It is a sun-drenched campus where the seeds of dreams take root and thousands of seedlings grow. This is a ship that lifts anchor and sails, full of students, swimming in the ocean of knowledge. This is a fertile soil for ideals to fly, love and responsibility to achieve the future, wisdom and diligence to hold up hope.
Zeng Changchun, the principal of Yilu No. 1 Middle School, grew up in the crises encountered by the school. He has no ostentatious personality and eloquence, and has accompanied the school for 30 years, trying to be a low-key and unknown "doer".
I am a farmer's child, and I am small and introverted, so I have taken too many detours on the way to study. Zeng Changchun said, "So when I was a student, I made up my mind to let the children in the countryside learn from me and avoid detours." ”
Overcome the strong with softness, defeat the strong with the weak, and be as good as water", this is Zeng Changchun's attitude towards life.
When this criterion is put into work, it reflects his "inaction" management style everywhere: on the surface, he is happy to be idle, does not participate in front-line teaching, and is not busy with trivial work; In fact, as the head of the school, he has been loyal and diligent for 30 years, leading the whole school to continue to stride in the right direction.
Bill Gates once said, 'Don't rely on 100% of your own efforts to achieve success, find a way to use 100 people, each of whom gives 1% of their efforts to help you achieve your dreams'. Zeng Changchun said, "Then in the management of education and teaching, I will take care of one person and lose the other, and if I don't do anything, everyone will do everything." ”
Adhering to the management concept of "everyone is the principal, everyone is responsible", every member of the school committee and their families, class teachers, backbone teachers, and the most beautiful teachers of Yilu No. 1 Middle School can play the role of the principal.
In the face of several major crises encountered in the development of Yilu No. 1 Middle School, with the joint leadership of a group of leaders who are brave and brave to act, the school can break through the crisis, break out of the predicament, and turn the crisis into safety every time.
Ten years of sharpening a sword. Zeng Changchun has also been rated as an advanced individual in Zhoukou City, one of the top ten principals in Dancheng County, and a model teacher in Henan Province.
It is his wish to establish virtue and cultivate people, and strive for excellence. It is his dream to continue to start a business and become stronger and bigger. It is his persistence to leapfrog again and educate people to become talents. Guarding the famous school, strict and meticulous, is his starting point.
For the students, for the hometown, for the education, he moved forward bravely and without hesitation.
Clear goals, set measures, strict details.
Climbing out of the swamp of danger and leaving the edge of pain, the leadership team of Yilu No. 1 Middle School took the school as its home, adhering to the spirit of dedication and selfless dedication, and led the school to successfully complete the first five-year plan, that is, "one year can be stable, two years of results, three years to step up, four years to become a famous school, five years to create a brand", and now is steadily promoting the implementation of the second five-year plan, that is, "high-spirited, moral education, stronger and refined, and famous in eastern Henan".
With the realization of the first five-year plan as scheduled, the education and teaching quality of Yilu No. 1 Middle School has also ranked among the top five rural public junior high schools in the county, and the excellent admission rate and outstanding results have made the school receive the first award from the county for 15 consecutive years.
Yilu No. 1 Middle School has also been rated as a demonstration school for the standardization of language and writing in Henan Province, an advanced school for basic education teaching and research in the city and county, an advanced unit for curriculum reform in the province and city, and a four-star school for efficient classrooms in the county.
The development of the school depends on the quality, and the improvement of quality lies in the teachers, and building a capable team of teachers is very important for the development of the school.
Yilu No. 1 Middle School is not only a breeding place for outstanding students, but also a training base for excellent teachers.
Yilu No. 1 Middle School has a team of teachers with profound professional quality, remarkable teaching performance, dedication, love for children and dedication. "The three-foot podium, don't ask about glory and withering all year round; The breeze on both sleeves, looking back, only smells the fragrance of peach and plum. With a high degree of educational responsibility and enthusiasm for educating people, they have contributed their own strength to the cause of education and written a beautiful chapter in the cause of education.
The "Blue Project" is in full swing. With the guidance of the "leading geese", more and more young teachers have found their own education and teaching methods. With the followers of "latecomers", more and more backbone teachers have strengthened the responsibility and responsibility of "passing, helping, and leading".
