How to build the worst school into a high-quality school (7) Campus Culture

When the school’s work is on the right track, it is time to consider the issue of cultural leadership. This is the only way for the school to achieve high quality. Only when the school’s cultural leadership is achieved, then no matter the school No matter how the staff changes, it will not affect the development of the school. Even if all the leaders are changed, it will continue to develop with high quality as always.

Having said that, it’s time to talk about the school’s campus culture construction. As soon as some people hear about campus culture, they think of making display boards and spraying slogans. Many schools shout loud and loud slogans, but they cannot be implemented in practice. Even some slogans made by some primary schools are famous aphorisms found in ancient cultural books. It cannot be said that this approach is uncultured, but at least it is false. Cultural propaganda that cannot bring actual results, because students cannot understand and understand these things, will not play an actual educational leading role, which is equivalent to a waste of human, financial and material resources.

So, how to build campus culture that is both reasonable and practical? To answer this question, read on. The size of a school does not matter, nor does it matter whether it is simple or gorgeous. If the campus culture is well developed, the school will develop healthily, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

? Now that the "new curriculum reform" has been fully implemented, and school management has also transformed from experience management (rule by people), system management (legal system) to cultural management (cultural leadership), let's take a closer look at campus culture , you will find that campus culture is an environment and an atmosphere; it is a concept and a spirit.

Excellent campus culture plays a vital role in cultivating students' comprehensive quality, optimizing the educational environment, and promoting school reform, development and stability. However, the thinking of many schools and even the competent departments only focuses on the construction of campus culture, and still only focuses on the construction of campus environment. They even regard campus culture design as an "image project" for external publicity to dress up their own "face". project". Environmental construction is about "grade", and activities are about "spectacular". In fact, all campus cultures that are created at a large cost are not campus culture in the true sense. If they do not proceed from the actual situation of the school and the development needs of the school, , to regard campus culture design as a self-proclaimed "face project" is to fall into a complete misunderstanding. The real campus culture is invisible, invisible and intangible but real. It can also restrain and guide the behavior of teachers and students in the school, achieve the good effect of governing by doing nothing, and make the school prosperous forever.

? The core of the campus culture design of some schools is to strengthen the school running philosophy and strengthen the construction and cultivation of the school's spiritual culture. However, it is regrettable that some schools only interpret campus spiritual culture as campus "cultural knowledge". In order to reflect this "cultural knowledge", there are "wall exhibitions" and "wall patches" everywhere. In the blind pursuit of making every wall "speak", various kinds of posters are posted in the school windows, corridors, walls and columns. Such famous aphorisms, slogans, and ancient Chinese sentences. Children cannot understand everything, they can only read the meaning and sigh at the "wall". As everyone knows, doing so not only causes the campus cultural design to fall into the misunderstanding of "formalization" and loses its due attraction and appeal.

The true campus culture should be a solid precipitation and a rock-solid spiritual foundation for teachers and students. Someone has said: The real school culture is not tea, the newer it is, the more fragrant it is; but a glass of wine, the older it is, the more it can show its long-lasting sweetness and endless charm. Therefore, the construction of school culture requires a school to practice and work hard day after day, year after year, so that it can exist for a long time and be continuously improved. Its form does not care about being fancy, it only cares about practical results; it does not care about being trendy, it only cares about reality.

However, looking at the various systems, various activities, work goals, and work plans of some schools, we will find that many things obviously lack continuity, pertinence and effectiveness, and are just blindly pursuing "Be new and different" is not a down-to-earth "exploration of innovation", but a blind pursuit of "constant change and constant innovation". What's more, they spare no effort to make primary school students memorize the "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", etc., but forget to let Their digestion and absorption are only metaphysical manifestations.

If things go on like this, school culture will inevitably lose the cultural characteristics formed by long-term accumulation, and will eventually become shallow and impetuous. It may only leave "culture", but it will not play the role of "culture" at all.

? In short, campus cultural design is an art and a science, which requires continuous learning, research, exploration and practice. In the process of exploration and practice, it requires constant self-reflection, self-transcendence and self-improvement, especially Today, when the "new curriculum reform" is fully implemented, school administrators must have such an attitude and spirit, constantly find out what suits them from the complicated culture, and be able to persist for a long time. Only in this way can the campus culture truly be realized. play a role.
