Say thoughtful words to the head of the teaching and research team

Have a heart-to-heart talk with the head of the teaching and research team

The development of Nurture Primary School has generally gone through four periods, the first is the standardization period, the second is the period when characteristics are highlighted, and the third is the initial appearance of the brand The fourth is the period of building high-quality and beautiful education. We all stand at the intersection of the third and fourth periods. This is the same as China today at the intersection of two century-old periods. It is full of hope but also has a long way to go.

During this period, for the development of the school, a high-quality team of teaching and research team leaders is especially needed to use the high quality of teaching and research team leaders to promote the high quality of subject teaching and even educational work. Without the high quality of the team of teaching and research team leaders, the school's high-quality promotion of beautiful education itself is a false proposition.

1. First, let’s talk about the development and changes in the responsibilities of the teaching and research team leader

The summary of the responsibilities of the teaching and research team leader provided by Baidu homepage is as follows: (It is recommended that the course teaching center leads the team leader to learn part of it)

1. Responsible for formulating the teaching plan for the semester of this subject and submitting the teaching content, progress and lesson plan to the Teaching Office for approval.

2. Combined with the teaching and research work plan, the teaching and research team leader should organize teachers to implement it (some plan contents cannot be carried out in practice and need to write modification opinions). At the same time, at the end of the semester, a teaching and research team summary should be written.

3. Organize school-based teaching and research activities on time (once a week), ensure the time and quality of teaching and research, and fill in the records of teaching and research activities.

4. Understand the teaching performance of subjects in this year, conduct a joint analysis of weak classes, find out the reasons, and help improve them. It is necessary to have a plan and work goals for the overall results of this subject in this year, so as to be aware of it and strive to improve the overall performance of the grade.

5. Do a good job in regular teaching of this subject

1) Check the lesson plans and lecture notes of members of this subject once a month, and report to the supervisor in a timely manner.

2) Supervise and inspect members of the teaching and research team to use modern teaching methods and media, and provide technical guidance (language lab, electronic classroom, electronic lesson preparation room, etc.).

3) Organize teachers of this subject to listen to each other’s classes. Frequently go into the classroom (attend at least one lesson per teacher in this teaching and research group every week) to find problems, diagnose and treat them in time to ensure the quality of classroom teaching.

6. Check the homework corrections of teachers in this group once a month, discover problems in time, and correct them in time. The teaching and research team unified the assignment content, format, requirements, and completed standard assignments.

7. Assist the Teaching Office in organizing examinations, marking papers, improving scores, etc., and fill in the overall quality analysis form of the examination papers for this year.

8. Assist the Teaching Office to conscientiously implement the school-based training work related to this teaching and research group to ensure that the professional level of year-group teachers is improved during the training.

9. Lead the comrades in the group to actively use audio-visual equipment and use modern teaching methods and media to improve the efficiency of the 40-minute class.

10. Assist the Teaching Office to organize subject competitions and extracurricular activities.

11. Supervise teachers to complete and collect all materials required by the Teaching Office in a timely manner and submit them to the Teaching Office in a unified manner.

12. The spirit of various meetings (teaching) organized by the school must be implemented in a timely manner.

Looking at these twelve items, most of them are products of the industrialization era. The path is top-down and the symbols are uniform. Read these "Responsibilities" carefully. Few of them are based on the development of subject teachers or subject teachers. Words such as "hand in", "implementation", "assistance" and "organizing on time" are full of the whole text. Stimulation of sexual development motivation. Today, when we focus on the development of teachers' endogenous power, there is not much positive significance in cultivating primary schools that emphasize new life education. But we must first learn to inherit, and then we can develop.

