have been continuously updated.
Over the years, the integration of urban and rural education, the construction of teachers and the construction of education informatization have always been the key development direction of China's rural education revitalization policy, but in reality, due to objective regional development differences, there is still great room for improvement in the educational conditions in many mountainous and remote areas.
In recent years, thanks to the promotion of national poverty alleviation work, the campus environment and hardware facilities of rural schools have been greatly improved, but there is still a certain lag in the implementation of specific innovative teaching models and the promotion of advanced educational informatization concepts.
How to maintain the ability of lifelong learning and Xi, keep up with the pace of development of education informatization, and master innovative teaching models has become a new pursuit for educators who have been rooted in the front line of rural education for many years.
In response, a group of pioneers of information-based teaching embarked on the road of public welfare education, injecting valuable vitality and experience into the revitalization of rural education.
Step into the depths of the mountains
An ordinary car was driving on the rural roads of Guiding County, and Zhang Jiangying was admiring the idyllic scenery outside the car window while rehearsing in his mind the content of the next "class".
The method of making micro-lessons, the use of mind maps, and the skills of enlivening the classroom.
It's not the same as teaching children in school every dayZhang Jiangying's trip was to send teachers to the countryside as a "teacher's teacher", and to teach the methods and skills of information-based teaching to a group of rural teachers in Panjiang Primary School in Guiding County, Guizhou Province.
|Zhang Jiangying is sharing her experience in informatization teaching
For Zhang Jiangying, such a scene is not unfamiliar, and it can even be said that it has become a part of her daily life.
Since 2018, public welfare education has been sent to the countrysideZhang Jiangying has carried out nearly 160 teacher training sessions in rural schools across the country, with a total of more than 50,000 teachers trained, and the teaching footprints have been sent to Yunnan, Guizhou, Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Heilongjiang and other places.
|Zhang Jiangying's public welfare teaching footprints are all over the country
At that time, Zhang Jiangying was not only a rural teacher with more than 20 years of experience in front-line education, but also one of the invited expert lecturers of the "National Training Program".
The so-called "National Training Program", that is, the national training program for primary and secondary school teachers, was implemented by the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Finance in 2010 to improve the overall quality of primary and secondary school teachers, especially rural teachers.
In 2017, Zhang Jiangying met a group of teachers from the Guizhou Provincial Rural Famous Teacher's Studio in a training class of the "National Training Program", including Zhang Zhengwei from the No. 3 Middle School of Longli County, Guizhou.
In less than half a month of the training cycle, Zhang Zhengwei, as a local "rural famous teacher", deeply felt the gap between himself and Zhang Jiangying in the cognition and practice of information teaching
Ancient poems that seem obscure and difficult to understand become easy to understand and remember in an instant with the help of mind mapping toolsThe ancient stories that were originally familiar to me immediately became moving after carefully crafted micro-lesson displays.
Looking at these contents that he had memorized in his daily preparations, and was rejuvenated at this moment, Zhang Zhengwei, who is also a Chinese teacher, realizedIn order to give full play to the charm of information-based teaching, teachers' own teaching skills, understanding of innovative teaching models, and the mastery and application of related software and equipment are indispensable.
Zhang Zhengwei knows that as a rural teacher, he still has a lot of room for improvement on the road of information teaching, with the mentality of open learning Xi, Zhang Zhengwei added Zhang Jiangying's WeChat as soon as possible after class, hoping that after the "National Training Plan" training, he can also have the opportunity to contact Zhang Jiangying at any time to learn Xi "learn from experience".
This opportunity soon came.
In 2018, China's education informatization entered a new level, and the Ministry of Education issued the "Education Informatization 2."0 Action PlanIt is required that by 2022, China will basically achieve the development goal of "three full, two highs and one large".That is, the teaching application covers all teachers, the Xi application covers all school-age students, the digital campus construction covers all schools, the level of information application and the information literacy of teachers and students are generally improved, and a large platform of "Internet + education" has been built.
Taking this as an opportunity, a large number of new digital teaching equipment and applications have begun to enter rural campuses.
In this regard, Zhang Zhengwei was both excited and expectant, but also mixed with a little anxiety and nervousness, how to give full play to the information teaching ability of these equipment, became the biggest question that haunted Zhang Zhengwei and a group of rural teachers at that time.
When he was full of thoughts, Zhang Zhengwei thought of Zhang Jiangying, an expert lecturer who was proficient in various information-based teaching technologies, he met in the training class of the "National Training Program".