The school focuses on building a "famous teacher project". In addition to the weekly lectures and evaluations of each teaching and research group, a theme seminar is organized once a month to focus on difficult problems in the field of education and teaching and find ways to solve them.
Insist on charging and aim for continuous improvement. As long as the relevant departments at the higher level have training indicators, Zeng Changchun will try his best to win more places for the school and vigorously support the teachers to go out for training. In 2017, Yilu No. 1 Middle School and Beijing No. 19 Middle School established a hand-in-hand relationship to conduct teaching and research through the Internet, help each other learn, learn from each other's strengths, and continuously enhance teachers' professional ability in exchanges.
There are 10 teachers who won the special prize and the first prize in the county young teacher competition, and every teacher who goes out of Yilu No. 1 Middle School can stand alone and become a leader in the new environment.
Love, strictness, bravery, tenacity, diligence, detail, practicality, loyalty" are the requirements of the teaching style of Yilu No. 1 Middle School, and No. 1 Middle School uses this spirit to guide teachers' behavior.
Why is 'love' number one? The reporter asked.
If there is no love, those who do education are indebted to their students and a burden to themselves. Zeng Changchun, who was counting the history of the school, suddenly slowed down, and said carefully, "Without love, if you want students to become talents, that is empty words, and the fundamental, original intention, and first priority of being a teacher must be love." Some students' home conditions are not good, and teachers will give more attention and care to students, and carry materials to help and comfort them in their spare time. Some teachers see that their children are wearing thin clothes in winter, so they will give them new clothes for their children. If you notice that some students may have psychological problems, you will pay attention to the communication in a timely manner and not leave any student behind.
There are a pair of sisters who study in Yilu No. 1 Middle School, their family is poor, their mother has intellectual disability, and the home environment is dirty and messy, and the two sisters are on the verge of dropping out of school many times in this living environment. In order to allow the two sisters to continue their education, the teachers have repeatedly talked to the two of them, visited the parents many times to communicate, organized teachers to clean up, and the school has recently paid for the re-paving of the yard for their home, and the two sisters have been able to continue their studies under the care of the teachers.
Not long ago, the head teacher, Mr. Hou, found a student with a tendency to be depressed, and after Mr. Hou's patient guidance many times, the student took the initiative to confide in her long-suppressed story.
Teacher Hou learned that the student had a younger sister who died in a car accident, and her parents blamed her, "My sister had an accident because she went to look for you." This student has been taking responsibility for himself for a long time, and from elementary school to junior high school, this pain has been suppressed in his heart and has never been told to anyone. She has been depressed for a long time, so she often wakes up in the middle of the night and often feels out of breath.
When Teacher Hou learned about it, she was stunned at first, then gently comforted, patiently persuaded her, and told her that it was not her fault, and then contacted the student's parents to inform her of the situation.
The parents of the students expressed their gratitude that they only saw that the child was serious and did not know what the crux of the problem was. If it weren't for Teacher Hou, I still don't know what happened to the child.
With the joint efforts of home and school, the haze in the heart of this depressed student was gradually dispelled, and he became cheerful.
There is a student named Xiaohao, who has some intellectual problems, slurred speech, and congenital leg disabilities, and the whole person is more pessimistic and inferior. Zeng Changchun noticed the child, gave him a notebook, and told him, "We are friends, if there is anything, you can tell me at any time." ”
Zeng Changchun and Xiaohao became old friends, and slowly, Xiaohao became more and more confident and cheerful, and his academic performance also rose steadily.
Three years later, when Xiaohao successfully graduated, when he spoke on stage as a representative of the ninth grade students, all the teachers in the audience sighed and sighed to see Xiaohao's progress along the way.
Every student in Yilu No. 1 Middle School is carefully cared for, and the teachers never judge the intimacy based on grades and family conditions, but instead vary from person to person, teach according to their aptitude, and the educational concept of first and then becoming a talent is engraved in the hearts of every teacher.
During the summer vacation of 2017, Guo Sheng, secretary of the Youth League Committee of Yilu No. 1 Middle School, noticed that many square dance lovers like to dance a dance called "shuffle dance", which is fast and powerful, full of dynamics, and many people dance together, which is very powerful on the spot.
If the students also learn the "shuffle dance", they can not only exercise their physical fitness, but also bring more vitality to their spare time, Guo Sheng thought to himself.
