Three Questions about Sun Shuangjin and Sun Shuangjin

1 our reporter: president sun, beijing east road primary school is a famous primary school. She is in Nanjing, the ancient capital and capital city of the Six Dynasties. What are the professional characteristics of urban primary school teachers? As the principal of a famous city primary school, how do you lead the professional growth of urban teachers according to their characteristics, and make most of them finally enjoy professional happiness and self-worth?

Sun Shuangjin: Your question is very representative. Beijing east road Primary School is a famous primary school in Nanjing, Jiangsu and even the whole country. Comrade The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) Li Changchun visited Beixiao. Praise her as a "model of quality education" in the school. As a primary school in a big city, what are the characteristics of teachers? This is also a question that I have pondered a lot in recent years. Personally, I think city teachers have the following characteristics:

First, the overall quality is high. On the one hand, teachers have strong professionalism. Teachers are full of enthusiasm in their work. They are full of love for education, and what they say most is "I want to be worthy of every student, I want to be worthy of my own conscience". On the other hand, teachers have high cultural quality. Most of the teachers in our school have bachelor's degrees, and about 2% of the teachers have participated in on-the-job postgraduate study. Most teachers have a good foundation in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, and Chinese and English. They are elegant in temperament and have a good conversation, and they are "full of poetry and books".

Second, there are many female teachers. I remember the first meeting with Chinese teachers in North Primary School, and after the teachers arrived. I found that I was the only one who was a man. I have always been full of respect for female teachers, because they bear much more than men. Not only do they take up the same responsibilities as male teachers at work, but they also bear the heavy responsibility of the family. They have to do housework and take care of their husbands. Educate your children. Under so much pressure, they still have to study, study, grow and develop. How difficult it is!

thirdly, cultural values are diversified. Some pursue career success and are eager to become famous and have a family: some pursue family happiness and family happiness; Some pursue a clear conscience and do their duty wholeheartedly; Some pursue rich and colorful; Some are willing to be plain and contented. Especially female teachers, if the husband has a successful career. If the family is rich, it is often willing to be a good wife and mother. Living in a big city, the outside world is wonderful and tempting. Without strong dedication and determination, it is not easy to concentrate on teaching and sit on the bench. Values are diverse, and people have their own aspirations, which obviously brings greater challenges to the management of principals.

In view of the characteristics of urban teachers and the special situation of teachers in northern primary schools, I have adopted the "12-character policy":

First, "value leading". I always think that outlook on life and values are the decisive factors that determine the development of life. People should have spirit. Without lofty pursuits, lofty ideals and goals, life will be like a boat that has lost its direction. What kind of life is meaningful and valuable? This is one of the topics I often discuss with young teachers. Ordinary is a lifetime. Vigorous is also a lifetime; A sad face is a day, and a smiling face is also a day; Being a monk for a day is life, and teaching enthusiastically and creatively is also life. What kind of life should young people pursue? I recommend books for teachers to read. The first kind of books is to read biographies of celebrities or great men, and see whether great men become great men by destiny or by nature. As the old man Bing Xin said, "Behind every bright flower is soaked with tears and sweat of struggle." Value guidance is to guide teachers to have ideals and pursuits; Value guidance is to guide teachers to struggle and struggle; Value guidance is to guide teachers to be lonely and bear hardships. I often say that each of us should sing three songs well: First, the Internationale. There is no savior in the world, and we all depend on ourselves. Take control of your own destiny; The second is "Dare to ask where the road is", the road is at your own feet, and you have to break through a new world on your own; The third is "Love to Fight Will Win". Three points are doomed to heaven, and seven points depend on hard work. Those who love to fight will win a wonderful life.

the second is "leading by example". How can a teacher embark on the golden road of professional growth? It is particularly important to set an example. Teacher Lin Li is a young English teacher. However, she has ideals and pursuits. She regards Shen Feng, a super English teacher, as an example for her study, devotes herself to studying in classroom teaching, and won the first prize in one fell swoop by passing the national English teaching competition. Chen Jing is a young math teacher. For more than ten years, she has devoted herself to the research of "Enjoying Mathematics Classroom" and has given lectures in the whole country and the whole province for many times. In 28, she was awarded as a special math teacher in Jiangsu Province, only 36 years old. Teacher Zhu Ping is full of vigor and vitality. Under the careful training of the famous special-grade teacher Hao Yuan, she specializes in composition teaching research and has published many quality research papers. Won the first prize in the national composition teaching competition. It has been listed as a reserve target for special-grade teachers by the District Education Bureau ... There are quite a number of teachers like Lin Li, Chen Jing and Zhu Ping in North Primary School. As the principal, I often take them as an example to guide more young people to work hard and make progress. What is the role model? An example is a flag, an example is a benchmark, and an example is strength. Under the call of example, a large number of teachers are chasing after each other, forming a situation of "a hundred battles".

