As a teacher, how to plan your career?

As a special profession, teachers must pursue and realize their abilities, skills and values along lofty goals through effective career planning on the road of career growth in order to achieve career success.

In fact, the criteria for judging the success or failure of a teacher's career are mainly the level of independent development, personal professional experience, students' affirmation and social respect. External changes such as professional title, position, remuneration and status are secondary. Generally speaking, the standard of teachers' professional success can be measured by the nature and results of professional development. Because the evolution of teachers' career can actually be regarded as the process of teachers' professional development, that is, "the process of teachers' professional growth or the process of teachers' internal professional structure constantly updating, evolving and enriching." This success has many forms, such as the improvement of teachers' knowledge, skills and judgment in classroom work, the contribution to professional groups, and the embodiment of the significance of education and teaching in personal life. It can reflect the level and level of teachers' professional success. A successful teacher should make outstanding achievements in teaching practice, make innovative academic contributions in educational theory and practice, have lofty personality charm and win the sincere love of students and society.

How do teachers plan their career?

In the design of teachers' career planning, there are basic problems that must be considered for both individuals and schools: first, the confirmation of ability, values and working conditions; The second is the accurate judgment of teachers' personality types.

I. Confirmation of abilities, values and working conditions

When choosing a career as a teacher, we should measure our abilities, values and interests through various test materials and scales in advance. A clear understanding of one's current abilities, values, interests and other current situations and problems will help to establish the development direction and make a clear plan. For teachers who have just joined the work, there is a gap between the career they choose and their personal ideals. With the passage of career time, we will gradually realize that the development of career runs through life and needs constant adjustment in the course of career.

Second, the accurate judgment of teachers' personality types.

Simon, Canada? What about Simon Dolan and Lando? Randall S.Schuler introduced the famous Dutch career theory in the book Human Resource Management-the Power Source of Canada's Development. This theory studies the factors affecting career choice from the perspective of personal adaptation to the environment. Holland believes that people should choose those environments that are suitable for exerting their skills and abilities, expressing their attitudes, difficulties and taking on certain roles. He put forward six career types, which are widely used as a means to predict career aspirations and career choices. In fact, this distinction of professional types can also have certain reference significance for the analysis of teachers' professional types.

1. Conventional type (traditional type): People with this personality type are very common in transactional occupations. They are easy to organize, like to deal with data and figures, like clear goals, and can't accept ambiguous States. They are obedient, orderly, efficient and pragmatic. If you use impolite words, it shows that you lack imagination, can control yourself and have no flexibility. Cashier is a typical representative of this type.

2. Art type: This type forms the strongest contrast with the traditional type. They like to choose careers in music, art, literature and opera. They think they are imaginative, intuitive, impulsive, introspective and independent. Such people are more qualified in language than in mathematics. If there are some negative language descriptions, such people are extremely emotional and disorganized.

3. Realistic type: This type of person is sincere, frank, steady, pragmatic, shy, lacking in insight and easy to obey. They generally have mechanical ability and are willing to engage in semi-technical or physical occupations (such as plumbers and assembly line workers). They are characterized by strong task continuity, but less social needs, such as negotiating and persuading others.

4. Social: Social people are almost the opposite of realistic people. Such people like to provide information and help others, like to develop interpersonal relationships, and like to work in an orderly and institutionalized working environment. Besides being sociable, these people are witty, sophisticated, friendly, easy to understand and helpful. The more negative aspect of his character is his arbitrariness and his love of manipulating others. Social people are suitable for nursing, teaching, marketing, sales, training and development.

5. Innovative (entrepreneur): This type of person is similar to social people, and he or she also likes to cooperate with others. The main difference is that innovative people like to control and lead others (rather than help and understand others), and their purpose is to achieve specific organizational goals. This type of person is confident, ambitious, energetic and talkative. The negative side of his personality characteristics is bossiness, strong desire for power and impulsiveness.

6. Investigation and research type: This type is almost the opposite of innovation. Such people are willing to observe and analyze phenomena for the development and understanding of knowledge. These people are complex, original and independent, and biologists, sociologists and mathematicians mostly belong to this type. In commercial organizations, such people often hold the positions of R&D and consulting personnel. These positions need complex analysis and do not need to convince others.

A person is not just a certain type, but a combination of two or three types. Holland believes that people who have two or three personality traits at the same time are more susceptible to environmental factors, and the result is often that the job chooses them, not them.

Teachers' career can be developmental or stagnant; It can be success or failure. In order to achieve career success and professional development or growth, teachers must plan their own career.
