—— President Hu of Wenzhou Middle School in Zhejiang Province
Education is a career, and the significance of a career lies in dedication; Education is science, and the value of science lies in seeking truth; Education is art, and the life of art lies in innovation. Dedication, truth-seeking and innovation constitute the main color of his educational life, which contains the meaning and value of his life. Because of this, although he is ordinary, he has extraordinary personality charm, advanced consciousness and leadership courage, which makes Wenzhou Middle School, a century-old famous school in Zhejiang Province, glow with youthful vigor and vitality and open a new page leading the future of Wenzhou education. In 2002, Hou, director of the Provincial Department of Education, attended Wenzhong's centenary celebration and inspected the new campus. He was infinitely amazed: "New ideas, great craftsmanship and fine production!"
Who is he? He is Hu, the representative of the Tenth People's Congress of Zhejiang Province and the headmaster of Wenzhou Middle School in Zhejiang Province. As a young man, he holds several positions, making suggestions for the development of education in Wenzhou. He is also the chairman of Wenzhou No.51 Middle School, the chairman of Wenzhou's "mathematician cradle project" and the president of Wenzhou 19 key middle school principals' association.
From an ordinary teacher to the youngest principal at that time, from the principal of an ordinary middle school to the principal of a provincial key middle school, he performed a brilliant and meaningful growth process for his ordinary life. As the first batch of "famous principals" in Zhejiang Province, he is always so calm and confident when talking about himself.

When I first met Hu, I was often amazed by his tall and straight figure like an athlete. As everyone knows, in the first year of teaching, he really became a physical education teacher.
From 65438 to 0978, Hu took the college entrance examination after graduating from high school and was admitted to the Mathematics Department of Zhejiang Normal University with high scores. From 65438 to 0982, after graduation, she was assigned to Wenzhou No.6 Middle School (Wenzhou Experimental Middle School) and became a glorious people's teacher. Because of his unique skills and the shortage of PE teachers, he mistakenly became a PE teacher for one year after graduating from mathematics.
President Hu talked about this experience with a smile and admitted that he was the absolute main force and top player of the school volleyball team and basketball team when he was studying in college. Although he loves sports and is handy in physical education teaching, what he really likes is to be a math teacher. Soon, he got his wish and took away two students. During that time, his class teacher worked effectively and achieved outstanding teaching results. It is widely praised by teachers and students of the whole school and stands out among young teachers. He said that it was only then that he really realized the value of life as a teacher, so he was determined to take root in teaching.
1990, director of the Academic Affairs Office of Wenzhou No.6 Middle School, was transferred to Wenzhou No.11 Middle School as the vice president, becoming the youngest middle school principal in Wenzhou education at that time. He has been in charge of teaching for five years. During his tenure, he emancipated his mind, dared to innovate and initiated hierarchical teaching, which greatly improved the quality of education and teaching in the school and effectively reversed the passive situation of school enrollment. Although he is very young, his diligent working attitude and pioneering spirit have won the praise of all teachers and students.
Wenzhou No.8 Middle School is his second stop in the post of principal. 1995 Up to now, he has served as vice president, principal and secretary of the general party branch. As the headmaster of a school, although the burden on his shoulders is heavy, the pace of reform has also made greater strides. Faced with the situation that the quality of education and teaching needs to be continuously improved and the number of teachers in the school is insufficient, he boldly reformed the management system and tried out the teacher appointment system and the structural wage system by strengthening the construction of teachers. Excellent and effective reform has laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of Wenba Middle School. With the increasingly mature work, he has a broad mind and a strong sense of the market, and dares to take various reform measures, so that the school has shown a good momentum of stable development in just a few years.
In August 2000, Hu was transferred to the headmaster of Wenzhou Middle School in Zhejiang Province, and began the most challenging new voyage in his long voyage of awarding sea.
Looking back on the road I have traveled for nearly 20 years, nonsense: "People who don't know me say that I am lucky and always catch up with opportunities. Indeed, I was lucky to catch up with the good times. But in fact, every opportunity is a challenge and pressure for me. I think that the reason why I can make some achievements and make some contributions to Wenzhou education is because when I was under pressure, I never stopped thinking about how to run a good school and make unremitting efforts for education. "

