Notes for English Teachers 1
Recently read Annette's 50 Ways to Improve Students' Classroom Performance? Bradshaw and Todd? Witkel, the author of this book, summed up his years of teaching management experience in school, inspected the classrooms of many excellent teachers and "problem" teachers, and summed up 50 ways to improve students' classroom performance.
Gently open the page, and the title page reads: Do you want to be an excellent teacher? Want to make students get better grades? Do you want students to learn better? Want to reduce the stress in life? Or do you want to make classroom activities more efficient and lively? Do you want to better motivate students? Isn't this my work belief and life pursuit when I set foot on my job?
What I like best is this passage in this book: excellent teachers are enthusiastic, they can see the bright spots of students, and they know that they have strong enough power to touch students' hearts and influence their future. They know how to care, recognize and encourage students, so that students can make continuous progress and perform better every day.
First, about the view of students.
"Students are children and have children's nature. They can't make decisions like adults, don't do what adults think is best, and like to deal with teachers from time to time and make them angry. Many times, they can't control themselves. That's why they need us. " This book is written like this. These simple words inspired me a lot. How many times have we lost patience with our children's bad behavior again and again, and even began to doubt ourselves, worry and doubt? We forgot: children are children! Therefore, don't embarrass students, which will not only be bad for the classroom, but also hurt the relationship between teachers and students. Students will not only feel disgusted with teachers, but also lose interest in this subject. Praising students' good performance helps to establish a good relationship between teachers and students, and also helps to stimulate students' good performance. So we should criticize less and encourage more. Pygmalion effect mentioned that no matter what your students are, you think they are the best and the best in your heart, and if you put your love and heart into them, you will soon find that all the students have changed and become what you want. Therefore, in the teaching process, teachers should be good at capturing students' bright spots and giving encouragement and praise.
Second, about establishing a good relationship between teachers and students.
This book provides us with 50 ways to improve students' classroom performance, mostly from the perspective of establishing a good relationship with students. Teachers improve students' behavior through care, recognition and encouragement, and then improve students' classroom performance. For example, teachers should greet students warmly, please trust students, infect students with your enthusiasm, pay attention to students' interests and praise students in front of others. They all emphasize getting along with students. Only by properly handling this relationship can our teaching task be successfully completed. The book also emphasizes the role of positive emotions in the classroom: for example, making the classroom full of laughter; Be an optimistic teacher; Smile. Wait a minute. At the same time, in terms of mentality, we should learn to control ourselves, maintain good professional quality and set an example for students. Although students will have various situations every day, only by adjusting their mentality first, facing students happily every day and working happily can they bring unexpected gains. In fact, there are many such people among my colleagues around me, leaving their sadness to themselves and bringing happiness to others. Often such a powerful teacher can win the hearts of students. Students' classroom performance is the key factor affecting students' grades. Only when students' behaviors are improved can their grades and abilities in all aspects be improved accordingly. This book teaches us not only the methods and skills of educating students, but also an educational concept and a new relationship between teachers and students. Only the change of educational concept can bring about the change of our educational behavior.
Every student is unique. They all have their own living environment and dreams. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses, as well as abilities he has and lacks. As a teacher, we should teach students in accordance with their aptitude, know every child, pay attention to every child and be their life guide. I always feel that "being a teacher" is not a simple matter. Generally speaking, I will affect their life growth. Therefore, I always think about the weight I bear, and I will work hard!
Good teachers are here: notes for English teachers II
Unconsciously, my teaching career has been seven years. During these seven years, I have been asking a few questions. How can I be a good teacher? What are the characteristics of a good teacher? Every teacher should tell himself to be a good teacher when he sets foot in this industry. A good teacher is not "teaching" or "teaching", but "educating". One of the most striking features of education is the spiritual communication between teachers and students. The sentence that impressed me the most in The Good Teacher is Here is: "Education is not what you want to bring to your children! But what you want to bring to yourself! Don't say anything in high-sounding sentences for children. " With these questions, I walked into Wenzhou Xinhua Bookstore and bought this book "The Mentor is Here". I think it can definitely answer these questions for me.
Since graduation, the class I am teaching now is the only graduate from grade one to grade six, and I know every student in the class very well. In fact, every child has complete emotions and needs the careful approach of the teacher. However, teachers' professional work will become "professional" work in a long time, and a class full of children will gradually grow into the same face in the eyes of teachers. Inadvertently, teachers will ignore children's individual emotions and differences, and the friendly relationship between people will gradually become rigid. In her works, Ms. Hui Mei advocates "changing the truth with her heart". She believes that the first step to "change the truth with your heart" is to "see the child's emotions" and treat them gently.
In my five-year teaching career, looking back on my teaching career, I criticized students and praised them. When I severely criticized the students, I didn't feel that they were completely convinced. On the contrary, just an encouraging look, a warm action and a negligible help brought them closer to me. I think every teacher wants to be a good teacher. Let's open our hearts, walk into the children's world, listen attentively to the call of children's hearts, and let children's innocent smiles bloom like flowers in the sun.