Therefore, Zhang Zhengwei launched an invitation to Zhang Jiangying, trying to invite him to Guizhou to share his experience and methods of information-based teaching and help more rural teachers grow.

Under the organization of Zhang Zhengwei, a group of rural teachers in Guizhou quickly learned to make their own micro-lessons through Zhang Jiangying's teaching, and many of them won awards in the micro-lesson competitions held by the province later, including Zhang Zhengwei himself.
Zhang Zhengwei said frankly that without Zhang Jiangying's guidance, his understanding of information technology and the improvement of his skills may have been delayed for several years.
Zhang Zhengwei's invitation opened Zhang Jiangying's public welfare education to the countryside.
In the next five years, as long as conditions permit, Zhang Jiangying can be seen running to different rural schools almost every weekend.
What is even more commendable is that Zhang Jiangying carries out the activities of sending education to the countryside in the form of public welfare, not only does not charge "work remuneration" such as lecture fees and labor fees, but also bears the travel expenses and accommodation expenses by himself, which can be said to be unreservedly dedicated to the cause of rural education.
In the vast mountains and rural campuses, there are footprints left by Zhang Jiangying's public welfare education in the countryside.
See the tenacity of rural teachers in China
When it comes to Zhang Jiangying, Zhang Yunyan, a teacher from Zhenhua Nationalities Middle School in Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province, has admiration and respect in her heart.
Zhang Yunyan and Zhang Jiangying met in the 2018 "National Training Plan" training class, and she still remembers that among the training lecturers, only Zhang Jiangying is from the front-line teachers, which makes Zhang Yunyan's heart feel very touched:
Through his unremitting exploration and study of information teaching, a rural teacher finally reached the highest lecturer hall in China, and it is hard to imagine how much dedication and effort is behind this honor.
Inspired by Zhang Jiangying's teaching of mind maps in the classroom, Zhang Yunyan even applied for a provincial scientific research project on mind map teaching, and embarked on the road of information teaching research.
Hearing about Zhang Jiangying's public welfare education action, Zhang Yunyan also invited Zhang Jiangying to the local public welfare education for the first time.
With the organization and cooperation of the county education bureau, nearly 300 rural teachers, including Zhang Yunyan School and schools in surrounding townships and areas, gathered together to receive Zhang Jiangying's public welfare education training in the countryside.
When encountering difficulties in personal work, daily grinding and information-based teaching, as long as Zhang Yunyan sends the request online, Zhang Jiangying can always provide help in time.

In Zhang Yunyan's eyes,Zhang Jiangying is like an omnipotent and energetic family member, helping him solve all kinds of problems in teaching work anytime and anywhere, under his influence, Zhang Yunyan has never been stingy with her help to the teachers around her, and always does her best to help the growth of young teachers.
As for Zhang Jiangying's public welfare action of sending education to the countryside for many years, Luo Jizhi, principal of Guiding County No. 1 Middle School, felt a lot of emotion.
On Zhang Jiangying,Luo Jizhi saw the brilliance and quality of an educator. Zhang Jiangying's selfless dedication and love for education deeply touched Luo Jizhi and became an example of her hard work and Xi learning.

From the perspective of a school principal, Luo Jizhi deeply feltUnder the requirements of the transformation of education informatization, the importance and urgency of improving the comprehensive quality of rural teachers, and Zhang Jiangying's public welfare action of sending education to the countryside is like a timely rain, infiltrating the hearts of rural teachers who are eager to improve the level of informatization teaching.
In Luo Jizhi's observation, she saw that Zhang Jiangying was not only imparting the knowledge and skills application of information-based teaching, but also continuing to endow rural teachers with an energy of teaching and educating people, as well as a spirit of innovative teaching.

In the book "Outliers", the American writer Gladwell once put forward the famous "10,000-hour rule", saying that "the reason why genius in people's eyes is extraordinary is not superhuman talent, but continuous efforts".
Through a large number of case studies combined with long-term psychological and sociological research, Gladwell quantifies this "effort":
For the average person, if you want to become an expert in a certain field, it will take at least five years to precipitate, that is, 10,000 hours, according to the calculation of working eight hours a day and five days a week.
The most valuable thing about the "10,000-hour rule" is not its guarantee of success, but its high affirmation of the value of perseverance and hard work.
With 28 years of front-line teaching experience, 5 consecutive years of public welfare teaching to the countryside, and almost all year round, he has devoted himself to the revitalization of rural education.
