I remember it was my fifth year of education. There is a student named Xu Wei in our class. He is chubby and articulate. He is a lovely boy. However, he doesn't feel so good in his study. He always can't concentrate in class, and he is slow in doing his homework and refuses to use his head. He often doesn't do his homework at home, even if he doesn't do it thoroughly, his writing is quite sloppy. The team leader complains to me every day. So, I had a heart-to-heart talk with him, hoping that he could abide by the rules and regulations of the school, concentrate on his studies, finish his homework on time, correct his mistakes when he knows them, work hard, and strive to be a good boy that everyone loves. He made a good promise verbally. But he just "dares to admit his mistakes and never changes." He still goes his own way and makes no progress. Every time I get angry with him, my heart gets cold. How many times have I thought about it? Forget it. Maybe he is a deadwood. But I think that as a class teacher, we should not shrink back because of a little difficulty, and we should not affect the whole class because a student with learning difficulties cannot transform. I want to live up to my conscience and try my best to reform him! I put my heart on this line: I will not stop until I change you. He didn't make progress, perhaps because he didn't have a clear learning purpose, didn't really realize his mistakes, and didn't really want to be a person that others liked.
In order to transform Xu Wei, I have taken the following measures. I first made him realize his mistake and set up the idea of being a good boy. So I talked to him again. In the conversation, I said, "Do you want to correct your mistakes? Do you want to be a likable child? What should you do? " "I will abide by discipline and finish my homework carefully in the future." "Then you must keep your word!" "good!" Later, he made remarkable progress in discipline and study. When he makes a little progress, I will praise and motivate him in time. Let him feel that the teacher cares about him everywhere. He also gradually understood the truth of being a man, made clear the purpose of learning, and corrected his attitude towards learning.
In order to improve his academic performance, I not only educated him ideologically and influenced him, but also specially arranged a female classmate (Zhu Qian) with strong sense of responsibility, good academic performance, helpfulness and patience to sit with him, with the purpose of exerting the strength of her peers. Before, I had a talk with this female classmate (Zhu Qian): Don't discriminate against him for the sake of the class, but try your best to help him patiently and urge him to make progress. Zhu Qian readily promised and made full use of his spare time or class time to help him. Sometimes, Zhu Qian's classmates get impatient and say that Xu Wei is not obedient and unwilling to study ... At this time, I tell Zhu Qian: Be patient and take your time. Later, when Xu Wei made progress, I not only praised him, but also encouraged them to say that it was inseparable from the help of his classmates, especially Zhu Qian. With the help of his classmates and his own efforts, he has made great progress in all aspects. He studied harder, observed discipline more, improved his enthusiasm for learning, and made great progress in his grades. To this end, I feel sincerely happy. I think that "teachers don't teach students badly, only teachers who don't teach well" is completely correct, and our children need to be edified with love and patience.
From this educational story, I deeply realized how to be a good class teacher.
First, people-oriented, love influence.
When we educate students, we must first build a caring bridge with them. Only in this way can teachers have love. "Love is the premise of educating students well". For a child like Xu Wei, we should open our hearts and touch his heartstrings with love. "Touched by emotion and understood by reason", warm him with teacher's love, convince him with emotion and reason, thus prompting him to recognize and correct his mistakes actively.
Second, peer help and friendship influence.
The help of classmates is indispensable to him, and the strength of classmates sometimes exceeds that of teachers. Once a bridge of friendship is established between classmates, they will talk about everything. Let him feel the trust of his classmates and feel that his classmates are his good friends. Let him feel the happiness brought by his classmates, let him study and live in happiness, and feel endless happiness in study and life! Through the education and infection of students, the emotional communication between students can be promoted, which can play a better role in the work of students with learning difficulties after transformation.
Third, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is persuasive.
As the saying goes, "a key opens a lock." The actual situation of each student is different, which inevitably requires the head teacher to deeply understand the students' behaviors, habits, hobbies and the reasons for their backwardness, so as to determine effective countermeasures, teach students in accordance with their aptitude and guide them correctly. Therefore, I use love as a medium to build a bridge between teachers and students. Give full play to students' strength, arrange a classmate with strong sense of responsibility, good academic performance and helpfulness to sit with him and give him help in study and thought, so as to arouse his self-confidence and enterprising spirit, make him correct his shortcomings, and then guide and motivate him to study hard and become a good student.
