He is the prototype of the super teacher in Standing and Passing.

▲ The story of jaime escalante (left) was made into a film A Teacher, and edward james olmos (right) was nominated for an Oscar for starring in this film.

He came to America at the age of 33 and knew nothing about English except knowing and not knowing.

Teaching in Bolivia 1 1 year, but the teacher qualification certificate is not recognized by the United States;

Returning to college in his forties, teaching in his spare time and obtaining California teacher qualification certificate;

He was a computer teacher, but because there was no equipment in the school, he switched to be a math teacher.

He teaches in the worst high school, with more than 95% African-American and Hispanic students and 80% from poor families.

14 students took the AP exam and all passed. ETS questioned that two of them cheated, and 12 students passed the re-examination.

His students went from slums to famous schools one by one, and his school has become one of the best schools in America.

In 20 16, his head was issued as a commemorative stamp by the United States;

He is a legend in teaching-

He's jaime escalante!

Jamime Escalante summed up his secret of success with a sentence that all teachers can say: "I have professional knowledge and I have deep love for my students."

I also backed out on the first day of school.

Jaime escalante said that on her first day at work, she found that the students were completely out of her expectation-surprisingly poor: using very low-level language was completely out of control.

His first feeling was that he wanted to go back to his original job. He has a good computer job.

But he finally changed his mind. He said to himself, "I have to teach them how to take responsibility and respect others before I leave."

Jaime escalante first tried to attract the attention of a small number of students, and then tried to "brainwash" them, build a beautiful blueprint for the future university in their minds, and constantly give them confidence: "You can educate yourself as a person."

Zhan Mu gave the students a chance on the first day, and also gave himself a chance. He thinks it's a challenge: "We'll see, children!" "

An original intention of insisting on being a teacher

Jaime escalante worked as a teacher in Bolivia before coming to America. He has taught 1 1 year mathematics. After coming to America, I faced the challenge of learning English and continued to do other work. But deep down, what he always wanted to do most was to be a teacher.

When he graduated from CSU, got the teacher qualification certificate again and got the offer from Garfield High School, his long-cherished wish finally came true.

Professional knowledge and teaching ability

Jaime escalante has professional knowledge, but professional knowledge and teaching ability are not necessarily proportional. It is one thing to have professional knowledge, and it is another to be able to teach these knowledge to students. Combining the two, how to turn this knowledge into students' motivated learning is what teachers should do.

Whether a teacher can do this depends on how the teacher communicates with the students. Jaime escalante said that his teaching skills are to stimulate students' learning motivation, make them curious and eager for knowledge, and encourage them to believe that they have the ability to learn.

Stimulate students' team consciousness

Jaime escalante's method of motivating students is to establish team consciousness. He often encourages students to meet the AP exam as if they were taking part in the Olympic Games.

He often says to his students, "Listen, we have been preparing for this competition for two years. Be sure to defend in an all-round way and not be defeated by the exam. You are the best! "

Every time students take the AP exam, they will wear a jacket with the logo of the school mascot bulldog. Then he shouted in front of the examination room: "Defense! Defense! Defense! "

▲ Jamie escalante and his students

Break prejudice with strength

Schools that shave their heads in AP exams almost every year suddenly pass 14 students, which makes ETS suspicious. In 1982, ETS examination center thought that two students in jaime escalante were suspected of cheating, so all his students retaken the exam, but in the end their scores were higher than last time.

On this basis, the school promotes students' interest in mathematics and physics through various activities, so that more students can take AP exams. The number of students who pass the AP exam every year is twice that of the previous year.

Parents and students who are completely uninterested in education have more confidence in the school. Students often come to jaime escalante and say, "Because you said you believed what I did was right". Students also have more confidence in themselves and believe that they will eventually become great people.

He treats poor students like this.

There was once a student with poor grades. In jaime escalante's view, lack of self-confidence is the reason for his poor grades.

So, he did an incredible thing for this student: he told this student several times before giving a lecture to this student, and asked this student to give a lecture to the rest of the class. After the student finished the class with trepidation, jaime escalante said, "You did a good job. It would be perfect to be more confident next time! "

If a poor student wants to give a lecture to a good student, there is no reason to be poor. When other students think he speaks well, he has enough confidence in himself. Once you have self-confidence, learning is not difficult at all.

In jaime escalante's words, "It's not difficult at all. I just push them forward and push them harder and harder (I just start pushing and then keep trying harder and harder)."

The following year, this once "poor student" became jaime escalante's little assistant. Every time he helped, he got a little money. This is sponsored by the aid fund established in jaime escalante. In this way, students' labor achievements have been affirmed, and they have also saved money for going to college in the future.

Let students approach their dreams.

One of the reasons why jaime escalante didn't have a good first day at work was that he didn't make sufficient preparations himself. But every year after that, he was fully prepared: when students entered his class, the blackboard was covered with the names of universities, and he asked students to choose one: UCS, Stanford and Harvard. ...

Dreams are very important, but it is more important to know what dreams are like. After the students are selected, he will tell them, "I want to ask people from universities to introduce these schools to you."

Then he contacted the referees of the admissions office in the university and asked them to give lectures to the students in the school, so that the students could really feel the distance between the university and themselves and the direction they should work hard for.

He not only talks about grades with students, but also pays attention to cultivating students' sense of responsibility and always encourages students to make efforts for American education.

"We are all concerned about the future of American education, but I tell my students that you are not going to the future, but creating the future. The future is to be created through hard work. " -jaime escalante

Three sentences he gave to the teacher

Without children, there is no learning ability. As long as he wants to learn, he will certainly learn well.

Any child can learn if she or he is eager to learn.

Teachers should integrate their love and knowledge and use their enthusiasm to accomplish the goal of educating people.

A teacher must have love and knowledge, and then he must accomplish something with this combined passion.

Don't read by the book, let alone teach for salary.

Don't sit on the desk and give lectures. No, don't teach for money.

Jaime escalante's success is hard-won, and jaime escalante's theory is not unfathomable. On the contrary, the simplest truth is often the hardest to do.

It is better to retreat into a net than to fish in the forest. Both parents and teachers can combine their own knowledge and strategies from today to stimulate children's learning motivation, cultivate children's self-confidence in learning, encourage children and believe in children. Every child can become a great person.
