(A) the requirements of curriculum reform
In 2005, Jiangsu began to implement the new curriculum reform, which brought new ideas to education. One of the core ideas is to pay attention to students' development as a "whole person" and guide students to establish "autonomous learning, cooperative learning and inquiry learning" learning methods. The change of students' learning style inevitably requires teachers to change their teaching methods first. However, from the traditional teaching practice of middle school education, many teachers' understanding of the new curriculum concept is inaccurate, insufficient and not in-depth, and there is obvious inertia and inadaptability to the curriculum reform, which seriously restricts the implementation and in-depth implementation of the new curriculum concept. Therefore, under the background of the new curriculum reform, how to build a team of teachers with excellent professional skills and excellent work style, and establish the corresponding teacher training, evaluation and incentive mechanism, became the knowledge of the leading group of our school at that time to strengthen the construction of teachers, further play the leading role of teachers in teaching, promote the new curriculum reform, comprehensively improve students' literacy and teaching quality, and actively promote the continuous deepening of quality education and the serious implementation of new curriculum standards.
(2) At that time, the teaching staff in our school could not fully meet the needs of society.
At that time, the situation of teachers in our school was as follows: "There were 5 classes in our school, with 32 students 1 9, and 2 4 6 faculty members, including 5 special teachers, who enjoyed the special allowance of the State Council 1 person, won the Soviet Mathematics Education Award1person, and 2 outstanding educators and model workers in the national education system. Young and middle-aged experts with outstanding contributions in Jiangsu Province, including 2 famous teachers in Jiangsu Province, 5 famous teachers in Taizhou City, 5 academic leaders in Taizhou City, 96 teachers in senior middle schools, 9 teachers with postgraduate qualifications, doctoral students 1 name, and 4 foreign teachers are employed all the year round. " It should be said that at that time, although our school continued to strengthen the construction of teaching staff through introduction, recruitment and training, there were still some problems: first, the teaching basic skills of a few young teachers needed to be improved urgently; Second, there are few famous teachers and backbone teachers, and most of the super teachers are not in the front line of teaching; Third, the quality of the class teacher team needs to be further strengthened. Moreover, with the continuous expansion of school scale, the original excellent teacher resources have been "diluted". The problem of teachers has become a bottleneck restricting the sustainable development of schools.
Based on the above two points, the project host, President Jiang Jianhua, declared the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" provincial key project "Research on the Construction of Teachers and Incentive Mechanism under the Background of New Curriculum" in line with the purpose of research-oriented schools.
Second, the research objectives
1. According to the requirements of the new curriculum reform, explore how to improve the overall quality and level of teachers and find a set of teacher training and development mechanism suitable for the new curriculum.
2. Through the research of this topic, we will create an effective incentive mechanism, so as to better promote the growth of teachers, improve their overall quality, mobilize their enthusiasm to the maximum extent, and form a more flexible operating mechanism for the construction of teachers in the new situation, such as teachers being able to enter and leave, being able to go up and down, rewarding the superior and punishing the inferior.
3. Research, discuss and summarize the strategies, incentive measures and assessment schemes related to the construction of teachers' team, so as to accumulate experience for the sustainable development of the construction of teachers' team.
4. Strive to build a team of high-quality teachers to meet the requirements of the new curriculum reform.
Three. General situation of the overall implementation of the research.
The topic was officially opened in May 2006, and all members of the research group participated in the formulation of the research implementation plan, which was divided into 2 1 sub-topics for research. Each sub-research group has a clear division of labor and has made special sub-research plans respectively. Each sub-research group has a clear person in charge, who is responsible for daily communication and discussion activities. The research group held regular meetings to discuss various problems and research progress encountered in the research process, and all members discussed with each other and made joint efforts to ensure the normal and orderly development of the research work. Because the general research group has always grasped the research direction and objectives and adopted the research methods of comprehensive regulation and key research, all special sub-research groups have completed the expected research tasks and achieved phased research results, and then the general research group will integrate and summarize them.
1. Topic selection stage: From September 2005 to September 2006, select a topic, hire experts to guide the overall planning, collect, sort out and analyze data, form a written report on the overall research plan of the topic, and start the topic in May 2006. The experts who participated in the demonstration included Yang Jiujun, director of the provincial teaching and research section, Hong, a special Chinese teacher, and Ren, a special Chinese teacher. Experts fully affirmed the great significance of this research, and at the same time put forward good guiding opinions on the research process and methods.
