In the usual study, work or life, there are quite a few cases of using deeds materials. Deed materials have two purposes: one is to publicize typical examples, and the other is to select advanced ones. So how do you write related stories? The following are the advanced deeds of excellent kindergarten class teachers that I have carefully sorted out, hoping to help you.
Advanced deeds of excellent kindergarten head teachers 1 Since 20xx, Mr. Huang Yongsheng has been working as a head teacher. During this period, he always adhered to the principle of putting moral education first and attached importance to students' ideological education. He often uses class meetings, multimedia and various colorful activities to carry out ideological and political education for students, help them establish a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values, cultivate students' desire to pursue inner truth, goodness and beauty, and strive to make all students achieve something in the last academic year of junior high school, and strive to achieve the goal of "Dont Ask For Help people only need to go to school"
During my three years as a class teacher, I can creatively carry out class work and have good working experience as a class teacher. The course is well managed, planned and summarized, and the process is very heavy. Learning publications, learning notes, class meeting teaching plans, class meeting records and other class teacher materials are complete. The class style is positive and the style of study is strong. In class management, he can actively practice the "positive education theory", pay attention to infecting students with love and patience, teach students in accordance with their aptitude, help students actively and enthusiastically, and promote students to form unity, diligence and good moral character. Pay equal attention to teaching and educating people, and strictly demand students to help them develop good study habits, sound personality and healthy personality. He pays attention to cultivating students' moral concepts in practice. Through various social practice activities, students' basic moral concepts have been cultivated and good social effects have been achieved. Pay attention to tempering students' moral quality in life. Through long-term civic moral education, the students in his class have developed morally, intellectually and physically in an all-round way, have a strong sense of collective responsibility and good social behavior habits, and have developed a class spirit of being polite, United and friendly, honest and trustworthy, law-abiding and diligent.
As a class teacher, students should feel the love of teachers, and love is the basis and premise of trust. With the love of teachers and students, all the work in the class can be carried out in an orderly way. Gorky said: "Whoever loves children, children love them, and only those who love children can educate them." Love is concrete and full of strong feelings. He sits in the classroom every day and is often the first to arrive. First, he looked at the cleanliness and asked the students about their diet, clothes and school supplies. It looks normal. In fact, this is the most basic work of a class teacher, and it is also the concrete embodiment of a class teacher's love. As long as there are students in my heart, I will think of them everywhere.
Class culture is the main position of class spirit construction, and giving full play to the role of class culture is of great significance to class management. Therefore, he formulated the class slogan, class training, student oath, youth agreement, class management rules, carefully designed class cultural venues, and displayed students' paintings and calligraphy works. Use various forms and means to enrich class culture and form a strong cultural atmosphere. Students' papers and excellent compositions are posted on the wall behind the classroom. Every time, he posted the test papers with full marks in student unit exams and well-written compositions on the wall to encourage students to learn from good students.
In the interaction with the teachers in the class, he respects their opinions, and regards them as the masters of the class, as his good partners and confidants. Every once in a while, he negotiates with the teachers in the class, listens to and adopts their opinions, and thinks of solutions for the underachievers and underachievers in the class. School leaders often refer to him and his teachers as "golden partners". He always handles the relationship between teachers and students carefully and tries to avoid intensifying contradictions when dealing with conflicts between teachers and students. In this respect, he usually pays attention to educating students, making them polite, respecting teachers' work, establishing teachers' prestige and enhancing the friendship between teachers and students.
The head teacher's work is heavy and trivial, but he is deeply involved in it and dare not slack off at all, because he knows the significance of this work and the responsibility on his shoulders. Since he started work, he has been to work on time every day, never arriving late and leaving early, and has never been ill. In the work of the class teacher, he knows the role of words and deeds, and he usually asks students to do it first. He will attend the meeting on time every time he asks not to be late; Invite a classmate to participate in public welfare work, and he will work hard with everyone. At work, he treats every classmate with the principle of equality and respect, and sincerely treats every emotion of every classmate. Talk to them on an equal footing, participate in their activities, make friends with students, and establish an equal and friendly relationship between teachers and students. He used his spare time to tutor students, understand their daily life and psychological trends, talk with classmates, help students with difficulties, do a good job in the ideological work of underachievers, help them solve existing problems and strive for progress.
Through continuous efforts, students' learning attitude is more correct, learning objectives are more clear, academic performance is improved, and learning atmosphere is formed. At the same time, fully mobilize students' enthusiasm, carry out various and colorful activities, provide students with opportunities for self-management and self-service, exercise students' organizational ability, practical ability and thinking ability, and cultivate students' collectivism concept.

