I have been teaching for more than 30 years, and I need to read some books about educational thoughts and theories frequently. One of my favorite books is The Story of Room 56, and the other is The Charm of Education. To tell the truth, I like the first half of this book, which reflects the charm of education.
Be a responsible teacher
The first two high-end interviews also laid the foundation, that is, I believe that education is attractive and has the charm of the times. Charm, a naturally pleasing feeling, is a very attractive force, which can promote social progress and national development. As a passage in the State of the Union address of the President of the United States said: "Young people who are considering career choices, if you want to make a difference in the future of our country, if you want to make a difference in the life of a child, then become a teacher!"
It can be seen that teachers are responsible for the future happiness of the family and the hope and responsibility for the country and the nation. I think it is a teacher's noblest duty to be a responsible teacher, and the sense of responsibility needs the respect of personality and the support of fairness and justice. It requires teachers not only to teach, but also to preach and teach, and pay attention to cultivating students' sound personality and good social adaptability. We need a caring and responsible education, and we need to pay attention to students' conduct and personality, so that students can adapt to every changing era, live out the meaning and value of life, realize their own life value, and fulfill their responsibilities as citizens to this society, thus demonstrating the charm of education.
Teachers' professionalism is very important.
Professor Zhang Rulun of Fudan University can make students burst into tears when teaching The Analects of Confucius, but the reason for crying is actually "because the content of the teacher's class is exactly what he wants to say, but no one has told himself before, and his conscience suddenly wakes up and he is shocked. He feels that he has done many things wrong before. " Professor Zhang said that this also gave him a great shock. It was not that the teacher wanted to preach to the students for a while like a missionary, but that the students expected such things. If you don't give him this thing, then he will get what society gives him.
This reminds me of several similar things: a senior one student was insulted by another student in the form of slapstick. A strange phenomenon happened when the teacher tried to stop him and try to get justice for him. He felt that the teacher didn't need to take care of him and no one bullied him. In fact, the student jumped up from behind and pressed his head in public, and slapped him in the face, accompanied by a loud cry, which was stopped by the teacher. The first is uncivilized and impolite. Secondly, it broke the school's discipline that it is not allowed to make a scene in public places. And it is easy to cause conflicts between classmates. Finally, the teacher repeatedly gave this classmate an example to make sense. Finally, this classmate said that the teacher was really confused, but no one told me this truth before, and now I understand.
Another student is often late, and often goes to the toilet when the class bell rings or when the class is about to start. He feels nothing. Later I told him that you have unconsciously become a habit, but it is a bad habit. One is to delay your class, the other is to affect the teacher's class, and the third is to affect everyone's study. Everyone is distracted and unhappy. I hope the teacher will handle it. This classmate actually said that it is often unattended.
It is very important to feel the teacher's dedication from the above examples, but how to create a dedicated environment is also very important. For example, teachers and students should take part in more activities together, provide more courses that students like and study together. Only in this way can there be real interaction between teachers and students, and the friendship between teachers and students will naturally form. So when someone says that you were my teacher several years later, there will be no shortage of happiness.
Of course, the most important thing is that this book tells us that the charm of education is reflected in many aspects of school work, and the highlight is the charm of teachers' education. The book tells us that teachers' educational charm generally includes (1) image charm. (2) Emotional charm. (3) the charm of learning. (4) Talent charm. (5) charisma. The above five points constitute the charm of teacher education. According to the questionnaire survey of senior high school students made by the author, the most attractive educational charm of teachers is personality charm (66.2%), followed by teacher love charm (15.3%), learning charm (12. 1%) and image charm (6.4%). This shows that what teachers attract students most is not superficial things, but infectious personality charm emanating from teachers' bones. Personality can represent the essence of human soul and personality characteristics, such as personality, temperament, morality, quality, belief, conscience and the resulting dignity and charm. Teacher's personality is a comprehensive embodiment of the unique and distinctive educational personality gradually formed by teachers in long-term education.
Nietzsche said, "To improve others, you must be sublime." Education is an activity to cultivate people, and it is a cause to mold another personality with one personality. An excellent teacher must be a teacher with lofty ideological realm and personality charm.
First, there is "love"
Gorky said: "Whoever loves children will love them. Only those who love children can educate them well. " Marx said: "Only love can exchange love, and only trust can exchange trust." Mr. Tao Xingzhi said, "Without love, there is no education." Suhomlinski, a famous educator in the former Soviet Union, said: "Love for children is the most important thing in a teacher's life." It can be said that love is the core of teachers' morality, the soul of education and the concrete embodiment of teachers' personality charm, but this kind of love is full of sharp and strict requirements for children and is great love. Makarenko's words woke me up and made me sober. He said: "A teacher's heart should be full of love for every specific student he has to deal with, even though the quality of this student may be corrupt, even though he may bring a lot of unpleasant things to the teacher." It can be seen that teacher love is not only a kind of dedication, an emotion, but also an art of tolerance, infiltration and transformation. In education and teaching activities, love cannot be overemphasized.