The old responsibilities and order have gone wrong, and the new responsibilities and order have not yet been established. The Curriculum Teaching Center has the responsibility and obligation to lead the teaching and research team leaders in the new era to re-examine their responsibilities with a new attitude of life, and to be the guide for the development of subject teachers. First of all, the leader of the teaching and research team should be the person who can best bring dividends of curriculum reform to teachers. Fifteen years ago, the head of the teaching and research team of Chongqing Primary School brought back several large packets of washing powder for the teachers before the holidays. He happily picked the ones for the teachers in the teaching and research team, and then kept the rotten or missing packets. To your own people. Today's teaching and research team leader should be the person who can best bring dividends of curriculum reform to teachers.

Will today’s teaching and research team leader bring back something more valuable than washing powder? Will teachers be better nourished through expert guidance, peer assistance, and personal reflection? Secondly, the teaching and research team leader should be the person best at liberating teachers. Teacher Weihong said that after the performance salary was announced, the head teacher was very slack. Why did the head teacher receive more because he did not stand out? Most of the teaching and research team leaders come to this position through teaching and outstanding talents. They come from the front line, and most of their bodies are still on the front line. We know best the bitterness and sweetness of the front line, and we are also the best able to discern what binds the hands and feet of teachers in the front line. The reason why some things in teachers' lives can become something that restricts teachers' professional growth is because there is no teaching and research team leader to lead and improve them in line with the times. Therefore, the teaching and research team leader should be the person best at liberating teachers.

2. Let’s talk about the focus of the teaching and research team leader’s work

The development of a school depends on teachers; the professional growth of teachers depends on the teaching and research team leader. The school has entered a stage of high-quality development, and the contradiction between teachers' professional growth and the school's growing demand for high-quality teachers has gradually become apparent. Teaching and research team leaders must have corresponding historical consciousness and consciously become the guide for teachers' professional growth.

Although today's teaching and research team leaders are natural backbones of subject teaching, they are not yet truly familiar with the responsibilities of the teaching and research team leader and have become someone who can instigate the development of the teaching and research team. The school has entered the quality development stage, and the development requirements for teaching and research team leaders are "half a year to get started, one year to get started, and two years to bear fruit." I said this in 2018. More than two years have passed, and someone in the teaching and research team leader team has indeed blossomed - he has a big fat baby. But what about the improvement of the teaching and research team leader’s skills? Yang Fan, the principal of Huaihe East Road Primary School, said that in Huaidong, some of our teaching and research team leaders are better than the principal. They have to make appointments to give lectures and participate in the compilation of provincial textbooks. They are very busy. So far, I have not seen such a teaching and research team leader in the training, and I hope that one or two will stand out from everyone.

The half-year entry is to pass the training of teaching and research team leaders, so that everyone can realize the "responsibility of the teaching and research (lesson preparation) team leader" within half a year, and promote the cultural construction of the teaching and research team step by step.

One year on the road is to complete the personalized growth of the teaching and research team leader through "invite in, go out, seek something, and achieve a result", so that each teaching and research team leader can form his own routine and practice in subject construction. feature.

The fruits of the two years are to summarize and sort out the culture of the teaching and research group through the classroom cultural festival and the cultural evaluation of the teaching and research group, forming a batch of achievements in the cultural construction of the teaching and research group. ?In the high-quality development stage, the teaching and research team leader has four focus points

1. ?Qualify the teaching process

2. ?Characterize the discipline construction

3 ,? Serialization of teacher growth

4.? Professionalization of children's research

3. Let the teaching and research team leaders live a dignified and happy life

In December 2020, I took a music class from Teacher Chen Xiaotian in the new dance studio. At that time, I sent a message to Principal Li: "Let teachers and students enjoy a happy life with dignity. The dignity and happiness of professional teachers lie in their profession."

Today, I want to say to you , To allow teachers and students to live a happy and dignified life, we must first let the teaching and research team leaders live a happy and dignified life. For this idea and this goal, the school will make great efforts and spare no effort.

Looking back, happiness is achieved through hard work, and the dignity and happiness of the teaching and research team leader are also strived for by oneself to a greater extent. 2021 is here, are you ready?