2. Investigation and research stage: from June 5438+00, 2006 to February 2008, molecular research was conducted. Through questionnaire survey, discussion, interview, investigation and other ways to collect information, understand the development of teachers in all aspects, put forward research measures to adapt to the new curriculum background and incentive mechanism for teachers in the transition period, and put them into practice. After a period of time, ask for opinions through questionnaires or interviews, and summarize the teachers. On June 5438+1October 2 1 day, 2008, the mid-term summary meeting of the project research was held. The host, President Jiang Jianhua, summarized the previous project research work, saying that the policies introduced by the school in recent years have a great relationship with the project, and encouraged teachers to move forward to a higher level through the project carrier. Hope: ① Cherish the good opportunity of our school at present, make clear the goal of struggle, and realize our own development plan while realizing the great leap of school development; (2) I hope that teachers can continue to study the new curriculum reform, strengthen the cultivation of the ability to implement the new curriculum, create their own teaching style, and strive to be distinctive and bright. ③ We are required to pay more attention, reflect and summarize, and hope that the research efforts of each sub-topic can have more achievements.
3. Results summary stage: From June 65438+ 10 to February 65438+2, 2009, each sub-project and the general research group held several seminars to summarize all kinds of research results, summarize reflections, sort out theories and promote them in practice, write concluding reports and end the project.
Fourthly, the research method of the subject.
According to the overall goal of the research and the implementation plan of the sub-projects, the research group formulated the corresponding technical route and flexibly selected the specific research methods.
1. Literature research method. Through extensive collection and study of important documents about the new curriculum concept and teachers' construction and motivation, it can be used as a reference for studying this topic. This can not only save manpower and financial resources for research, but also avoid unnecessary repeated research.
2. Questionnaire survey method. Through questionnaire survey, the feedback information and suggestions of teacher construction and incentive mechanism under the background of implementing the new curriculum are collected, and the actual effect of teacher construction and incentive mechanism under the background of the new curriculum is grasped in time.
3. Action research method. In the teaching practice of the new curriculum reform, teachers should be guided to conduct action research, make a reflective diagnosis of teaching behavior, study the ways, methods and measures to build new teachers, and explore, practice, revise and improve according to the specific problems encountered in the research.
4. Case study method. Analyze the growth experience of typical and representative backbone teachers, establish case materials and follow up.
5. Interview and research methods. The members of the research group interviewed and investigated the leaders and departments of some brother schools at home and abroad in order to broaden their thinking and learn from the advanced practices of others.
6. Experience summary method. In view of the successful experiences, lessons and existing problems found in the research, it is necessary to refine and summarize them in time.
Research results of verb (abbreviation of verb) project
Through the research of this topic, our school has established a set of perfect teaching team construction and incentive mechanism to meet the requirements of the new curriculum, which has improved the overall quality of the teaching team and basically reached the basic requirements of five-star key high schools in the province. Write more than 0/00 related papers, including more than 20 award-winning papers, and at the same time formulate a series of incentive evaluation schemes and compile them into books; Reasonable suggestions to the government and education authorities, such as "teachers' university hall", "setting up famous teachers' studios" and "regularly selecting city, district and school-level backbones", have been adopted.
The specific main achievements (some of which were specially promoted by Modern Education News on June 5438+1October 23, 2009) are summarized as follows:
(A) Under the background of the new curriculum, the management mode of teachers has changed.
1. Transition from control management to education management
The traditional school management is mainly manifested in the control management, which is mainly reflected in the measures with compulsory behavior tendency such as controlling, supervising, guiding and ordering teachers' behavior, which restricts teachers' personality and creativity to a certain extent.
Education management refers to the management that is conducive to the healthy and effective development of teachers and school administrators, and it is people-oriented management.
Make every effort to build a learning team that is good at learning, thinking, understanding and using, so that teachers can grow up in the new curriculum reform and improve themselves in self-education.
② Establish a benchmarking mechanism to give full play to the exemplary role of famous educators and excellent teachers at all levels inside and outside the school. We also launched the "School-level Master" project. Through the selection of school-level academic leaders, teaching experts and teaching rookies, the backbone teachers around us will become the benchmark for ordinary teachers.
