Optimizing the educational environment and building a harmonious campus

On the day when we visited No.42 middle school in Shijiazhuang, a rising sun was already hanging high in the East, which was reflected in the tall teaching building of the school, and the "Honesty and Honesty" hanging directly above the teaching building. Above the gate is a huge electronic display screen. The rolling subtitles such as "Create a harmonious campus and contribute to a harmonious society" and "Take Scientific Outlook on Development as the overall situation and create a new situation in education" show the vivid and harmonious educational style of the school. The right side of the main building is inlaid with the school-running concept of "all for students, all for students, all for students". To the south of the main building is an office building, and the slogan "Learn to be a teacher and behave like a model" hangs in the center of the building. Looking at these slogans, we are infected by the educational thought of "focusing on the construction of teachers' morality, cultivating qualified talents with all-round development and lifelong development for students" in No.42 Middle School. Throughout the whole campus, the buildings are row upon row, magnificent and magnificent, the gardens are lush and full of vitality, and the whole building complex is very harmonious, elegant and unique against the background of green trees.

at the beginning of its establishment in 1993, Shijiazhuang No.42 Middle School put forward the guiding ideology of "Three Everything". Under the guidance of Scientific Outlook on Development, they attach importance to building a harmonious school and optimizing the educational environment, and have done a lot of fruitful work in the construction of leading bodies, the training of teachers, the optimization of educational environment, etc., forming a United, diligent, pragmatic and pioneering leading body, and creating a harmonious and United teaching team with noble morality, dedication, excellent business; It has cultivated a positive and enterprising style of study and a warm, harmonious and refreshing learning home.

In recent years, No.42 Middle School has continuously strengthened the cohesion of the leading group, playing a directional role in politics, cohesive role in strength and exemplary role in image, and always taking the self-construction of the leading group as a key link. Comrade Han Yongjiang, the head of a class, has always emphasized "understanding and respect, trust and support, unity and cooperation, democracy and centralism, diligence and serving the people, honesty and self-discipline", which enabled the entire leading collective to wholeheartedly seek development, keep pace with the times and create first-class, and was repeatedly commended by higher administrative departments.

In order to build a harmonious school, the school has always focused on improving the overall quality of teachers, and has held training courses for key teachers in the summer for six consecutive years, which has improved teachers' consciousness of respecting students' physical and mental development characteristics and following educational laws; On the basis of all the teachers' academic qualifications reaching the standard, a million yuan of special funds have been raised for teachers to study for postgraduate degrees. At present, 92 teachers have obtained qualified certificates, far exceeding the standard that the proportion of postgraduate degrees in urban high schools will reach 2% by 21 by the Ministry of Education and the Provincial Department of Education. In addition, the school also encourages teachers to go out and "recharge", invites experts to come to the school to "refuel" teachers, and sends a large number of teachers to all parts of the country or abroad for training and study every year, and invites well-known domestic education experts to train teachers in education and teaching theory; Attach importance to the training of teachers in modern educational technology, and organize all teaching staff to learn modern educational technology in a planned way. Now every teacher in 42 middle schools can skillfully apply multimedia teaching technology in almost every class; The school also regards teaching and scientific research as the primary productive force of development, and organizes teachers to participate in teaching and scientific research activities as an important way and measure to forge teachers' quality, which has formed a strong atmosphere of "seeking quality from scientific research and seeking development through scientific research" throughout the school. In No.42 middle school, each teaching and research group has its own research topic, and every teacher participates in the research of teaching and research reform.

All these measures have forged a group of "expert" and "scholar" teachers for our school: since 1996, 9 people have won the titles of "National Excellent Teacher" and "National Excellent Gardener", and 12 people have won the title of "Hebei Excellent Teacher". In the evaluation of excellent courses at all levels, 5 teachers won the first prize in the country, 16 teachers won the first and second prizes in Hebei Province, and 1/4 of the teachers won the first and second prizes in Shijiazhuang City. There are 4 backbone teachers in Hebei Province and 14 backbone teachers in Shijiazhuang City. Five "Top Talents in Shijiazhuang City" were selected as three in the "Three Three Three Three" talent project in Hebei Province. More than 1, people have won national thesis awards and excellent tutors.

When we saw the excellent teacher structure in No.42 Middle School, we couldn't help but want to visit the teaching area. It is the mid-term exam of the school, and both the north and south teaching areas are quiet. We climbed up the stairs and looked around the classes. There were blooming flowers on the windowsill, green plants hanging on the windows symbolizing harvest fruits, multimedia projectors hanging on the roof, and pictures and words carefully arranged by students reflecting the contents of the classes posted on the walls. Excellent teachers, beautiful environment and excellent style of study, can these students not create excellent results?

during our visit to the campus, we interviewed several teachers we met.