In 2021, let us join hands to re-examine our own achievements, start again, sing all the way, and work hard for a happy life with dignity. I wish you all the best to become a person who makes yourself proud and to be a nurturing person. The most powerful driving force for the development of primary schools. Thank you all.

A regional education director said: All aspects of school work are centered on education and teaching, and all aspects of education and teaching are centered on classroom teaching. In the era of industrialization, from the perspective of industrial management, the school defines the main process items of teachers as "preparation, teaching, approval, assistance, and examination", which are managed from five aspects: lesson preparation, teaching, assigning and correcting homework, tutoring students, and examining students' academic performance. Teacher's job.

Today, education is in the transition period of the industrialization and information age, and it has begun to pay more and more attention to the stimulation of teachers’ endogenous development motivation and the endogenous power of teacher development. How can we re-deconstruct our work?

Emphasize the endogenous force of teacher development and the endogenous development motivation of teachers, requiring schools to guide teachers to proceed from reality, while promoting the steady development of education and teaching, and independently and spontaneously respond to the work they are doing. Carry out scientific deconstruction and give it new connotations of the times, so as to continuously optimize it and form a new, ever-new, and brand-new natural mechanism.

The purposeful and planned group self-destruction process needs natural teacher leaders to lead, and the teaching and research team leader does his part. The times require teaching and research team leaders to guide teachers to scientifically deconstruct education and teaching work. Curriculum reform requires teaching and research team leaders to guide teachers to independently and spontaneously deconstruct education and teaching while solving development problems.

As the natural leader of teachers, the leader of the teaching and research team should re-deconstruct the teacher's work. In the final analysis, it is to guide teachers to re-understand the three lessons and one assessment, interpret the curriculum reform more deeply, and optimize the teacher's work more comprehensively.

Being a guide for teachers’ professional growth

——What does a school quality teaching and research team leader do

The development of a school generally goes through three stages: 1. The first is the standardization stage, which is the foundation for the school to settle down; the second is the characteristic stage, which is the symbol of the blooming of the school's individual life; the third is the quality stage, which is the beginning of the school gaining systematic development advantages.

The Cultivation Primary School was established in 1989 and has generally gone through the following development process:

A brief list of the development history of the Cultivation Primary School in Erqi District, Zhengzhou

Starting and ending years Key construction points in the cycle development stage

1989-2009 20-year standardization stage to standardize school running

2009-2015 6-year characteristic stage to run schools with characteristics

2015-this year N years Quality education in the quality stage

Without standardization, the school will not be able to gain a foothold; without distinctiveness, the school will have no personality; without quality, the school will not be able to win system development advantages and form an influence from the inside out. . Standardization is a sign that a school has gained a foothold, specialization is a sign that a school has concentrated its superior strength to accomplish something, and quality is a sign that a school is ushering in comprehensive ecological development.

From the "A Brief Table of the Development History of Cultivating Primary Schools in Erqi District, Zhengzhou City", we can easily see that Cultivating Primary Schools have gone through 20 years of standardized development and 6 years of characteristic development, and are now entering the stage of quality development. development stage.

Entering the stage of quality development, what are the school’s requirements for teaching and research team leaders?

“Being a guide for teachers’ professional growth” is the overall requirement for teaching and research team leaders during the school’s quality construction period.

1. In the quality development stage, the school’s development requirements for teaching and research team leaders

3. Promotion and outlook

New life is the endogenous development power that is stimulated life. After 28 years of running a school, New Life Education has been chosen to cultivate people’s wisdom. New life education is an education that creates a harmonious ecology, stimulates the endogenous development power of living bodies, and allows oneself, others, and even all natural life to bloom wonderfully.

In the context of new life education, the teaching and research team leader must first be a new life whose endogenous development motivation is stimulated. When he settles down in his position, he must be a guide for the professional growth of teachers.
