Reflections on teachers' poetic life and professional growth

As a math teacher who has just worked for half a year, I gradually realize the importance of self-growth and try to improve it through my own efforts. It is said that holidays are a good time for teachers to recharge their batteries and replenish their energy. No, in addition to autonomous learning, the school also provided everyone in our central theoretical study group with learning materials: The Poetic Life and Professional Growth of Teachers written by Xiao Chuan, a doctor of education.

We often can't do great things, but we can do small things with great love. The highest state of life is to live in your own feelings and make unremitting efforts for valuable goals. ..... When I saw the elegant cover full of poetic and philosophical language, this book deeply attracted me. So I started reading with curiosity and enthusiasm. It turns out that this book is a collection of 67 educational essays written by Professor Xiao Chuan in the past 20 years. These include "living poetically", "teachers' liberation", "teachers are idealists", "teachers' learning and growth", "paying attention to the classroom", "my teaching philosophy" and so on. After reading them one by one, I felt the frank personality and simple educational attitude of the little doctor. He expounded his thoughts on contemporary educational rationality in poetic language, which inspired people and brought us a broader, deeper, more poetic and warmer spiritual world.

Reading Dr. Xiao's emotional words, we can enter a brand-new spiritual world, experience the realm of life, experience the beauty of personality achievement, and experience how we are teachers today. * * * Enjoy the perfect teaching, walk into the master's teaching ideas, feel the real learning situation, and learn as much as possible.

Dr. Ogawa said: If you really want to "know as much as possible" as your unremitting requirement, you need to have the consciousness and mind that "everything about human beings is closely related to me", and you need to get out of your narrow self and look at a higher and broader world. As much as possible, I think we should work hard in the following aspects:

First, the pursuit of self-realization. To improve one's career growth, one must pursue certain goals. Only when the direction of progress is clear can one put it into practice better and realize self-worth through hard work. This is a spiritual need and psychological sustenance. In Dr. Xiao's view, the highest state of life is to live in your own feelings and make unremitting efforts for valuable goals. Yes, in our simple life, we need to know ourselves clearly and have confidence in ourselves, so that we can pay and contribute in a down-to-earth manner, learn perseverance and create miracles in life. As a teacher, if you want to really improve your professional quality and become a better talent, you must first calm down and resist the temptation of the outside world. Then set up your own career ideal and set appropriate goals for this stage. Then devote yourself wholeheartedly, achieve your goals with actions, and pursue the realization of self-worth. We should all understand that inner enrichment is the truest wealth.

Second, reading and growth. Without the success of teachers, there will be no high-quality education. This has gradually become common sense. Among the teachers we are familiar with, many are excellent. Whenever famous teachers give professional communication reports, we can see sex from them. They are down-to-earth, insist on reading, even reading every day, writing teaching reflections every day, persisting in paying attention to the development of education and pursuing self-improvement. It can be seen that the growth of teachers is inseparable from learning, and reading is the most important way of learning. A scholar is a happy person in the world. Because in addition to the visible world, you can also see another wonderful world inside. I am well aware of the importance of reading, but I am confused about which books to read. Reading the concise essay "Reading for Success" written by Dr. Ogawa gave me a direction.

Before reading any book, we must first understand the standards of good reading materials. Calvino said: "Classics are books that bring discovery every time you reread them, just like reading them for the first time." Yes, I think a really good book must stand scrutiny and test. As a teacher, Dr. Xiao believes that reading should be focused. First of all, we should look at all kinds of primary and secondary school textbooks. Because reading the textbooks of primary and secondary school students systematically helps us to know more about the existing knowledge base of students and the content of follow-up study, and helps us to often mention the connection between this course and other courses in the courses we teach.

Secondly, read more translated books. Because the translated books are more or less selected and permeated with many values. Thirdly, primary and secondary school teachers can read more books that nourish the soul and warm life, and their reading horizons should be broader. Some books can make us pay attention to something more fundamental and profound. Finally, we should read more excellent educational newspapers and periodicals. Because the articles in excellent journals are more concise, more focused on the issues that everyone is concerned about, more cutting-edge and more cutting-edge. In addition, Dr. Xiao also warned experienced readers that you don't have to read a lot, but you must read it thoroughly, because those really valuable works should be read repeatedly. Through reading, I have a new understanding and experience of reading. It seems that if you want to know as much as possible, you need to read widely, chew carefully and think twice.

