About half of the students in No.66 Middle School come from suburbs and rural areas every year, and many children's families are relatively poor; Most students enter high school, and after their scores in cultural courses rank 30 thousand in the city, many students have learning difficulties and bad behavior habits; About one out of every six students comes from a single-parent family, and many students are psychologically unhealthy and their personalities are not sound enough for various reasons. To this end, the school has solidly carried out a series of activities and earnestly implemented caring education.
In recent years, a series of activities have been carried out successively, such as "pairing party member students, helping the poor and supporting the excellent", donating money to the tsunami-stricken areas in the Indian Ocean, offering love to Zhu Guangyun, a freshman whose parents died, caring for the disabled, and providing services for the sports meeting for the disabled in Xiaoshi Street, Xiaguan District. The school has also set up "Zhiyuan Scholarship" and "Caring Scholarship", giving out more than 80,000 yuan each year to help poor students and reward outstanding students. The school also waives about 200 students from low-income families every year, with a cost of nearly 654.38+10,000 yuan. All these works have achieved good results. Cultivating education is the focus of moral education in this school, and it is also the main content of school spirit and study style construction. By cultivating students' correct learning attitude and good behavior habits, we can discover and develop each student's potential ability, pave the way for each student's growth, success and success, thus laying a solid foundation for improving students' social adaptability.
The school employs the deputy director of the small city police station as the vice president of the school's legal system to regularly educate students on the legal system. Police stations, schools, class teachers and parents should educate together to enhance students' legal and moral awareness and civic awareness.
The school spirit mainly depends on students' compliance with the code of conduct. In order to really promote the formation of a good school spirit, they do a good job of "three lines": moral education department, class teacher and parents' Committee, and "three lines are integrated" to form an educational synergy. In our daily work, we pay attention to the word "learning", highlight the word "strictness" and put forward the word "often". Instruct students to master the Daily Code of Conduct for Middle School Students and the Daily Work and Rest of Students in School one by one; Strict requirements, check the performance of students in school study and activities, and persevere. Through hard work, students' behavior has changed from compulsion to self-control, and from heteronomy to self-discipline, forming good behavior ability, which not only promotes the optimization of school spirit and discipline, but also promotes the healthy growth of students and ensures the steady improvement of teaching quality. Cultivating students with mental health is an important embodiment of education adapting to the needs of social development. High school students' spiritual world is rich and colorful, and their views on the world are more emotional than rational. In the period of social transformation in China, multiple values have been formed, which has brought many psychological problems to middle school students who are forming values.
The school has set up a psychological counseling room, which is open at noon every day. Psychological counseling teachers with employment certificates receive visiting students, communicate face to face and guide students' psychology. The school blackboard newspaper has set up a psychological counseling column to guide and educate students' various psychological problems. Each class carried out "How to be a qualified and healthy person?" "What kind of will quality should middle school students cultivate?" For example, the discussion and research of the subject will provide students with diversified psychological training and cultivate their healthy souls. The school also requires every teacher, no matter what subjects he teaches, to have basic psychological education ability and actively care about students' mental health. In order to make students' mental health education go out of a scientific way, the school declared the Nanjing Tenth Five-Year Plan project "Compilation and Use of Self-growth Record Card" and set up a research group headed by President Hong Yang. After several years of experimental research, the project has been successfully completed and won the honor of advanced collective and advanced individual in Nanjing. The school regards every course included in the teaching plan as a basic course, so as to open all courses and class hours well and pay attention to cultivating students' learning ability and learning methods. At the beginning of freshmen's enrollment, there are special lectures in all major disciplines. Teachers introduce the characteristics of this subject, teach the methods of learning this course in senior high school, make a good connection between junior high school and senior high school education, guide students to change difficult learning into easy learning, learn from learning, master the basic skills of lifelong learning, make students adapt to the learning requirements in senior high school, and lay the foundation for adapting to the future lifelong learning society. The school requires every teacher to accurately grasp students and reduce the starting point and focus of teaching, which is neither difficult nor fast. In the teaching process, all teachers are required to renew their ideas, reform the teaching of various subjects, enrich the teaching content, highlight the quality training, and adhere to the "three basics" (basic knowledge, basic skills and basic habits) to improve students' academic performance and learning skills.
The school has also set up track and field teams, artistic specialty groups, orchestras and so on. To build overpasses for students who are interested in art and sports. Every year, students are admitted to art and physical education majors in colleges and universities. Under the premise of facing the whole people and laying a solid foundation, the school implements individualized and hierarchical teaching.
On the one hand, change only emphasizes knowledge and ignores ability; The tradition of exam-oriented education, which only emphasizes the two basics and ignores emotions, attitudes and values, emphasizes the coordinated development of each student's knowledge, skills, emotions, attitudes and values, and emphasizes the importance of emotions, attitudes and values in future social life and happiness, as an element of building an education that adapts to students' development.
