■Promote the spirit of educators in the region
Carrying forward the spirit of educators is an inevitable requirement for building a strong country in education in the new era. At the regional level, how can educators be integrated into teacher training? The regional weekly has set up a special column "Promoting the Spirit of Educators in the Region", inviting scholars and administrators to offer suggestions and suggestions, so stay tuned.
Editor. On the occasion of the 39th Teacher's Day, the general secretary sent a message to the majority of teachers, emphasizing the need to "vigorously promote the spirit of educators" from six aspects: ideals and beliefs, moral sentiments, educating wisdom, ploughing attitude, benevolence, and the pursuit of Taoism. *The general secretary profoundly explained China's unique educator spirit, which is the spiritual guidance for the construction and development of teachers in the new era, and the belief support for accelerating the construction of an educational power.
Yongchuan District of Chongqing Municipality attaches great importance to the construction of the teacher team, and from the actual situation of regional education development, it has established the chain regional education development idea of "talent revitalization, organizational revitalization, ecological revitalization, and education revitalization" with the regional promotion of the "educator spirit" as the focal point, and opened the practice of "one learning, two trees, and three actions" to promote the spirit of educators in the region.
One learn:
Focus on connotation and enhance spiritual pursuit
Focusing on the spiritual connotation of educators, Yongchuan District has implemented the education and learning of "internal and external training".
Combined with party building, the Education Working Committee of the District Party Committee has carried out various forms of special research, in-depth research on the spiritual growth of regional teachers, and explored an effective path to learn and carry forward the "educator spirit". The secretary of the Party Working Committee took the lead in attending the party class, preaching the spirit of educators, incorporating the "spirit of educators" into the content of the system-wide theme party day learning activities, and convening party member conferences and teachers' conferences at all levels to moisten the hearts and minds of regional teachers. At the same time, with the help of the District Education Commission, the "Principal's Night School" propaganda channel was opened to talk about education, talk about teachers, and spread the spirit to teachers and ordinary people in the district. With the help of the regional internal magazine "Yongchuan Education", a special column of "Teachers' Voices and Perceptions" was launched to publish the learning thoughts and work cases of the majority of teachers, and publicize the teachers' educational feelings and value pursuits.
The vigorous advocacy of the District Education Commission has received positive responses from all kinds of schools at all levels, and they have carried out special learning activities such as "night classes in 100 schools" and "teachers' forums". Yongchuan Middle School held a "Cultural People" Teacher Forum to learn, internalize and disseminate the rich connotation of the spirit of educators; Beishan Middle School carried out the special activity of "Educator in My Heart" to exchange the spiritual value of educators in learning; Xuanhua Middle School carried out the theme activity of "Everyone Lectures on Party Lessons" to cultivate teachers' beliefs, character, attitudes and realms; Xinglonghu Primary School organized a "calligraphy and painting" exhibition to write, depict and give a speech on the spirit of educators.
The "educator spirit" has been implemented in Yongchuan District into four spirits with regional characteristics: the spirit of "benefiting the world and benefiting the common people" with loyalty and serving the country as the core, the spirit of "learning to be a teacher for a lifetime" with research and enterprising as the core, the spirit of "bowing down and being willing to be a cow" with dedication and steadfastness as the core, and the spirit of "village screw" with simplicity and perseverance as the core. The four spirits are integrated, inspiring and leading teachers to root the spirit of educators in their hearts and find their own spiritual home.
Two Trees:
Set an example and exemplify the spirit of the region
Guided by the spirit of educators, Yongchuan District has established a "pyramid" teacher training system with the linkage of schools, districts and cities. Relying on the guidance of municipal-level talents, famous teachers, special teachers, subject leaders, subject teachers, and backbone teachers, we will discover and train regional outstanding teachers, set them up as regional "educators" role models, and carry forward the spirit of educators in batches, stratification, and steps.
The first is to promote and highlight the values, so that positive energy, the big picture and high beliefs become the spiritual pillar and belonging of teachers; The second is to teach and teach, so that it becomes the normal state for teachers to devote themselves to learning, concentrate on research, and do everything carefully. Finally, it is to forge a strong personality and faith. These three stages are gradually advanced from understanding to internalization, from acceptance to believing, and the unity of knowledge and action is to create a happy campus, a harmonious home, and a beautiful pastoral three-in-one Yongchuan-style "three parks" spiritual core.
