The re-emergence of the No.1 Middle School in Shuocheng District

Serious thinking on improving the control ability of leading bodies

The key to the problem of the school lies in the principal, who is a strong school and a weak school. In the past, school leaders were preoccupied with teaching, but as a result, this simple and focused teaching method didn't work, and the more focused it was, the narrower it became. In the end, students and parents complained. At that time, there was a jingle circulating in the society: "Children should study and leave their homes for Xinzhou. Parents took the child's hand and sent it to Yangfangkou. " If the family is well-off, send the students to Xinzhou and Taiyuan, as well as Huairen and Datong in the north; If the family is in difficulty, please ask the district leaders to change the face of the school. The voice of the parents is: "Grab the school! Manage the school! This is what we look forward to day and night. " The new leadership of Shuocheng District accepted the opinions of the masses, held a heated discussion at the Standing Committee, and finally integrated everyone's opinions and the voices of the masses. After reporting to the city for approval, it was decided to openly recruit the principals of Shuocheng No.1 Middle School throughout the city.

Subsequently, the Organization Department of Shuocheng District Committee posted a public notice to openly recruit the principal of No.1 Middle School in Shuocheng District for the whole city. This move won the hearts of the people. In a few days, outstanding talents from cities and counties signed up one after another. Finally, after the speech defense and democratic evaluation, according to the comprehensive score, it is determined that Wang Shang, the general party branch secretary of the former No.1 Middle School, is the principal, and Li Zi, Jiang Gong, Qi, the former No.2 Middle School, are the vice principals.

After the formation of the new team, three fires were set against the problems existing in the school.

The first fire is "self-pressure". On the third day of taking office, all school-level leaders and middle-level cadres take turns to be on duty every day, patrol inspection and on-site service, and all faculty members can supervise. The second fire is "rectifying school discipline". The school issued a strict policy. From the date of the announcement, all teachers who do not return to school within ten days will be transferred from the school, and the school will no longer bear any responsibility. At the same time, we will implement the system of class attendance and mid-course inspection, revise and introduce the detailed rules for quantitative assessment of teaching routine management, implement the system of one-day inspection of teaching routine and questionnaire survey of teachers' work students, and increase the intensity of assessment, rewards and punishments.

At the beginning of taking office, students were lax in discipline, lax in study, going out at will, speeding on campus and going their own way. Some even call themselves "flagpoles", bullying classmates and scolding teachers, and street hooligans also patronize from time to time to find trouble. According to the strong reaction of teachers and students, Comrade Wang Shang held a school affairs meeting, made a decisive decision, optimized and enriched the political and religious security personnel, hired doormen and building managers who dared to be good at management, issued detailed rules for the punishment of students who violated discipline, and implemented a quantitative assessment plan for the selection and appointment of class teachers. The class teacher takes turns to go to work at night, and the school leaders conduct daily inspections, with clear rewards and punishments, and will never tolerate them. In 2005, when the environment inside and outside the school was not optimistic, the college entrance examination was a success. The total number of students reached 380, 40 more than in 2004. A student won the first place in science in the city this year, and a student was admitted to Peking University. In 2006 and 2007, the scores of college entrance examination achieved historic breakthroughs, reaching 602 and 765 respectively, and the number of key institutions also exceeded 200 and 300 respectively. In 2007, Rong Yuan, a student, was admitted to the civil engineering major in Tsinghua University with the eighth place in science and the first place in the city. These achievements caused a great sensation in Shuozhou city.

Putting people first and improving students' quality in an all-round way

It is also a failure of education to train a student who is wicked and faithless, even if more students are sent to Tsinghua, Peking University. In view of this idea, Shuocheng No.1 Middle School changed from focusing on exam-oriented education to focusing on quality education, and focused on intellectual education teaching on the basis of standardized management and moral education for students. In the work of moral education, they adopt flexible and diverse methods to make moral education penetrate into the soul and noble sentiments of every student.

The first is to hold an unforgettable event. A person has to go through many things in his life, but some things will always be kept in mind, and some things will be forgotten with the changes of the times. To this end, they caught the "three big" activities with characteristics. First, a grand flag-raising ceremony was held. The second is to hold a solemn oath ceremony. The opening ceremony is held every semester and the graduation ceremony is held every year. At the ceremony, leaders, teachers and students should show their determination and encourage each other, and then * * * will supervise the fulfillment of the oath. The third is to hold a grand commendation meeting for outstanding teachers and teachers' morality.

The second is to carry out the moral education of the Chinese nation. There are story selection, theme class meeting, speech contest, essay appraisal, calligraphy and painting exhibition, epigram display, gallery painting, model selection, love practice ... colorful and creative.

The third is to carry out educational activities with the theme of "caring for yourself, caring for others and caring for life". Organize teachers and students to carry out caring activities such as helping the poor, sympathizing with the widowed and donating to the victims.

The fourth is to cultivate talents in many ways. In the past three years, the school has held campus cultural festivals, science and technology festivals and sports competitions, and carried out multi-level and multi-type activities such as speeches, essay competitions, poetry recitation, English (English) oral composition competitions and various subject knowledge competitions. Insist on setting up school-based elective courses and holding "Campus Lecture Rooms" to guide students to carry out research-based learning. The whole school compiled and distributed three essays on research study of Xiao He's fledgling. There are also 25 student organizations such as Sunshine Love Club, Calligraphy and Painting Club and Little Reporter Station, music art training class 1, and five sports training teams such as basketball, football and aerobics. In this way, students' interests and specialties have been fully explored and developed. Shuozhou will show a modern middle school.

With the continuous development of education and the continuous improvement of Shuocheng No.1 Middle School, Shuocheng No.1 Middle School regained its popularity and won the attention and strong support of the whole society. How to further develop No.1 Middle School into a veritable model high school in the whole city and even in the whole province has become a major issue for the Shuocheng District Party Committee and the district government to give priority to the development of education based on "people's satisfactory education". At present, No.1 Middle School in Shuocheng District attaches importance to teaching and learning, and the school spirit, teaching style and study style continue to improve, showing a strong development momentum. However, Shuocheng No.1 Middle School is located in the downtown area, close to Shuyang Street and Jinlong Business Circle, and the surrounding environment is noisy, which affects the normal teaching order. Especially after school, the traffic at the school gate is seriously congested, and the passage of Shuyang Street has become a problem. Because there is no room for development around the school, more importantly, with the improvement of the quality of running a school, the class capacity is getting bigger and bigger, and the student activity space is narrow, so various educational activities cannot be carried out. Therefore, the relocation of No.1 Middle School in Shuocheng District is imminent and imperative. The district government of Shuocheng District Committee held a forum for old comrades and educators, issued consultation cards, invited experts and scholars to demonstrate, and issued questionnaires to solicit opinions from many parties, repeatedly demonstrated and studied many times. Finally, the joint meeting of the party and government made a decision on the overall relocation of the first middle school in Shuocheng District. This is a very strategic and forward-looking move. A modern middle school with an area of 308 mu, designed and financed by Tongji University, has officially started construction. By then, a 24-track modern high school with complete functions, brand-new equipment and larger scale will stand tall in Shuozhou.
