Unique reading path

——Daily update day 255

For every teacher, there is a unique reading path, because of each teacher’s intellectual background, life experience, and knowledge accumulation , hobbies, etc. are all different, and I am no exception.

The Barren Romantic Period

The romantic period of reading begins at the birth of life. Parents’ language and surrounding culture are all the first reading. Stories are the most valuable life nutrition for preschoolers. , which laid a solid foundation for my reading ability and desire to read.

My father is an ordinary farmer with a junior high school education. At that time, he was considered a very knowledgeable person in our village. When I was a child, my father would tell my brother and me stories from "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" before going to bed at night. Sometimes he would tell jokes, and sometimes he would also give us riddles for us to guess. We listened with gusto.

In my impression, on weekdays, villagers constantly brought letters from relatives in other places for my father to read, and asked my father to write replies on their behalf. My father always read and wrote patiently. Every Spring Festival, the villagers would take red paper and ask their father to write Spring Festival couplets for them. My father carefully cut the red paper, opened the "Spring Festival Couplets", and wrote carefully. I also took a brush and scribbled beside it.

At that time, the family's financial situation was not good, so my father bought blank paper from the street, copied ancient poems and pasted them on the wall as decoration. I still remember that the four poems posted on the nave are Mao Zedong's "Qinyuan Spring·Snow", "Shui Tiao Ge Tou·Going Back to Jinggangshan", Su Shi's "Red Cliff Ode", and Yue Fei's "Man Jiang Hong". There is also a poem in the lower left corner of the wall. There is a famous line from Lu Xun's "Self-mockery", "A cold eyebrow is pointed at a thousand people, and the head is bowed and I am willing to be a ox". On the east and west walls are Su Shi's "Inscription on the Western Forest Wall" and Li Bai's "Wang Lushan Waterfall". On the back of the door are Li Shen's "Compassion for the Peasants". I have memorized these simple poems by heart since I was a child. After I went to school, when I learned these poems, I was very excited because I could already memorize them! I only read the longer words in the middle section often and did not memorize them at the time, but these words have already taken root in my mind, and my Chinese scores have always been particularly good.

I am lucky in life. When I was in elementary school, I looked through my father's book collection at home and read "The Biography of Yue Fei", "Generals of the Yang Family", "Journey to the West", etc. These books deeply attracted me. It opened my eyes to a wider world beyond real life.

In school, when I saw a classmate who had a good book, I couldn’t wait to borrow it and read it. I read a lot of comic books and some magazines. I remember that "The Golden Boy" particularly attracted me. "Composition Guidance Newspaper" and "Primary School Student Study Newspaper" are also publications that I like to read. I remember that when I was in the third grade of elementary school, the school organized an essay competition, and I won the first prize.

After entering junior high school, I developed the habit of writing a diary and taking reading notes. The diary records every detail of my life and study, and the reading notes excerpt some beautiful words and sentences, some good articles, and some interesting things in my life. Some little knowledge. The study tasks became more and more heavy, and I read less big books. I came into contact with some magazines. What I remember most clearly is that my deskmate had a copy of "Story Club". We used our spare time to read together eagerly. . Later, I subscribed to a learning aid publication whose name I can’t remember, as well as “Middle School Students’ Reading”, “Middle School Students’ Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry” and “Composition”. Later, some romance novels by Qiong Yao also entered my life.

During the summer vacation, I watched "Sunny Day", "Ten Thousand Mountains Are Red", "A Ming Yan", "Awakening Words", etc. at home, and there were also some reflections that I couldn't remember the names of A large novel about rural life, as well as several martial arts novels by Jin Yong and Gu Long.

After I went to normal school, my academic burden was not so heavy. I had more time to study and the school also had a library. I read some Chinese and foreign classics, such as "A Dream of Red Mansions", "The Complete Works of Lu Xun", "Ordinary" "The World", "The Siege", "Muslim Funeral", "The Count of Monte Cristo", "Jane Eyre", etc., as well as some popular reading books at the time, such as "Carnegie's Way to Success", "Square and Circle", etc. In addition to studying, I also took self-study courses in Chinese language and literature.

I have read a lot of books, but according to the perfect reading map, I found that I was suffering from romantic sterility. On the one hand, the number was not enough, and on the other hand, the types were single, including Tang poetry and Song lyrics, modern poetry, biographies, and history. He has not been involved in literature, philosophy and other fields.

