Moral education characteristics of Gutang Middle School, Zhenhai District, Ningbo City

Low starting point, pay attention to details, emphasize practical results, and seek development

Gutang Middle School is a newly built junior high school in the second round of education layout adjustment in Zhenhai District. It was opened in August 2004 It was officially established in March. The school is located at the urban-rural fringe, with a poor surrounding environment. Students come from the former Longsai Junior High School, Yufan Middle School, Linjiang Middle School, and Guisi Middle School. One-third of the students are from other places. The attrition rate of high-quality students is high, and there are gaps in students’ living backgrounds. In addition to the newly admitted junior high school and Longsai classes, other students have been re-divided into classes, which has brought severe challenges to moral education work. How to get through the running-in period with stability and improvement? After research, the school’s moral education leading group decided to take the construction of teachers’ ethics and students’ education as the focus of moral education in the early stages of the school’s establishment. “Low starting point, attention to details, practical results, and development” gradually adapted to the actual moral education characteristics of Gutang. form.

The following is a brief introduction to some details of moral education work:

Color-separated badges, orderly management, and good entry and exit

Our students have noon time Those who go home to eat, some eat at school at noon, and some who stay on campus five days a week. In order to distinguish different students and control entry and exit, a color-coded badge system has been implemented, that is, only blue cards can leave the school at noon, and blue cards can leave school at noon. Cards require parental consent; yellow cards can leave school after school; boarding students have red cards and can only leave school on Friday when they go home. The Political and Education Office has registered the basic information of all students. The badges cannot be altered or lent to others. If they are lost, they must go to the Political and Education Office to get a temporary card. After learning about this move, many parents agreed. They felt that their children would not have to worry about going out to play games or eat fast food at noon or evening when they went to school. Parents were very relieved.

In order to closer contact between home and school this semester, United Mobile Company launched a school newsletter. Although it took a lot of time to take photos and classify in the early stage, the new card is not easy to be damaged and the effect is obvious after operation.

Combining management with guidance and focusing on details to develop education

As soon as they entered our school, most of them felt that the campus environment is clean and beautiful. In fact, a lot of efforts have been made in this aspect. At this time, the difference in hygiene habits of our students is unimaginable. Within the first week of school last year, we found boarding students urinating on the balcony and defecating on the stairs of the teaching building. The difference in the quality of our parents is obvious when students first I realized this after I checked in. After they left, cigarette butts, mineral water bottles, etc. could be seen everywhere on the campus. Faced with such a cruel reality, we start from the lowest level of compliance with the rules, clarify the most basic requirements for students' campus life, accept inspections, and forcibly correct bad habits. For example:

1. Garbage classification: Each student in the class uses waste paper to make a garbage box at any time, or prepares garbage bags to collect the garbage they generate. The class prepares classified garbage bags that can be recycled. Recycling is done during Monday cleaning, and the garbage to be taken out is put into snakeskin bags and thrown away in the garbage room to avoid being blown away by the wind on the road.

2. Hanging mops at fixed points: Originally, mops were placed in each classroom, which looked crowded, could not be dried easily, and did not meet the hygiene requirements. The school specially installed them on a wall behind the cafeteria. Nails, each class number is hung at a fixed point, which solves this problem. Over the past year, habits have been formed. Starting from this semester, the numbering has been cancelled, and mops have become a shared resource. Each class can take and use them as needed, which is economical and convenient.

3. Get on the bus in a team: After school, line up in front of the teaching building. According to the regulations of odd and even weeks, men and women take turns to take the bus. Those who have their turn to sit in the front row will then leave the school under the leadership of the pick-up person. Students are not allowed to pass the pick-up attendant.

4. 1-meter line for buying vegetables in the canteen: imitate the 1-meter line setting of the bank, and queue up outside the 1-meter line to buy vegetables.

5. Student grooming: Check regularly once a month and accept surprise inspections at any time. Wearing jewelry, special hairstyles, and strange clothes will be investigated and punished one by one. If rectification fails within a time limit, parents will be contacted to implement rectification.

6. Bicycle placement: Unlocked bicycles and bicycles without license plates should be locked with public locks and registered with the teacher on duty to unlock them.

In the specific implementation process of these small rules, the functions of the class teacher, life teacher, weekly duty post, civilized supervision post, and student union are effectively brought into play, and a unified management division of labor and responsibility is established, so that students can slowly From being constrained to self-restraint, thus forming self-control.

Some experts believe that for a behavior to appear, it must be trained for more than a month. Correction of bad habits is also an aspect of cultivating good habits. Its iterative and procedural nature must be accepted.

What makes me deeply aware is that when the first year of junior high school students first started school in September, they frequently crossed the lawn and trampled on the lawn. We spent a month conducting special rectifications, found one, and ordered two to be reported. Two weeks later, the improvement was obvious, and now it is basically invisible.

There is love in strictness, and subtle influence will make the prodigal come back

"Xue Ji" said: "Know his heart, and then he can save him from losing his way. The teacher also learns to be good and saves him. Those who are lost." Only by knowing one's heart can one "save the lost" and "grow good". As a moral education cadre, you must first be a close friend of students, build a spiritual bridge with sincerity, and let students trust you. Writing essays is a good way to communicate with teachers and students. At the beginning of this semester, let several students who have been punished by school discipline write essays in the form of weekly diaries. At first, students mostly focused on coping, and the content was mostly narrations of daily life or pale reflections, and there was always a distance in reading. So I suggested that they talk about their childhood, their families, and their extracurricular life. "Speak from the heart and write like the person they are." In the students' articles, their joys, sorrows, and joys were more or less revealed. I Just grab a few words and express your own opinions. Gradually, when the students discovered that what was left in their weekly diaries was not the teacher's authoritative but cold teachings, their expressions of emotion became more sincere, and the time to submit their weekly diaries became earlier and earlier. I believe that through my efforts, I will have some positive influence on them. This approach is now being implemented among class teachers.

In 2006, the construction of campus culture will be the focus of moral education work. Improve students' personality and taste through extensive campus culture penetration, so that they can become middle school students who love life, love learning, have a sense of responsibility and have a sound personality.
