20 1 1, No.7 middle school is the most difficult to run. In this critical period, the school administrative department has visited the provincial, municipal and county education authorities for dozens of times, which has attracted great attention from the superiors. Zhang, then director of the Provincial Education Department, He Jihua, then deputy mayor of Changsha, and Peng Xin, then director of Changsha Education, accompanied by the leaders of the county government and the county education bureau, went to the school to plan the development of the school.
With the help of provinces, cities and counties, the school invested nearly10,000 yuan and started four major projects of school construction, maintenance, equipment and culture.

Walking around the campus is pleasing to the eye. Trees are everywhere, and flowers are fragrant all the year round; The teaching building and the comprehensive building echo each other from afar; The teaching area and living area are planned reasonably, which set each other off and become interesting. With the continuous improvement of hardware facilities, the modern teaching facilities and advanced educational concepts in Ningxiang No.7 Middle School complement each other.
Guide students with love.
In recent years, the school actively advocates "love for teaching" and puts forward "three hundred percent requirements" for teachers, that is, teachers are required to love students, care for students and be loved. These vivid examples that happen every day in Ningxiang No.7 Middle School are the best interpretation of "love".
In the law of love, the underachiever is often the shortest plank. How to make this shortest board grow, the school moral education research group put forward "three methods" to transform the underachievers, namely, to influence the underachievers with maternal love; Capture "bright spots" and transform underachievers; Family and school cooperate with education to help underachievers. Implementing "five priorities" for underachievers, that is, giving priority to counseling, talking, homework, questioning in class and home visits. All kinds of measures have greatly mobilized the learning enthusiasm of underachievers. Since 2000, the one-time graduation rate of Ningxiang No.7 Middle School has been above 95%, which has won a good social reputation.
The school also strives for financial support funds from all walks of life such as Hong Kong Corner Stone Association, Yuanda Central Air Conditioning, Changsha Radio and Television Group and Liushahe Town Association. At the same time, students with excellent academic performance are given material and spiritual rewards.
The care of love and the education of ordinary people have propped up a bright future for students in mountainous areas.
Learn to be a man first.
"Be a man first, concentrate on studying first" is the educational tradition of Ningxiang No.7 Middle School.
The school has established a credit file and an evaluation mechanism of daily behavior norms for each student, and has incorporated the education of students' daily behavior habits into target management, and at the same time formulated corresponding target management measures for students' classes. The school vigorously promotes the educational model of individual conversation between all teachers and students, and puts forward "five talks": gifted students should talk about it, and problem students should talk more; Progressive students should talk, backward students should talk; It is necessary to talk about the harmony between teachers and students, especially those who are alienated from teachers and students; The class teacher should talk, and the classroom teacher should talk more; We should talk about our present study, and even more about our future employment and life.
The infiltration of moral education must be "smooth and silent" In order to strengthen the construction of moral education system, the school organizes moral education activities in a planned way, and implements the contents and objectives of moral education into specific activities. The school has carried out activities such as "Say goodbye to bad behavior and be a qualified senior high school student", "Learn from Lei Feng", "send warm, offer love", "Visit the hometown of great men" and "I design civilized language for the school" to guide students to develop good behavior habits.
A philosopher once said that if we want to stop weeds growing in the moral field, we must plant crops.
"Reading good books, singing good songs, being polite and being civilized" is the general theme of the spiritual home of No.7 Middle School. It is the key to enrich students' after-school life through various interest groups and cultivate students' healthy hobbies. At present, there are 38 interest groups in No.7 Middle School, such as track and field, ball games, fine arts, literary clubs and scientific and technological activities. , so that activities can be defined by practice, students, places, contents and tutors, and the number of people participating in interest groups reaches more than 80% of the students in the school. Every year, No.7 Middle School holds activities such as student painting and calligraphy contest, campus science and technology festival, sports festival and art festival, which builds a stage for students to display their talents and promotes their all-round development. In order to promote the construction of spiritual home, No.7 Middle School has successfully established a publicity column, a radio station and a literary society, and launched the stars of health and environmental protection, honesty and trustworthiness, thrift, love and public welfare, habits and manners.
"Filial piety education" is a magnificent movement to build a spiritual home in No.7 Middle School.
Compile the filial piety. Uncle Kao's "pure filial piety" has achieved many filial deeds, such as Zhuang Gong, Emperor Wen of Xiaogan, Li's wise grandmother, Hua Mulan's father guarding the border, his mother-in-law tattooing, Zhu's life-long search for his mother, a warm banquet, Zhu De's "Remembering Mother", Chen Yi's diaper washing for his sick mother, and his filial son, all of which have entered the school-based curriculum written in the context of filial piety in China.