③ Stimulate teachers' potential with goal motivation. The school requires every teacher to fill in the Personal Plan for Teachers' Professional Development and Growth, so that teachers can motivate themselves to grow.
④ Establish a comprehensive and multi-channel guarantee mechanism for teachers' learning, training and reward. Give teachers a "green light" to participate in study tours and training, academic exchanges, in-service master's and doctoral studies in the province and at home and abroad, and provide opportunities, financial subsidies or academic allowances as much as possible; Encourage teachers to actively declare national, provincial and municipal education planning research projects or sub-projects; Focus on building a "learning school" platform and establish a "teacher development school" in cooperation with the China Education Association.
2. From the formalization of teacher training to the process management of teacher training
(1) Establish the files of teachers' professional development, and conduct follow-up research on teachers' professional development.
② Set up a learning organization-"Four Ones" study group and a teachers' forum, so that teachers can learn in reading, reflect in practice and grow up in thinking.
③ School-based training at different levels. For new teachers who have just joined the work, they are mainly trained in teaching routine and class teacher's work. Relying on the "Blue Plan", the old and the new are paired, and the old and the new are brought. By listening to the first class and having different classes in the same class, young people can get on the road quickly. For developing teachers, guide them to strengthen theoretical study, study teaching problems, and promote them to form certain teaching characteristics. For mature teaching backbones, it is necessary to build a platform to comprehensively improve their teaching and scientific research level and lead them to gradually grow into scholar-type teachers.
The process management of teacher training is the direct embodiment of the management concept of "meticulous, meticulous and exquisite" in our school.
3. From a single teacher evaluation to a developed and coordinated evaluation.
Teacher evaluation should help to better promote teachers' professional development, stimulate teachers' innovative consciousness and fully reflect teachers' status as masters in school work.
① In the purpose of evaluation, we should change from static evaluation, managerial evaluation and reward-punishment evaluation facing the past to developmental evaluation facing the future, so as to promote the improvement of teachers' professional quality.
② On the content and standard of evaluation, teachers' teaching research, teaching reform experiment, creative teaching, school-based curriculum development and teacher-student relationship should be included in the evaluation scope.
③ In the organization and implementation of evaluation, the single evaluation of teachers by schools in the past has changed into a three-dimensional evaluation combining student evaluation, colleague evaluation, parent evaluation and leadership evaluation.
The research group has successively studied and promulgated the Implementation Plan of Post Allowance for Teachers and Staff in Taizhou Middle School in Jiangsu Province, the Annual Assessment Plan for Teachers and Staff in Taizhou Middle School in Jiangsu Province, and the Evaluation Provisions and Incentive Measures for Teacher Training Projects in Taizhou Middle School in Jiangsu Province.
4. From emphasizing the division of labor among teachers to the unity and cooperation among teachers.
The school focuses on strengthening the construction and management of grade groups and lesson preparation groups. According to the requirements of quality education, the grade group encourages the cooperation of various disciplines to form complementarity. The preparation groups of all subjects carry out activities under the coordination of grade groups, so as to be institutionalized and standardized and make progress in cooperation.
5. From institutional constraints, rewards and punishments to humanistic care.
Today, with the implementation of the new curriculum, schools should pay attention to the survival and development of teachers and their physical and mental health, and pay attention to the "teacher happiness index", so as to truly form a good fashion for people's teachers to teach with peace of mind and enjoy it.
Our school attaches great importance to humanistic care in teacher management and advocates "three needs and three essentials", namely "work and family, students and children, quality and health". The school plans to conduct a free physical examination for all teachers every year; Invite occupational disease prevention experts and psychological counseling experts to give lectures on "How to prevent and reduce teachers' occupational diseases" and "How to adjust teachers' psychological pressure"; School stadiums and gymnasiums are open to faculty for two hours every night, and are managed by special personnel; Every major festival, teacher's birthday, unexpected situation, etc. We will express our condolences and strive to do more practical things for the faculty; And humanized management measures, such as distributing study books to teachers, organizing and watching large-scale cultural performances, and creating a comfortable, elegant and positive working environment, have played a very good role in motivating teachers.
The development of our school in recent years has proved that under the guidance of the "people-oriented" management thought of faculty and staff and the above management strategies, teachers have really developed, and school management is developing in a more scientific, democratic and harmonious direction.
