Not long ago, the "Provincial Primary and Secondary School Logistics Management and Support Work Site Meeting" was held in our county. Yunxi No. 2 Middle School was one of the work sites and accepted the opinions of the Provincial Department of Education, the County Party Committee and the County Government, etc. The review by senior leaders and experts has been widely praised. Of course, compared with similar schools, there is still a certain gap between Yunxi No. 2 Middle School, but the people of Yunxi No. 2 Middle School are confident that they will work together, forge ahead, narrow the gap, and improve the quality of running a school. The school strictly follows the "Comprehensive Supervision and Evaluation Plan for the Education Level of Ordinary Primary and Secondary Schools in Hubei Province", widely publicizes, creates an atmosphere for creation, understands the requirements and standards for creation, formulates practical implementation plans, carefully checks each evaluation indicator, finds deficiencies, and accelerates The construction of software and hardware will strive to meet the requirements of municipal model schools, and take this opportunity to promote the school's work to a new level. Yunxi No. 2 Middle School once created brilliance. From the 1980s to the early 1990s, the teaching quality of No. 2 Middle School has always been far ahead in the county. It miraculously created five consecutive championships in the city's high school entrance examination. In the mid-1990s, with the development of surrounding towns and villages, this advantage became a thing of the past.

The principal of the school, Niu Xincheng, was transferred to Yunxi No. 2 Middle School as the principal in 2000. At that time, the No. 2 Middle School was mainly a junior high school with less than 200 high school students. The campus was small, the school buildings were simple, the teachers had no offices, and the teaching facilities lagged far behind those of the Other secondary schools. "Without first-class school-running conditions, how can we face the people's growing demand for education, and how can we compete in the field of education. Improving school-running conditions is a must-have for No. 2 Middle School." Principal Niu Xincheng When he took office, he proposed the idea of ??expanding the scale of high school operations and improving teaching quality on a large scale. However, funding has become the biggest obstacle restricting the scale of ordinary high schools.

You have to run a school even if you don’t have money. Use tomorrow’s money to do today’s things. With the strong support and direct guidance of the county party committee, county government, county education bureau, and Shangjin government, a high-starting, large-scale campus expansion and renovation project was fully launched, and the internal equipment required for teaching has skyrocketed.

In 2002, a 2,500-square-meter teachers’ residential building was built, the campus information network was connected, and teaching was synchronized with famous universities across the country.

In 2004, the student apartments were renovated and TVs were installed in 24 classrooms.

In 2004, the construction of the second-floor student restaurant, which can accommodate 3,000 people at the same time, started and was delivered that year.

In 2005, Shangjin Town Central Primary School was relocated as a whole. The campus area was expanded from 30,000 square meters to 55,000 square meters, and the school building capacity was increased by 6,000 square meters; the city’s first large-scale solar automatic temperature control equipment was installed in the No. 2 Middle School Settled in, a shower room that can accommodate 100 people at the same time was built.

In 2006, the 2,600-square-meter comprehensive building was completed, equipped with physics, chemistry, and biology laboratories in accordance with the national second-class laboratory standards, equipped with a 250-square-meter book supermarket, and completed campus hardening and greening projects. A 300-meter plastic track and six basketball courts will be delivered soon.

As of 2012, the school has invested more than 10 million yuan in school expansion and renovation, which has greatly improved school conditions. The scale of school operations has expanded rapidly. The number of high school students has soared from less than 200 in 2000 to More than 2,100 people in 2006.

In the past five years, five years of earth-shaking, the teachers and students of No. 2 Middle School are moving towards the goal of "improving the quality of education and teaching on a large scale and greatly increasing the college entrance examination admission rate." The "bigness" of a university does not lie in the size of its tall buildings. , not because the campus is big, but because there are "masters". This sentence has received a new interpretation in Yunxi No. 2 Middle School: The "highness" of a high school does not lie in the high level, but in the high level of students' advancement, and even more in the high quality of teachers.

Human resources are the first resource for school development. It is of great strategic significance to build an expert, mentor, compound, and innovative teacher team. For Yunxi No. 2 Middle School, such a team of teachers is the most powerful "software" support for improving the teaching brand.

Taking advantage of the situation, the school strengthened the learning and training of current teachers and vigorously implemented the "Four Major Projects".