As an educator and a class teacher, we should treat every student and every child with appreciation and be good at discovering their bright spots. It is precisely because of the teacher's trust, respect, understanding, encouragement, tolerance and reminder that he regained his confidence.

Allusions and stories about education
1, Gaussian solution of mathematical problems
1796 One day, at the University of G? ttingen, Germany, a young man of 19 years old finished his dinner and began to tutor and arrange his own daily routine.
Yes, two math problems, but the young man found that the tutor assigned him another problem today. The third inscription is written on a small piece of paper, which is a requirement.
Make a regular 17 polygon with only compasses and an uncalibrated ruler. He did it without thinking much. However, young people feel very hungry.
Force. Young people rack their brains and feel that the knowledge of mathematics they have learned is of no help in solving problems. Difficulties aroused the struggle of young people.
I have to do it! When the window showed a glimmer of light, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally worked out the difficult problem. see
When I arrived at my tutor, the young man felt guilty and blamed himself. He said to his tutor, "I have been working on the third question you assigned me all night."
I failed you to cultivate me. "The tutor took the students' homework and was shocked. He said in a trembling voice, "This is ... yes.
Did you make it yourself? "The young man looked at the excited tutor with some doubts and replied," Yes, but I am stupid.
It took a whole night to finish. "Instructor asked him to sit down, took out compasses and rulers, spread the paper on the table and called the youth to the front.
Do this problem in front of you. The young man solved the problem quickly. The tutor said excitedly to the young man, "Do you know that you have solved a problem?"
A math problem with a history of more than two thousand years? Newton didn't solve it, Archimedes didn't solve it, and you solved it overnight!
You are a genius! I have been studying this difficult problem recently. When I assigned you a topic yesterday, I accidentally put a small note with this topic written on it.
Caught the problem for you. Later, whenever the young man recalled this incident, he always said, "If someone tells me that this is a
Tao has a math problem with a history of more than 2,000 years, which I may not be able to solve. This young man is Gauss, the prince of mathematics.
2. The story of Tao Xingzhi
On one occasion, Tao Xingzhi saw the student Wang You hitting his classmate with mud, and immediately stopped him and asked him to go to the principal's office after school. Tao Xingzhi to the principal.
In the room, Wang You has been waiting at the door for training. Unexpectedly, Tao Xingzhi gave him a candy and said, "This is for you, because."
You were on time, but I was late. "The king you indecision stare big eyes. Tao Xingzhi took out the second candy and said to Wang You, "This second candy.
Sugar is for you, too, because when I don't let you hit anyone again, you stop right away. "Then Tao Xingzhi took out the third piece of candy:" I
I looked into it. All the boys you hit were bullying girls because they didn't follow the rules of the game. You hit them, which shows that you are honest and kind.
Well, you should be rewarded for having the courage to fight the bad guys! "Wang You was moved to cry and said," President Tao, you hit me twice.
Let me go. I was wrong. I didn't hit the bad guy, but my classmate ... "Tao Xingzhi smiled at this moment and immediately took out the fourth candy:" Because.
I have correctly recognized my mistake, and I will reward you with another candy ... My candy is missing, so I think our conversation should be over. "
3. The story of Mencius
Mencius' mother was called Meng Mu. Mencius lived near the cemetery when he was a child. Mencius learned some things such as worship and play.
Play funeral games. His mother said, "This place is not suitable for children to live in." So he moved his family to the market and Mencius learned.
Business and slaughter. The mother thought again, "This place is still not suitable for children to live in." His family moved to Gong Xue. The first month of a season.

Coming down. Mencius learned six arts when he grew up and gained the reputation of a great scholar. This gentleman thinks that all this is the result of Meng Mu's gradual enlightenment.
4. Tao Xingzhi feeds chickens
On one occasion, Mr. Tao Xingzhi gave a speech at Wuhan University. He walked to the podium and unhurriedly took out a big rooster from the box. Taixia
The audience froze, wondering what Mr. Tao was going to do. Mr. Tao calmly took out another handful of rice and put it on the table, then held down the cock's.
