With the progress of society and the development of education, the evaluation system of teachers' professional titles is also constantly optimized and reformed. In recent years, the national and local governments have introduced a series of new policies on the evaluation of teachers' professional titles, which aim to encourage and safeguard the professional development of teachers, especially those who have been working in the field and rural areas for a long time.
Some regions have begun to try to link the number of years of teaching experience of teachers to their professional titles. This approach is more fair and reasonable, and can fully reflect the actual teaching level and contribution of teachers. Through the accumulation of teaching experience, teachers can gradually be promoted to higher professional titles, so as to obtain better treatment and career development opportunities.
The new "3010" policy, which was first implemented in Jilin Province, has become the focus. The policy provides more development opportunities for teachers engaged in professional and technical work in rural primary and secondary schoolsQualified teachers can directly apply for the corresponding professional titles, and are no longer subject to other conditions.
The core of the so-called "3010" policy is to provide a clear and honest promotion path for teachers who have been working at the grassroots level for a long time. Specifically, "30" means that teachers have been teaching in schools at the county level or below for 30 years and are still engaged in front-line teaching; "10" refers to those teachers who have worked in the first-level teaching position for 10 years and meet the requirements for senior teacher application.In addition to Jilin Province, other provinces have also introduced similar policies. For example, Jiangsu Province stipulates that teachers who have worked in rural schools for 15 years can apply for intermediate titles; 25 years can apply for deputy senior titles; And those teachers who have adhered to it for 30 years can directly apply for senior titles. The introduction of these policies not only improves the professional development opportunities of teachers, but also stimulates their enthusiasm and creativity.
Linking teachers' teaching years with professional titles and reducing the weight of professional titles has a far-reaching impact on teachers' teaching work. First of all, the increased universality of seniority pay means that teachers who have worked the front line for a long time will receive more reasonable remuneration. This kind of system design is undoubtedly a great affirmation and encouragement for those teachers who stick to their posts and dedicate themselves silently.
Secondly, reducing the interference of professional title evaluation on teachers' work is another highlight of the reform. In the past, many teachers often faced various pressures unrelated to the quality of teaching in order to evaluate their professional titles, and they had to distract their energy from activities such as publishing and participating in training, which undoubtedly distracted them from their teaching work. However, once job titles are linked to teaching seniority, teachers will have more time and space to focus on improving the quality of teaching and researching more deeply into educational and teaching issues to better meet the growth needs of students.
In addition, reducing the weight of professional titles can also help optimize the educational environment, so that teachers can pay more attention to the individual differences and holistic development of students. Education is not only about imparting knowledge, but also about cultivating students' character, sentiments and values. Reducing the weight of professional titles allows teachers to better understand the nature of education, refocus on students, and truly teach students according to their aptitude.
To sum up, linking the teaching experience of teachers with professional titles and reducing the weight of professional titles can not only improve the treatment level and work enthusiasm of teachers, but also return education to its essence, so that every teacher can devote himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of teaching and educating people. This is undoubtedly a tremendous impetus and contribution to China's educational cause.
We look forward to the full implementation of this policy in 2024.