Third, the cost of accumulation and flexible release is high. The final result and effect of learning ultimately depend on how much you have accumulated and what knowledge and gains really belong to you. Such as accumulation in reading. After each reading, we should refine it skillfully, further understand it and apply it to teaching reasonably and properly, so that the value of reading will be reflected. Another example is to accumulate from classes and lectures. I always think that attending classes is a kind of enjoyment. In their classroom teaching, they feel innovative teaching ideas and learn effective classroom connectors and interlanguages. In the face of classroom generation, see how experienced teachers grasp it. Feel the teaching ideas and values from their teaching ideas. Through self-digestion or migration, we can turn what we have learned into our own experience, bring it when necessary, and release it flexibly, so that teachers' classroom explanations are more innovative and children's learning is more relaxed and enjoyable. Perfect teaching is our constant pursuit. And the daily accumulation provides a real guarantee for the later development.

Pursue self-realization, study and grow, focus on accumulation and flexible release, and know as much as you can. We wouldn't have too much emptiness and boredom. Only by knowing as much as possible can we feel the beauty of spiritual life and realize the significance of life value.

Close the Distance between Teachers and Children with Love —— Reflections on Reading Education at Crossroads

After reading the book "Education at the Crossroads" in winter vacation, the author put forward a unique view on the purpose of education. "The purpose of education should be to liberate individuals with knowledge, wisdom and love, so as to awaken and release students' spiritual aspirations in nature and enhance their spiritual realm. Because education can only get rid of embarrassment and get out of the crossroads if it becomes the master of spiritual freedom and gets rid of the slave of technology supremacy. "As teachers, we, especially the head teacher of a class, use our love to educate children, which can make their life in school more enjoyable and develop healthily.

"Whoever loves a child will love him, and only with love can children be educated." The head teacher should be good at being close to children, caring for students, and having close ideological exchanges with them, so that they can truly feel the teacher's closeness and love for him.

First, love is around students.

Every day from birth to growth, students are cared for by their parents. But because students are young, they usually don't feel the love around them. Class teachers can usually use morning meetings, class meetings to tell stories and other activities, so that students can feel the care of their parents and elders during their children's growth through stories. This is particularly important.

Because there is love, sometimes I get praise from my parents, and help my children learn to appreciate the beauty in life while praising; Because of love, parents sometimes blame you, but at the same time, blame helps children learn to distinguish right from wrong; Because of love, I sometimes get praise from teachers and let students see the advantages of others; Because of love, teachers sometimes criticize students' mistakes, and this criticism allows students to learn to correct their mistakes when they know them; Because there is love, sometimes you will get help from others, so that students can feel the happiness after helping others ... love around students.

Second, love the people around us.

Pay attention to the all-round and harmonious development of students' body and mind. Cultivate and educate students to have a sense of responsibility, civility, courtesy, tolerance and respect for others. We should educate students to learn to care about others. Caring for others can start with caring for parents, caring for people around you, caring for the collective, caring for the school and caring for the class.

In the preparatory stage before the triathlon, Xie Meng, a sophomore, can't jump rope. The other children in the class didn't laugh at her, but helped her practice skipping every big break and shared her experience in learning skipping. When Xie Meng learned to jump rope, other students loudly said to me, "Teacher Tao, Xie Meng can jump rope. She can jump more than twenty times together!" I was also moved to see a group of children there happy for her. In the process of practicing skipping rope, Xie Meng realized that she would never go to a meeting and then become proficient. This process requires hard work, but her own efforts will definitely pay off. Other children also feel how happy it is for their peers to help and share with each other in the process of helping Xie Meng. They are genuinely concerned about helping the people around them. Cultivate our next generation into a new generation with open mind, broad vision, broad mind, balanced mentality and lofty aspirations, which can adapt to the challenges of modern society.

Looking for Career Happiness —— Reflections on Reading Suggestions for Preschool Teachers

At home during the summer vacation, I have been reading the book "Suggestions for Kindergarten Teachers", which was written by Zhu Jiaxiong and Zhang Yajun from the perspective of dialogue with kindergarten teachers. The articles collected in this book are all written by first-line kindergarten teachers. Some of them improved their daily work experience, some happened to children, some experienced and reflected on teaching, some reflected on their parents, class teachers and even their own work ... After reading it, they felt a lot of voices.

I was deeply impressed by reading the book "Open Your Arms to Children", the third part of the first series "Career Happiness". As the author wrote, "Kindergarten teachers are teachers when they stand up, and mothers when they squat down". Overworked work every day makes them physically and mentally exhausted, and sometimes leads to job burnout. Facing the concept that kindergarten teachers are "senior nannies, inferior", how can we feel happiness and realize our own life value? I think this is also the confusion of many kindergarten teachers.