—— Li Jiaxiang, the backbone of English teaching, has won the title of National Excellent Teacher and the National Gardening Award for English Teachers. His "strictness and love" education has made every student's college entrance examination results rank among the top in the city.

-Teacher Sun Jianjun, who is famous for her strictness, delicacy, guidance and love, is an expert teacher and a top talent in Shijiazhuang. While teaching conscientiously, he insisted on doing a good job in teaching and scientific research, kept writing and published many teaching works.

-"From the moment I walked to the podium, I knew the heavy responsibility on my shoulders; From the first sentence the children shouted out, I learned the sacredness of being a teacher … "This is the heartfelt feeling of Teacher Zhang Limei. In the education and teaching work, she feels every student with her heart, so that students can feel the teacher's meticulous care all the time.

-"Respect for students should be based on trusting and understanding students" is the guide for teachers such as Jiang Shuo, Zhao Li, Wang Xuejing, Sun Shuzhen, etc. These excellent class teachers personally take students to the hospital when they are sick, and they patiently guide them when their mood fluctuates. They enthusiastically solve any difficulties, and their motherly love wins the respect of students.

At present, the school is implementing a series of activities of "One Harmony, Three Health" (harmonious campus, healthy class, healthy classroom, healthy family) put forward by the Education Department of Hebei Province, so that "harmony and health" can be deeply rooted in the hearts of teachers. Many teachers not only give students knowledge, but also give them meticulous humanistic care, positive attitude towards life and correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. Let students develop freely in a healthy and harmonious environment.

Ma Yongchao, a junior in high school. When we explained our purpose to him, he said unprepared: I was moved by the high-quality management and humanized education here from the day I entered No.42 Middle School. After three years in school, I not only learned a wealth of knowledge, but also learned a lot about being a man. It can be said that 42 middle school changed my life and led the way for me.

Yu Cong, a self-funded student from jingxing mining area, has greatly improved her academic performance through hard work. When we asked him what his greatest wish was, Yu Cong blurted out: By 42, I feel like a boat, and 42 is the sail on the boat. Through my own efforts and the hard cultivation of my teacher, my boat will sail far away by the east wind of 42.

Wang Lin, a shy little girl, walked in the door and heard that she was going to be interviewed. She didn't feel flushed. She said that in class, we walked into a healthy class and received the motherly instruction from the teacher. After one day's study, we walked back to the warm apartment built by the school hand in hand, intoxicated by the civilized, progressive and harmonious cultural family, and we were very happy to go to school here!

"after a hundred flowers are brewed into honey, who will work hard and be sweet for whom"? Through the students' frankness, we really touched the pulse hidden in the appearance of 42 middle schools. This is a clear spring, which is sweet and sweet. It's a breeze that moistens people's bowels and is comfortable and refreshing.

Seize the opportunity, open up and struggle

Realize the leap-forward development of the school

At the beginning of the preparation of Shijiazhuang No.42 Middle School, according to the idea at that time, it was only to solve the enrollment problem of children in several newly-built communities in the northwest of the city, so the plan only covers an area of 43 mu and has the scale of 36 classes. However, with the announcement of the results of the senior high school entrance examination of the first junior high school graduating class in 1996, all the indicators in 42 are in the forefront of the middle schools in the city. The gratifying results quickly spread to most urban areas. Many parents learned about the excellent teaching and rigorous school spirit of this newly-built school through various channels, and they wanted to send their children to No.42 Middle School. With more students, the school building is stretched, and the supporting teaching facilities when it was first built can no longer meet the needs of school development. By 1997, the influx of students could not be resettled, and the school had to transform the shops facing the street into classrooms.