After teaching for three years, Huang Yongsheng won the trust of the school leaders with his solid basic teaching skills and serious and responsible working attitude, and entrusted him with an important task. And the classes brought out are basically from bad to good.

Advanced deeds of excellent kindergarten class teachers II. Wisdom Waters Flowers, True Feelings Light Hope —— Liu, Head Teacher of Class Two (1) of Aihua School in Zhaoqing City.
Class management is a science of educating people. The head teacher needs to spend more time, know more, observe more and use more brains. After graduation, I have been working as a class teacher. I feel deeply about managing classes and guiding students to use "heart". As a young class teacher, I work hard and get unanimous praise from my parents and school leaders. The work of a class teacher is arduous and important. From the moment I became the head teacher, I have been working hard wholeheartedly. Come early and leave late, and I have tasted the ups and downs of being a class teacher. Looking back, I really have no regrets!
First, influence students with love.
Three years ago, when I first walked onto the platform as a class teacher, I was very nervous. But when the whole class welcomed my new head teacher with warm applause, my embarrassment was eliminated. I can't help loving them in my heart. After working for a few weeks, I gradually realized that the most important thing in managing a class is to love every student. As a class teacher, I have been in contact with students for the longest time, living among students, having heart-to-heart talks with students and knowing that students need the care of teachers. It is not one or several children who like this kind of teacher's love, but all the students. I usually like to chat with students, such as "What do you like to do best at home?" "It's cold. Have you put on more clothes? " "Great progress has been made recently, please continue your efforts!" Talking and communicating with students makes students feel my sincere friendship and family-like care, thus building an emotional bridge between me and students. In a word, the students care about almost everything in the school. When a student is ill, take him to see a doctor. Parents are grateful and students are moved. I think: these look normal, because this is the most basic job of a class teacher. In fact, this is the concrete embodiment of a class teacher's love.
Second, care for students and pay attention to foreign children.
It is difficult to be a teacher, and it is even more difficult to be a teacher in a school for children of migrant workers. The students in my current class are all children of migrant workers from all corners of the country. Because I have been with my parents for a long time, my parents don't pay attention to it, so my learning foundation is weak, my behavior habits are poor, and my academic performance is not ideal. But I firmly believe that "there is no student who can't teach well." In my study, I treat every student equally and don't give up any student; In my life, I care about every student in every way, so that these foreign children can feel the love of the school and teachers and really take this place as their home. During the break, I will have a heart-to-heart talk with students, ask them about their difficulties in family life and study, and help them solve various problems. I also participated in various activities organized by the school with my students. In the past few years, I have become good friends with students. Students also regard me as a friend, and they are willing to talk to me if they have worries, and they are willing to discuss with me if they are confused.
Third, be good at transforming underachievers.
As far as students' learning is concerned, I think the work of a class teacher can be roughly divided into three aspects;
1, the cultivation of top students.
2. The promotion of middle school students.
3. The transformation of underachievers. Compared with the first two, the latter is more difficult and important, because every student is hope, and the more backward students need the help and encouragement of teachers. There are several naughty students in my class, who are never peaceful and undisciplined in class and often report to others. No matter in class or homework, I often do not do it. They don't care about the teacher and the monitor checking their homework, and no one can do anything about them. I didn't punish them with discipline and system, but started to get close to the students and found various reasons to befriend them. Try to find their bright spots, and praise one if you find one. Later, they developed feelings for me, became good friends who talked about everything, and got rid of their previous shortcomings. Since then, the progress of these naughty students and the whole class has also improved.
The work of the class teacher is meticulous and tedious. Only by managing the class with "mind" can we cultivate a true, kind and beautiful mind, cultivate a class of good students and bring out a good class!
Advanced Deeds of Excellent Kindergarten Head Teachers 3 My name is Gulinur usman, female, born in May, 1984. 20xx graduated from Kashgar Teachers College in July, and joined the work in 65438+20xx 10. I have been a class teacher since I joined the work, and it has been 10 years. At present, he is the head teacher of 20xx e-commerce class, and philosophy and life courses in various professional courses. The work of class teachers in vocational high schools is trivial and heavy, and most of the students are boarders. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation, eating and drinking Lazar, everything is trivial, and the class teacher should worry about it. As soon as I go to work, from Monday to Friday, from early morning to late night, I insist on getting up earlier than the students and going to bed later than the students. I usually work 1 1 hour a day. Although the heavy work is very tiring, I realize that the head teacher, for parents, represents the school and shoulders the responsibility; For students, we represent parents and fulfill our obligations with both hands; We can't have earth-shattering achievements, but I can dedicate my love to teaching students well and make my contribution to the healthy growth of children.
First, in teaching, pay attention to stimulate students' interest in learning and improve Chinese literacy.
Chinese is a subject full of thoughts, humanistic spirit and wisdom. Under the background of the new curriculum reform, students' autonomous learning and cultivating students' innovative ability have become the focus of teachers' attention, and learning methods such as discussion, communication and inquiry have become the mainstream in the classroom. In Chinese classroom teaching, I strive to make students become lively, interested and willing to learn in Chinese learning, thus developing students' Chinese literacy.