"I want to go to Wenzhou Middle School twice, once in junior high school, and I want to study here; Another time I graduated from college, I want to be assigned to Wenzhou Middle School. As a result, neither wish came true. Today, I'm here to be the principal! ..... I will make great efforts to cherish this hard-won opportunity ... ".
At the beginning of Hu's appointment, the teachers in Wenzhou Middle School still remember what he said at the first faculty meeting. Plain writing contains his unique personality charm, which embodies his unhurried self-confidence, persistent and resolute character and enterprising spirit.
Tao Xingzhi, a people's educator, said: "To evaluate a school, we must first evaluate its principal." Get close to President Hu and get in touch with Hu, and you will feel a kind of mutual trust and charisma. His frank and peaceful attitude, fair and just behavior, and his spirit of helping the teacher to solve difficulties always make you impressed.
The ancients said, "Fair, honest and powerful." It means that managers should have a fair heart, be strict with themselves and be lenient with others, so as to establish prestige and gain everyone's trust and support.
In fact, Hu did just that.
In his mind, teachers are the key to the school, and every teacher and every post is very important. He said that what he did was actually what the teacher was doing, and it was right to be able to do something for the teacher. This speech is very simple, but it highlights Hu's view of teachers. Macro and micro, he put into action, bit by bit, and people felt his good intentions. In order to improve the treatment of teachers, he did not fear the difficulties and complained to the higher authorities many times; In order to solve various contradictions in the reform, he took pains to do the ideological work of teachers; In order to let the recruited teachers work with peace of mind, he went around tirelessly to properly solve their difficulties and eliminate their worries. He cares about teachers' lives and mobilizes social resources to help them solve the problems of teachers' children's nursery and study. He cares about the professional level of teachers, especially the growth of young teachers, and tries his best to let them continue their studies at all costs. His personality charm is evident. Hu especially cherishes talents. He can study each teacher's specialty, know how to make good use of people and make the best use of them. This is nature after a hundred years. Thanks to his efforts, an ideal team of teachers is taking shape.
When Hu was mentioned, Ma Yubin, a new teacher, was deeply touched. In March last year, Mr. Ma took part in the talent recruitment examination of the Municipal Bureau and left the examination center in a hurry to return to his hometown. He left the hotel less than a quarter of an hour. Unexpectedly, Hu wanted to interview him immediately after class. I couldn't reach him by phone at first, but I looked everywhere. It took a lot of effort to contact him, and he took a long breath. Now, it's been a year since this incident, and Mr. Ma has been promoted as the director of the teaching and research section of the school because of his excellent work performance, but every time he talks about this little thing, he always feels deeply.
In the face of such a principal, you say, who can turn a deaf ear, rest on its laurels and slack off in its work? It is his sincerity, prestige and charisma that make all teachers unite into a powerful collective in a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, make every teaching reform measure of the school be implemented smoothly, and make the school enter a brand-new development stage.

Ouyue is land. Since ancient times, mountains and rivers have won, and people are outstanding. Wenzhou Middle School, with a long history, not only records the development history of Wenzhou's modern education, but also shows the achievements of Wenzhou's basic education reform and development in the 2 1 century.
Now, if you want to know the development of Wenzhou education, you must go to Wenzhou Middle School. When you wander in the dignified and magnificent school buildings and the lush campus, you will never imagine that this first-class new campus covering an area of more than 300 acres was built in just two years; I can't imagine this new campus with an investment of more than 200 million, and the government's financial investment is only more than 20 million. This is an amazing educational miracle, which is inseparable from Hu's efforts.
In August, 2000, at the age of 40, he took the expectation of the Municipal Bureau and the great trust of establishing a first-class school, and went to a new post full of challenges.
At the beginning of his tenure, he was faced with two major events that people in the city paid attention to: the construction of the new campus of Wenzhou Middle School and the preparation for the centenary celebration.
I have no time to indulge in the joy of my new job, and I have no mind to indulge in the joy of success. He silently outlined the blueprint for the future of Wenzhou Middle School. He believes that only with advanced consciousness can there be advanced development; Only with modern school conditions can modern education be guaranteed.
In this way, in order to run a first-class school, under the leadership of Hu, the school began the road of debt-ridden construction and development.
200 1 1, the construction of the new campus broke ground.
In August 2002, it moved smoothly; In September of that year, 2,700 students were welcomed; On June 5438+00, the school celebrated its centenary birthday. ...
It was a day of golden breeze and sweet osmanthus fragrance. Wenzhou Middle School in Zhejiang Province celebrated its centenary in the newly completed campus, and it was full of guests and friends. The whole activity reached its climax in a grand, peaceful and complete atmosphere.
With his down-to-earth and capable style, enterprising spirit, fighting spirit, unshakable reform consciousness and dedication, he overcame many difficulties and handed in an excellent answer sheet to the people of the city.
Today, the new campus of Wenzhou Middle School covers an area of 338 mu with a total investment of 220 million yuan. Seven islands and six bridges, pavilions and waterside pavilions, advanced facilities, beautiful environment, the integration of ecology, garden style and modernity, and the originality of people-oriented everywhere. Less than half a year after moving into the school, it has received more than one batch of visiting groups from home and abroad 100, which has become an exquisite business card for Wenzhou's education development and aroused great interest and concern from colleagues in the education sector all over the country.