what should I do? Is it to stick to the old rules and follow suit, or to seize the opportunity and develop? Therefore, after careful analysis and argumentation, the school leaders resolutely made a bold decision: according to the spirit of "Outline of Education Reform and Development in China", we should reform the school-running system, change the pattern of government-run schools, and gradually establish a system with the government as the main body and all sectors of society running schools together ",and reform the school-running system and mode! To this end, they went to other places in four ways, trying to find a new school-running system and teaching model that conforms to the laws of market, value and education. On the basis of extensive social investigation, demonstration and listening to the opinions of leaders of provincial and municipal education administrative departments and education experts and scholars, an experimental scheme for implementing the reform of school-running system and mode was drawn up and reported to the provincial education commission step by step. Director Han Qinglin of the provincial education commission confirmed the feasibility of the scheme, approved the initiation and implementation of the overall reform scheme in No.42 Middle School, tried out the reform of the state-owned private assistance system, highlighted the characteristics of foreign languages, entered the management sequence of foreign language schools in Hebei Province, and enjoyed various policies of the state, provinces and municipalities on foreign language schools. Since then, the school has insisted on taking English characteristics as the teaching leader to promote the overall improvement of students' comprehensive quality. The results of the college entrance examination have been improved year by year, and the regular quality of music, body and beauty has also been strengthened. Many students have been admitted to Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts, Civil Aviation Flight Academy of China and other universities. There are many students who have obtained national patents or won the first prize of Hebei Science and Technology Innovation Competition; In the study abroad program and the written and oral test in college entrance examination language, 42 middle school students have an absolute advantage. In 1999, the school was upgraded to a key middle school in Hebei province with the approval of the Hebei provincial government after being evaluated by experts organized by the provincial and municipal education committees. It is a miracle that it entered the ranks of provincial key middle schools less than six years after its establishment.

By 2, the school had grown to 49 classes, so we had to rent classrooms and dormitories. Even so, it can't solve the needs of many students. When we can't accept new students because of the limited capacity of the school, when we see parents' eager eyes and many people running around asking for No.42 middle school, when the city leaders instruct the school to ensure students to enjoy quality education no matter how difficult it is to overcome ... President Han deeply feels the great responsibility on his shoulders, and he can't sleep all night. After repeated thinking, a bigger blueprint appeared in front of him. "We must create conditions to build a modern school with a large school system, high quality standards and integration with implementation!"

For this reason, a class of students in the school relied on all the teaching staff to discuss extensively and explore actively. While grasping the existing education and teaching, they began to seek and explore diversified and joint-stock ideas for running schools, and finally signed a cooperation agreement with Shijiazhuang Jinxiu Real Estate Development Company.

in p>22, a building with an area of 15 mu and a building area of 4m? Buildings such as a teaching building with 6 classes, an experimental building with 18 laboratories, a modern library, a student apartment for 3, people and a student canteen have miraculously sprung up.

At this point, the hardware construction of Shijiazhuang No.42 Middle School has reached the leading level in the whole province, and the scale effect has been highlighted.

On the eve of China's accession to the WTO, school leaders are keenly aware that China's accession to the WTO will bring challenges and opportunities to China's education. We must seize this opportunity, expand the opening-up of education, seize the international education market, and make use of the characteristics of low school fees and solid basic education in China to create conditions for all over the world to come to Hebei and Shijiazhuang to learn Chinese and China culture.

Based on this idea, the school began to plan an international school, making full use of the favorable conditions of running a foreign language school, paving the way for students to study abroad and actively creating conditions to recruit foreign students. At the beginning of 22, No.42 Middle School submitted an application report on the establishment of "Hebei International School" to the provincial and municipal education administrative departments. In May, 22, the Provincial Department of Education agreed that the No.42 Middle School in Shijiazhuang City should be labeled as "Hebei International School", hoping that No.42 Middle School would "continuously deepen its reform, strive to explore new ways of foreign cooperation and exchange, make the school a window for foreign exchange of basic education with first-class conditions, first-class management and first-class level, and make new contributions to the reform and development of basic education in the whole province."

On May 18th, 22, Hebei International School was unveiled in No.42 Middle School, and the school was qualified to recruit foreign students. Now, the school has enrolled international students from Korea, Thailand, the United States, Argentina and other countries.

During the two days in No.42 Middle School, we saw that in addition to the high-standard teaching building, office building and student dining hall, a campus network and an information platform which can connect with the Internet were built, all classrooms were equipped with multimedia teaching systems, and each teacher was equipped with a microcomputer, which basically realized paperless office. In addition to a large number of paper books, the school library has also installed an electronic book reading system containing more than 6 thousand books, and can use computers to manage and borrow books.

"It's like iron that Xiongguan is full of roads, but now it's a leap from the beginning". In just eight years, No.42 Middle School has really made great strides from a little-known primary school to Hebei International School.

Insist on the strategy of characteristic development

Promote the all-round improvement of students' quality

In 42, the author heard that Li Yang, the founder of Crazy English, had just come to school to give two lectures. When Li Yang made his first report, he personally felt the enthusiastic learning scene of the teachers and students in the whole school and the students' oral English ability, so he immediately decided to give it to nearly 6, students in the whole school the next morning.
