People-oriented comprehensive education

Entering Yu Wei Middle School in Southwest Shanghai (a new look of running a school)

In Shanghai, Southwest Yu Wei enjoys a high reputation because of her high-quality education.

In Shanghai, the "satisfaction rate" of parents to southwest vocational education is extremely high. As long as students enter the school, parents will almost always have satisfactory returns: children not only learn well, but more importantly, learn to be human.

Then, how do "popularity" and "satisfaction rate" puzzle southwest vocational education? Let's walk into this intriguing private middle school.

prologue

Private schools, in the eyes of ordinary people, attract people's attention with the enrollment rate. Here, the enrollment rate is not the only indicator, and the coexistence of enrollment rate and growth is her unique style.

Private high schools, in people's eyes, are the hardest. The relatively low admission scores before entering the school make the organizers a little scared. Here, high school students have not only been admitted to an ideal university, but also learned to be human. Excellent academic performance and harmony in place are her unique features.

Some people think that running a private school is to make money. Here, the quality of running a school is the first, educating people is the most fundamental, and the perfect combination of social benefits and educational functions is the embodiment of high-quality education in Xuhui.

She is Yu Wei Middle School in Southwest Shanghai, founded in 13, and now sponsored by Shanghai Cheng Kai Group. It is a real private complete middle school. Jiang Guohua, chairman of the school and secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai Cheng Kai (Group) Co., Ltd., said that Cheng Kai Group entrusted Southwest Yu Wei Middle School to cultivate high-quality educational resources for the country and talents for the society. Serving the society and repaying the people is the consistent aim of Cheng Kai Group.

Cultivate "capitalists", pursue elegance and practicality, and improve overall quality.

Introduction: Running a school is to educate people, and educating people should cultivate themselves first.

"Learn to be a capable person" and "Learn to be a good person"

Zhuang and Zhang Jianzhong, the new and old principals in Southwest China, have the most basic and simple idea: running a school must be "moral education first, educating people first". Because the school recruits talented students, they are likely to become social elites and pillars of the country in the future. Therefore, we should not only let them "learn to be human", but also let them "learn to be good people". The moral education work in Southwest Vocational Education is not a "flower shelf" of superiors, but practical work, with special emphasis on internalization and efficiency, so as to satisfy parents and society.

"Men" and "New Women"

Southwest Vocational Education has put forward the school spirit of "elegance and pragmatism". Cultivating students' "elegance" character and temperament is the first element in the goal of moral education, and different goals are tailored for boys and girls: male students should become people with ideals, responsibilities and real talents, and be both rigid and flexible; Female students should be ambitious, knowledgeable, elegant, self-respecting and gentle new ladies.

Scientific and Technological Literacy and Humanistic Spirit

Smart children with learning potential often love science and mathematics from their personal hobbies, but liberal arts are often weak points, leaving hidden dangers for development. Southwest vocational education not only highlights the advantages of science education, but also pays special attention to the accumulation and edification of students' humanistic heritage. From the first year of running a school, we have carefully designed and carried out a series of educational activities to carry forward Chinese traditional culture and cultivate new people of the times, so that students can feel the essence of profound Chinese traditional culture from an early age and organically combine humanistic spirit with scientific and technological literacy, thus strengthening each student's cultural genes for sustainable development and enhancing their confidence and strength in social survival and development.

"Love the motherland" and "Dedicate love"

"Love the motherland" and "dedication to love" are the core of moral education. Southwest Vocational Education firmly guards the pure land of the school, takes teachers' selfless love for students and strong dedication to the school as a model, leads students to respect their parents, teachers, classes and schools as a starting point, and makes students know how to love, learn to love, learn to be grateful, learn to repay the society and pass on love, which has become the unshirkable responsibility of every teacher in Southwest Vocational Education.

"Barbaricate its physique, civilize its behavior"

"Savage their physique and civilize their behavior" is a resounding slogan that embodies the concept of quality education in southwest China. Strengthening the "two health projects" of physical health and mental health is an important work covering all aspects of the school. Ensure the capacity and quality of each physical education class and fitness class, featuring men's basketball and women's volleyball, so that every student can learn a lifelong fitness program. Adhere to "make the playground lively", "make the campus lively" and "make life colorful", advocate "active life" and "happy life" through the edification of colorful campus and the construction of psychological adjustment and guidance mechanism, guide students to learn to feel happiness and experience happiness, and truly lay the foundation for every student's lifelong happiness and future sustainable development.

Cultivate a "complete person", enhance comprehensive strength and publicize individual characteristics.

Guide: Educate people, cultivate quality and cultivate comprehensive ability.

Develop personality and cultivate outstanding top-notch students.