She is the director and secretary of Sanguandian Kindergarten, a representative of the 16th People's Congress of Yongchuan District, an advanced individual in preschool education of Yongchuan District Education Committee, and an outstanding teacher and educator of Yongchuan District Committee.
First, strengthen study and improve literacy.
As party member cadres in the new era, from the Party's pioneering and striving for Excellence, the mass line to the current "two studies and one doing" activities, we have experienced the Party's determination to strictly manage the Party. I have realized the importance of strengthening my own study as a party worker. Comrade Huang Yahua insisted on constantly studying the Party's line, principles and policies in daily life and peacetime work, studying party constitution and the Party's disciplinary regulations and the Party's rules of honesty and self-discipline, insisting on using Theory of Three Represents to guide the work, enriching the political mind with Scientific Outlook on Development, and establishing a correct world outlook, outlook on life and values. It plays a vanguard and exemplary role in studying political theory, connecting with the masses and obeying laws and regulations in party member.
Second, care for comrades and promote growth.
Sanguandian Kindergarten has 18 staff, including 8 from party member. Let every comrade party member play an exemplary role, help every party member embark on the road of professional growth, and find the greatest value of his own existence, which is what Comrade Huang Yahua is most concerned about. So in life, she always takes the initiative to care about her comrades. When the teacher has a birthday, she will send a text message to send her greetings in time. When the teacher is ill, she will also organize comrades to visit. At work, she always actively encourages and cares for her comrades-in-arms, affirms the bright spots in time and helps to find the development direction. Zhang Yin, the education director of Sanguandian Kindergarten, became a teacher through open recruitment in 20xx. She is thoughtful and motivated, but because of her status as a temporary employee, she is not confident. When Turing Preschool Teacher Studio enrolled students, Comrade Huang Yahua actively encouraged her to sign up and supported her to participate in various training activities. Zhang Yin grew rapidly and won the title of Excellent Teacher in Yongchuan District. Her deeds were published in Yongchuan Daily.
Third, set an example and be diligent in practice.
Take an active part in various activities. As a cadre in party member, we should not only tell others how to do it, but also lead comrades to do it together. On party member Reunification Day, Huang Yahua led all party member to take part in community cleaning and beautifying campus activities, organized party member to take part in class sending activities, and led party member to take part in students' home visits 100 times. In the mass line activities, she spoke seven times as a spokesperson of the center. 20xx In May, Chen Shi Street Community held literature and art class activities and organized school teachers to attend classes. She actively responded to the call of her superiors and taught the song "Chen Shi Style" in the community, which was warmly welcomed by the participants. In order to meet the needs of rural children who are eager to learn art courses, Huang Yahua also led the young volunteers in the school to carry out the art counseling activities of "flying by dreams". From April of 20xx, children receive free dance, art and singing training after school every Wednesday afternoon. Now the activity has been carried out for six times, and 78 children have participated in the study and achieved good results.
Work hard and complain. As a small unit, there are not many employees but a lot of work. This comrade is not only responsible for the administrative work of the unit, but also for the party building work of the unit. A person bears the workload of many people and never complains. In the second half of 20xx, due to personnel transfer, the management of Party building, which was originally undertaken by many people, is now almost entirely on her head. Responsible for the management of party dues, the submission of 1237 1 platform, the management of party member, the development of party member and the transfer of organizational relations. The workload is heavy and involves a wide range, but she always takes pains to do her work in an orderly way.
Be strict with yourself. As a * * * party member, secretary of the Party branch of the school, he has always been strict with himself according to the standards of party member cadres, insisting on "eight prohibitions" and "twelve prohibitions". She cultivated reading, mountain climbing and other health hobbies, and resolutely refused to participate in gambling and other activities. Stick to the shift system every day, and the last one leaves the campus and goes home. As a backbone teacher in Yongchuan District, she insists on attending classes and guides environmental protection work in the class. She promoted the image of party member cadres by "acting without orders".
Four. achievement
Hard work will eventually pay off. Under the leadership of Comrade Huang Yahua, through the joint efforts of all party member and staff, we have formed a dedicated, happy, united and dedicated team. In the academic year of 20xx-20 15, Yongchuan District Education Committee comprehensively supervised and evaluated the excellent grade, won the first prize of Yongchuan District Regional Activities and Morning Exercises Competition Group, and was an advanced group of Yongchuan District Education Committee in information propaganda work, and Wenminggang in Yongchuan District, which also confirmed the proud achievements of this team. But in the face of achievements and honors, Comrade Huang Yahua is still very calm, because she thinks this is what an ordinary party worker should do. Dedicate her youth and sweat silently for preschool education, and continue to practice a party member teacher's oath without regret with her own actions, and she will always stick to it.
Kong Wei, the advanced story material of excellent kindergarten class teacher, is a kindergarten teacher in Yucai Kindergarten, Yingkou City. At work, she loves her family, loves her job and dedication. In business, as a monitor, she plays an exemplary role and is the backbone teacher of kindergarten.
Every day with the children, Kong Wei, like her mother, devoted the same love to all the children, and the children affectionately called her "Mother Kong" from the heart. Treating her parents' work, she exchanged sincerity for sincerity, solved the confusion of parents' tutoring, shouldered the heavy responsibility of education, and was her parents' intimate "sister"; In teaching, she is good at learning, and often uses novel and unique ways to cultivate children's interest, stimulate children's curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and let children learn in happiness and grow up healthily.