On the other hand, it is necessary to change the tendency of focusing only on students with excellent grades and ignoring students with poor grades, and emphasize that everyone in the school is equal, and there is no distinction between good and bad. In the process of education and teaching, we should "grasp both ends and promote the middle", that is, we should not only pay attention to students with excellent grades and performances, but also give more care to students with poor grades and performances, and ask teachers to approach them, enter their hearts, understand their growth stories, find out the reasons why they are now, and explore. Based on social needs, students' development and subject system, the school has built a trinity curriculum model including compulsory courses, elective courses and activity courses. The school strictly implements the spirit of "Nanjing Ordinary Middle School Senior High School Curriculum Arrangement" and provides sufficient prescribed courses. According to the concept of implementing three-level management in the new curriculum, we have developed and selected mathematical ideas and methods, Tang poetry and tourism, Song poetry and life, chemistry and life, physics and life, modern biological science and technology, and web page design and production. The school leads students into communities, military camps, enterprises and villages to carry out colorful social practice activities. Research courses such as water pollution investigation and problem bar in Shili Changgou are very popular among students.
The school implements the new curriculum plan and guides teachers to achieve five "optimizations": first, optimize the teaching concept and change teachers' leading students into teachers to adapt to students; The second is to optimize the teaching environment and change compulsory closure into democratic opening; The third is to optimize the teaching process and change teachers' knowledge into students' active participation in learning; The fourth is to optimize teaching methods and change indoctrination into heuristic and inquiry; The fifth is to optimize teaching methods and change the traditional single media into multimedia-assisted teaching. And to optimize the teaching process as the main direction. Explore new teaching modes. On the basis of enriching and developing the original teaching mode, a new teaching mode suitable for this subject has been found. Optimize the work design. Strengthen "scientific research" to improve classroom efficiency and homework, emphasize foundation, ability and feedback in classroom teaching, so that students at different levels can be improved.
With the joint efforts of teachers and students, the teaching quality of the school has been steadily improved. In 2003, the undergraduate enrollment rate was 46%, and the social response was strong. In the past three years, under the premise of the lowest level of students in the city, about 20-40 people have been admitted to undergraduate colleges every year, and several of them have been admitted to undergraduate classes 1 and 2. The undergraduate enrollment rate is high. The passing rate of comprehensive examination is over 94% every year, the passing rate is about 80%, and the college entrance examination rate is about 95%. A group of students stood out in various competitions and won prizes. Managing schools according to law is an important part of managing education according to law, and it is the concrete embodiment of managing the country according to law in the education system. No.66 Middle School has been taking the law and the spirit of superior documents as the criterion, strengthening school management in combination with the school situation, and has formed the characteristics of handling affairs according to law, democratic centralism, everyone learning the law, and all members obeying the law.
The school implements a leadership system in which the principal is fully responsible, the party branch guarantees supervision, and the teachers' congress manages democratically. All major issues, such as student fees, infrastructure construction, personnel changes, management system and reward mechanism, are discussed by the "three meetings" (branch Committee, school Committee and teachers' congress) to determine the best scheme. The constitution of the school, the formulation of various rules and regulations, and the decision-making on major issues of the school are all based on the spirit of relevant laws, regulations and superior documents. Over the years, the school has always created a good legal environment: correct the direction of running a school and correct the tendency of one-sided pursuit of enrollment rate; Efforts should be made to reduce students' heavy academic burden and put an end to unhealthy practices in industries such as ordering materials indiscriminately, charging fees indiscriminately, and running classes indiscriminately; Prohibit corporal punishment or corporal punishment in disguised form; Don't discriminate against underachievers; Insulting and beating teachers are not allowed. , praised by students, parents and all walks of life.
Legal education in schools should be carried out in a hierarchical and focused manner, with the plan, content, personnel and time being "four-implemented". Many times, Party School, Procuratorate, Public Security Department and other departments of the district committee have been hired to teach relevant laws and regulations, maintain the advanced nature of the party, eight honors and eight disgraces and other related knowledge to the main leaders at the school level.
For middle-level and above cadres, the school put forward the requirements of "strengthening the awareness of the legal system, strengthening the concept of running the school according to law, improving the ability of decision-making and management according to law, and safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of teachers and students at school". On the one hand, regularly organize cadres to seriously study, exchange and discuss relevant laws and regulations, and improve the level and ability of administration and management according to law; On the other hand, the ability to handle affairs according to law is regarded as an important content of cadre assessment, and the legal concept and legal consciousness of cadres are strengthened.
