Can the non-voting representatives of the Teachers’ Congress propose proposals and who will propose them?

Dear representatives, during the preparations for this Teachers’ Congress, the representatives acted with a serious and responsible attitude and as a master, and actively contributed ideas and suggestions to the school’s education and teaching management. The conference*** received 5 proposals covering many aspects. The school administration attaches great importance to these proposals and convenes a meeting to consider how to respond. Today, I am here on behalf of the Presidium of the General Assembly to make a reply to the proposal. If I cannot satisfy my needs, I hope that we will continue to communicate and discuss the matter in order to form a common understanding. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　iousous people, including 6 people including Teacher Zheng 鈥? This is a very good proposal. Very professional. This proposal involves many educational principles and management theories. The proposer is of a very high level. From the title to the reasons to the suggestions, it is almost watertight. The number of proposals at this Faculty Congress is not large, but with this one, one can be worth ten. In fact, these issues have always been something our management is thinking about. There are some concepts and ideas, each of which can be a long article. However, due to time constraints today, I cannot answer the question in detail. We can continue to discuss it if we have the opportunity after the meeting. 1. Reasons 1. Freedom is the source of wisdom and creation. When human freedom is guaranteed, thinking will be very active and creativity will be continuously activated. Education and teaching work is an active and creative labor. Only when teachers have a certain degree of freedom can they have the energy to reflect on teaching and life, summarize and create educational wisdom, and experience the joy and sense of accomplishment in teaching and educating people. and sense of value. The ubiquitous formulaic and dogmatic control will make teachers unable to cope, suppress creativity, and cause psychological rebellion and resistance. Answer: Regarding freedom, there should be two types: one is freedom of thought and speech, and the other is freedom of personal activities. I think what is proposed here should refer to the latter. The freedom of personal activities sometimes does appear to be a restriction on the freedom of thought. Because "energy" is limited, the restriction of "time and space" is sometimes also a restriction of thought and wisdom, although it is not completely equivalent. Our school has no restrictions on teachers’ “time and space” freedom. Apart from the necessary and basic work and rest and disciplinary requirements as a unit, there are no special regulations and restrictions. Working is almost "semi-flexible", and the space for working is completely unrestricted. Therefore, the emergence of "thought", including "reflective wisdom", basically depends on personal consciousness and diligence (for example, teacher Zheng Nuying keeps reading, and wisdom often arises). We hope that “never getting tired of learning” will become the norm for the teaching profession. What we are most worried about is the living condition of being ignorant and unwilling to make progress. What we want to advocate is the consciousness of behavior and freedom of thought. The problem of "stylized" may be the teacher's misunderstanding of the classroom teaching model. The purpose of our current classroom reform is to take "effectiveness" as the principle and starting point. It includes four aspects: 1. Effective preparation before class, 2. Harmony among classroom interpersonal relationships (teacher-student relationship); 3. Effective organization and implementation of class, 4. Effective homework practice after class. It would be a good thing if these formulaic things can be implemented. "Full class teaching" and no program will reduce the teaching effect. Of course, we do not want anything dogmatic to appear in the implementation of these procedures. 2. Education and teaching are a “conscience job”. Teachers are a group of intellectuals with certain academic accomplishments and moral qualities. Their professional characteristics determine that teachers pay more attention to high-level spiritual needs than ordinary people, such as the need for respect and self-realization, rather than just being satisfied with making more money. Point money. Therefore, leaders must first believe that most teachers have a certain degree of consciousness and initiative in their work. Mistakes are inevitable, and when necessary, it is necessary to provide corresponding supervision, guidance, regulation, service and respect, with less unified model and more individuality display in management. Answer: This is a very good reason. We encourage teachers to pursue more spiritual pursuits, have more romantic temperament, and avoid premature and excessive materialization (not that they should not pay attention to material things). As a quasi-intellectual group, most teachers are conscious and proactive, but there are also some who are unconscious and inactive. No one is a saint, and no one can make mistakes. As long as the mistakes at work are not caused by subjective attitudes, it doesn't matter if you give them two or three chances. Pointing out mistakes at work is to reduce mistakes in the future and help progress. No one is perfect, and it is definitely not enough to pretend to be wrong. For administration, we are working hard to promote service awareness and lower level awareness. 3. Complex and trivial matters constrain teachers’ inspiration for free thinking.