"Leading Project". The principal took the lead in conducting open classes. First-class education requires first-class "leaders". The "leading project" is formulated to promote the further "growth" of team members and key teachers who have obtained various titles at all levels. School regulations: School team members must participate in the project group, and everyone has their own sub-topic to promote the improvement of classroom teaching through teaching and scientific research. In this regard, the principal's office, the "leading project" in the "leading project", is always ahead of the teachers in the school. Niu Xincheng, the principal of No. 2 Middle School, takes the lead in going deep into the front line of teaching. He is the first to give lectures every semester, listens to and evaluates classes every week, and often offers open classes to all teachers. After every class, he asked the teachers to give him advice and find shortcomings. One sentence he kept on his lips was: "There are no best classes, only better classes." Under his leadership, everyone in the principal's office Members also put pressure on themselves and took the lead in setting an example. Everyone has published papers, and all of them have given excellent lessons in research activities, and their apprentices have also given excellent lessons in research. The leadership team is pioneering and innovative, full of vitality, and has achieved continuous results, truly playing a "leading" demonstration role.

"Famous Teacher Navigation Project". Strengthen the construction of three-level echelons of subject leaders, teaching experts, and teaching backbones to drive the overall improvement of all teachers. Through activities such as the "Blue Project" and "Famous Teachers and Pairing", each key teacher is required to pair up with 1 to 3 teachers to provide assistance in various aspects such as lesson preparation, lectures, teaching and research, and give full play to the influence of famous teachers. effect.

Activities such as the "Education and Teaching Innovation Cases" competition have been carried out to allow teachers to pay attention to students, classrooms, and reforms, constantly summarize and sort out education and teaching experience, and improve classroom teaching levels and teaching efficiency.

"Cooperative Improvement Project". While testing the professional knowledge and business literacy of current teachers in categories, phases, and batches, fully tapping the potential of high-quality teachers and implementing collective lesson preparation for all members of each discipline is an effective way to improve the overall level of classroom teaching in the short term. All college entrance examination subjects at each grade implement centralized and unified lesson preparation before lectures: set time, place, topic, and speaker; unify ideas, unify teaching materials, and unify teaching methods. In the collective lesson preparation, the strong will lead the weak to improve the overall classroom teaching level of teachers.

"Talent introduction project". On the one hand, outstanding young and middle-aged teachers are selected from middle schools in towns and villages in the county; on the other hand, support teachers are recruited from graduates of universities and middle schools, and funded (assistant) teachers are introduced from strong schools in cities and counties.

The implementation of the four major projects has played a good role in improving the quality of teachers and improving the quality of school running.

Teacher Li Xin is the backbone teacher of the mathematics group. Mr. Li, who has more than ten years of teaching experience, is a very approachable teacher. His lessons are step-by-step and solid. His multi-angle and multi-faceted question design, multiple solutions to one question, multiple questions to one question, and varied training for one question can fully tap students' potential. He pays attention to mobilizing students' enthusiasm and initiative in learning in class, and boldly lets students explain and discuss. He has achieved excellent results, and his teaching results have always been far ahead. Students said that attending Teacher Wang's class was relaxing and harmonious, and they mastered the knowledge in class while enjoying themselves. Teacher Li uses his knowledge and experience to influence other teachers in the teaching and research group. His influence has become an asset to the mathematics teaching and research group.

We can find many such teachers in the teaching team of No. 2 Middle School. It is precisely because of such a group of hard-working, hard-working and diligent teachers, and such a group of outstanding teachers who are constantly learning, boldly reforming, and pioneering and innovative that Yunxi No. 2 Middle School has achieved great changes and brilliance. .

By the time he was in the second year of high school, he was ranked among the top 10 in the class. No. 2 Middle School is really a good school for his children to study." Zhao Daolin's father said happily. Similar to him, student Wang Youcheng's grades were very poor when he entered No. 2 Middle School, but he soon improved and was admitted to university with a score of 561 in the college entrance examination. He said with emotion, I have graduated, but I will never forget the fertile soil of No. 2 Middle School, just like the day when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, it will leave its body on the land where it grew up and lived.

In No. 2 Middle School, there are many such examples. According to statistics, the number of undergraduate students admitted to the college entrance examination exceeded the 68 mark in 2005. In 2006, 76 people were admitted to various colleges and universities. In 2005, it increased by 12%, ranking first among similar schools in the county.