Schools make use of political study, party organization life meetings, etc. Organize the teaching and administrative staff to seriously study the education law, the teacher law, the law on the protection of minors, the law on the prevention of juvenile delinquency and other laws and regulations, constantly improve the moral level and legal quality of teachers, and improve the consciousness of obeying the law.
The school has constructed three series on the ways and methods of implementing legal education for students: one is a series of classroom teaching aimed at understanding and understanding the law. Make good use of political courses and legal education courses to improve legal courses. The second is a series of educational infiltration aimed at strengthening the concept of legal system. By integrating legal education into subject teaching, students can know that there are laws everywhere in life and always act according to law, which effectively enhances their legal concept. The third is a series of practical activities aimed at improving the awareness of law-abiding and usage. By holding legal lectures, theme class meetings, knowledge contests, mock trials and other ways, students will learn and abide by the law and usage, so that all students can abide by the law. From 15, the student crime rate is zero.
Through the above work, the level of running schools according to law has been gradually improved, the direction of running schools has not deviated, and the rights and interests of teachers and students have been safeguarded. The school has been rated as "advanced collective of legal education", "demonstration unit of democracy and legal system", "advanced unit of standardizing education fees" and "advanced collective of teachers' morality" in Xiaguan District. Refined management is the inevitable requirement of modern management for refined social division of labor and refined service quality. On the basis of conventional management, it is a key step to deepen conventional management. Schools strengthen refined management, so that the system is healthy, layers of perfection, and responsibilities are implemented. To concretize and clarify management responsibilities requires everyone to be in place, perform their duties and take their own responsibilities, thus forming a mechanism in which everyone is in charge, everywhere is in charge, everything is in charge, power is layered, tasks are shouldered, and responsibilities are borne by everyone.
The school makes great efforts to do a good job in three aspects: first, do a good job in training and unify thinking. The school organizes teachers to learn books such as "Details Decide Success or Failure", and requires teachers to write their own experiences, understand the truth that "one millionth difference is a thousand miles away" and realize the importance of refined management. Second, establish a system, clear norms. First of all, formulate the job responsibilities of the personnel in all departments of the school, so that some people are responsible and others are responsible. Secondly, formulate the processes and norms of school work, establish management processes for leadership decision-making, work procedures and other work, and explain the steps and requirements of management. On this basis, work specifications are refined. School work norms include the system of making school affairs public, the rules of procedure for important matters, the system of student status management, the daily work of teachers, and the work rules of class teachers. Thirdly, the assessment and incentive system for teachers should be formulated, including bonus and salary payment method, monthly assessment system for teachers, assessment system for head teachers, collective lesson preparation system and inspection system. , a comprehensive evaluation of teachers' work process, performance and work attitude. Third, check and urge, and do a good job in implementation. Facts have proved that inspection and supervision in the process of system implementation are essential, which is based on the need of information communication in the process of implementation. The school determines the feedback person, feedback time and feedback process of system implementation, and supervises and controls the whole process of system implementation. For example, the school has formulated a "patrol system", which clearly stipulates the classroom teaching routine of teachers. The academic affairs office must patrol more than three classes every day. When problems are found, they must be solved on the same day, and the responsible person must be clearly defined, and a written report should be submitted to the principal's office for the record as the basis for the assessment of the month. The principal in charge is responsible for supervising and inspecting the implementation of the Academic Affairs Office. If the academic affairs office finds that the problem is not handled in time, it will investigate the responsibility of the academic director.
Through the gradual implementation of refined management, the arbitrariness of making various work plans is reduced, and there are fewer cases where plans are not implemented or are not checked. The school decrees are unblocked, the work efficiency is improved, and the satisfaction of parents and students is improved. The key to optimizing the internal management mechanism of the school is to publicize the humanization of management, so that teachers can complete their education and teaching work with peace of mind, comfort, enthusiasm and dedication. The core of any school management is people, and teachers are living people. They have thoughts, feelings, independent personalities, various needs, and are eager to realize their own values-these are the main characteristics of people as living beings. School management should face up to these characteristics. While paying attention to scientific and orderly management, schools should establish a sense of life, take the development of teachers as the foundation, establish a humanistic modern management concept, carry out democratic management, strive to create a relaxed, harmonious and United interpersonal environment, and promote teachers to do their work more actively and students to complete their learning tasks more actively and consciously.