The author expresses his views from three aspects: 1. Learn to love. 2. Learn to contribute. 3. Recognizing the role is the premise of reading Career Happiness. In fact, in addition to these three aspects, I think there are still many things worthy of our careful understanding and reading. So where is my happiness?

First, communicate with your children sincerely and equally, and you will find happiness around you.

In the days when I get along with my children day and night, I feel that kind of happiness: walking with them to observe spring, picking up fallen leaves, playing games, flying kites and sketching together. I remember one day, I went out to class. When I came back in the afternoon, the children shouted enthusiastically, "Teacher, where have you been?" "What took you so long to come back?" I asked, "Do you miss me?" Several children chattered, "Yes, we missed you." These lovely children! I am particularly moved by the children who graduated a few years ago. Those scenes are still fresh in my mind: if the children use small notebooks to leave blessings to each other and write down their home phone numbers, I hope the teacher can call them after graduation, and some say, "We will miss you and see you after graduation." Several children really came to see us when they entered primary school. Seeing them, the children all came to hug me tightly: "Teacher, we miss you!" " "I held the child tightly and I felt happy at that moment.

Second, the trust, respect and affirmation of parents make us feel happy.

Parents' words and deeds have a great influence on our teacher's work. Children are young, and their self-care ability and self-protection ability are very poor, so dirty clothes and trousers, careless skin breaking and bruised face often happen. But when we hear parents say, "Teacher, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." "Sorry to bother you, teacher." "Teacher, you are really hard." These words of understanding and tolerance are a kind of comfort and encouragement to us, and also the greatest support for our work. It's good to have parents' understanding and trust!

We are very happy to see parents expressing their thanks and blessings in the class blog; We were very touched when we received the New Year greetings from our parents. Parents give us pertinent advice, and we ponder. It is because of their concern, trust and affirmation that we can do our work better and make our parents feel more at ease and satisfied.

Thirdly, the success in teaching made me feel happy.

I think what the teacher is most happy about is the success in teaching. A successful classroom teaching can not only benefit children, but also make them feel proud. Successful teaching can also have results. The purpose of our teaching is to let children get the greatest development and achieve gratifying results. We felt excited and proud when we saw the children draw unique and novel pictures and win back shining medals. Seeing that our students have made great achievements, become squad leaders and class cadres, and are rated as "three good students", our hearts are relieved.

Fourth, I am happy with my study and success.

After my own research, I finished a courseware. Through hard work, I can successfully present my demonstration class and teaching and research class in front of my peers; Hearing the affirmation and appreciation of leaders and colleagues ... all these made me deeply realize that kind of happiness.

It turns out that happiness has always been around me, surrounding me and infecting me. Now I have a deeper understanding and feeling of happiness. Let's taste together and find our own happiness!

Help children grow up to be "global citizens"

From June to February, 5438, there was an article in the core journal of preschool education, entitled "Helping children grow up to be" citizens of the earth "-regular education in Stanford kindergarten in the United States. This article is mainly about the rules education of Stanford children in the sixth district of Los Angeles, California, USA, which makes me know what the so-called rules education is like and can be applied to daily education and teaching.

Guiding children to learn to abide by the existing rules is the first step to help them grow into citizens of the earth. This is the big goal of rule education. This is a humanized educational goal, educating children to become social people. Rule education consists of two parts: garden-level rules and class rules, which has the characteristics of unity and flexibility. Under the unification of the big rules, the class teacher makes class rules according to the class situation. It seems that ordinary rules can be widely transferred.

In this article, I also wrote the method of rule education, which I think is very suitable for our teachers to see. "Good citizen" once a month and "little teacher" for one day are considered to be the most effective methods in park rules education. On the basis of dealing with children's violation of discipline, this paper also mentions a series of treatment methods, the steps are very scientific and reasonable, and the kindergarten is equipped with corresponding psychological education teachers.

Our teachers should also strengthen the knowledge of children's psychology in daily life and serve children better. In the future teaching, I should pay attention to how to respect children, how to educate children, and really educate children to become a healthy person with physical and mental development.

Forging a perfect mind with a beautiful soul.