Second, study.
The book tells us that the charm of education lies in creation, so teachers are required to keep learning. Suhomlinski warned us: "If you want to be a teacher that students love, then you should try your best to make your students find new things in you constantly. You should be as afraid of mental rigidity as you are of fire!" Without the concept of lifelong learning, improving one's self-cultivation and personality charm will become an empty talk.
There is no end to learning, and Han Yu's "Teacher's Theory" also clarifies a point that a teacher can only be a teacher if he is knowledgeable. In ancient Greece, a wise and thoughtful philosopher was called "teacher", which means that people are noble because of reading and great because of thinking.
Third, respect
Teachers' personality charm comes from kindness and kindness, and the core value of love is respect. Teachers should fully respect students in order to win their respect. None of us can predict the future of a child, even a child with poor academic performance. Therefore, we should treat every student well on the basis of equality and respect, respect their personality, ability, character and feelings, and treat every student equally while respecting them. We use personality to influence students' personality, cultivate and infect students' moral character with morality, enlighten students' wisdom with wisdom, and shape students' soul with soul.
Strengthening the charm of teacher education requires a firm belief. Without faith, it is not education, but teaching technology. "Education can't be without piety, otherwise it's just an attitude of encouraging learning at most. Dedication to ultimate value and absolute truth is the essence of all education. Without enthusiasm for absolute, people can't live, or people don't live like a person, and everything becomes meaningless. After reading it, I felt "Thinking about the Charm of Education". "
In a survey on "What do you pursue" for middle school students, American students' answers mainly focus on "truth" and "knowledge", while China students focus on "wealth" and "personal status". What does this value mean? -Lack of faith.
To enhance the charm of education, teachers should be strict with themselves and set an example. Teachers make themselves have moral cultivation, strength and level, and students will naturally believe you, just as Tao Xingzhi said: "A thousand teachers teach people to seek truth, and a thousand teachers learn to be a man."
To improve the charm of education, teachers need to constantly reflect. I appreciate Socrates' famous saying: "Know yourself", which is the greatest wisdom. Knowing myself, what would I do? What should I do? This understanding is of great significance to everyone.
Education is to help students know themselves, wake themselves up, find themselves, find themselves, become themselves, learn from the best others, be the best themselves, thus forming an independent personality, independent thinking, and finally becoming a unique self. This is the foundation of education.
To enhance the charm of education, we must persist in learning and innovation. I always believe: Heaven rewards diligence, drops of water pierce the stone, and sincerely opens the stone. In the course of every student's life, there must be a teacher who is a hero in his or her mind, so for this student, this teacher is the most attractive teacher in his or her mind, and I am willing to believe it.
Reflections on the Charm of Education (2)
The book "The Charm of Education" on my desk was the trophy I won at the school reading festival in 20 14. At first, the words "the growth of young teachers" were conspicuous on the cover. I think I have been teaching for almost 20 years. "Youth" is hard to talk about "growth". The idea of turning over is like grass lacking water on a cliff, dry and thin. In addition, there was no title at that time; I will continue to be a class teacher when I am old; Often, in order to prepare for the next day's class, friends leave early, and listening to the questioning and teasing voice of "teaching for decades and preparing lessons", I feel more and more helpless. During that time, the prospects were bleak, the reality was hectic, and the sense of burnout poured in. There is a crazy essay "I'm just a teacher" on the Internet. At first glance, it can really comfort the soul struggling in the real dilemma, but after a short period of numbness, it will still be deeply uneasy, because teachers are not an ordinary profession.