(B) to establish a team of class teachers that meet the requirements of the new curriculum.
In order to more effectively motivate and ensure the enthusiasm and effectiveness of the work of the school head teacher, we have taken the following series of measures:
1. Clarify the work orientation of the class teacher in the new period.
① Democratization of class management. The head teacher adopts democratic management, gives full play to the students' main role and cultivates their self-management consciousness.
② Class activities pay attention to creativity. In the process of implementing the new curriculum, classroom teaching pays more attention to group cooperative learning, inquiry learning and social experiential learning. Class teachers creatively carry out class activities according to their own advantages and students' characteristics, and build a unique class group.
2. Establish an incentive mechanism for class teacher training in the new period.
(1) with the old with new, old and new * * *. The school carries out "mentoring" activities, implements the appointment system of class teacher qualification, and requires young teachers who have just joined the work to be deputy class teachers for one year or more. Give full play to the "mentoring" role of the old class teachers, give full play to the initiative of the young class teachers, and create a good atmosphere for Xian Yi, young and old. After a period of training, select excellent sub-class teachers as class teachers, point out the direction for them and carry heavy burdens. The appointment system shall be implemented for the post of class teacher, and those who fail to pass the examination shall be dismissed.
② Experience exchange and model demonstration. The school holds an exchange meeting on the work experience of class teachers once a year, and invites class teachers with outstanding achievements and characteristics to introduce their experiences. At the same time, organize class teachers to study advanced education theory regularly and irregularly, carry out class management salons, and carry out "Lecturer's Morality, Dedication, Work and Achievement" competitions.
③ Establish a quantitative assessment system for work. The school evaluates the head teacher according to "virtue, ability, diligence and achievement" and improves the annual selection system. According to the Detailed Rules for the Assessment of Primary and Secondary School Teachers and the Detailed Rules for the Assessment of Class Teachers, the school takes various methods such as investigation, questionnaire and report to listen to the opinions of teachers, students and parents, conduct various assessments and quantify the points. The assessment results are linked to the annual advanced selection, recognition and reward, promotion and promotion.
3. Build a training platform to highlight the school-based characteristics of the class teacher team.
(1) Set up special classes to reflect the concept of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. In recent years, our school has set up classes such as "Hongzhi Class", IELTS Characteristic Class, Korean Students Class and Soviet Education International Class, which have broadened the international vision of the head teacher and trained and trained a team of teachers with modern educational concepts and skills. In order to adapt to the trend of internationalization of education and expand diversified channels for running schools, our school has established friendly relations with Tragan Middle School in Australia and Essex Middle School in England.
② Create cultural brands and improve the soft power of educating people. Our school adapts to the development of the times, makes full use of rich historical and cultural resources, and constantly strengthens the construction of campus culture. Focus on the annual science and technology festival, culture and art festival, colorful summer vacation and other high-quality projects. Every semester, the school formulates a moral education work plan, with patriotism and civilized etiquette education as the main line and "eight honors and eight disgraces" and citizens' basic moral norms as the core, to help them establish a correct outlook on life and values and further enhance their ability to distinguish right from wrong. Insist on cultivating and influencing students with traditional virtues, humanistic feelings and scientific spirit.
(3) to carry out a variety of extracurricular activities, entertaining. The school pays attention to proceeding from reality, aiming at the characteristics of students in the new historical period, and constantly broadens educational channels and enriches educational content by carrying out colorful educational activities. In order to strengthen the education of revolutionary tradition, ideals and beliefs and patriotism, the school takes the memorial hall of the birthplace of the navy, the memorial hall of Huangqiao Campaign and the Taizhou Martyrs Cemetery as off-campus moral education bases to carry out a series of activities.
(C) School-based teaching and research has promoted teachers' professional growth.
1. Build a learning platform to promote teachers' continuous learning.
① Increase the collection of educational books in the library.
Subscribe to a large number of professional academic journals and magazines for the staff reading room.
③ Choose targeted and practical books and articles regularly and irregularly to subscribe or distribute to all teachers.
④ Establish an electronic reading room.
⑤ Training all teachers in various modern educational technologies in stages.
⑥ Actively improve continuing education and training. Vigorously support teachers in-service graduate studies, participate in domestic and foreign study tours and training, academic exchanges, etc.