Boss, force it to eat rice. But the rooster only crows and doesn't eat. How can I make the rooster eat rice? He broke the cock's mouth and forced rice into it.
Reese. The cock struggled desperately, but still refused to eat. Mr. Tao gently released his hand, put the chicken on the table and stepped back.
The rooster began to eat rice by himself. At this time, Teacher Tao began to speak: "I think education is like feeding chickens." Mr. Wang forced the students
He doesn't want to learn by studying and instilling knowledge into him. Even if you learn it, you can't digest it. It won't be long before he returns his knowledge.
For sir. But if he is allowed to study freely and give full play to his subjective initiative, the effect will be good! "The audience at that time.
Rulei's voice cheered for Mr. Tao's opening speech.
5. Zhu reads a book
Zhu, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, is knowledgeable. He pays attention to classics and is interested in Confucian classics, history, literature, music and natural science.
Study, research. He emphasized "step by step" in reading methods. How on earth did you study? Zhu's right method is: "Word
Seek its training and judge its purpose. If you don't get ahead, you won't dare to ask for the back. If you don't pass this level, you won't dare to be flat. Step by step, you will be rational.
Ming, there is no easy trouble to get rid of. "That is to say, understand their meaning word for word.
Know their truth. If you don't know the front, don't rush to look behind. So there will be no omissions and mistakes. He said, "Scholars.
When reading a book, as long as you go forward, you won't go backwards. The more you read, the more you can't tell. If you don't regress, you can read it carefully. "that is to say, reading.
Down-to-earth, from shallow to deep, step by step, and sometimes review frequently, in order to take a step back for a while and gain solid knowledge.
(3) Extended reading of educational story cases:
Educators, educators in accordance with laws, regulations and industry norms, according to school conditions and professional titles, targeted, planned and organized education for the educated.
Educate and cultivate people's mental development, scrutinize people with existing experience and knowledge, and explain various phenomena, problems or behaviors for them.
High practical ability is based on a relatively mature or rational thinking of people, which makes things close to their most fundamental.
Existence, in which people slowly change from sensory contact with a thing to a state of cognitive understanding, and form a relatively perfect or rational.
Sexual self-conscious thinking ... but at the same time, people have self-conscious thinking and their own sensory dimensions, so any education
His conscious thinking may not be absolutely correct, but he should understand the direction of his thinking emotionally, as long as he does not deviate from the inherent nature of things;
Education is a kind of thinking teaching, and people have different thinking tendencies because of their own ideology. Therefore, education should be based on
The most objective and fair conscious thinking educates people, so that people's thinking will not be too biased and gradually enrich their thinking.
Mature and rational, so as to move towards the most rational self and have the most correct thinking cognition, which is the foundation of education. education
It is also a process of teaching and educating people, which can teach others the most objective understanding and then gain their own experience in their own lives.
I think the values. Education is a practical activity to improve people's comprehensive quality.
How to write educational narrative stories and teaching cases
The differences between teaching case, teaching design, teaching record and teaching narrative: ① Teaching case and teaching plan: Teaching plan (teaching design) is a pre-conceived educational and teaching idea, a brief explanation of educational measures to be implemented and a reflection of teaching expectations; Teaching case is a description of the education and teaching process that has happened and reflects the teaching results. (2) Teaching cases and teaching records: they are also descriptions of education and teaching, but teaching records are based on facts (judgment of facts), and teaching cases choose content according to their purposes and functions, which must be reflected by the author (value judgment). ③ The connection and difference between teaching cases and narrative research: in the sense of "situational stories", educational narrative research reports are also "educational cases", but "teaching cases" refer to teaching narratives that are typical, contain difficult problems, narrate from multiple angles and reflect (or the author's comments); Teaching cases must start from the goal of teaching task analysis, consciously select relevant materials, and do field work well in advance. Therefore, the daily educational narrative diary can be accumulated and can be used as the material for writing teaching cases.
Around the theme of "educational story"
Educational narrative generally includes teaching narrative, life narrative and autobiographical narrative.