With an idea in his head, Guo Sheng immediately paid out of his own pocket, used the vacation time to practice "shuffle dance", and then adapted it according to the characteristics of the students, and quickly taught it to all students as soon as school started.
In the year when the short ** was not popular, Guo Sheng put the student dancing ** on a certain ** platform, and the number of hits was as high as more than 30 million. In 2018, he was on the Dancheng Spring Festival Gala, and won the first prize of the Zhoukou City Recess Gymnastics Competition in the same year, and the third prize of the Henan Provincial University Recess Competition.
In order to let the students "move", led by Guo Sheng, Yilu No. 1 Middle School vigorously founded large and small clubs, which have now grown to 29, covering knowledge development, literature and art, sports, computer and other aspects, in order to develop students' interests and specialties.
The students showed great enthusiasm for the club and looked forward to the "club day" every day.
The club developed by Yilu No. 1 Middle School has never been reduced to a formal decoration, nor has it been occupied by the teacher, the time is fixed on every Thursday afternoon, and the students can go to their favorite activities happily.
This move unleashed the children's nature, enhanced the communication and friendship between the students, and also allowed those students who did not usually have an advantage in academic performance to gain equality, trust and respect on another stage.
Entering the campus of Yilu No. 1 Middle School, there is an antique pavilion on the upper right side of the line of sight, teachers and students call it "Octagonal Pavilion", but Zeng Changchun habitually calls it "Zhongai Pavilion".
The octagonal pavilion green tile cornice, warped cirrus clouds, each corner corresponds to one of the "love, strictness, bravery, tenacity, diligence, fineness, practicality, loyalty" and "eight-character culture" of Yilu No. 1 Middle School, ushering in the day and night, for the heart of heaven and earth, for teachers and students, for the future generations to pass on the mantle.
The eight-character culture" has the word "love" in front of the teaching, and the word "loyalty" in the back, so the "Loyal Love Pavilion" is known as the "eight-character culture" practitioner, refiner, and advocate Zeng Changchun's shouting for the current teachers, and it is also a grassroots educator's ardent expectation for the successors on the inheritance of the mantle.
The exploration and practice of the laws of grassroots education by our generation of educators can bring us useful experiences and systems, which is my thinking and explanation of the education career I have been engaged in all my life. Zeng Changchun touched the paint that had not yet been completely dried in the octagonal pavilion, looked at a thousand-year-old ginkgo biloba facing the corner of the octagonal pavilion, and said meaningfully.
From "one vision" to "two concepts", from "three feelings" to "four teachers", focusing on "five education simultaneously", put forward students' "six wants" and "seven major measures", and then summarized from a high vantage point the "eight-character culture" of both first-class and talented, both educating and nurturing, from the goal to the standard, from the teacher to the student, from the high point to the landing point, Zeng Changchun worked hard to remove the chaff, marking a clear direction for the students and the teaching staff.
This is the "loyalty" of an educator, and it is also the "love" of a gardener for the cause of education.
The name of a famous school lies in the famous teacher, and the name of the famous teacher lies in the famous principal. The octagonal pavilion standing at the gate of Yilu No. 1 Middle School is the instrument of Zeng Changchun to temper famous teachers, and it is also the soul of the spirit of Yilu No. 1 Middle School, and it is also the high degree of unity of Zeng Changchun's educational thought of "teaching to educate people and culture to transform people".
Teachers who came to Yilu No. 1 Middle School first came to the 'Zhongai Pavilion' to find their roots and strengthen their determination. After leaving the teachers of Yilu No. 1 Middle School, they came to the 'Zhongai Pavilion' to check and fill in the gaps and establish their beliefs. This is a consistent tradition of Yilu No. 1 Middle School in the future. Zeng Changchun said with great ambition.
Willing to turn the blood into rain, moisten out the peach blossoms are red", although ploughing in the countryside, but Zeng Changchun and Yilu No. 1 Middle School finally have the heart to praise their father and chase the sun. I think that all the faculty and staff who are deeply influenced by Zeng Changchun, under the guidance of the spirit of responsibility, great love and hard work, will surely realize the educational ideal of "not only making everyone a talent, but also making everyone a better person", so that more Yilu students can go out of Yilu and go to a higher, farther and better tomorrow.