2. Take various forms to improve the overall quality of teachers.
① Strengthen theoretical training and promote the change of ideas. Pay attention to transmitting new knowledge, new ideas, new achievements and new information to teachers, and promote the change of teachers' educational and teaching concepts. Every summer vacation, all teachers in the school are trained in the professional development of teachers.
(2) Carry out teaching and research activities to realize resource sharing. The school regards collective teaching and research activities as the key work to strengthen school-based teaching and research. Regularly carry out exchanges, summaries and reflections with the teaching and research group as the unit, evaluate classes, and carry out teaching seminars focusing on thinking and discussion.
③ Do a good job in summarizing and popularizing teaching and scientific research achievements. In order to implement the classroom teaching concept of "respect+wisdom+effectiveness", sum up the experience of teacher education and teaching reform in our school, improve the teaching art and promote the professional development of teachers, all teachers are required to participate in educational research, promote quality education and new curriculum reform, and actively encourage teachers to write papers through measures such as "double pay system". In recent years, more than 250 papers have been awarded or published in our school every year.
(4) Strengthen the research on topics and promote teachers' professional development. The school adheres to the concept of promoting teaching through scientific research, puts scientific research in the leading position of school work, promotes the change of teachers' teaching concepts and methods, and further promotes the new curriculum reform. In the past three years, there have been six national-level projects (sub-projects) and eight provincial-level projects. Among them, the national key project "Comparative Study on Chinese and Foreign Mother Tongue Textbooks" sponsored by the Ministry of Education and presided over by Mr. Hong, a well-known special Chinese teacher and an expert enjoying special allowance from the State Council, has attracted 130 famous experts at home and abroad to participate in the research and achieved important results. At the beginning of 2008, a press conference was held in the Great Hall of the People. Vice President Xu Jialu was present to congratulate and give high praise. At present, the junior middle school Chinese experimental textbook edited by Mr. Hong has distributed more than 65.438+300 million copies in 26 provinces and cities across the country. From June 5, 2008 to 10, Hong China's seminar on educational thoughts was held in Thailand.
⑤ Strengthen teaching communication and master the latest trends. Every year, the school sends teachers to participate in various learning exchange activities organized by provinces, municipalities, districts and brother schools, and urges outstanding teachers to participate in training courses for key teachers in provinces, municipalities and districts, so that they can bring the best education and teaching experience and the most valuable education and teaching information back to the school and into the classroom. In recent years, our school has successfully held the first seminar for special-grade mathematics teachers in Jiangsu Province, the winter camp for mathematics in senior high schools in Jiangsu Province, the seminar for curriculum reform in physical chemistry in senior high schools in Jiangsu Province, the seminar for new curriculum reform in Taizhou City, and the open teaching activities in the whole province.
⑤ Play the role of evaluation to promote the growth of teachers. Every semester, teachers' classroom teaching demonstration activities are carried out, teachers are organized to prepare before class and discuss after class, and teachers' self-evaluation is emphasized, so that teachers can grow in reflection and practice.
(D) Building a key high school teacher education and training model with school-based characteristics.
1. I think, therefore, I am new-a self-reflection model of teachers' professional development.
Every teacher, whether starting a class in a group or being elected as an in-school class, must submit his teaching reflection to the Academic Affairs Office within the next week of starting the class, and the school organizes an appraisal of the teaching reflection written by the teacher every semester. In this way, every teacher can reflect in practice, practice in reflection, spiral up, and grow up with the new curriculum and students.
2. Blue Plan-Peer Model of Teachers' Professional Development
The school has made a detailed training plan for young teachers. In addition to regular pre-service training for new teachers and professional assessment for young teachers, the "Blue Project" is also implemented seriously to enable young teachers to grow up as soon as possible under the guidance of key teachers. "Best Tutor" is awarded every academic year according to the growth of young teachers.