Ying Xiao. Posting filial piety culture slogans in classrooms and offices; Be a special wall newspaper, blackboard newspaper and window for filial piety; Hanging portraits and famous sayings of filial piety celebrities and making murals of filial piety culture; Open the "filial piety thought web page", use the campus network time to broadcast the school filial piety information and learning sentiment every day after school activities; Using multimedia to organize students to watch movies and TV works related to filial piety; Using the Literature Society to compile a special issue of "Filial Piety Culture"; Lectures, calligraphy, art, music, writing competitions and exhibitions of outstanding works with the theme of "filial piety culture" are held regularly, which makes the whole school full of a strong atmosphere of filial piety culture and education.
Speaking of respecting the elderly. Every Monday, we insist on taking the oath of new filial piety by assembly in the classroom. The oath is "I swear: I love my parents, I will honor my parents at home, respect my teachers at school and study hard." When I grow up, I will work hard and serve my country. "The school requires students to respect their teachers and greet their elders first. Polite expressions such as "hello", "you have worked hard" and "thank you" are often mentioned.
Respect the elderly. Continue the genealogy, respect the sages, and sweep the graves in Qingming; Climbing in 1999, rubbing my back and waist for my grandparents; Home and school join hands to "comment on filial piety"; Home and school sign an agreement on filial piety education; Cash in the "evaluation form", ask the parents of the students to score, and the neighbors to testify; Post a list of filial piety stars, and organize students to carry out educational activities to love their parents by using March 8 International Women's Day, May 1 International Labor Day, Mother's Day and Father's Day.
Write respect for the elderly. Teachers instruct students to write three series of compositions about respecting the elderly: The first one is "I wash my parents' feet", so that students can turn moral knowledge into moral behavior; The second one is "please tell your parents a story about respecting the elderly", which organically links family filial piety with school moral education, so that parents can set an example and honor their parents. The third is "Let's help the elderly together" to form an atmosphere of respecting the elderly and loving the young in the whole society. The school requires students to write at least two diaries to respect the elderly every week, which organically combines school moral education with family filial piety and even social virtues.
Speaking of respecting the elderly. Introduce parents' occupation, workload, achievements and income, and tell the true story of parents' hardships and love for themselves; Introduce the meaning of your name and tell what your parents expect of you; Investigate the deeds of parents' filial piety to their elders and tell their own experiences; I talk about "filial piety" with my parents in the same room, and my parents and children write birthdays to each other; Stories about filial piety in ancient and modern times; My parents and I recite, give speeches and sing "filial piety" songs on the same stage; Parents will read a letter from their children. Several old people from Liushahe Care for the Next Generation Association became the school's filial piety education counselors, and the "famous filial sons" and "famous daughters-in-law" in the society also came to the school to state their opinions. Hold more than three lectures on new filial piety as scheduled every year.
Because fresh water comes from springs.
Ask where the canal is so clear, because there is running water at the source. An excellent team of teachers is the source of school's survival and development.
Since 2000, Ningxiang No.7 Middle School has formulated a five-year plan for teacher training, and launched the "model demonstration", "blue project" and "continuing education" projects in an all-round way, encouraging and supporting teachers to take the road of professional development and striving to build an excellent team of teachers with high professional ethics, exquisite professional skills, reasonable structure and strong innovation ability.
Following the educational thought of "love the world" put forward by educator Tao Xingzhi, the school has carried out the teacher's morality education activities with the theme of "casting the soul of teachers, cultivating teachers' morality, cultivating teachers' style and training teachers' ability", and comprehensively implemented the teacher's morality demonstration project through theoretical study, typical guidance and standardized system. Since 2000, the school has persisted in carrying out special activities of teachers' morality education such as "May 1st Enterprising", "July 1st Glory", "Ninety Dedication" and "Eleventh Change", and constantly improved teachers' consciousness and initiative in teaching by virtue. Two teachers were rated as excellent teachers in provinces and cities, four teachers were rated as model teachers in counties, and three teachers were awarded the title of excellent teachers in counties.
"Teachers will also become students." This is nothing new in Ningxiang No.7 Middle School. It turns out that in order to make teachers grow up as soon as possible, the school has improved the "tutorial system" and the "one-vote veto system". Young teachers apply for tutors themselves, and the school specially sends letters of appointment to tutors, and signs letters of responsibility with them, and tutors guide them hand in hand; At the same time, the whole school implements the "New Century Reading Project". At the beginning of the year, the teaching department of the school issued a teacher's bibliography, and at the end of the year, it was evaluated and "one-vote veto" was implemented. The implementation of the two systems has promoted the rapid growth of young teachers.