Educational feelings, unlimited energy, and boundless love. These dazzling words are a high degree of condensation of Zhang Jiangying's personal image by the outside world. However,For Zhang Jiangying herself, sending education to the countryside for public welfare is like a mission.
|The tenacity of Chinese rural teachers to learn Xi can be seen everywhere
The first thing that gave Zhang Jiangying this "sense of urgency" was that after she started to try to send public welfare education to the countryside, she personally felt the information gap in the rural teacher team.
According to Zhang Jiangying's observation, although the state has invested a lot in campus informatization teaching hardware, the current level of many rural teachers is not enough to give full play to the strength of these equipment, resulting in a low utilization rate of equipment.
In addition, for rural teachers in remote areas, due to the lack of learning Xi channels and information, many high-quality teaching resources such as Xiwo whiteboard training camp are difficult to integrate into the local area for a while.
In this case, in many cases, only one person in charge of enlightenment is needed to achieve cognitive enlightenment from 0 to 1 through actual teaching and explanation, which can bring about a great change.
And what prompted this "sense of mission" to continue to take root in Zhang Jiangying's heartIt is I who saw the input and efforts of rural teachers to try to change the status quo in order to improve themselves in the process of teaching.
In Guizhou, a teacher in Guiyang braved the heavy rain to drive for two hours on the highway in the mountains just to listen to a lesson by Zhang Jiangying
In Inner Mongolia, after a public welfare send-off, a Mongolian teacher came to bid farewell to him, and a deep bow and a heartfelt thank you deeply moved Zhang Jiangying.
In every time the public welfare sends teachers to the countryside and gets along with local teachers, Zhang Jiangying feels that it is not easy for these people's teachers who stick to the mountainsBecause of their original educational ideals and because they want to respond to the expectations of their students, they have been trying to make themselves better teachers.
|After many years of public welfare and sending education to the countryside, Zhang Jiangying felt deeply
Zhang Jiangying's voice choked up every time she mentioned these simple and lovely people, even though she has been working in the front line of education for nearly 30 years, she is still moved by the tenacity of Chinese teachers.
Zhang Jiangying said frankly that she has been helped by many people on the road to growth, and now she wants to do her best to help more teachers grow.
The core of the revitalization of rural education is hidden in this mutual understanding and perseverance.
Let growth happen
Educational modernization and the construction of an educational power is a cause that needs to be adhered to for a long timeThe wave of rural education revitalization and education informatization transformation does not pursue overnight.
In this process, excellent individuals can certainly play an exemplary role, but the development of the times has called for more front-line educators.
Fortunately, Zhang Jiangying's public welfare education is not alone. In this process, Zhang Jiangying came into contact with and joined the Xiwo Xingtan Project, which coincided with the teacher development concept of "educating teachers with teachers" advocated by her.
|Xiwo Xingtan plan, let growth happen
Compared with the general "famous teachers", the teaching and training of front-line teachers appear to be more practical, and in layman's terms, it is "down-to-earth".
Compared with the unattainable teaching theory, for many rural teachers in remote areas, the greatest value of learning Xi is to be able to apply it to their own teaching practice immediately after training.
And this is the essence of the Xiwo Xingtan planThis teacher professional development program brings together outstanding teachers who have always been exploring education, and helps more teachers grow professionally through an information-based discipline integration training system to create a future-oriented education.
|The Xingtan Project makes the growth of rural teachers no longer lonely
In the Apricot Altar Project,At the same time, we support the establishment of a famous teacher's studio by joining Xingtan tutors, and carry out salons, lectures and other activities, so that teachers can gather to share teaching experience, create high-quality lesson examples, and help teachers improve their information-based teaching ability.
With the help of the Xiwo Xingtan Project, Zhang Jiangying not only has more teaching and training tips in public welfare teaching, but also finds more like-minded Chinese teachers who pursue progress together.
|The Xiwo Xingtan Program has a complete system for the growth and certification of teachers' abilities
Up to now, the Xiwo Xingtan Program has brought together more than 200,000 teachers and more than 1,400 Xingtan star tutors, and has become a teacher ability growth and certification system recognized by education administrative units in many places.
With love and enthusiasm, they have explored a way to educate teachers and grow together
With a firm belief, they strive to spread innovative teaching ideas and technologies to the deepest part of the mountain
They frequently go into the mountains in order to get more people out of the mountains, and eventually eliminate the mountains that have long been invisible between urban and rural education.
In the mountains, the hymn of public welfare is echoing, inspiring many rural educatorsAnd those voices about dedication, hard work and dedication will eventually be transmitted to the hearts of countless mountain students who are trying to change their fate through their words and deeds.
As a result, the seeds of hope for the revitalization of rural education have quietly germinated.