The extraordinary achievements stem from the advanced and scientific school-running philosophy and the long-term and sustainable development strategic vision. Yunxi No. 2 Middle School insists on educational innovation and updates educational concepts. It requires all faculty and staff to establish a low starting point and a "melting pot" concept of talent development. It insists that "there is no student who does not want to learn well, and there is no student who cannot learn well" and "education can only fail." , there are no failed students" educational thought, establish the view that "there is no single model for success", use "promote successful education and build a main education system" as a carrier to accelerate the construction of the "Famous Teacher Project" and the "Everyone Talent Project", and successfully A new path suitable for the development of the school has been found.

The school has carried out research and practice on classroom teaching with the content of "strengthening emotional awareness, strengthening subject awareness, and strengthening innovation awareness", building an open teaching model, expanding the content and position of subject teaching, and strengthening research The guidance of independent learning enables students to develop the habit of independent learning while learning basic subject knowledge, and truly "take initiative" in learning.

Over the past few years, the school has summarized the "three reinforcements" model of classroom teaching based on the actual classroom teaching work. The basic links are: guidance - exploration - inspiration - communication.

In order to improve the effectiveness of teaching management work, the school carries out regular inspections based on regular teaching management requirements and assessment indicators, promptly discovers problems in teaching, and effectively improves teaching efficiency and teaching quality. In daily teaching management, we adhere to "one research and three searches", that is, research classroom teaching and teaching management, find typical experiences, find effective practices, and find shining examples.

Strengthen the management of the activities of the teaching and research group and lesson preparation group. The school carries out activities to strive for advanced teaching and research groups and increases rewards for advanced teaching and research groups; ensures the time and funds for teaching and research activities, regularly carries out lecture listening, evaluation, lecture and collective lesson preparation activities, and discusses problems existing in teaching together. ; Establish a "written report on activities" system for teachers after returning to school from teaching and research activities, and urge teachers to carefully sort out the information about the activities to improve the effectiveness of teaching and research activities; organize subject interest groups and carry out teaching activities in a planned way.

In the past few years, the school’s teaching has made great achievements and has been generally recognized by all walks of life. For six consecutive years, the college entrance examination admission rate has reached 98%. Six major college entrance examination subjects have ranked among the top three in the comprehensive evaluation of 16 similar high schools in the city. In 2004, the top scorer in the county's liberal arts and mathematics college entrance examination settled in No. 2 Middle School. At the same time, quality education has also achieved remarkable results. In March 2002, students from this school participated in the Olympic Biology Competition and won the second prize in the province. They were the only high schools of the same type in the city to win this honor. In 2002 and 2004, they won two consecutive county middle school student sports meets. The school's high school team won the first place in the overall team score with an absolute advantage. In the 2005 National English Proficiency Competition for Middle School Students, two students from the school participated and won the second prize. For three consecutive years, six students have participated in the physical education and art college entrance examinations, and their professional course scores have reached the level of a national first-class university. Due to the overall improvement in school running level, the school has been awarded the advanced unit of school logistics management, teaching management unit, and comprehensive management of Shiyan City by the city, county, and town. In 2005, it was awarded the People's Satisfaction School by the Supervision Office of the County People's Government. The Soviet revolutionary Dzerzhinsky once said: "Without love, there is no education." Love is the premise of education. It is precisely because of their love for education and their love for students that the teachers of No. 2 Middle School have a strong sense of professionalism and a lofty sense of mission. They can regard education as life, the school as family, and students as children, and they can think about it day and night.

In No. 2 Middle School, there is an unwritten slogan: Where there are students, there are teachers. Provide all-round, all-round, all-weather services to students. When you go to the No. 2 Middle School campus during evening self-study time, you will find many offices brightly lit. Many teachers are working overtime to prepare lessons in the lesson preparation room; the lights in the office of the school-level leaders responsible for teaching and student management are on tirelessly night after night, and the lights in many departments are turned off after students rest. The main leaders of the school dine with the students in the restaurant and stay in the school together.

In school management, the school follows the policy of people-oriented, strict school management, strict teaching, and strict academic management.

Sometimes there are conflicts among students, and teachers help mediate them in time, turning hostilities into friendship. There are fluctuations in their studies, and the classroom teachers provide timely help to help them catch up. Sometimes when students get sick, they are sent to the hospital for treatment in time.
