1.Deeply understand the value of the times of the spirit of educators.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the general secretary of the first class has deepened the requirements for the construction of the teacher team, from the "four haves" good teachers to the "four guides", from the great gentleman who is a student for learning, doing things, and being a person to the unifier of "economic teacher" and "human teacher", and then vigorously promoting the spirit of educators, profoundly clarifying the important influence of teachers on the growth of students, education development and the future of the nation, deepening the understanding of the law of teacher growth, and raising the requirements of the new era for teachers to a new height. It points out the direction for the majority of teachers to take on the important mission of cultivating socialist builders and people and building a strong country in education.
The spirit of educator is rooted in the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation of respecting teachers and valuing education for thousands of years, based on the vivid practice of the teacher group in the new era, which is a vivid portrayal of the outstanding teacher group represented by Li Baoguo, Huang Danian, Wei Xinghua and Gao Mingxuan who have been cultivating the teaching altar for a long time, and is the value consensus condensed by the long-term practice of the majority of teachers, and the condensation and sublimation of the professional spirit of the outstanding teacher group in the new era, which has a strong moral appeal, value leadership and practical driving force.
Education is the great plan of the country and the party, and the spirit of educators has injected a strong spiritual impetus into the construction of a strong country in education. The report to the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasized that education, science and technology, and talents are the basic and strategic support for building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. Education is the intersection of science and technology and talents, education cultivates talents, and talents support science and technology. Education is the source of the continuous emergence of talents and the first move in the development of science and technology, and plays a basic, leading, and overall role in promoting Chinese-style modernization. Teachers are the foundation of education and the source of education, shouldering the sacred mission of educating people for the party and the country, the first resource for the development of education, and an important force for promoting education, science and technology, and talent work in an integrated manner. In the new era, there is an urgent need to build a team of high-quality professional teachers with noble morals, exquisite professionalism, reasonable structure and vitality, so as to provide strong support for comprehensively improving the quality of independent training of talents. The proposal of the spirit of educators is conducive to condensing the spirit of the teaching team, inspiring the majority of teachers to actively devote themselves to the great cause of strengthening the country through education, further promoting the social trend of respecting teachers and valuing education, and enhancing teachers' sense of honor, professional mission and career achievement.
2.Fully comprehend the scientific connotation of the spirit of educators.
**The general secretary comprehensively expounded the rich connotation of China's unique educator spirit from six aspects: ideals and beliefs, moral sentiments, educational wisdom, ploughing attitude, benevolence, and the pursuit of Taoism. To build a team of high-quality teachers, we must fully understand the scientific connotation of the spirit of educators.
The ideal and belief of having a big self and serving the country with sincerity. **The general secretary pointed out that correct ideals and beliefs are the guiding light for teaching and educating people and sowing seeds for the future. The ideals and beliefs of having a big heart and serving the country with sincerity fully reflect the original mission of teachers to devote themselves to the cause of education. Only when teachers have the "great man of the country" in mind, the country and the people in their hearts, and are loyal to the education cause of the party and the people, can they truly build a solid foundation of ideals and beliefs, integrate the "small self" of career development into the "big self" of a strong country in education, and realize their personal value in the grand cause of realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Mr. Wu Yuzhang, known as one of the "Five Elders of Yan'an", has always adhered to the belief that the fate of the individual is closely linked to the destiny of the country and the nation, and has made outstanding contributions to talent training and educational progress by taking soul building and patriotism as his lifelong goal and lifelong spiritual pursuit.
Words are the moral sentiments of the world and the behavior of the world. Teachers not only undertake the historical mission of disseminating knowledge, ideas, and truth, but also shoulder the important task of shaping souls, lives, and new people. This sacred mission and responsibility determines that the teaching profession has a higher moral standard. **The general secretary pointed out: "A qualified teacher should first be a morally qualified person, and a good teacher should first of all be a model who teaches and stands up with virtue." "Wei Xinghua, a people's educator, has been working hard for decades, using the basic principles of Marxist political economy to study practical problems, and giving students the exemplary power of role models in teaching by word and deed.
The wisdom of educating people to enlighten the mind and teach them according to their aptitude. Education should not only bacon cast the soul, but also enlighten the mind and nourish the heart. Young students are full of vigor and are at the critical stage of forming their world view, outlook on life, and values, and they especially need to be carefully guided and carefully cultivated by teachers. Teachers should not only understand the thinking characteristics, learning habits, and growth rules of students, but also respect the individual differences of students, so that each student can find their own track and win the opportunity to shine in life. Huang Danian, a national outstanding teacher, uses a pair for students.
