Let the School Rejuvenate Like a Garden —— Investigation on the Revitalization of Garden School in Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone

2019 65438+1on the morning of October 8th, I got up early and was going to the conference hall on the first floor to listen to the basic stereotyped writing education and teaching lecture, but I didn't know to continue my visit until the class organizer shouted "The car has stopped at the hotel gate". In less than a few minutes, I arrived at Zhenxing Garden School in Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. The school started construction in 20 15 and officially enrolled students in 20 17. The high planning and design and the new layout and construction are rare among all the schools I have visited. Revitalizing schools such as gardens, where flowers and health are pregnant, and revitalizing Yangzhou with gardens, this is my initial impression of revitalizing garden schools.

Under the leadership of the school teacher, we visited the 24-hour school and community library, the swimming pool with high-end design, and various student practice function rooms (pottery workshop, woodworking workshop, robot training room, artificial intelligence laboratory, etc.). ), and watched the school profile feature film in the conference center. The headmaster gave us a detailed introduction to the course, philosophy, characteristic courses and team building. , let us feel that he and his teachers "build a brand school with characteristics and run a satisfactory education for the people" in just two years. His speech was divided into four parts.

According to the principal, Zhenxing Garden School is a public school with nine-year compulsory education, with 29 classes, 68 teachers and 65,438 students in 8th grade. The school time is less than two years, and it is only three semesters at most. Why can you become a rising star of Yangzhou's educational purpose? Why did you attract colleagues from inside and outside the province to see it? As the founder of the school, it's hard for me to say clearly. Perhaps this is the charm of education. Today's exchange is not a report by experts and scholars, but a description of our school-running philosophy and specific practices. Please criticize and correct me.

First, lead the professional growth of teachers and take the first step in running a school

The teachers of Zhenxing Garden School are all recruited through the Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, and most of them are fresh graduates. The average age of school teachers is only 26 years old. The advantages and disadvantages of younger teachers are * * *. The advantage is that you are young, energetic, self-motivated and unconventional; The disadvantage is that there is no theoretical knowledge learned in the school and the actual situation can not be effectively linked. What shall we do? As the principal, my first thought is to give these children encouragement, pressure, planning and popularity.

The first story: a letter.

On the first day of the new teacher's arrival, every teacher received a letter from the principal: "If you have no determination, your people's teachers must firmly believe in education and love, and firmly believe that every child will have a bright future; Qualified people's teachers should be fair and just and treat every student equally; Qualified people's teachers should follow the rules, make good use of incentives and be tireless. Teachers who practice benevolence should not only have the responsibility of teaching thousands of miles and educating the world, but also have the courage to innovate and explore constantly: Comenius advocates universal wisdom, Pestalozzi puts forward elements, Li Jilin innovates situational teaching, and Wei Shusheng reinterprets class management ... Without innovation, there would be no education from generation to generation, no teacher's elegant demeanor and no human education. Only when teachers study tirelessly can they study diligently.

Because the headmaster speaks like a flowing stream, I really can't keep up with his language in typing. Fortunately, I recorded his 40-minute introduction with a voice recorder that I had already prepared, and I will slowly sort it out and share it when I get back.

Revitalizing Garden School is a key livelihood project in Yangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. The educational resources of the school and the development zone follow up synchronously. In the mode of cooperative education, we should pair up with high-quality public schools directly under the municipal government to realize the sharing of teaching resources for teacher training, teaching and research activities, actively explore new modes of running international schools by leveraging the resources of prestigious schools, enhance the brand influence of schools, and form the characteristics of small class, personalization and internationalization.

The school strives to create the characteristics of bilingual teaching, adopts bilingual teaching in English, mathematics, music, art and other disciplines, and carries out "immersion" English education on the premise of not lowering the national statutory curriculum standards and reducing the teaching content and class hours of the national statutory curriculum, so that students can realize the mutual integration of the two languages. All-English teaching classroom on the high platform

The school has complete function rooms in all venues, including indoor basketball hall, swimming pool, library, recording and broadcasting classroom, campus TV station, laboratory and function rooms of various disciplines. Beautiful campus and complete teaching facilities provide a good environment for students to study better. Standardized playground!

The school's teaching facilities are equipped according to EU standards, with a group of famous teachers from provinces and cities, experienced backbone teachers and energetic young teachers, forming a team of teachers with reasonable structure, excellent business and dedication. High-quality educational resources have improved the efficiency of running schools and made rapid progress in educational achievements.