When life in Lu Yu is foggy and confusing, passers-by with lanterns are in urgent need of guidance. The book "Charm of Education", especially the book "High-end Interview with Zhang Rulun, Ye Lan", is like a hazy glow, which has opened a beautiful picture in my increasingly confused career. Here, I met a word, a word full of temptation and sense of mission: "create"! Although there are thousands of sayings about "charm", they are not as good as it in my eyes: "You ask me what is the charm of teachers? It lies in creation ","He is not a simple transmitter. Together with his children, he creates his and their school life, and also creates the students' future life "(Ye Lan). Why do you think "creation" fits your heart? It seems that we have been looking for new knowledge for a long time, but we have known each other for a long time since we first met. I often ask myself: "Why do you stand on the platform and let students' read you' for thousands of days without getting tired? "Of course, you can say that every lesson has new knowledge! Then feel at ease to be a diligent knowledge porter. Can this really hold up the scene? Now the channels for acquiring new knowledge are diverse and smooth, and a well-informed senior high school student can consume every class with his disdain and impatience. Marx profoundly said that only creative labor can have dignity. Mr. Ye Lan directly pointed out the source of life of educational charm-creation! " Teachers' creation is different from that of engineers, architects and writers. It is a creation oriented to the development of human life. This reminds me of Huang Kejian's "lifelong learning, lifelong teaching". At first, I thought it was an educational oath of a very affectionate teacher. After reading Mr Ye Lan's Creation, I had an epiphany. This is also the pursuit of ordinary teachers. Since teaching, people have lacked a clear understanding of the nature of teachers' work. After waking up, I carefully read Han Yu's Teacher, so I preach and teach to dispel doubts, and then read Teacher's Theory, only to understand that Han Tuizhi has already set a high standard for teachers. "The scholar who teaches and learns sentences is not the one who preaches and dispels doubts," and preaching and dispelling doubts is intended to lead the way for life growth. "Teaching for life", the teachers of pre-Qin philosophers are brilliant in originality and reference, the teachers of Wei and Jin dynasties are pragmatic in serving the country in the world of inaction, the teachers of Sui and Tang dynasties are brave first, and the teachers of Song Dynasty are respectful of teachers. Along the way, they have been innovating from generation to generation, with endless charm, learning from the past, being pragmatic and inclusive. The charm of education has been preserved from generation to generation, and the charm has been passed down, creating a national life in inheritance and development.
Harvest the charm of "creation" and think about how a teacher can create his own life with his children every day. My students and I, this creative theme is unique; I and my "this session" cannot be copied, nor can they be equated with the whole class and one of us. Today is different from yesterday and tomorrow. Come to think of it, it's really creative. How to "create life development", present the charm of education and explore practice may lead to such lasting happiness. I am glad that I am still a class teacher, and my previous complaints have become ridiculous in a period of change. I set up class parents through QQ, set up class space, photograph students' school life, and share fleeting moving expressions with parents. I have never been so concerned about many activities of students at school as I am now. Since the morning reading, is there a tired and weak noise in the voice of the book? Whether there is a tired figure in the correct sitting position; Is there any breakfast left with oral medicine on the tidy desk? Looking at them, we can clearly perceive their different States when they are carrying heavy loads. After changing the routine work and being called into the class, we can understand that 5 1 people sitting in the classroom are trying to grow up, and every day, they are indispensable. The class meeting has become a valuable time to share everyday bits and pieces. Those moments that were frozen by the camera, with the passage of time, spliced an image that could not be reproduced: Why was I smiling at that time? Why did I frown? It turns out that he and I can stand side by side so beautifully ... it turns out that we will forget so many elegant moments and waste so many beautiful moments. The original seemingly monotonous life is full of beauty! Just as Mr. Ye Lan pays attention to his own magnolia plants, one stage after another, with little details, it turns out that every life, like every flower, is a long process from conception to blooming, and we are all used to focusing on the moment of blooming, so the process of slowly accumulating the taste of life is covered by the conceptual formula. After half a year of stimulation, awakening and communication, students who are indifferent to many phenomena around them often feel a little excited from the heart. The class took advantage of the opportunity to launch a "bask in my little happiness" to send blessings on New Year's Day on 20 15. For a time, the warm words made the fields full of happy flowers, and the pressure on the science experimental class they once carried seemed to be reduced. The whole class is like a spring mountain after the ice and snow melt.
How big is the charm of "creation"? For ordinary teachers, how to maintain inexhaustible "creativity"? Is the change of class appearance now an ideal "creation" of daily campus life for me and them? In addition to class management, how to manage professional classrooms? Does "lasting charm" have a fresh-keeping coup? "I'm afraid the charm of education is not limited to the personality and academics formed by teachers, but also has a very important aspect. Teachers should be people who constantly pursue the development and perfection of their own lives, and constantly develop and improve themselves while helping others improve. " "Pursuing the development and perfection of one's own life" is the key to charm creation. How to move forward firmly? I am glad to have a warm team to lead me-"Fuzhou 1+ 1 Reading Club" and "Lihua Zhengde Studio". Teachers who love the charm of education appreciate and encourage each other through reading, thinking, communication and practice, and dispel the fog for the soul in the most convenient and quiet way. Li Hua, a senior who is infatuated with students' growth, has inspired me a lot: study hard and bring up the reading rhythm with a little strength; Longing for life, no matter the clouds in the morning and evening, wild flowers and weeds, the rivers and seas in the suburbs, the new look of the city and the courtyard of Gu Xiang are all drawn in her lens, which is an endless process of life. Everyone's words and the actions of famous teachers have left the most beautiful and true footnotes for teachers to "create" in my heart.
Try to be a creative teacher with an old life and develop a perfect life. I am willing to go on on the road!