The so-called teaching narrative means that teachers solve their own teaching problems in a reasonable and effective way in class, and then describe how they encounter this problem and how to solve it, so as to attract readers' attention and reflect their research value. This research value is manifested as a new educational idea, a new viewpoint or a certain idea.
The so-called life narrative is the teacher's own narrative of life events outside the classroom teaching, involving teacher management and class management, which can be called moral education narrative and management narrative respectively.
The so-called autobiographical narration means that teachers recall and record educational events in their educational life, and these events often contain teachers' own educational beliefs.
No matter what kind of narrative, it is very important that the teaching narrative not only emphasizes that the content described has a certain plot, but more importantly, it promotes or touches the change of teachers' own ideas or consciously through the process of events. Otherwise, it is a running account.
Requirements for writing educational narratives and draft cases
Educational narration means that researchers express their understanding and explanation of education by narrating and telling stories. It does not directly define what education is, nor does it directly stipulate what education should do. It just tells readers one or several stories, so that readers can understand what education is or what they should do from the stories. Educational narrative requirements are typical and can make readers touch their hearts. Emotional communication; Stimulate teachers' subjective consciousness and promote teachers' professional development.
The case should be written according to the title, background introduction, case description, case reflection and case comment. Among them, the topic should reflect the theme of reflection, the case description should be written as a course fragment, the reflection should be analyzed by thinking and reflection, and the case review should analyze the experience or lessons gained through the case. A case can be a reflection on writing teaching, and it can also be a reflection on education in teaching.

I have a little secret with my students.
XXXX school XXX
I am a freshman in the Chinese experimental class of Grade Two. When I saw those cute little guys, I was not worried about anything. I'm afraid they are not interested in math, because they are really interested in Chinese. At the age of seven or eight, they can write thousands of words. The way parents punish their children is to prevent them from reading. I'm a little scared to think about it!
After school started, the most worrying thing appeared. There are children in the class who reflect indifference to mathematics, and parents have also communicated with me. How can we make children interested in mathematics? In fact, in the face of a group of smart children, how can we make them like math? It's really a challenge for me!
In addition to using audio-visual education as much as possible in class, doing some animations and telling some stories, I also "relaxed" their discipline and brought them closer to me. I also have a little secret with my students.
As long as my parents exchange views with me, I will tell them: "The key to students' lack of interest in mathematics lies in losing confidence in mathematics! "We should give them confidence, so that they will like math! I am going to find a few classmates to do it first in advance. " Some parents asked me, is this good? I said, "actually, the exam is not an end, but how to make them learn better in the future."
In the following days, the questions I want to take will be posted on the Internet 3 to 5 days before the exam, and then I will say to the students who need confidence one by one, "We have to take the exam every two days, and the teacher has posted the questions on the Internet. Go down and do it! The teacher only tells you, don't tell others. " So they all went back to do it seriously, and with the help of their parents, they did it again easily and happily during the exam. When marking papers, I praised my classmates who had made great progress. At that time, I clearly saw their happy smiles!
A student wrote on the Internet: "Yesterday, Teacher Jiang handed out the test paper. I looked at it. The grade is A+. If I make two mistakes, the score will be 95-99. I sighed and said, If I get an A++, the score will be 100. Usually, you should concentrate on listening and being proactive in class, and your grades will get better and better. " Ah! This is really my most satisfactory math test paper. "Some students wrote:" Today is Wednesday1October 5th, 165438+. In the morning, our first class is math. Teacher Jiang asked first: Are you willing to attend classes or take exams? Many students expressed their willingness to take the exam. Hearing this, Mr. Jiang said, put the math book in the bag and put the pencil box outside. Hearing this, we all said with one voice: yeah! Math exam! After a while, Mr. Jiang handed out the test paper and we began to do the questions. When I finished the last question, I took a look, haha! I'll do it all! I will definitely get 100! "
You know, they are all children with "problems" in mathematics, and I am very excited to see their confidence in mathematics return. In this way, several children in the class who were not good at math last semester got good grades. They are very careful in class. Although their homework is not very good, they can better grasp the new content.
Real unit tests make me happier. A classmate who failed the make-up exam last class also got 84 points. He has become a member of the class who listens carefully and raises his hand actively, and has also become a confident child. But my secret with him will continue until he does better in the exam.