At that time, the doctor asked her to be hospitalized, otherwise "it is likely to fall into disability", but in order to accompany the children in the big class to graduate, she resolutely chose to go to work with crutches regardless of her health.

This is not only simple for the class teacher, but also to cultivate the organizational potential of the class cadres.

In this way, the work in the class is programmed and institutionalized, and all the work can be carried out more smoothly.
Second, be good at doing students' ideological work
I have always regarded students' ideological work as the primary problem in class work. Class meetings are often used to educate students physically and mentally, to help them sort out vague ideas and improve their ideological realm. It is also necessary to make full use of spare time to talk with relevant students and provide targeted education to students in a timely manner. And carry out various effective educational activities such as "ideal education", "gratitude education" and "cultivation education" in the class.
Third, infect students with love.
As a class teacher, he cares about students as much as his own children, not only their lives, but also their health and whether they know how to study. More importantly, I care whether they know how to behave. Specific manifestations of love: for example, patrol the classroom every morning to see if all the students are here, whether it is cold or hot, take care of whether the students are dressed neatly, have breakfast in the morning, and bring all kinds of learning tools. Before group activities, students should be arranged with necessary supplies. In a word, the students care about almost everything in the school.

In order to keep up with the pace of educational reform, we must constantly improve our basic skills and adapt to the requirements of the development of the situation for preschool teachers. Guided by the requirement of "I am a glorious kindergarten teacher", I constantly improve my cultural level and professional level.

Wherever she goes, she will tell them vividly, which has become her greatest happiness. In the eyes of parents, the teacher is a careful person. She always pulls her parents to talk about her children, say some ideas and give some suggestions; In the face of grandparents who always have a lot of worries, she always smiles and responds patiently. And make a detailed response to the parents' requirements, which child is in poor health and needs to add clothes in time, which child's habits should be corrected in time and so on.