? The precise period of boring

After graduating from the normal school, I went to teach in an elementary school. Because of my love for literature, I chose to teach Chinese without hesitation. In my first year of work, I was dedicated to my job, managed the relationship with students very harmoniously, made outstanding teaching achievements, and was deeply appreciated by my leaders. I also felt a special sense of accomplishment. At that time, students all subscribed to the "Primary School Student Study Newspaper". As soon as I got each issue of the newspaper, I would lead the children to read together and encourage them to submit articles. The students I tutored even won prizes in the essay competition! In my spare time, I studied all the courses in college by myself, and came into contact with Wei Shusheng's books "Teacher's Talk", "Class Teacher's Work", "The Analects of Confucius", "Zhuangzi", etc.

Five years later, when I went to junior high school, I switched to teaching mathematics because of work needs. During this period, I hardly read.

Three years later, I switched to teaching Chinese. I realized that my knowledge was narrow, and I felt uneasy. In order to make up for it, I started to read famous books related to the teaching materials, such as Qin Wenjun's "Boy Jia Li" and "Jia Li". "Girl Jia Mei", Bing Xin's "Stars and Spring Water", Gorky's autobiographical trilogy "Childhood", "In the World", "My University", Ba Jin's "Home", "Spring", "Autumn", etc. I also read Chinese traditional cultural classics, such as "The Book of Songs", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "Zengguang Xianwen", "Zhu Xi's Family Instructions", etc.

When my two children were very young, I bought them a lot of small books and read them with them. When my children are a little older, I apply for a library card at the bookstore and often borrow books to read. I also often take them to the bookstore to select their favorite books and read them with them. Both children's Chinese scores are excellent, their articles are well written, and they both won prizes in composition competitions! After learning that Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize for Literature, I read some of his books.

Later, my family and I had differences over the issue of educating our children, so I went to the library to get a library card and read many Chinese and foreign tutoring books. The realm in the book was very beautiful, but some authors I was a little confused because of the conflicting views. In real life, I was severely limited and unable to practice it. I once fell into a low point in my life and was trapped in a whirlpool of negative emotions. I suspected that I was suffering from depression, so I started reading psychology and motivational books in an attempt to save myself. However, I lacked thinking and the more I read, the more confused I became. It hurts inside. I once vowed that if one day I stopped being a teacher, I would become a psychiatrist.

I knew that I had a lot of unopened inner knots, so I consulted people in the industry. After work, I went to study at a psychological institution in Nanyang City and obtained the National Level 3 Psychological Counselor Certificate. I thought everything would be fine once I got the certificate, but it turned out that I still had a lot of confusion in my heart. Later, I studied in depth with professional teachers and explored inwardly. During this period, I read Zhang Defen's spiritual trilogy: "Meeting the Unknown Self", "Meeting the Brand-new Self", "Meeting the Self Who Wants All Things Come True", and some books by Bi Shumin: "Seven Games of the Soul", "Red" "Prescription", "Female Psychologist", "Save the Breasts", as well as "The Feeling of Heaven", "Lies on the Clinic Chair", "Zero Limit", etc. Life is slowly seeing the light of day.

After studying, I learned that my childhood was traumatic, and I didn’t want students to get hurt, so I took extra care of the students’ minds at work. I was more than kind but not strict enough. In my spare time, I volunteered as a mental health counselor for all students in the school. The misalignment of work and identity made me feel that I had insufficient knowledge reserves in teaching, was unable to meet my expectations, and my teaching performance lagged behind.

I also wanted to make a breakthrough, so I also read Teacher Wei Shusheng’s "Discussions on the Work of Class Teachers", "Discussions on Teaching Work", "Being the Best Teacher" by Teacher Li Zhenxi, and Suhomlins Ji's "Advice for Teachers". I particularly yearn for the beautiful realm described in the book by teachers. I especially want to be a good teacher and practice it in my own work. However, I have only a little understanding of the content in the book and overemphasizes it. In the teacher-student relationship, instead of becoming a problem-solving expert, they have become a problem-creating expert. Classroom discipline is still not good, students are still not motivated to learn, and teaching results are still unsatisfactory, because students' interests and whole lives are not guided to Amidst the charm of knowledge, I was once confused inside.

