Qibao Middle School has a profound cultural heritage. 1998, the 700-word essay published by the school opened the curtain for teachers to write books and make statements, and it has not been closed since then. In 2007, the number of books published reached 17, and the number of authors expanded to more than 30. Qiu Zhonghai, the principal, believes that the formation of teachers' style of writing not only plays a role in improving the quality of running schools, but also makes more teachers embark on the road of experts.
In Qibao Middle School, writing books is no longer an individual's "self-entertainment", but a ladder for teachers to become "expert teachers". Teacher Yang Yimin was introduced to the school for 6 years, and after 13 years of teaching, she published the book Practical Skills and Cases of Psychological Counseling for Middle School Students. She said: "This was unimaginable before. It is the teaching and research atmosphere of the school and the demonstration of the principal, which touched me and touched this most sensitive' nerve'. " Now the second book about school group psychological games courses and cases has also been published. Mathematics teachers have published three monographs on mathematics teaching. He said, "it has become the happiest thing to sit at the computer desk and write books every night."
Teaching is to educate people, and writing books is to teach books well and teach them taste. The school encourages teachers to write books and advocates various teaching schools to let a hundred flowers blossom. In order to speed up a group of teachers with different teaching styles to become subject teaching experts in their own schools, the school has established a "file of teachers' teaching and scientific research achievements", and asked experts to point out and polish it. After the achievements of teachers' professional development are basically formed, the school provides funds and convenience to help teachers publish. Since 2005, the school has also set up the "Shanghai Qibao Middle School Teachers' Professional Research Series" to promote the "collectivization" of teachers' writing.