Since I read Suhomlinski's One Hundred Suggestions for Teachers two years ago, I have been full of interest in his educational philosophy and have a strong desire to explore. I have read several of his books one after another, and the book "Give my whole heart to my children" has great enlightenment to my educational work. In particular, a small case provides me with an educational comparison, just like a mirror can reflect the educational gap, reflect the effective educational approach, and also reveal my educational reflection point and educational direction. Let's talk about my feelings by comparing examples.

Case description: One morning, Suhomlinski was walking on campus when she saw a 4-year-old girl from a kindergarten take off the biggest newly opened rose in the greenhouse on campus and walk out calmly. Suhomlinski wanted to know why she picked flowers, so she bent down and asked kindly, "Son, who are you picking this flower for?" Can you tell me? The little girl said, "My grandmother is very ill. I told her that there was such a big rose in the school. Grandma doesn't believe it. I'll take it off and show it to her. I will send it back when I see it. " Suhomlinski's heart was shaking. He took the little girl and picked two big roses from the greenhouse. He said to the child, "This one is for you. You are a child who knows how to love; This song is dedicated to your mother to thank her for raising such a good child. "

Scene contrast 1: One morning, on my way to work, I saw an old woman passing downstairs with a little grandson in her arms. The old woman saw a Chinese rose in full bloom in the flower bed, and said to her little grandson as she walked, "Grandma will pick one, and you can take it to kindergarten." The little grandson said, "The teacher said,' You can't pick flowers in the park, so everyone should take care of them.' "The old woman said," the teacher didn't see it again. Just tell the teacher about your family. " Say that finish, grandma picked the biggest and most beautiful flower. I witnessed the process of picking flowers, but I didn't stop to educate them. I was just thinking about a question: "What is the educational value of teachers? Is it just a simple classroom or oral culture or should it be reflected in the whole life influenced by education? "In the face of this case, I am an educational inaction.

Scenario comparison 2: In the autumn background of art theme activities, Xiaojie brought osmanthus, and the whole class was filled with osmanthus fragrance, which made everyone feel very warm and sweet.

Xiaoyi whispered, "I saw this flower was picked in Binhe Garden." Xiaojie's face suddenly darkened, and she squinted at Xiaoyi. The eyes seemed to say, "Who told you that!" I believe what Xiao Yi said, because he is Xiaojie's neighbor and they are good friends. After listening, I found out the real source of Xiaojie's flowers, and Xiaojie was noncommittal. At this time, the teacher said in a didactic tone: "Xiaojie took the flowers to kindergarten, which shows that she cares about the class and loves her peers, but is this behavior right?" Why? "Then he said," If you have this intention, what is the best way? "

Then he said, "The flowers in the park are public green spaces. We should take good care of them and beautify our living environment."

Three similar examples reflect three different educational behaviors under different educational concepts, and also reflect the educational behaviors under the influence of different views on children. Although it is only a very common example, it is thought-provoking. The starting point of my education is the code of conduct itself, which is a well-known and rigid rule for children. Lack of humanity and emotion, relatively blunt and boring. Mainly speaking English. Teachers often sigh: "Children talk about big cities, understand them, and all they do is cheat." The second situation of weak education is the product of this kind of education. However, Suhomlinski's teacher is meaningful and will be remembered by educators for life. Suhomlinski thinks: Nothing is more important than people. Pedagogy, as an unruly subject, always pays attention to people, people's thoughts, people's intelligence and people's emotions. Education is knowledge to help people grow up, which has strong sociality and emotion. Teachers are the main undertakers of school education, and they need a beautiful mind, noble morality, experienced professional culture and energetic and emotional education methods to guide and educate children in the context of life education and forge their perfect and pure hearts.

The Role Orientation of New Teachers —— Thoughts on Reading One Hundred Languages for Children

Continue the book "One Hundred Languages for Children" that I didn't finish in the winter vacation. After reading Chapter 10, I realized that for Reggio education, the role of a teacher is neither a mother nor a companion in general, but "a person who gives learners and learning value with a professional eye" (F. Hodgins). In the view of educators in Reggio, teachers' support for children's learning is not simply manifested as "preaching, teaching and solving doubts". It is not a teacher's main task to show knowledge to children or answer their questions. When children encounter problems, it is much more important to help them find the answers themselves.