1. The point-to-point personalized training model fully considers students' interests and hobbies, explores students' research potential, guides students to take their own research path, and demonstrates the wisdom of teaching students according to their aptitude.
Diligent and diligent, truth-seeking and innovative attitude. In today's era, the iterative cycle of knowledge update is getting shorter and shorter, and students' knowledge needs are becoming more and more diverse. For teachers to stand firmly on the podium, they must be in awe of the classroom. To give a student a glass of water, the teacher must first fill a bucket of water. Wan Buyan, the most beautiful teacher, has been rooted in the research of marine resources exploration technology for more than 30 years, breaking through the bottleneck problem of the country's key core technologies for seabed drilling, and becoming a model of diligent study, hard work, truth-seeking and pragmatism, and innovation.
Teach love for students and dedication to benevolence. Education is the cause of "benevolence and love", and teaching is the most glorious profession under the sun. **The general secretary pointed out: "A good teacher should cultivate love, inspire love, and spread love with love, narrow the distance with students through true feelings, sincerity, and sincerity, nourish the hearts of students, and make themselves good friends and caring people for students." Yu Yi, a people's educator, adheres to the principle that "there is no education without love", and holds up students' dreams of becoming talents with a heart of benevolence, and becomes an important guide for students' growth.
Mind the world, with the pursuit of cultural people. Teachers must cultivate the feelings of the family and the country and the world, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind through exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations. Teachers should have a global vision, learn from and absorb all the outstanding achievements of human civilization with a broad mind that embraces all rivers, promote the creative transformation and innovative development of China's excellent traditional culture, and enhance young students' sense of identity and pride in the culture of the motherland. Professor Huang Da, winner of the "Wu Yuzhang Lifetime Achievement Award in Humanities and Social Sciences", advocated and practiced cultivating talents who can walk freely on the two cultural platforms of the East and the West, enhancing the international influence of China's financial discipline manpower training.
3.Cultivate great teachers with the spirit of educators.
Carry forward the spirit of educators in the inheritance of red genes. Colleges and universities must firmly adhere to the correct political direction, always adhere to the guidance of Marxism, fully implement the party's education policy, strengthen the party's innovative theoretical arming, and consciously arm teachers' minds with the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Further strengthen the study and education of teachers' history of the Party, the history of New China, the history of reform and opening up, the history of socialist development, and the history of the development of the Chinese nation, and guide teachers to deeply understand "why the Communist Party of China is able and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, in the final analysis, it is Marxism and Marxism in the Chinese era". Among the majority of teachers, we will continue to temper the political character and patriotism of loyalty to the party, shape the spiritual world with the core values of socialism, and enhance the ideological consciousness and action consciousness of inheriting the red gene.
Carry forward the spirit of educators in cultivating teachers' ethics and teaching style. Colleges and universities should vigorously publicize the advanced deeds of role models such as "people's educators", "models of the times", "reform pioneers" and "the most beautiful teachers", fully excavate the advanced models of educators in the new era, tell the stories of educators teaching and educating people, and tell the moving deeds of model teachers around them, give full play to the charisma and leadership of role models, highlight the value of role models, form a powerful force for demonstration and guidance, and inspire teachers to benchmark advanced models, see the sages, and stand up with morality. Carry out the "first class" introduction ceremony for new teachers, hold a grand teacher retirement ceremony, guide young teachers to learn and inherit the way of life, academic spirit and strong character of the older generation of scholars, enhance teachers' sense of professional honor and educational mission, and guide teachers to establish a sense of responsibility and responsibility of "cultivating the teaching altar and strengthening the country".
Carry forward the spirit of educators in teaching and educating people. Colleges and universities must accurately grasp "what people to cultivate, how to cultivate people, and for whom to cultivate people", implement the fundamental task of cultivating people with virtue, take root in the land of China to run education, run ideological and political work through the whole process of education and teaching, realize the whole process of educating people, and educate people in all aspects, and guide students to integrate patriotism, national aspirations, and service to the country into the struggle to uphold and develop the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, and realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Teachers of colleges and universities should consciously face the world's frontiers of science and technology and the major needs of the country, solve the problem of "stuck neck" of key core technologies, continue to march towards the breadth and depth of science and technology, base themselves on China's reality, focus on major theoretical and practical issues, strive to build China's independent knowledge system, and accelerate the construction of a discipline system, academic system and discourse system with Chinese characteristics, Chinese style and Chinese style.