the third is "action holding hands". Teachers' professional growth is mainly in the field of classroom teaching. I have to listen to more than 8 classes a semester. I think it is the principal's first duty to walk into the classroom. Classroom is the main element of teachers' life. If students' life in the learning stage is composed of countless classes, most of teachers' lives are also composed of classes. Therefore. The quality of classroom directly determines the quality of teachers' life. How did I lead the reform of teachers' classroom teaching? As soon as the demonstration guide was transferred to North Primary School, I was a "new official taking up three classes": the lesson "Lin Chong bludgeoned Hong Jiaotou", which used multiple interpretations to let students read famous classics independently; In the lesson "Sweeping Passers-by of Tianyou Peak", the problem teaching method is used to let students question, screen and solve their doubts independently; In the lesson "Only Picking up Children in Many Places", the teaching method of "from literature to people" is used to make students approach Bing Xin, move towards great love and lofty. Three classes have ignited the raging fire of teaching reform in teachers' hearts. It turns out that the Chinese classroom is so wonderful. So colorful, so changeable, so charming. Heterogeneity in the same class-Heterogeneity in the same class has two levels: one is that teachers in the same grade have the same class, and the other is that teachers and I have the same class. Heterogeneity in the same class is a very effective form of collective teaching and research. On the one hand, it can concentrate everyone's wisdom on tackling key problems, and on the other hand, colleagues have the same class, which has competitive characteristics and can greatly mobilize the internal motivation and potential of each member. Hierarchical training-I mainly use hands-on counseling methods for new teachers who have worked for one to three years, from text interpretation to teaching procedures, from learning method research to blackboard writing design, from teaching guidance to question language, so that they can embark on the broad road of standardized teaching from the first day they set foot in the teaching field. For the backbone teachers who have worked for more than ten years and have certain teaching experience, I let them think independently more. One of my more words to them is: "Come to me for discussion when you have your own thinking or new ideas." I use this sentence to force them to think independently and design independently.

Our reporter: In order to optimize the structure of teachers and improve the overall level of teachers by leaps and bounds, qualified urban schools are taking advantage of their unique geographical, economic and cultural advantages and constantly introducing outstanding teachers from economically underdeveloped areas. The same is true of beijing east road Primary School in recent years, which has introduced a number of outstanding teachers and famous teachers including you. What do you think of this phenomenon of "introducing famous teachers (including famous principals)"? In school management, how do you deal with the relationship between foreign introduction and local training?

Sun Shuangjin: A very important feature of market economy is the free flow of talents. Appropriate introduction of excellent teachers conforms to the theory of "catfish effect" and is conducive to activating the inherent creativity of local teachers; It is also in line with the theory of "hybrid advantage", which is conducive to the complementarity of teachers' advantages and the optimization of their combination. Stone strikes fire, water stirs waves, and teachers with different ideas and styles can be combined to produce sparks of thought. Exhale with great creative vitality.

in dealing with the relationship between local teachers and imported teachers, I think we should avoid two things: first, avoid xenophobia, and let foreign teachers stand aside, regardless of all evaluations, and serve me for five years first. This practice hurts the self-esteem of imported teachers and is not conducive to the continued introduction of outstanding talents. The second is to avoid the psychology that foreign monks are fond of chanting scriptures, thinking that everything is good for foreign teachers, and all opportunities are taken by foreign teachers. This practice will hurt the enthusiasm and creativity of local teachers. In the practice of school management, first, we should use its strengths and optimize the combination. Local teachers are the main force in school work, the majority of the school, and of course the main force in training principals. The teachers in our school are full of love, and their sincere dedication to children deeply touched me. Take the subject of Chinese Literature as an example. Assistant to President Huang Yayun is intelligent, capable and talented, focusing on orderly teaching. Director Zhu Ping is diligent and simple. He has made unique achievements in composition teaching and research, leading teachers to carry out education and scientific research. Director Wu Jing is a talented girl in the north, quiet and beautiful, and writes a good article. Director An Yingying is beautiful and generous, full of love, and her counseling work is vivid and won the children's love. Teacher Cui Xingjun is young and beautiful, full of youthful vitality, and has achieved remarkable results in reading classic experiments; Teacher Zhu Xuemei's atmosphere is calm, and her class sense is excellent. Every gesture is full of everyone's demeanor ... There are countless local teachers with characteristics and level in North Primary School. Their dashing and beautiful demeanor appears on the public teaching platform at all levels, which has won great honor for North Primary School. Because most of the imported teachers have been assessed by many parties, they have a skill or a high comprehensive quality, and they can come in handy after introduction. For example, Zhang Qihua, a teacher of mathematics, is solid in mathematics literacy, studious and full of aura. After the introduction of North Primary School, a fresh wind has been blown into mathematics. North Primary School Mathematics has always been known for its simplicity and solidity, but now after Zhang Qihua joined us. It also adds the charm of mathematical aesthetics and mathematical culture, which is really icing on the cake. Cao Xikang and Zhao Yuanzhong, two teachers, have made great achievements in Olympic Mathematics. Their joining has made the students' ability in Olympic Mathematics advance by leaps and bounds, and they have been warmly welcomed by parents. The so-called management, in fact, is to let people do their best, optimize the combination, and play the role of 1+1 greater than 2.