200 1, the school loudly put forward a new idea: to make the school another "normal college" for the growth of teachers and the cradle for the growth of famous teachers. In the past three years, the school has sent 55 teachers to participate in teacher training in cities and counties, and 12 teachers have visited and studied in Shanghai and Chengdu. To carry out the "Five Ones" school-based training in schools, each teacher is required to read an educational monograph every week, study in groups once a week, do 1000 questions every year, take reading notes of 10000 words every period, and write an award-winning paper every period. Schools often invite famous teachers from other places to give academic lectures, so that teachers can accept cutting-edge educational concepts and teaching guidance and guide their growth.
Curriculum reform opens up a new world.
On April 20 12, an upset broke out in No.7 Middle School: teachers participated in an efficient classroom competition organized by the General Education Department and the Teaching and Research Section, 4 teachers participated in the competition, and 3 teachers successfully entered the semi-finals.
After the final examination of 20 12, No.7 middle school was once again unpopular: the average score of the whole grade ranked first in similar schools in the county, among which Chinese, English, biology and politics ranked first in similar schools in the county, ranked second in geography, and entered the top three in mathematics, physics, chemistry and history. Especially in politics, the average score exceeds that of two county middle schools, and the history exceeds that of one county middle school. Among them, the biggest breakthrough is English and mathematics. In the teaching history of Ningxiang No.7 Middle School for nearly seven years, these two subjects have always been in the bottom position, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough. However, after the implementation of the "four in one", these two subjects have been successfully reversed.
What is the power to let the teachers in No.7 Middle School take the lead in curriculum reform? It is the inevitable result of the joint efforts of teachers in No.7 Middle School to promote the "four in one" teaching model.
Faced with the common problems in rural high schools, such as low quality of students, outdated teaching methods, students' weak interest in learning and serious weariness of learning, No.7 Middle School realized that classroom reform was imperative.
The teachers in No.7 Middle School, like Prometheus in myth, "stole" the fire of curriculum reform. As we all know, the fund operation of No.7 Middle School is very difficult, but the school leaders did not hesitate to organize two education and teaching backbones to study in Hengshui, Hebei Province last semester. From the second half of 20 1 to the beginning of 20 12, they organized four groups of nearly 100 people to go to Shandong Changle No.2 Middle School and Normal University. In addition, it costs nearly 8,000 yuan to invite experts to give lectures and purchase school-based training materials.
After the "ignition" project was completed, at the beginning of the 20 12 school year, the "four in one" teaching mode was formally and comprehensively implemented in No.7 Middle School. "Strong quality inside, strong brand outside" kicked off.
"Four-in-one" learning plan guiding teaching method is an experimental model of teaching reform based on the attempt of "guiding, exploring and practicing" group cooperative learning in No.7 Middle School. It takes lesson plans as the carrier of students' learning, teachers' design, guidance, summary and evaluation as the guidance, and task-driven as the learning goal, aiming at promoting students' autonomous learning and group cooperative learning and improving classroom teaching efficiency.
If we really want to implement curriculum reform, we can't become a mere formality. The school has successively issued such systems and schemes as the classroom teaching operation flow of Ningxiang No.7 Middle School, the requirements and detailed rules for compiling teaching plans, the cooperative learning group evaluation scheme, how to divide classes, the class collective evaluation system, and the classroom evaluation standard for teachers' new curriculum reform.
The school boldly implements the new curriculum reform, constantly updates teachers' teaching concepts and reforms teachers' teaching modes, methods and means. Teachers are required to apply educational theories, study educational topics, sum up teaching experience, refine teaching models, innovate teaching methods and comment on teaching quality. The whole school teachers insist on teaching reflection, write teaching postscript, write educational cases and freeze the classroom model. In teaching, there has been a good situation of solid teaching preparation, real classroom teaching effect and the implementation of homework and counseling. Especially in classroom teaching, teachers overcome low-level, repetitive and mechanical schoolwork training, and make full use of new teaching methods such as discussion, guidance and heuristic, so that students can draw inferences from one another, provide students with time and space for independent and free development, and fully stimulate their potential.
Heaven rewards diligence, spring flowers and autumn fruits. In recent years, Ningxiang No.7 Middle School's college entrance examination results are among the best in the county every year, especially this year's college entrance examination, exceeding the college entrance examination tasks assigned by the county education bureau. In the past three years, the passing rate of single subject in the school is over 85%, the passing rate of the second year of high school is over 96%, and the passing rate of the third year of high school is over 95%. The passing rate of students' experimental examination every year 100%. In the past three years, students have won 180 times in various subject competitions and music, physical education and beauty competitions, including 5 times at the provincial level and 5 times at the national level, which has sent a large number of outstanding freshmen to higher schools, with 5438+044 times, 235 times, 357 times and 439 times in 2006.
One day, I will ride the wind and waves, raise the Yun Fan and cross the sea. ZTE Ningxiang No.7 Middle School has not stopped moving forward. She will meet new challenges and open up a better future.
