Unique stocking education
Stocking education is the characteristic of Suzhou Lida Middle School. Stocking education advocates students to study independently and actively, and gives them enough time and space to develop themselves, which is also the essence of our understanding of "stocking". The first class starts at 8 o'clock in the morning, and each class is shortened from 45 minutes to 40 minutes. No subject courses will be arranged after four o'clock in the afternoon to ensure that students can carry out various extracurricular interest club activities. The proportion of students participating in clubs and comprehensive practical activities is 100%. Relying on famous schools, taking reform as the main line and characteristic development, Lida Middle School has become a modern school with high parental trust, good social reputation, sustainable development and certain times and experiments through its own operation and vitality.
Since the establishment of Lida Middle School, it has comprehensively inherited and carried forward the excellent school-running tradition of Suzhou Middle School, and from the reality, it has made great efforts to explore and form the education and teaching characteristics oriented to 2 1 century, which can promote the all-round improvement of students' quality and develop their individuality and specialties.
Over the years, Lida Middle School has conscientiously implemented the Party's educational principles and policies, adhered to the people-oriented principle, actively explored and innovated in education and teaching, changed the traditional form of "commenting" and established a "message" system that embodies the humanistic spirit. Each class of Grade One and Grade Two can apply for the "self-esteem, self-confidence and self-discipline" unmanned invigilation system to build a credit system. Adhere to quality education, deepen curriculum reform, never work overtime, and give students sufficient space for self-development. English is taught in small classes and two sets of textbooks are used together. Colorful extracurricular activities, especially the annual literary flower show, have been successfully held for 12 sessions, which are composed of dance, solo, song club, calligraphy, English talent, recitation, family talent and so on. They are rich and colorful, which makes students' quality develop in an all-round way.
The construction of campus culture takes The Analects of Confucius as the core and "inheriting traditional culture and integrating into the spirit of the times" as its characteristic orientation. The integration of tradition and times respects and encourages students' hobbies and specialties. The school has set up more than ten student associations, including Lida Art Troupe, Talent Literature Society, Chunyu Kunqu Club and Lida Reading Club, and has opened more than 30 school-based courses. Every student can find a suitable course class. The annual grand art festival and school sports meeting are the stage for students to fully display their hobbies and specialties. Lida Middle School started bilingual teaching in 2000 and set up bilingual experimental classes. In 2002, the school undertook the tasks of Suzhou bilingual teaching meeting and Suzhou curriculum reform meeting. In 2003, as the main venue of the national bilingual teaching observation conference, an open class of bilingual teaching observation was held for the delegates.
The school-based textbook "Mathematics Bilingual" has been edited and published and used in the teaching process. Bilingual teaching instruction series "Practical Manual of Bilingual Teaching in Middle Schools" (including mathematics, physical chemistry, historical geography, art and sports) was officially published by Suzhou University Press in 2003. At the end of 2003, the project of "Mathematics Bilingual Experiment" undertaken by Lida Mathematics Teaching and Research Group has completed the final report. All the signs on campus are written in bilingual, creating a strong bilingual atmosphere. In September 2000, the school began to set up a network teaching base class, which mainly undertakes and implements the pilot and research of network teaching and distance education. Chen Zhili, former Minister of Education, Liang, former secretary of Suzhou Municipal Party Committee, inspected the online education of the school and fully affirmed it. The number of online teaching base classes has increased from 1 to 6, and it has undertaken many experimental tasks of online teaching and distance education, with good results.
In 200 1 year, the school invested 800,000 yuan to build a new multimedia network classroom; In the same year, four portable projectors were purchased. In recent years, the school has increased investment and given priority to equipping front-line teachers with laptops. The teacher's notebook computer ownership rate reached 93%, which greatly improved the information teaching level of the school. Teachers who can use multimedia for classroom teaching reach 100%. It creates conditions for further exploring network teaching. 200 1, Lida middle school offered comprehensive practical courses on the basis of elective courses, which had been explored before the basic education reform plan of the Ministry of Education was officially introduced. In recent years, Lida Middle School has set up more than 100 comprehensive practical courses, with more than 50% teachers participating in the guidance and all students participating. This work has been on the right track and accumulated a lot of experience. School-based textbooks such as Case Study and Suzhou World Heritage Survey were compiled. It has become a window for Lida Middle School to show quality education. Especially due to the active development of chess activities, Lida Middle School became a national "Hundred Schools Chess" listed school in 2003.
Since 2007, Lida School has carried out interview admission, which has improved the comprehensive quality of students, paid more attention to the cultivation of students' personal psychological quality and social adaptability, and used it as a reference for admission. Since 1996, the school has implemented the "three-self-examination", which fully embodies the requirements of quality education with students as the main body. "Three-self" is a process of emancipating educational thoughts and changing educational concepts. It has changed the relationship between teachers and students in the traditional examination, changing the examination process from a single process of evaluating knowledge and teaching to a process of comprehensive evaluation (including knowledge, teaching, ideological quality and psychological quality), into a process of self-education and self-testing, as well as a process of cultivating collective honor and creating a good class. In recent years, students can correctly understand the significance of exams and improve their understanding of exams. They have certain self-control ability in the exam, and truly achieve "self-confidence, self-esteem and self-discipline". "Three-self" not only improves students' own quality in an all-round way, but also promotes the further improvement of school education and teaching quality.
Self-confidence-make sure that you have mastered the basic knowledge and skills: believe that you have good psychological quality; Believe that you can complete the exam independently; Believe that you can play your own level.
Self-respect-respect your character and pay attention to your words and deeds.
Self-discipline-restrain yourself from thinking and control yourself from behavior. The school has long practiced bilingual teaching. During the period of 2005-2007, the school participated in the third international mathematics competition (English volume) in Westpark, Australia for three times in a row, and all gained great results. The school has long established exchange and cooperation projects with foreign friendly schools and sent teachers and students to study abroad. Every year, the school sends a large number of outstanding students to key high schools such as Suzhou Middle School in Jiangsu Province and famous foreign schools, and has sent 72 students to Valley High School. Up to now, more than 160 people have been admitted to world-renowned universities such as Harvard University, Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge University, Oxford University, Tokyo University and Waseda University.
international communication
The school is based on facing modernization, the world and the future, and international education has become an important part of the "excellent talent education" implemented by the school. Since 2005, I have participated in the international mathematics competition in Westpark, Australia every year, and I have gained a lot. The organizing committee specially sent a letter to President Zhu Lin to congratulate him. In March, 2009, Professor peter taylor, Executive Chairman of Australian Mathematical Federation, made a special trip to our school to present awards to Lida students. The school has established sister schools with Singapore, Britain, the United States and other countries, and sends student delegations to communicate with each other every year. The school sends teachers abroad for further study and teaching every year. So far, 36 teachers have been sent to the United States, Britain, France, Australia and Singapore for training and teaching exchange.