Facing the talented students who come here, Southwest Yu Wei understands the ardent expectations of three generations in each family. Developing personality and cultivating excellent students are the most explosive engines in the quality management system of southwest vocational education. The school headed by Shao, a special math teacher, has built an omni-directional, multi-channel and multi-level training network, insisting that top students "eat well" and "eat well". Through a lot of practice, Southwest Vocational Education has summed up an effective training mechanism of "multi-disciplinary, all-round, three-level and one-line, two-channel in and out of class" and a training network of "discipline overall planning, grade personnel taking the lead, training forming sequence and ensuring infiltration in class", which really makes students' personality publicized and their specialties developed.

In my impression, when I first entered this school, many students said that "there are so many rules and regulations here" and "the discipline is very strict". This is quite "deterrent" for students who have just graduated from primary school. Actually, it's true. The rigorous school spirit has been with me for seven years. In my opinion, for freshmen, it is necessary to establish a rigorous attitude from behavior to study habits at the beginning of school. Presumably, senior students can also appreciate the subtle and far-reaching influence brought about by this.

But in fact, compared with other well-disciplined schools, in the eyes of ordinary people, southwest vocational education has been "too serious". In fact, the degree of freedom provided by schools is unimaginable to many people. This is why Southwest Vocational Education has not only made outstanding achievements in cultural courses, but also made great achievements in other fields.

As a bystander, I can't comment on literature or sports. However, from frequent singing, students trained on the playground and concerts several times a year, it is not difficult to see the broad exhibition space of southwest education in art and sports. I took part in extracurricular scientific and technological activities and physics competitions. As far as physics competition is concerned, my tutor Xie Min is a person who can "blend in" with us. Because of the small number of students, Mr. Xie's class feels like discussion, not a traditional class. Generally speaking, unless she learns new knowledge, she always lets us ask questions, and then discuss and debate. I think this teaching method is not designed for competition, because it is not "efficient", but it can really deepen our understanding of the problem, thus improving our knowledge and ability in and out of class. Moreover, I can say that the starting point of school competitions is not only to "win glory for our school", but to promote our learning and development.

Vision expansion has its place.

"Let every student discover his own strengths and potential, and let the school become a paradise for every student to experience success." This is the school-running belief of Southwest Vocational Education. They radiate their vision from textbooks to social masterpieces, expand their vision from classrooms to all kinds of extracurricular student club activities, and extend their tentacles from solving problems to all kinds of scientific and technological innovation activities to solve daily life problems, so that students at different levels can find their own life coordinates through the guidance of teachers and their own efforts.

In recent years, southwest vocational education has made exciting achievements in regional, municipal, national and even international competitions. Due to the burden reduction, all kinds of competitions are shrinking, but the number of winners in various competitions in southwest China, including districts, cities and even the whole country, has soared year by year, jumping from 200 in 2002 to 382 in 2005. In 2003, Southwest Yu Wei won two first prizes (three first prizes in the whole region), two second prizes/kloc-0 and four third prizes, ranking first in the whole region. In 2004, Southwest Yu Wei won the second place in Shanghai Invitational Tournament for Mathematical Modeling. Physical and chemical competition has always been the strength of southwest vocational education, and it can get impressive results every year, and both junior high school and high school are among the best in the whole region. Chemistry competition is also the fist project of southwest vocational education. In the past four years, various competitions have won awards 1 102, 646 municipal national awards and 9 international awards.

When it comes to training top students, President Zhang Jianzhong will talk to Kan Kan: "The key is to have an excellent team of teachers with high professional level and strong professionalism. Our greatest advantage is that we can unite teachers and mobilize a large number of capable and willing teachers to the maximum extent. " For example, in the Shanghai Information Technology Olympics in 2004 and 2005, foreign schools generally invited professional teachers outside the school to train, but the school relied on the strength of the school. Teacher Tao Ran is a computer teacher. He devoted himself to consulting work for free and sacrificed his holiday. Results The junior middle school group has the largest number of qualified students and the largest number of winners for two consecutive years, ranking first among all schools in the city.

Create "innovative talents", cultivate "problem consciousness" and stimulate exploration.

Introduction: Sustainable development is inspired by the heart.

Qiusuo education

Educating people in Southwest China doesn't want to stay in the general sense of high quality, because her goal is to cultivate future social-oriented talents, and she must accept the historic challenge of "taking the road of independent innovation with China characteristics and building an innovative country". Since 2004, Southwest Vocational Education has promoted "seeking education" in a forward-looking way, and strived to cultivate students' seeking quality. It permeates all aspects of school work and the whole process of education and teaching from six aspects: cultivating the passion, exercising the will, accumulating the methods, improving the ability, forming the habit and cultivating the character. The school requires every teacher to be a creative teacher, so as to lay a foundation for cultivating innovative talents, so as to seize the opportunity, win the initiative, and fundamentally enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of southwest vocational education students in society.

Problem consciousness

To go upstairs, you must build a ladder. Southwest vocational education takes cultivating students' strong "problem consciousness" as the starting point. Problems are the starting point of thinking and the bridge between the known and the unknown. The purpose of teaching is not to "eliminate" problems, but to constantly trigger more and more profound new problems. Therefore, the school strives to create a strong atmosphere of actively discovering problems and daring to ask questions, and guides students to learn to screen, sort out and identify "problems" and then analyze and solve them.