Therefore, kindergarten teachers should always be "new". This "newness" is not an update of "professional knowledge and skills", but an update of teachers' role orientation in teaching activities. The role orientation of new teachers. In introducing Reggio's style, the professionalism of Reggio's teacher can be roughly described as: ① promoting children's balanced learning in cognitive, social, emotional, creative and physical aspects; ② Class management; ③ Design and layout of learning environment; (4) Provide proper care and guidance for children; ⑤ Communication and coordination of administrative affairs; ⑥ Pursuing self-growth in career. After analyzing the role of teachers in the development of Reggio curriculum, I think it is more appropriate to describe it with this sentence: "Teachers are children's partners and listeners; Is a supporter and guide; They are learners and researchers.

In addition, Reggio's works can be more detailed and deeper. More refers to observing and recording more, observing children's every move very carefully, and planning of many projects also comes from observation; Meticulousness means not only careful observation, but also very careful study. For example, Heidi is a 4-year-old child. She doesn't like to see Teacher Tom wearing a life-size mask of Teacher Lisa. Heidi told Tom, "You can't do this. That's Lisa's name. " The teacher recorded this sentence and carefully studied the true meaning of Heidi's complaint? A 4-year-old child can't tell the difference between words representing objects and words representing objects.

Heidi regards all words as symbols representing objects, so she uses "name" to represent "face", which is her cognition. After studying, the teacher can stand in a better position to coordinate and construct her progress. Depth means that teachers can guide children to challenge deeper content when planning and organizing. For example, a group of children are interested in the high sunflowers outside the window. They are surprised that there are so many seeds in the sunflower. The teacher thinks that sunflower flowers should be kept in children's memory for a long time, so he suggests that children make a flowering sunflower with paper and markers. These paintings were successfully completed, and the children noticed every little seed in the paintings. Teachers and children agree that this painting activity has increased the details they have never noticed.

But the teacher still thinks the activities are narrow. She asked the children why they were surprised by sunflower seeds. The children replied that they remembered the sunflower seeds planted six weeks ago, and now the sunflower seeds are just as they were planted in the soil. So the teacher suggested that the children draw how these seeds are produced, that is, draw what they can't observe and draw the steps they think the seeds are produced in sunflowers. Results Children's paintings are varied, which shows children's intelligence and highlights children's imagination.

Please understand children's behavior —— Thoughts on reading Growing up in Reflection.

Taicang experimental preschool education center experimental kindergarten Douyuan

Children's world has its own rules, children are innocent, and countless people are full of yearning for this world. It is more pure and sacred than the adult world, more carefree and colorful than heaven, full of myth and childlike interest, full of happiness and vitality. ...

Educator Mr. Tao Xingzhi once wrote a poem: "It is said that children are small and children are not small." If you look down on children, you are even younger than children. "It can be seen that the world of children is worth exploring and interpreting. As a kindergarten teacher, I sometimes have many questions.

Why do some children always wet their pants?

Why don't some children want to sleep quietly?

Why do some children put other people's toys in drawers?

These behaviors are not blind, but represent the inner needs of children. We can learn a lot about children through these seemingly abnormal expressions of needs.

In the face of children who make mistakes

In our daily life, every child may make mistakes for different reasons. Teachers should not scold children blindly, but should ask children the specific reasons in a friendly way and understand their real thoughts in order to find a real solution.

Facing sensitive children

Sometimes after school, we talk to our parents about the baby's daily performance in the garden. Inadvertently, it may also cause some changes to the child's psychology. A teacher's eyes, a word and an negligence will have a far-reaching impact. Every child is very sensitive, and the cognitive level of children and adults is different. The big things in adults' eyes may be the small things that children think, while the small things that adults think are big things in children's hearts. Therefore, teachers can't measure children with their own scales or angles, let alone impose their own ideas on children.

Facing abnormal children

Faced with abnormal children, we young teachers are often not so easy to deal with. The book Growing in Reflection presents many such real cases. Through concentrated induction, I summarized some methods: 1. Through communication with parents, understand the abnormal behavior of children and the reasons behind the behavior; 2. Show your children that you care more about them ideologically and make them feel safe and confident; 3. Be good at helping children answer various questions in a language that children can understand; 4. Affirm children's progress and give encouragement in front of peers. Of course, the specific situation should be handled according to the actual situation.

Children who make mistakes, sensitive children and abnormal children are not troublesome children. We just ask our teachers to be more tolerant and tolerant and face many possibilities brought by children with a positive attitude.

Growing up in Reflection made me understand the purpose, methods, problems and how to solve them. A child is like a little seed waiting to grow. As long as we take care of it patiently, it will sprout, blossom and bear fruit. It is important not to bring any harm to the small seeds. Therefore, our kindergarten teachers should understand children, observe children, accompany children and enjoy happiness with children!