In a blink of an eye, Hu has been in Wenzhou Middle School for more than two years. Whenever people praise his achievements, he always modestly says that he didn't do anything earth-shattering and vigorous, but did something for the school that the headmaster should do.
However, all teachers in Wenzhou Middle School know that since Hu Lai came, the school has quietly changed: the establishment of mathematics experimental classes, the recruitment of excellent teachers from all over the country, the teaching of more and more scientific research achievements, and the steady improvement of teaching quality ... Among teachers, there are fewer part-time jobs and more selfless dedication; There are no more grumblers, but more concentrated on their studies. The more important change is that teachers' educational ideas and concepts are undergoing profound changes.
As a modern headmaster, he is diligent in thinking, brave in pioneering and willing to explore, which has made him profound in thought and keen in insight. Under his influence, the leading group United and worked hard, and the teachers worked hard.
A person, a group, always needs a goal. Under Hu's auspices, the leading group solicited opinions from the teaching and administrative staff extensively, accurately positioned, carefully analyzed and demonstrated, and formulated a development plan for the next five years in accordance with the overall principle of "high starting point, high specification and high grade".
Under the new situation, we should inherit the tradition and take the road of connotation development: carry out a series of reforms in depth, introduce new competition mechanisms, activate the existing educational potential, continuously expand high-quality educational resources, and further improve the quality and efficiency of education. It is clearly pointed out that the school should become a model school to practice quality education-enrich the connotation of quality education, promote curriculum reform, optimize educational behavior, and play an experimental and demonstration role inside and outside the province; The school should become a learning school to cultivate innovative teachers-emphasize cooperative learning and reflective practice, establish the learning concept of "work is learning", have a good school-based teacher training mechanism, and build a team of teachers who are willing to contribute, superior to teaching, innovative and adaptable to the future; The school should become an open school to cultivate high-level talents-create a relaxed and open environment (open ideas and open resources) and cultivate high-level basic talents with comprehensive quality, distinctive personality, creativity and adaptability to development.
"This is the most complete and comprehensive plan since Wenzhou Middle School was founded," said the teacher of Wenzhou Middle School.
Hu is taking the lead in carrying out all-round internal management system reform. Implement the teacher's teaching evaluation scheme and the evaluation method of the class teacher's work, and establish the education and teaching evaluation system; Modify the structural wage system to reflect "distribution according to work, high quality and high salary" and cancel the unified distribution of benefits; Deepen the appointment system of teachers, "low-level appointment, high-level appointment and low-level appointment", separate evaluation and appointment, and change the system of consistent professional titles; Establish a post responsibility system, clarify responsibilities, appoint people according to posts, and do not set up posts. The school has continuously deepened the reform and improved the measures, which has effectively stimulated the enthusiasm of the teaching staff and formed a good competition mechanism.
With Hu's efforts, the school successfully realized the transition from a day school to a boarding school in 2002. He set an example and mobilized teachers to participate in management, overcoming all kinds of difficulties since the implementation of boarding management. Now, the boarding school model is gradually showing a good trend of "taking quality education as the theme, cultivating innovative spirit as the core and building campus culture as the feature".
Hu also has long-term educational value and function. He believes that human modernization is the foundation of educational modernization. To promote educational innovation, we must first build a team of teachers with modern educational ideas and master modern educational teaching methods and means. Only in this way can we train a large number of modern basic talents. Therefore, he often organizes various learning activities in a targeted manner to urge the faculty to change their ideas. He advocates research-oriented schools, taking "open lesson preparation activities", research-based learning and inquiry-based teaching research as the breakthrough points, creating a relaxed teaching and learning environment, allowing students to "actively participate, be willing to explore and be diligent in doing things" and cultivating their innovative spirit and practical ability. In recent years, the school has made great progress in teaching and scientific research. The faculty and staff of the whole school published 158 papers and undertook provincial and municipal projects 10. There are more than 20 national awards and 45 provincial awards. With the deepening of education and teaching reform, the quality of education and teaching in Wenzhou middle schools has always maintained a high level, and the scores of subject competitions are among the best, and the key online rate of college entrance examination is stable at over 70%.
"He is a pioneering principal, always thinking about various problems and planning various schemes in his mind." This is the teacher's pertinent evaluation of President Hu's broadening of ideas.

It takes three generations to make a gentleman. As an educator, Hu has a big picture and is not eager for quick success. As Mr. Cai Yuanpei said: "Educators are not for the past, not for the present, but for the future." Hu is not limited to school work. He always pays attention to the whole education in Wenzhou and how many talents we have trained who have made outstanding contributions to society after 10, 20 years or even 30 years.
He believes that Wenzhou has always had a good mathematical tradition and has trained a large number of mathematicians who have attracted worldwide attention. Now we should continue to carry forward this traditional advantage and train more math successors for the country. Over the past few years, he has made many noises and finally got today's "mathematician's cradle" project. With the support of the Municipal People's Government and the Municipal Education Bureau, the "Cradle of Mathematicians" project foundation raised more than 2 million yuan.
Heaven rewards diligence. Although Hu can always hide in front of Rong Yu, what he has done has been recognized by everyone. As the principal of a provincial key middle school and the training object of provincial famous principals, he was awarded the honorary title of "Excellent Educator in Zhejiang Province" in 2002 and was gloriously elected as the representative of the Tenth People's Congress of Zhejiang Province.
When talking about the development prospect of Wenzhou Middle School, President Hu was filled with emotion. He said that there was great pressure, and it was impossible without development. Now he is planning to do several international education projects: preparing to set up the school's international education department, offering seven-year dual-degree courses and holding the "English Village" summer camp. ...
"Sometimes I ride the wind and waves, raise my muddy sails and sail in the deep sea". We believe that under the leadership of Hu, Wenzhou Middle School will usher in a more brilliant tomorrow.
