In order to promote the transformation of compulsory education from "having school" to "learning well", Yinchuan City, Ningxia Province has made great efforts to solve the problem of "difficulty in learning well" for the masses, and the Yinchuan Municipal Education Bureau has explored and practiced the "three threes" working method, solidly promoted the integrated development of urban and rural education and improved the quality of rural education, and strived to run an education that satisfies the people.
The "three coverages" promote the expansion and improvement of high-quality education
A few days ago, in the Chunlin Campus of the Third Primary School of Xingqing District, located in Zhangzheng Town, Xingqing District, Yinchuan City, the fourth grade students of the school are "folding paper-cutting" through the art class on the big screen, and the main teacher on the screen is teaching the same lesson to the students in the third primary school of Xingqing District. "Children like this kind of art class, and the dual-teacher classroom effectively solves the problem of the structural shortage of professional teachers such as our ** and art classes. Zhou Cunhua, executive principal of Chunlin Campus, said.
The school has a total of 155 students, and after being incorporated into the Xingqing District No. 3 Primary School Education Group, the group sent 10 teachers to the Chunlin campus, including 5 backbone teachers. "The group-run school has greatly alleviated the problem of the shortage of teachers in some of our disciplines, so that rural children can also enjoy high-quality educational resources in the city. The total number of students in Chunlin Campus has gradually increased from 100 five years ago to 155, and the quality of education has steadily improved. Zhou Cunhua said.
In recent years, Yinchuan has continuously strengthened the development and utilization of high-quality educational resources, achieved full coverage of trusteeship and assistance, and promoted the realization of co-construction and sharing. "At present, 74 education groups have been set up in the city, covering 158 schools, 28 urban and rural school communities have been established, and urban schools have paired up to help 61 rural schools. Organize 4 municipal high schools to host 5 counties, benefiting more than 240,000 rural students. Gao Xiaojun, director of the Yinchuan Municipal Education Bureau, said.
At the same time, the 134 primary and secondary school subject base schools named and awarded in Yinchuan City cover the whole school period and all disciplines of the city's primary and secondary schools. Yinchuan has established 5 demonstration schools of "new curriculum and new textbooks" in municipal ordinary high schools, driving the integration of 28 urban and rural high schools in the city to steadily promote the reform of the new college entrance examination. Using the national smart education platform, 36 online "venue courses" were developed, radiating 251 urban and rural schools. Driven by the construction of teaching and research communities at the district, city, county and school levels, teaching and research empowerment is fully covered, and with the help of 3 universities and 4 scientific research institutions outside the district, the implementation of "large teaching and research", "school-based teaching and research" and "continuous teaching and research" and other models.
The "three focuses" make up for the shortcomings of teacher development
Tanglai Primary School Education Group in Xingqing District has two rural campuses, Xinshuiqiao Campus and Tongnan Campus, Tanglai Primary School Education Group breaks inter-school boundaries and enhances teacher mobility according to the relevant regulations of school internal exchanges, considering factors such as disciplines, age, and gender. "We have made an overall adjustment to the teaching team, and all the teachers in the two rural schools have been arranged on the job, giving priority to ensuring that the rural schools are fully opened, fully opened, and the national curriculum is opened. In order to encourage teachers to stay in rural areas and avoid students changing teachers every year, the number of years of exchange rotation stipulates that the exchange of rural campuses shall not be less than 2 years, and the exchange of urban campuses shall not be less than 3 years. Yan Mei, secretary of the general party branch of Tanglai Primary School Education Group, said.
Teachers are the key to revitalizing rural education.
In recent years, the number of students in primary and secondary schools in Yinchuan has increased significantly, the allocation of teachers is relatively lagging behind, and the contradiction of teacher shortage is more prominent. Yinchuan City focuses on the allocation of teachers and does a good job of "combination punch", promoting the recruitment of special post teachers, urban backbone teachers teaching, rural teachers following posts, and the implementation of "county management and school employment". "We have established a two-way flow system for urban and rural teachers, and focused on solving the structural shortage of teachers in rural schools through the teaching of subject teachers in the urban and rural school community and online special delivery classes. Gao Xiaojun introduced.
By focusing on the special training of rural teachers, Yinchuan City has radiated and promoted the improvement of the professional ability of rural teachers in the city. Establish 5 rural famous principals, famous class teachers, and famous teacher studios in the city, and give priority to recommending 78 rural teachers to be included in the training objects of district and city backbone teachers, and enter various famous teacher studios to study. Focusing on broadening the channels for teachers' professional growth, relying on the famous teacher's classroom and the famous school online classroom, it has carried out synchronous teaching and research and collaborative lesson preparation with 7 schools including Beijing Shijia Primary School, Fuxue Hutong Primary School, and the Affiliated High School of Beijing Normal University, and established an online famous teacher studio relying on 7 special teachers in Beijing to empower the professional growth of 105 teachers in Yinchuan rural schools.
The "three mechanisms" stimulate the vitality of urban and rural schools
In the process of promoting the integrated development of urban and rural education, Yinchuan City stimulates the vitality of schools with the "three mechanisms" of evaluation mechanism, incentive mechanism and exit mechanism, formulates and issues the "Measures for the Management of Entrustment of Schools Directly under Yinchuan City and Schools under its Jurisdiction" and "Measures for the Assessment and Evaluation of the Achievement of the Goals of Yinchuan Trusteeship Schools" and other policies, adheres to diversified evaluation methods for the evaluation of the effect of entrusted management and running schools, and focuses on the progress of students, teachers' growth and sustainable development of schools in entrusted schools based on the basic basis of school development.
At the same time, Yinchuan has established an incentive mechanism. Teachers who go to rural schools to carry out special delivery classes will be given preference in the year-end assessment and evaluation; Provide financial support to urban schools that undertake the task of trusteeship and assistance. Since the formation of an urban-rural development community between Yongning County No. 2 Middle School and Minning Middle School in Yinchuan City for more than a year, it has been a normal work to carry out special delivery classes. According to Tang Yongfeng, principal of Yongning County No. 2 Middle School, the school's special delivery classroom not only includes teachers' teaching and research activities, but also involves all subjects. The school will include participation in the co-construction activities of the two schools in the work evaluation of teachers, and quantify the selection of the best.
The formation of urban and rural communities for development is conducive to the high-quality and balanced development of compulsory education, narrowing the gap between urban and rural educational resources, and leading the weak through community development. At the same time, in the process of development, common development goals can be determined, which is conducive to the common improvement of the two universities. Tang Yongfeng said.
For schools in urban and rural communities that have been running for more than a certain period of time, through the exit mechanism, experts will be organized to evaluate the schools that meet the exit criteria, and these schools will run schools independently or lead new educational communities in the next step, and gradually grow into new high-quality schools.
Respect the law of interaction between education, science and technology talents, build a better and more resilient education ecology, and cultivate socialist builders and people with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor. Gao Xiaojun said.