The District Education Commission coordinates the schools in the district, and selects outstanding teachers to form a "role model" talent resource pool from the six aspects of ideals and beliefs, moral sentiments, educational wisdom, ploughing attitude, benevolence, and Hongdao pursuit, and selects outstanding teachers to form a "role model" talent resource pool for schools in the district, and carries out a series of "à la carte" tour service activities for schools in the district. Each school combines its own "short, thin, weak" and development needs to carry out online "ordering", and the district education committee selects and arranges suitable excellent teachers in the resource pool according to the needs of the school to provide door-to-door guidance and services. So far, 60 schools have placed orders for "à la carte".
Among the 28 "role models" of itinerant service, there are students who are highly educated and upright, and are "close to their teachers and believe in their ways; respect his teacher, follow his deeds"; Yang Xingli, who has adhered to the original intention of education for 28 years and was suffering from cancer but resolutely charged to the front line of the classroom; There is a gold medal teacher Liu Li, who has been like a day for 30 years, taking the school as his home and nurturing love with love, ......These vivid cases fully demonstrate the spirit of dedication and selfless dedication of teachers in the new era. An ordinary and ordinary good teacher, with his own education story and struggle experience, interprets the beautiful combination of ordinary teachers and "educator spirit".
Three actions:
The unity of knowledge and action, holding high the red flag of "five hearts".
The key to promoting the spirit of educators in the region lies in hard work, and the important thing is action. Yongchuan District vigorously implements the "five hearts" action and raises the "five hearts" red flag.
The first is to uphold the "original intention" of educating people. Strengthen party building, advocate the majority of teachers to be loyal to the party's educational cause, establish lofty educational ideals, and temper and improve the educational personality. Strengthen organizational support, optimize job responsibilities and functions, promote the balanced allocation of resources, and promote the construction of group schools with urban-rural integration. Activate the original intention of education, with the help of platforms such as "learning to strengthen the country" and "smart education", carry out activities such as "winter training for 10,000 party members" and "100 principals recommend good books", so as to radiate and drive the overall spirit of teachers to improve and improve.
The second is to cultivate sincere "love". Cultivate teachers' love for education and deep educational feelings, honest educational ethics, firm educational pursuit, and broad educational pattern, and strive to promote the high-quality development of regional education. Yongchuan District has carried out activities such as "Promoting Noble Teacher Ethics and Cultivating People with Concentration", "Yongchuan Good Teacher" Speech Contest, Art Festival Performance, Reading Star and other activities to vigorously promote the spirit of educators.
The third is to concentrate on cultivating "wisdom". Advocate and lead the majority of teachers to insist on dedicating themselves to research, cultivating wisdom and increasing wisdom. Pay attention to "tamping the foundation" and "breeding", and organize and implement national, municipal, district, regional and school-based five-level training. In view of the hot spots, key points, and difficulties in education, efforts are made to carry out research on special issues such as homework design, delayed service, and ideological and political integration. Pay attention to the professional development of teachers, and hold activities such as the "Tangcheng Cup" primary and secondary school (kindergarten) teachers' basic teaching skills competition, and the high-quality course competition for young teachers in primary and secondary schools.
Fourth, work together to "work together". Promote the construction of the teacher team led by the spirit of educators as a whole, build a diverse learning and research community, and realize the empathy of values, the sharing of educational resources, the co-creation of development mechanisms, and the co-construction of famous teachers. Five types of communities are constructed through internal introduction and external outreach: the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Twin City Circle Coordinated Development Strategic Cooperation Community with complementary regional cultures, the "University + Teaching and Research Staff + Front-line Teachers" Triple and Three Dynamic Education and Research Community seeking intellectual support, the 18 preschool and primary school education group communities in urban and rural schools, the 22 famous teacher studio communities with urban and rural teachers, and the classroom teaching and research community with star groups of famous subject teachers, special teachers and backbone teachers. The five types of communities can effectively break through the difficulties of rural development, break down the barriers of mutual assistance between schools, and make up for the imbalance between urban and rural areas.
Fifth, establish "confidence" to move forward. The cultivation of the spirit of educators is the forging of the soul of teachers, which can neither be achieved overnight nor conform to the rules. Yongchuan District has seen the opportunities and challenges of the digital era, vigorously carried out information technology training for all teachers, created a smart education platform, and held activities such as the selection of high-quality courses, homework design competitions, and "Tangcheng Cup" basic skills competitions, so as to enrich digital and intellectual resources, provide intellectual resources for the development of teachers, and establish confidence to move forward.
