What is a "three-dimensional" teacher? Su Zuxiang, a teacher from Hubei Province, gave his own definition in his new book "Being a "Three-perched" Teacher (published by Jiangsu Phoenix Science and Technology Publishing House): can teach, read, and write. "Being a "Three-perched" Teacher" is also divided into three sections: "Teaching and Thinking", "Reading and Thinking" and "Writing and Gaining", recording the thoughts and deeds of daily education and teaching, the experience of reading and watching movies, thinking and questioning about history and reality, the ultimate meaning of life and other serious topics.
In most people's imagination, as a high school Chinese teacher, reading should focus on college entrance examination research, text interpretation, classroom records, and education and teaching. However, as a "three-perched" teacher, you must read a wide range of books and have a broad vision, from classical Chinese poetry and songs, pre-Qin Zhuzi, drama**, education and teaching, to world history, philosophy, science and ......In "Being a "Three-Living" Teacher", the books and movies mentioned include "My Name is Red", "The Story of the West Chamber", "Ninety-three Years", "A Tale of Two Cities", "Ideal Country", "Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fate of Human Society", "Beautiful Life", "Death Poetry Society", etc., all inclusive, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign.
"Sanbi" teachers are based on the books they read, and they complete the students to achieve themselves. The article "Poetry and Love in the Same Color, Art and Technology Fly Together" is a preface written by Mr. Su for a student's poetry collection, which records the story of the student's continuous improvement of cognition, pursuit of love and career under his guidance, and finally the teacher and student became colleagues with the same values. In "The Stone: A Symptom of Rebellion and Disillusionment," he considers the rebellious people portrayed in classical Chinese literature as being recruited or destroyed; In "Dignity and Wisdom: The Meaning of History", he compares the different fates of Chinese and Japanese contemporaries Xu Jiji and Fukuzawa Yukichi, and considers the tragedy of human alienation and the possible ...... of dignity in the face of power
Teachers can break the restrictions of teaching subjects and professions, strive to expand cognitive boundaries, and strive to establish a relatively complete knowledge structure. In this book, Ms. Su's writing inadvertently presents a variety of hobbies and interdisciplinary thinking. In the article "Poetry Recitation Makes the Seven Orifices of the Earth Bleed", he criticized the "poetic overflow and lack of rationality" in daily Chinese teaching, revealing that the problem of recitation is essentially a problem of language pollution caused by power. In the reading notes of "My Name is Red", he shows his familiarity with art, art history, and world history, and thinks about the power of human beings to get rid of ignorance and move towards the light; In the article "Nature is the Appearance of Freedom", Mr. Su takes the children to get close to nature, observe living beings, and respect all things in nature from the heart. He is a naturalist lover, a patient and meticulous uncle and grandfather, and an older generation full of responsibility; In addition to art, books, films, and intellectual history, he even learned about the concepts and possibilities of time and space, and showed his strong interest in science and philosophy.
Wang Xiaobo said, "The pursuit of wisdom and interests has nothing to do, it is a kind of interest", "people with literary and historical cultivation live in a long period of time from the past to modern times", "people with scientific knowledge can foresee the future, and they live in the vast and boundless future from the present." Based on this, it is the love of knowledge and wisdom behind the multi-identity and interdisciplinary and multi-field writing, the efforts of small individuals to get rid of the limitations of the body and go to the vast time and space, and the sense of mission and responsibility to search for the truth from the heart.
"Sanbi" teachers are not only thinking and writing, but more importantly practicing as teachers. In "Snowballing: Reading Methods in Response to Unfamiliar Scenes", Ms. Su recorded the course practice of guiding students to cross-border reading according to the new requirements of cross-border reading in the new college entrance examination. Mr. Su's students analyze current political news, share reading essays, exchange feelings of classic reading, **scientific development, taste of China and foreign countries**, this is the down-to-earth and ambitious practice and efforts of educational idealists. "* Impulsiveness, the "Monster"" records the practical process of helping a student cope with emotional control, Mr. Su created a theme course of "emotional control" to solve students' problems. It reflects the efforts of teachers to pay attention to the diverse needs of students' life growth and strive to serve the diverse needs of students' growth. Compared with reading and writing, as a teacher, Ms. Su's curriculum awareness is more detail-oriented, and she is committed to solving trivial problems and helping students improve and grow.
To be a "three-dimensional" teacher is to mobilize all the resources that one can mobilize to read, write, and teach. And "Being a "Three-Perched" Teacher" shows the process of an ordinary Chinese teacher reading across borders, improving himself, and striving to become a good teacher.