From this book, I saw fresh and true educational stories, and also gathered a group of excellent teachers, who became excellent because of their input. Because of their efforts, they care about their children carefully and instinctively understand and respect them; Because of input, I am diligent in research and good at reflection; Because of their input, they work tirelessly and are not afraid of fatigue; Because of their dedication, they have become better. Therefore, we must devote ourselves wholeheartedly to our own teaching in order to make our teaching more excellent.
Reading Notes for English Teachers 3
I like the English novelist Jane Austen very much. She only has six novels in her life? Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, mansfield manor, Emma, northanger abbey and Persuasion.
Of all her works, I like Pride and Prejudice best. I have read the Chinese and English versions of this novel. May I? I can't help but indulge in the main characters Elizabeth and Darcy and think about their love relationship. I really admire Elizabeth? Her courage and wisdom, because she dealt with the problems of etiquette, upbringing, morality, education and marriage of the social gentry1early 9 th century England.
In Pride and Prejudice, Lydia's? Although I lack moral judgment, I know the importance of environment and upbringing to the development of young people? Character and morality; From the love between Elizabeth and Darcy and Jane and Bingley, I know that social status and wealth are not so necessary. At the beginning of the novel, it is declared: "It is a universally acknowledged truth that a rich single man must want a wife." Everyone who studies English literature knows this famous saying. In my mind, Elizabeth and Darcy are symbols of arrogance and prejudice, because their relationship started with disgust, but ended with love and marriage.
Sometimes, after reading Pride and Prejudice, I think about two things: How important is the role parents play in their children? The importance of life and education. On the one hand, I think it is better for children to live with their parents than their grandparents, because children can feel the love of their families, which makes them happy. On the other hand, parents should do everything in the right way, because they are really the first or most important teachers for their children? Early life. Children learn the most from their parents, especially in morality. Therefore, parents should behave well in all aspects of life. For example, parents are always punctual, and so will their children; Parents are always honest and friendly, and their children will have these two good qualities, and so on.
As we all know, education is very important. Well, generally speaking, the better education children receive, the better their performance in life. No matter how rich a person is, how beautiful a person is, and how talented a person is, the most important thing for him or her to get along with others or society is that he or she has a good personality and good behavior. In fact, children not only learn different knowledge, but also learn how they behave in life. Teachers should teach them knowledge and how to be a person, a good person and a useful person.
Reading is a good way to enrich me, so I will continue reading and try my best to learn from what I read.
English teachers' reading notes 4
Reading Notes of Wiseman Zhengneng English Teacher
Establish a positive attitude, abandon negative thoughts, persevere and adhere to positive energy. What difficulties will bother us? I think this is also the original intention of Professor richard wiseman to write about positive energy. The positive energy in the book is all the motivation and feelings that give people upward and hope, make people constantly pursue and make life complete and happy. This is a world-class psychological inspirational book, and it is an inspirational reader that triggered the upsurge of group buying for all after No Complaints!
The content of the book is simple, which opens a window for us to know ourselves and others again, and combines many examples to teach us how to stimulate our own potential and detonate the positive energy inside. After reading it, I was thinking again: how can we teachers get "positive energy" and bring this energy into our education and teaching. In this article, I will reflect on some cases in the book with my own understanding.
First, cultivate positive emotions and stimulate positive energy.
If you want to have real energy, you must first act like a positive energy person-William? James's principle of "reappearance". Simply put, if you want to be miserable and depressed, you only need to think about the things that make you sad, the unfair treatment you have suffered, frown and pull down your face, "pretend that you are really miserable", then your mood will be depressed immediately; If you want to be a happy person, you must first smile and make a happy expression. When you act like this, you will really become happy.
Our teacher faces the students every day. Every student is a happy angel. The happy growth of students is the happy pursuit of teachers. It is not easy to cultivate and educate children with a kind of happiness. Children's lack of literacy in any aspect is manifested as imperfect or even imperfect personality, which is the failure of education. How can a teacher who doesn't even have a smiling face cultivate students with inner happiness? Teachers' education should really start with a smile. A teacher's smile will not only make him or her happy, but more importantly, it can convey his or her happiness to students. Smiling has become an emotional input method with a very high price-love ratio, which can reduce students' psychological precautions against education and narrow the psychological distance between teachers and students. Smiling can bring spring-like warmth to students and inspire their confidence to overcome difficulties; Smiling can convey the power of love, infect them to feel love, cherish love and give love. So, please smile heartily, let your feet shine, hold your head high, talk, dance, laugh and sing happily, and do anything you like, so that you can drive positive energy and bring all beautiful situations, people and things into your life!
Second, the positive role (identity) influence, enhance positive energy
If the role leaves the restriction of law, people's behavior, habits and even psychology will be distorted rapidly, and there will be a magical transformation of "new self", and a specific change will take place between positive and negative energy of people. This book tells the story of an experiment in a prison in zimbardo. The result of the experiment far exceeded the expectation of the designer, so that the experiment had to be stopped. However, the thinking brought by the experiment is profound. Experiments show the great magic of "performance". "People's sense of identity stems from their names, costumes and looks. In the prison experiment, these things changed, so they lost their original sense of identity and began to identify with their own identity. "
From this, I thought of our student education. Some students have bad habits, inattention, uncivilized language, careless homework, no effort, unspecific homework, scrawled handwriting and incorrect education, which leads to students' low comprehensive quality and many behaviors that students should not have. The reason is that there is something wrong with their identity. Some habits are influenced by living environment, some habits are influenced by parents' educational views and attitudes, and some habits.