I am making plans, writing summaries, checking information, filling in records, compiling study plans, making courseware, selecting exercises, correcting assignments, busy in meetings, doing home visits, reading morning readings, checking late revisions, following the two exercises, running to the dormitory, looking for conversations, In the busy schedule of tutoring, review, exams, grading, attending lectures, class evaluations, etc., what teachers lack is precisely free space and time for thinking. In fact, a good lesson often comes from an inspiration, and inspiration often breaks out in a moment of thinking when the body and mind are free and stretched. Reply: The "complicated and trivial affairs" of teachers listed here are a reflection of the living conditions of teachers in the basic education stage. This is determined by the role characteristics of teachers in the basic education stage. Each item is within the system. It is just an addition here. But for leaders, these are not enough. They also include: being inspected and being evaluated. , ensuring safety, preventing drug abuse, working with the Youth League Committee Women’s Federation, and maintaining stable party relations. I wrote an article called "To be a human being, you must be a professor." There is a passage in it that you might as well read to everyone: "In today's China, the position of teacher is poor and hard, but professors are not among them. To be a teacher is to be a university professor, but not to be a primary and secondary school kindergarten teacher. There is a world of difference between a teacher and a professor. A primary and secondary school kindergarten teacher cannot travel three miles away. Looking at the mountain, the heart cannot hide the outline of the Nine Cities. It only needs to get up early and work hard with the students who are still young or new, chatting and breaking things down. The homework comes, the chalk goes, the moral character comes, the safety comes, and the exam comes. , like a nanny, a domestic servant, a gardener, or a jailer. He is busy until the lights are turned off, with little fame and fortune, until he retires, becomes prematurely aged, is physically and mentally exhausted, looks haggard, has wrinkles and turns white. It's different. Professors can publish books, do forums, do scientific research, have fun, go abroad for visits, learn about Buddhism, influence government decisions, and guide students to eat, drink, and have sex. There are masters and doctors who follow them. A word can make a fortune, a word can bring life, a word can kill a person, academic authority, star of fame and fortune, condescending, commanding, everyone has a youthful appearance, everyone is refreshed, the professorship is truly the most glorious one under the sun. We cannot be professors, we can only be teachers, so there is nothing we can do. If these "complicated and trivial matters" within the system are not done, or are done less, our survival will be problematic unless the system is changed. Of course, we should pay attention to how to do it, methods and techniques, and focus on efficiency. 4. The teacher’s freedom not only lies in having time for positive thinking and space for active choice, but also in a happy state of mind that can be understood by others. Teachers are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid of not being understood. If some work mistakes occur and the teacher is simply accused of not being worthy of being a teacher, this not only hurts the teacher's self-esteem, but also devalues ??the teacher's ability. Ultimately, the teacher is physically and mentally exhausted, has professional burnout, and loses work vitality and creative potential. Answer: This is a very good point. However, in fact, not everyone is suitable to be a teacher. Although the evaluation of "worthy or unworthy" has no practical significance, it can at least serve as a warning. In a team, if managed well, most members will be excellent, but there are indeed "flaws". It is of course the right thing to pick out the "flaws" and polish them to make them bright. Otherwise, it will affect the school's reputation, performance, and social evaluation. To be an excellent teacher, you must rely on inner consciousness and external management. Of course, external management must pay attention to methods, and "simple accusation" is of course wrong. 2. Suggestions Management is a science, a technology, and an art, and it is the unity of the three. On the premise of improving the system, school leaders must not only "strictly enforce the law" but also "enthusiastic service"; they must both standardize management and humane operations. Adopt scientific and reasonable strategies to stimulate enthusiasm, mobilize vitality, change "I want to do it" to "I want to do it", and replace suppression and confinement with release and awakening. It is recommended to start with five "reductions" to create teachers' free time and space. Answer: The combination of "strict law enforcement" and "enthusiastic service", and the combination of standardization and humanization are very good suggestions. "I want to do it" is the attitude of the owner, which is the highest pursuit of our team building. 1. Reduce numerous meetings.

We advocate holding short meetings and "joint meetings", and do not hold meetings that may or may not be held. We should give full play to the role of modern networks and convey meeting contents through campus websites, bulletin boards, written materials, and even blogs, QQ, mobile text messages, etc. , carry out work arrangements, actively innovate meeting forms, means and content, and improve the effectiveness of meetings. Answer: This semester, due to various reasons (the adjustment of the new team, the evaluation of the reception level, the evaluation of the strong education district, and the improvement of the school system), there are relatively more meetings, but the ones who really feel the pain of meetings are We are administrators, not ordinary teachers (in fact, we take good care of teachers during meetings and control the time every time). In the future, we will standardize the frequency, length, and effectiveness of various meetings and make full use of the functions of information technology. Section groups, grade groups, and class teachers can set up QQ groups to strengthen communication. Notices, documents, materials, courseware, etc. can be shared using the campus network, Shunde Education Information Network and ftp***. We are also preparing to establish a campus short number system to facilitate contact. However, meetings that should be held must be held, such as today's meeting. 