Second, we should be considerate and tolerant. There is an adaptation process for foreign teachers to come to Nanjing. They are friendless, lonely and lonely. As principals, we should pay more attention to their lives and psychology, arrange their families' work and children's schooling, and arrange family-style gatherings during the Chinese New Year holidays to let them feel the care and warmth of their loved ones. However, what I talk to them about is to integrate into the new collective as soon as possible, learn from the professionalism and hardship of local teachers, and integrate into the standardized management environment of big cities. Of course, I also consciously create conditions for the introduction of teachers, so that they can show their style. For example, if I get used to it for about a month, I will definitely let the newly introduced teachers take a demonstration class so that the teachers in the North Primary School can know and appreciate them. As far as possible, we should create conditions for them to appear on the stage in the region or in the city or even on a larger stage, so that they can feel that they are real Nanjing people from the heart. Nanjing is a city of fraternity, and Nanjing people are very inclusive. "Immigrant culture" is the main component of Nanjing culture. Practice has proved that teachers in North Primary School can tolerate teachers from all corners of the country with a tolerant attitude and make them feel at home.

Our reporter: Every teacher team has some teachers with distinctive personalities and even special publicity. These "personality teachers" often become the "biggest headache" for school administrators. How do you understand the so-called "personality teacher"? As a team leader in school management practice, how do you make them get the greatest possible development, so as to determine their position in the school?

Sun Shuangjin: Every school has some teachers with personalities. I understand personality teachers like this: First, personality often represents talent and talent, and teachers with personality are generally talented. Secondly, personality teachers often have their own ideas, and are independent, but because of their age and experience, they are sometimes paranoid and difficult to listen to different opinions. Thirdly, personality teachers have certain influence and appeal among teachers because of their personal talents, and often become "leaders" of a certain group, which deserves the attention of principals. My general approach to personality teachers is:

appreciation. The primary idea of our "emotional management" is to appreciate everyone. I always thought that "I was born to be useful" and "everyone can be Yao and Shun". People need appreciation, and appreciation can turn mediocrity into talent. Appreciation can turn cowards into warriors, especially for teachers with personality. Personality teachers need to be appreciated and praised by leaders. When talking to each other, I sincerely praise the talent and ability of the personality teacher, so that he can realize that I appreciate him from the heart; I warmly praised him at the teachers' meeting when he made achievements in his work, and let him enjoy the joy of success and the joy of realizing his self-worth: when he encountered heavy burdens or arduous tasks, he was given a heavy burden and exercised at work. Trust is the greatest appreciation. Trust can stimulate the inner potential of individual teachers.

tolerance. The higher the mountain, the deeper the valley. The same is true of personality teachers, who often have obvious advantages and outstanding disadvantages. To treat such teachers is to be generous, to be "hard to get confused" and to "turn a blind eye". Open one eye to see their advantages, and sometimes close one eye to their shortcomings. Be good at tolerating their small shortcomings, as long as they are harmless and harmless, let them exist; Forgive their minor mistakes in their work. God will forgive young people for their mistakes. People grow up by making a series of small mistakes; Tolerance of their little pride. Being young and feeling good about yourself is a common problem of young people, so don't care too much. Of course, there is a limit to tolerance, and we can't indulge blindly. When we touch the bottom line of principle, we must distinguish right from wrong and never be vague.

boot. Young people are taught by their parents, and they are taught by teachers at school. After going to work, I am far away from my parents and teachers. As a principal, I should bear the responsibility of guiding the growth of young people. The headmaster's cultivation of personality teachers is by no means blindly laissez-faire, and sometimes "the drums have to be hammered again." Guided by the vision of life-encourage them to set up lofty aspirations, strive to be famous teachers, and "come for a big event and do a big event". Because personality teachers have the potential to be famous teachers. Leading the way of thinking-personality teachers are sometimes biased and stubborn because of their self-confidence, so I guide them to learn to think from multiple angles, empathize and learn dialectical thinking. Leading people in life-life is to learn to deal with relationships, to deal with the relationship between man and nature, and to deal with the relationship between good people. Deal with the relationship between good people and their hearts. Only when the three relationships are handled well can talents truly reach the realm of harmony. Personality teachers are often "short boards" in this respect, and it is even more necessary for principals to be persuasive and let them go to the ideal place where people and nature, people and people, and people and hearts are harmonious.