Habits and * * * are related to the behavior habits of peers. When the school's educational expectation conflicts with their habits, students' natural reaction is to resist positive education. At this time, teachers and schools should work hard on "identification" and give them more positive role influence. Excellent students become their role models, encourage and spur their subtle positive energy changes, let them reproduce healthy role expectations and gradually change existing bad habits.
Richard wiseman listed a large number of examples in his book, which explained the truth of "expression" for us, and broke away from our previous cognition that "personality determines fate" and "emotion determines behavior". The positive energy inspired by the principle of "expression" can make us create a brand-new self, make us more confident, energetic and secure, and completely change our work, life and behavior patterns.
As educators, we shoulder the responsibility of teaching and educating people, serving to train builders and successors of socialist modernization, and serving to train innovative talents with all-round development in morality, intelligence, physique, beauty and labor. We have a long way to go. We must pass on our positive energy to students and society, so that students can grow up healthily and society can progress harmoniously. Only in this way can we have a better tomorrow.
Notes for English Teachers 5
Although there are many attractive fragrances in this world, if there is no "book fragrance", how desolate the spiritual home will be. Recently, I read the book "Classroom Teaching Cases of New English Curriculum in Primary Schools", which touched my heart! I saw a touching love story from the classroom teaching case of the new English curriculum in primary schools. Many excellent teachers pay close attention to silent children; Described the transformation process of underachievers; Give students care and respect, and give them the motivation and source of progress. They really appreciate these children. They have mastered the art of education and the art of love.
"Everyone's heart has an energy field. If you never doubt that your student or child will become an excellent person, then he will receive your information from the energy field you believe in and turn it into his motivation. " "A Girl" was evaluated by domestic teachers as "lacking mathematical brain", but praised by American teachers as "having mathematical expertise" and being able to "solve problems gracefully and creatively". A child who is "tired of learning" becomes excellent, and let American professors "save his life" for his ability and quality. Love Postan, one of the world-class authoritative experts in brain surgery, has serious learning disabilities when studying. He said, "I used to be mentally retarded"? The classroom teaching case of the new English curriculum in primary schools shows a touching educational story. What it opens for me is the mystery of education, and it is a dedication to the love after the true interpretation of students' hearts.
First, if you really love students, you will lower your head, bend down and communicate with students, so that you can find a golden flash from each student. Long-term "elite education" makes many students become so-called "poor students" because of the biased evaluation system, and the ultimate goal of education is to improve people's quality as widely as possible. Modern educational theory also shows that human intelligence is by no means the ability to learn. "How many uses does a pencil have?" ? Countless kinds, let alone people who are the spirit of all things!
Second, if you really love students, you will not regard their pride as a scourge more than "destroying their self-esteem and self-confidence". You will not hesitate to appreciate students and always praise their advantages and strengths with a heart; I will care for children's dreams carefully, instead of being a thief who "steals many children's dreams". I will provide children with confidence and passion and let them realize their dreams with appreciation. This love will provide the strength of sunshine for the students' future struggle years and will become the "wind under the wings" for the children.
Thirdly, if you really love students, you will understand that "everyone loves beautiful children, and loving ugly children is the truth of true love". There is a capital word "human" on the banner of quality education, which requires teachers to be kind to every life, especially those children who have been hurt. The case of classroom teaching of the new English curriculum in primary schools has planted a belief for teachers-everyone is a genius, there are no students who can't teach well, only teachers who can't teach well.
Fourth, if you really love students, you will clearly admit their differences and criticize their shortcomings, but what is firmly engraved in your heart is "respect" and "tolerance". Therefore, with the story of Le Bofen's Little Red Flower, Liang Qingying's love painting, and the instructor who replaced "inactive" with "quiet" in his comments, he carefully cared for the children's self-esteem. The classroom teaching cases of the new English curriculum in primary schools have brought inspiration to every teacher and left the deepest touch on the students like the spring breeze.
The new curriculum standard puts forward new requirements for teachers, including the renewal of knowledge structure and educational methods, and the adjustment of students' teaching objectives and evaluation methods. The core of the new curriculum standard is that education respects the concepts of "student-centered" and "people-oriented". The case of classroom teaching of new English curriculum in primary schools, that is, this book, provides teachers with the most direct, profound and equal opportunity to care for students. Perhaps, some teachers are still talking about their "majesty". Perhaps, a teacher has just finished another round of critical bombing. I think they will be shocked by these words. Here are the experiences and expert comments of excellent teachers "going deep into the teacher's heart". It is these words that will make every "tireless teacher" have to reflect, ponder and explore, because these are all calls from the real heart.