2. Teaching cases
Pay attention to each student's mood.
XXXXX school
Background introduction:
With the implementation of the new curriculum standards, it is inevitable that teachers should always think about whether their educational behavior conforms to the concept of the new curriculum. "A new round of curriculum reform is very important for changing students' learning status. Students' learning state can be described from three angles. The first is the mood of our students ... ",so paying attention to the emotional changes of children is what we need to pay special attention to.
Case description:
When I was teaching A Simple Addition and Subtraction, I created such a scene in both classes: I chose the best and worst math students in my class to have an oral "competition". The two groups of topics are as follows: 1, 324+198 5968-3999 396+498 2, 324+200 5968-4000 400+500. Of course, the result of the game is poor grades. Suddenly, all the students in the class raised their hands to express their opinions. They were "angry".
The development of the class is as smooth as designed, but the performance of the students in the "competition" still makes me uneasy: two "excellent" students cried alone and did not express any opinions, while the two "poor students" showed exactly the same: their eyes were shining with pride, but their faces were not smiling, and their "honor and disgrace were not shocking" made me remember. Isn't that what many great men pursue?
When the students were doing their homework, I immediately called "Eugenics" and gave him a brief explanation. After class, I apologized to the student (the teacher didn't consider your feelings) and focused on helping him analyze the reasons for "crying", hoping that he would become stronger and calmer when he encountered difficulties. I asked the poor student why he was unhappy about winning. I praised his progress and encouraged him to continue his efforts. At that time, I saw his happy smile
Case reflection:
Reflection 1: Teaching should pay more attention to each student's emotion.
There is a passage in Interpretation of Mathematics Curriculum Standards: "As mathematics learning promotes students' all-round development, we should pay more attention to emotional factors in learning. In fact, healthy and energetic learning activities, independent thinking and cooperative communication learning methods, and confident and respectful learning atmosphere are very conducive to the coordinated development of students' non-intellectual factors and intellectual factors, and to the formation of healthy personality. " This shows that it is very important to pay attention to students' emotions in teaching.
The purpose of scenario creation in this lesson is to stimulate the mood of the whole class, attract students' attention through the "accident" that poor students are faster than excellent students, stimulate students' interest in learning, actively think about the characteristics of finding topics, and understand that the essence of simple algorithms is "rounding". Zankov, an educator, said: "Once the teaching method touches students' emotional and will fields and their spiritual needs, it will play a highly effective role." For most students, the course design has achieved the expected results, but when I saw the crying expression of "gifted students" and the "honor and disgrace" of poor students, I knew that I had failed them, which was obviously not their spiritual needs.
Reflection 2: Give more encouragement to poor students and frustration education to excellent students in teaching.
The "honor and disgrace" reflected by poor students reminds me of a profound story told by netizens on the "Primary Mathematics Education Network": an old teacher went to the farmer's market to buy food, met a student who made a fortune in a small business, and the student who was selling eggs warmly invited the teacher to dinner. The teacher said, "Don't you feel embarrassed to sell eggs?" The student said, "This is nothing compared with what you taught me in those years ...".
This story mainly satirizes the teacher's teaching behavior towards poor students, which deserves our reflection, just as students dare not "speak out" when they win the competition, right! We really should give poor students more sunshine, so that they can not only suffer setbacks, but also bathe in bright sunshine and have a sound personality.
On the other hand, what students benefit most is the teacher's "concern". He became strong in the face of numerous setbacks and blows, and this quality will make him enjoy its fun all his life. Therefore, frustration education is an important lesson in life. Talented students who have been studying well rarely encounter setbacks, so they cry after losing in an informal competition. Someone specially studied the biographies of 293 famous foreign writers and artists, and found that 127 of them suffered great setbacks in their lives. The sentence "heroes have suffered a lot since ancient times, and there has never been a beautiful man" shows that most successful people are made of suffering. Mencius pointed out: "If God wants to be a great man, he must first suffer from his mind, his bones and muscles, his body, and his body ..." All these show that frustration education is an indispensable nutrition for children's growth, as well as for gifted students.