Southwest vocational education comprehensively promotes the "classroom problem teaching method", allowing teachers and students to carry out teaching and learning around problems, allowing teachers and students to interact and inspire each other, building a democratic, equal, harmonious and cooperative relationship between teachers and students, and making the classroom a playground for thinking training that stimulates imagination, sparks and creativity. At the same time, southwest vocational education develops and innovates on the basis of "problem teaching method", and further introduces "problem work method" which spans classroom and teaching in time and space.

Community activities and robot innovation

Vigorous student association activities and robot-based scientific and technological innovation activities have built a big platform for many students to display their talents, publicize their individuality and seek innovation. The school has established 47 student associations. Student associations are divided into schools and grades, and a complete organizational structure and management system have been established. Students participate extensively, and the club chairman and director lead the club students to creatively carry out various independent activities. Among them, the "Literature Society" and "Robot Society" were rated as regional star societies, and its publication "Caisang" was rated as an excellent publication in the region. In June, 2005, Wen Wei Po published a news report that "southwest vocational middle school associations have achieved remarkable results in educating people, and robot associations have entered the Aerospace Research Institute". Zhang Yiwei, president of the Literary Society, won the first prize in the Sixth National New Concept Composition Competition, and his personal prose collection "Disappointed Years" has also been published.

It is worth mentioning that while science and technology education runs through the whole process of school operation in an all-round and multi-level way, Southwest Vocational Education is divided into three steps, namely, pre-Lego thinking storm, single-chip microcomputer in senior one, and storm robot in senior two and senior three, focusing on a series of scientific and technological innovation activities, leading many students interested in science and technology to a new scientific world that is constantly seeking and experiencing success.

As early as 200 1, Du Erbin went to the United States for the first time on behalf of China players to participate in the International Juvenile Home Robot Fire Fighting Competition, and beat the old Israeli champion to win the championship in one fell swoop. In 2003, our school won the 128 award in various science and technology competitions, and in 2004, it won the 14 1 award. During this year, there were only 13 national awards. At the end of last year, four robot works of school students were sent to the World Engineers' Congress for exhibition, and won nine awards, including the Best Control Award in the First College Students' Engineering Technology Innovation Competition. In the selection of "Tomorrow's Science and Technology Stars" among three municipal youths, two students were named "Tomorrow's Science and Technology Stars" and two students were named "Science and Technology Hope Stars".

Cultivate student cadres.

According to the goal orientation of the school, Southwest Vocational Education puts forward that cultivating student cadres is an important strategy of moral education, and carries out vivid and effective educational activities from four aspects: public servant consciousness, democratic style, working ability and innovative spirit. The winning of the middle school students' debating contest in Xuhui District and the excellent performance of the two district administrative assistant elections are the best witness to the thriving student cadres.

She participated in the election of the first district administrative assistant in Xuhui District as a freshman, claiming to be "luck plus accumulated experience in student work". She stood out from more than 200 people and entered the finals, becoming the first assistant to the district head in Xuhui District. In the summer of 2005, he was selected to attend the "World Outstanding Young Leaders Summit" held in the United States. Now he is admitted to Stanford University. )

In my self-report, I often recall that teacher Li, the head teacher in my early years, encouraged me to run for class cadre. I moved to Shanghai for a year, and I was completely unremarkable. Maybe Miss Li saw my potential. If it weren't for teacher Li's encouragement, I wouldn't have been elected monitor later, and I didn't even dare to run for election.

Later, I not only became a monitor, but also was elected as the group leader, the president of the student union, the first administrative assistant in Xuhui District, and also participated in the 2005 World Summit of Outstanding Young Leaders. Every step forward is completed by southwest vocational education. First of all, the student work is very rich and there is a lot of room for development, which has created a group of student cadres with strong autonomy and creativity. Furthermore, when we are enthusiastic about student work, we can always feel that the teacher is very supportive of you. This kind of support is not only to give some money and the like, but also a kind of heartfelt support. Therefore, the teacher's support is always more powerful than blaming us.

The key to the transformation from a "private school" to a "prestigious school" lies in running a school.

Zhuang Wen Zhong

The key to the sustainable development of Yu Wei Middle School in Southwest China is that the school puts its energy into running a school.

Some people may think that running a school is running a school, which seems a bit simple. Some people think that private schools only need to increase the enrollment rate. This seems a bit short-sighted.

Judging from the development of the school, only by taking running a school as the lifeline, according to the laws of education and human growth, according to the needs of society, and through the effective teaching and work of teachers, can a "private school" become a "famous school".

Running a school is different from running a school in a strict sense. A school-running person who is responsible for the nation and society must run a school with a far-sighted vision, meet the requirements of quality education, and at the same time, according to the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, let every student gain self-confidence and ability. The enrollment rate should be the inevitable "positive result" of running a school seriously, not the "monster" pursued unilaterally.