With the progress and development of the times, people have the right and desire to continuously improve their material life, which is also consistent with the basic goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way in China. Teachers are ordinary people and should not be synonymous with "poor teachers". Based on this understanding, school leaders have formed a consciousness that they should do everything possible to gradually improve the treatment of teaching staff and ensure their basic benefits such as medical expenses, housing subsidies, and class hours rewards. Based on the principle of "rewarding the excellent and punishing the poor, rewarding the diligent and punishing the lazy, leaning towards the front line of teaching and leaning towards the head teacher", the school has formulated the "Measures for the Payment of Reward Wages in Sixty-six Middle Schools". The result of the operation is to break the pot, significantly improve the treatment of teachers with heavy workload and outstanding achievements, safeguard the interests of the school and protect the enthusiasm of most people. We think this is an important aspect of practicing the "people-oriented" concept. We always adhere to the principle of "uniting people with feelings, inspiring people with career and retaining people with treatment", strive to create a harmonious internal environment for teachers and take the initiative to solve problems for teachers. For example, the welfare of retired teachers, reimbursement of medical expenses, spring outing and autumn outing, teachers' day dinner, holiday group worship, visiting patients and other work have been done in a down-to-earth manner. The workload of in-service old teachers is calculated by 1.3 class per class. For young teachers, school leaders often talk to them, guide them to reduce the mental stress caused by financial difficulties, support for the elderly and children's enrollment, and do their best to help them solve the problem of children's enrollment and let them work with peace of mind. At the same time, for some teachers who have just taken up their jobs, the school has carried out the "Blue Project" in a down-to-earth manner, forming a helping pair for the old and the new to promote each other, creating conditions for the rapid growth of young teachers. The school gives priority to improving teachers' office conditions, fully listens to teachers' opinions in major decisions, and embodies humanistic spirit everywhere.
"Sincerity for sincerity, enthusiasm for passion". The faculty and staff are single-minded and single-minded. Every year, teachers' day dinner or New Year's Day party is full of laughter, unity, harmony and spring. No wonder leaders at all levels come to the school to guide the work, and assessment teams or colleagues from all over the country come to the school to exchange studies and pass on classics. They all praise No.66 Middle School as a healthy and harmonious school. The school believes that in the information age, teachers, as organizers and implementers of quality education, must have a variety of abilities: teaching ability, classroom control ability, interpersonal relationship handling ability, learning ability to update knowledge, innovative scientific research ability and elegant aesthetic ability. In the development process of these years, the school attaches great importance to improving the overall quality of teachers from two aspects: professional quality and scientific research ability.
The school requires all teachers to strengthen their studies and constantly improve their business, especially young teachers and teachers with substandard academic qualifications. Schools actively create conditions, provide opportunities and encourage teachers to participate in academic certification. At the same time, teachers are required to actively participate in teaching and research activities organized by cities and districts and collective lesson preparation activities of schools.
The school adheres to the concept of "strengthening teachers through scientific research", "promoting curriculum reform through scientific research, promoting quality through curriculum reform and promoting quality through quality", and guides all teachers to embark on the track of educational scientific research. In recent years, the school has undertaken a sub-project of the national teaching and research project in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and won the honors of advanced school and advanced individual in Nanjing. There are 2 municipal "Tenth Five-Year Plan" projects and 1 municipal "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" project 1 project. While improving their business, teachers actively write educational and teaching papers and actively participate in the selection of excellent courses in urban areas. In 2003-2004, 25 teachers in this school won prizes in the evaluation of educational and teaching papers in provinces, municipalities and districts. In 2004-2005, 36 teachers in this school won prizes in the evaluation of educational and teaching papers and the evaluation of provincial and municipal excellent courses, which won the honor for the school. The school attaches great importance to the cultivation of young teachers, cares about the growth of young teachers from the aspects of system, ideology, work and life, creates conditions for young teachers to participate in party classes and business studies, encourages young teachers to go out to study, requires young teachers to practice their basic skills hard, allows them to participate in school research, arranges new and old teachers to pair up, effectively inherits them, and gives help and care from the aspects of teachers' morality and business, so as to make the "six ones" series of training activities for young teachers solid and effective. Teachers such as Ma Aiying, Wang Xiangrong, Wang Canglin, Zhang Lihai and Wang Ying have successively won the title of "Outstanding Young Teachers in Nanjing". Since the establishment of the teaching department, it has continuously provided all teachers with the latest teaching and research information. The teaching department founded the magazine "Learn to Learn and Go to the Future", which published the new theories, new trends and new problems in the practice of education and teaching, and published the papers of school teachers.
With the support of the Urban Education Bureau, in recent years, the school has introduced more than 20 teaching backbone teachers from Qidong, Gaochun, Huai 'an, Hongze, Jiangyin, Jiangyan and other places, greatly enhancing the teaching staff.
As the saying goes, "The road we walked in Xiongguan is like iron, but now it is a leap from the beginning". Now, under the guidance of Theory of Three Represents, 66 people are carrying out the education of "three modernizations" in depth, carrying forward the spirit of moving mountains and rivers, and unswervingly moving towards higher goals. They have reason to believe that in the tide of implementing quality education, with the joint efforts of all teachers and students, they will open up a school-based fame avenue for quality education, and a modern high school will rise in the eastern suburbs of the ancient city of Nanjing.