Later, when I encountered a crisis at work, I almost collapsed, and my son, who was in junior high school, also stayed home from school. I knew that the opportunity to break through myself had come, and I thought of Mencius’ words: “When heaven is about to entrust a great task to a man, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, and deplete his body. Endurance can help you gain what you cannot." I can only keep learning, constantly improving myself, and improving myself.

So I re-read "Appreciating the Universe" by Teacher Zhou Hong, "A Good Mother is Better than a Good Teacher" and "The Most Beautiful Education is the Simplest" by Teacher Yin Jianli. I came into contact with the courses of Hande Zhixin Co., Ltd., went to the local Zhixin Center to participate in salons, studied courses such as "The Power of Enlightenment", "Source of Power" and "Green Belt Elite Training Class", and obtained the Green Belt Psychological Coaching Certificate. Certificate. I re-read "Zero Limit", and successively read "Coaching Parents", "Capturing Children's Sensitive Period", "Laughing at Life" by moral model Tian Xiuying and other books, and repaired myself bit by bit.

In December last year, the school sent me to Peking University to participate in the national training program. It was the first time in my life to go to Peking University. I was intoxicated by the strong cultural atmosphere of Peking University, as if a frog jumped out of the well and saw the infinitely vast sky. The professors at Peking University are knowledgeable, modest, reserved, and gentle. The famous teachers in Beijing are excellent and eager to learn. The teachers who study with me are also knowledgeable and versatile.

What impressed me the most was Teacher Zhao Guohua from Guizhou. He and I had the same starting point. Both came from rural areas and both graduated from normal schools. The difference is that I am still an ordinary teacher, and through continuous learning, he has grown into a national-level famous teacher. He has made great achievements for many children and families. I admire his great love and ability to turn stones into gold. I want to be like him.

Beijing does a particularly good job in quality education, and students develop in an all-round way. The slogan at the entrance of Beijing 101 Middle School, "Enter 101, you will be happy for a lifetime" is still fresh in my memory. Teacher Wang Lipeng recommended us After reading "Deliberate Learning", after returning home from the national training, I bought this book online as soon as possible, read it in one sitting, and then read "The Miracle of Classroom No. 56". I really want to apply it in my work and achieve breakthroughs, but I still don’t get the point.

Inspired by the role model, I started writing daily articles on the platform when I was studying in the national training school. Taking 100 days as a small stage, the number of words increased from at least 100 words per day to at least 300 words per day now, step by step.

Reflecting on this period, I started working, and it was time to start reading. However, many of the books I read only stayed in the perceptual reading of the romantic period, and my ontological knowledge was seriously lacking. In the classroom, students can only be taught some shallow knowledge, unable to tap out the inherent charm of knowledge, and lose the overall vitality and spiritual temperament of the Chinese language. Just having an in-depth understanding of courses and books in psychology and humanities has expanded the width of the reading pyramid. Next, we must continue to build the width, and at the same time, we must read professional books to complete the height construction of the pyramid.

? Start professional reading

During the winter vacation, by chance, I saw the enrollment announcement of the New Education Network Teachers College in the "Zhenxi Teahouse" public account. I was very excited. The sizes are the same, and I also have the opportunity to take classes from the admired teacher Li Zhenxi, which is great! I want to learn, I want to grow, I want to reach excellence from the ordinary, and live a happy and complete educational life!

So, I couldn’t wait to submit my reading history, and finally received the good news of admission.

I knew that learning for new network teachers was particularly difficult, so I chose the "Developmental Psychology" course as my first choice. I felt that I had the foundation and should be fine. After half a year of hard work, I finally achieved good results.

This semester, I originally wanted to take the relatively easy elective "Positive Psychology in Education". Later, due to the adjustment of the curriculum, it was all changed to general courses. I made up the class collectively to lay the foundation for reading.

I began to read the study materials repeatedly and read the related book "Teacher's Reading Map" in one go. I had not read many of the books recommended in the book. This is the knowledge I need to supplement most at the moment. I really want to buy all the books and read them, but I think of Dean Hao’s advice. You may not have time to read them if you buy them, and you may not understand them after reading them. I just start from the content of the study materials and read each book one by one. Come and read relevant books!

Xinwang Teacher has pointed out the direction for me, and it is the most suitable home for my professional growth. In the future, I will follow closely, read classics, start precise intellectual reading, and work with like-minded friends. Climb the Mount Everest of education and live a happy and complete educational life!