3. Teacher Development School-an expert-led model for teachers' professional development
In May 2007, under the guidance of the strategic idea of "seizing the commanding heights and building a new Thailand", the school established Taizhou Experimental School and China Education Association Teacher Development School in cooperation with China Education Association. Relying on the advantages of talents, management, brand and scientific research of China Education Association, the College has provided all-round, multi-level and high-quality education services for the school. Over the past two years, the cooperative project has run well and become an important growth point to promote the connotation development and sustainable development of the school. Teachers' development school construction activities take various forms, including high-level expert lecture reports, teaching and research guidance, or different lectures and visits with experts every month. In the activity, schools, teachers and China Education Association play different roles, among which teachers are undoubtedly the main body of "development", while schools are the carrier and "platform", and the role played by society is mainly the leader. In the past two years, the activities that are particularly popular with teachers are the "research class" teaching guidance of nine subjects and the "different teaching in the same class" activity. It effectively promotes teachers' ability to implement the new curriculum.
4. "Four whatevers" study group-the sustainable dynamic model of teachers' professional development
On June 5438+ 10, 2007, the school established a learning organization-"four whatevers" learning group. The so-called "four times" means reading a little "casual books" every day (books that broaden knowledge and improve theoretical level), writing a little reading notes every week, writing an article every month, and publishing 1-2 high-quality papers every year. All teachers are required to create a scholarly campus, draw fresh theories and information, and guide practice with ideas; Sit down and write a composition, teaching design, educational narrative, etc. Take time out to think, find out the teaching problems around you, and grow up in reflection.
5. Effective teaching forum-the exchange and cooperation mode of teachers' professional development.
The "effective teaching forum" is a form for teachers to discuss teaching issues of common concern through the forum. Some teachers make major speeches and put forward their own views and feelings on the issues for other teachers to discuss. The form of each forum depends on the content of the forum, teachers' needs, environmental atmosphere and so on. , using network communication, teaching and research salon, speech contest, experience summary meeting, special seminar, etc. We also regularly set up "Young Teachers Salon" to carry out various forms of exchange activities, so that young teachers can spontaneously organize into various forms of "study groups" to learn from each other and make progress together.
6. Make personal professional growth and development plan-an incentive model for teachers' professional development goals.
The school issues the Personal Plan for Teachers' Professional Development and Growth to each teacher, so that teachers can plan their short-term (1-2 years), medium-term (3-5 years) and long-term (8- 10 years) professional development goals. At the same time, a detailed list of goals is attached, which is carried out from five aspects: education, teaching, scientific research, further study and overall goals. Establish a file of teachers' professional growth, so that teachers can compare their own past and see how much their profession has developed; Compare with the benchmarking teachers in the same group to see what gaps there are; Compared with peers, it still needs ... the start of "personal planning", which touches the long-lost passion of personal struggle and activates the passion of teachers' work.
7. Establish the file of teachers' professional development-the independent growth mode of teachers' professional development.
The school sets up a file of teachers' professional development, and files the information of teachers' professional development in the form of special topics, and requires teachers to reflect and summarize regularly: compare their past and see how much their profession has developed; Compare with the benchmarking teachers in the same group to see what gaps there are; Compared with their peers, teachers need to watch their own and others' footprints grow, so as to promote faster independent growth.
8. The famous teacher project-the benchmark navigation mode of teachers' professional development
The school vigorously carried out the "famous teacher project" construction. In the process of cultivating famous teachers, we should pay attention to spiritual encouragement, model demonstration and typical guidance. In order to further encourage young and middle-aged teachers to stand out, the school has formulated the "Regulations on the Evaluation of Third-level Key Teachers in Taizhou Middle School, Jiangsu Province" to support the introduction of academic allowance standards for school-level key teachers, municipal famous teachers and provincial experts. In recent years, our school has added two municipal discipline bases and 1 municipal famous teacher studios, and five school-level famous teacher studios will be listed this semester.
(5) Construct a school-based characteristic subject teaching mode to promote the development of teachers.
Advanced teaching concept is the soul of school quality education, front-line teachers are the main force to vigorously promote teaching reform and teaching innovation, and classroom teaching is the main position to implement quality education. Teaching mode is a relatively stable teaching process and method adopted by teachers to organize classroom teaching according to teaching rules under the command of specific teaching concepts. It has good teaching effect and certain popularization value, which makes the majority of front-line teachers get rid of the teaching situation that they only rely on experience and feelings and ignore teaching rules, thus getting twice the result with half the effort.
To this end, our school regards "exploring the classroom teaching mode under the new situation" as the breakthrough and focus of infiltrating the new curriculum concept, further deepening the curriculum reform and promoting quality education.