Looking back at the previous teaching clips, the teacher apologized for his unconscious disregard of respecting students' personality. However, psychological activities are obviously inclined to eugenics. In the family and school environment, "gifted students" almost all grow up in "preferential treatment". It is characterized by fear of difficulties and poor psychological ability to bear setbacks. In fact, it is impossible for a child's life not to encounter setbacks. Teachers have the responsibility to "immunize" them early. Let them take their time in the face of difficulties and setbacks, and don't have nervous and negative emotional reactions. Calm in the face of setbacks can not be achieved by preaching alone. Children must experience setbacks in order to surpass them. Therefore, teachers should also pay attention to the design of educational environment in education and teaching, and don't blindly create an educational environment for students to meet all their needs easily, let alone hinder them from properly accepting difficulties and setbacks.
Case review:
1. The problems considered in this lesson are forward-looking. This curriculum reform puts forward the fields of emotion, attitude and values, which reflects the emphasis of contemporary education on students' emotional fields. This paper reflects the deep understanding of front-line teachers in this field.
2. A good teaching situation design should consider the role of students in all-round development while considering teaching.
3. In teaching, we should look for the bright spots of poor students, let them answer simple questions and rebuild their self-confidence; At the same time, we should look for the weaknesses of gifted students and promote their all-round development.

Seven classic talent cases in the history of China.
Case of introducing talents: Qin Zhao Wu Wang kneels for Fan Sui.
King Qin Zhao is ambitious and wants to unify the whole country. He showed extraordinary tolerance in attracting and recruiting talents. Fan Sui was originally a hermit, and he was familiar with the art of war. Zhao Haoqi of Qin drove to visit Fan Sui. When he saw this, he stepped back and knelt down and asked, "Sir, please advise?" But Fan Sui prevaricated, awkward. Therefore, Zhao Haoqi of Qin "knelt down for advice for the second time", and his attitude was more respectful, but he remained silent. Qin Guo knelt down again and said, "Is it unfortunate that your husband taught me to do evil?" This third kneeling moved Fan Sui, revealing his worry that he didn't want to talk. Hearing this, Qin Guo knelt down for the fourth time and said, "Sir, don't worry, let alone doubt me. I sincerely ask for your advice. " Fan Sui was still worried, so he tried to say, "Your Majesty's plan sometimes fails." Zhao Haoqi of Qin was not angry with this responsibility and realized that Fan Sui might have to make suggestions. So he knelt down for the fifth time and said, "I want to hear the details of your husband." . Words are more sincere and attitudes are more respectful. This time, Fan Sui also felt that the time was ripe, so he promised to help Zhao Haoqi of Qin and help him unify the six countries. Later, Fan Sui devoted himself to helping Zhao Haoqi of Qin succeed, and the story of Qin Zhao and Wang Wu kneeling in Fan Sui has been praised by people for thousands of years, becoming a model for attracting and recruiting talents.
A case of knowing talents: A pair of chopsticks gave up Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu is an important minister in Han Jing. He put down the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms, made great achievements, advised Prime Minister Han Jing, and was loyal. One day, Emperor Han Jing gave a banquet for Zhou Yafu and prepared a large piece of meat for him. But there is no incision, and no chopsticks are prepared. Zhou Yafu was very unhappy and asked the housekeeper for a pair of chopsticks. Emperor Jing of Han smiled and said, "Prime Minister, aren't you satisfied that I gave you such a big piece of meat?" I also asked the housekeeper for chopsticks, which is very particular! "Zhou Yafu smell speech, hurriedly knelt down to apologize. Han/Han/Chinese/human
1/8
Jingdi said, "Since the Prime Minister is not used to eating meat without chopsticks, forget it. The banquet is over." So, Zhou Yafu had to be excused, but he was depressed. When Emperor Jing of Han saw all this, he sighed: "Zhou Yafu can't stand my rudeness to him. How can he stand it at a young age?" . By eating meat, Han Jing found that Zhou Yafu was not fit to be the assistant minister of the prince. Emperor Jing of Han believed that Zhou Yafu should eat the meat he had given him, which was the virtue of a courtier to keep his duty. Zhou Yafu asked for chopsticks. Based on this, Emperor Han Jing concluded that if Zhou Yafu assisted the Prince, he would certainly make some unreasonable demands and give up his plan to make him an assistant prince.