2. Reduce ineffective and formal inspections. Several inspection items with little effectiveness, such as collective lesson preparation records and heart-to-heart talk records, can be cancelled. Turn routine inspections into a process of communication, negotiation and dialogue with teachers, and into diagnosis and guidance of teachers’ education and teaching work. Teachers are encouraged to explore and try, without being constrained by uniform models and excessive inspections. To meet the inspections of higher-level departments, teachers’ participation should be minimized. Reply: There are indeed some inspections for the sake of inspection. It would be lazy if the administrative department only uses "inspections" to replace usual intervention and management. However, for inspections such as "lesson preparation" and "talking notes", it is also meaningful if we can find that we have done particularly well and use this to encourage those who have not done well. Inspection can change the way of thinking. If everyone is conscious, then we should always reward advanced people. Turning inspections into a process of communication, dialogue, and negotiation is good in theory, but in practice it will increase other burdens, such as the burden of meetings. To meet the inspection by the superior department, if the cooperation of the teacher is required, the teacher must participate. In today's society, the division of labor is very detailed. Almost nothing can be completed by one person. Even if a teacher teaches a good class, many people have contributed to it - the head teacher, the computer teacher, the hygienist, and the printer. , logistics workers. Last time, a boss invited all the teachers in the school to dinner. Some teachers thought that this had nothing to do with work at all, and whether or not to go was a personal matter. But I think that if you don’t go, you should at least say hello. This shows that you are a member of the group. , On the other hand, it is also polite to reject good intentions and good intentions so that the do-gooder does not feel that a hot face is stuck in a cold butt. There is quite a lot of work in the school, but most teachers are not aware of it and are not involved in it. Last time, a representative said, "I don't know what the Moral Education Department has done throughout the year." If I asked the Moral Education Department to make a list of the information, notices, and documents they received from the superior departments and show it to the teachers, I'm afraid it would scare you. I also hope to create a poetic school life: administrators are busy with mundane affairs above, and teachers are reading elegant books below. This state is very poetic, a bit like a peach blossom garden, "with yellow hair hanging down and contentment." 3. Reduce repetitive, overlapping, and surprise activities. The school should make effective selections for activities organized by superior non-business departments and exchange activities with outside the school. Activities that have little significance for the development of teachers and students and require a lot of energy should be properly rejected. For activities that are effective, focus on improving quality. Formalism should be done as little as possible, and face-saving projects should be pushed forward if possible. Reply: We can’t reduce surprise activities just by saying we can reduce them, unless we “fiddle around” on our own. It is sometimes not up to us to choose the activities of superior non-business departments. I said before: "Welcome to inspections, receive evaluations, ensure safety, prevent drug abuse, join the Youth League Committee Women's Federation, and maintain stable party relations." There is no choice. The education of students can only be achieved through certain forms, and "governing by doing nothing" is definitely not suitable for education. Whether an activity is meaningful to the development of the school is sometimes not immediately visible. For example, some schools undertake the national college entrance examination and undertake various activities of the Education Bureau, teaching and research section or education group. Is it of great significance? Sometimes both are needed to do "fundamental projects" with the door closed and "face projects" with the door open. Studying completely behind closed doors is not feasible in today's era of open schools. If you don't communicate and contact the outside world, and don't get support from society, parents, and the government, then you are really "messing around." 4. Reduce unnecessary plans and summaries.

Promote the writing of special teaching materials, guide teachers to actively reflect, sort out and summarize their own teaching experience and confusion, and continuously improve their practical wisdom. Answer: Unnecessary plans and summaries must be reduced, or even not written at all. But the necessary plans and summaries must be written. Principal Chen Kangjin of Donglu Middle School once said: A principal who cannot write a summary is not a good principal. Summary is even more important than planning. Life is about growing and improving through constant review. As for advocating "writing special teaching materials to guide teachers to actively reflect, sort out and summarize their own teaching experience and confusion", it is just more professional. It is still planning and summary, which is more difficult than the general plan summary. Some of our teachers now have not seen a decent article for several years. It is because of laziness. 5. Reduce the “frustration” of blindly following the trend. School development planning should focus more on long-term effects and less on quick success. The positioning of the school must be based on reality, and the assigned work tasks must be carried out according to one's ability and grasp the scale. Otherwise, teachers under high pressure will lack elasticity under excessive tension. In this way, teachers save appropriate time to participate in useful activities and read educational classics; study students carefully and ponder teaching methods; consciously carry out curriculum reform to enhance teaching effectiveness; improve their own literacy and enrich teaching experience; form teaching personality and achieve Professional growth; thereby harmonizing the campus atmosphere and improving the happiness index. Answer: Guizhou Middle School did not follow the trend before, and it still does not follow the trend now. I guess everyone is aware of this. If following the trend we are talking about now refers to "thinking about others when they see the best" under the "consciousness of worry", such as the promotion of enrollment and the promotion of art exhibitions, then it is a must. The school's positioning as a "Shunde District Brand School" fully takes into account the actual situation of the school. Unlike some schools that want to be "a first-class school in the province or even the country" - why do they want to be a first-class school in the country? We are not recruiting students from across the country. However, the goal is relatively high, that is for sure, otherwise where is the hope? Where is the motivation? Don’t we often say, “A soldier who doesn’t want to be a marshal is not a good soldier”? Encouraging teachers to participate in activities that are beneficial to the body and mind is a topic that the school leadership team is paying attention to, but at the same time, it is hoped that teachers will actively participate in activities that are beneficial to the body and mind, rather than relying entirely on the promotion of the school. Encouraging teachers to read is exactly what they want. Last time I was at the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, I really wanted to buy each teacher a copy of "The Analects", a pocket-sized book that cost one yuan each. But after thinking about it later, I was afraid that people would say I was "conventional", so I just gave it up. Don't talk about other educational classics. To be honest, if a teacher has thoroughly learned "The Analects of Confucius", he will not have three images of a teacher.
