Teacher's love is like spring rain, moistening things silently; like spring breeze, calm and comfortable. However, in more situations, it is the poetry of "infinitely relevant feelings", the tenderness of "a tangled skirt is better than loose silk"; it is the wit of "unreasonable but wonderful". For the past ten years, Teacher Wu Yingchun has always placed her work commitment on her desk: "If you pay attention to the students, you will make new discoveries every day." Ten years of experience as a class teacher has allowed her to form the " "Respect is the premise, activities are the carrier, and student development is the purpose." In daily education and teaching, she always insists on advancing despite difficulties and forging ahead with determination, and is solid and steady every step she takes. This year she sent away another group of graduates with excellent results. Watching those students mature from being immature when they first entered school, from being resigned to being independent, thoughtful and energetic, it was a life beyond imagination. enjoy. The growth process of students is also the growth process of her as a young class teacher. During this period, she used to worry about "students with learning difficulties", she used to cry for failures at work, she used to be excited about students' excellent results, and she used to feel anxious for the students she got along with. Each story is touching. This is an equal dialogue between life and life, and a wise collision between soul and soul.
1. Love, with respect as the cornerstone
There is an educational motto: "Loving a student is tantamount to shaping a talent, and rejecting a student is tantamount to destroying a talent." "Only by loving students can we respect students, trust students, and create a good environment for students to become successful. Teacher Wu believes that there should be an equal relationship between teachers and students. Squat down and look directly into the eyes of the children, and use the teacher's sincere love and unfailing childlike innocence to talk to the young children. This respect is like a handful of gold. The key can decipher the code of any heart lock, allowing children to fully experience the safety and friendliness of the strange world outside the family, express their true self naturally, and grow up happily and freely.
1. Respect the individual development of children
Each child is an independent individual and is not comparable. Simple uniformity will not work. Educators should discover the uniqueness of children from their perspective, so that their personalities can be promoted and their traits can be developed. While studying and living together with the children, Teacher Wu carefully observed and discovered the "uniqueness" of each child. She asked children who were good at painting to bring their works to school, held a painting exhibition specifically in the class, and asked them to join the blackboard newspaper group to develop their talents; she asked children with outstanding sports performance to form a sports group to encourage the whole class to participate in physical exercises; She allows children who love reading to manage the book corner in the class, and regularly recommends good books to their classmates... Teacher Wu gives full play to the strengths of each student and sets up a platform for each child to show themselves according to their needs, allowing them to Show off your skills, showcase your talents and increase your confidence in various activities. I also saw my own value and experienced the joy of success and the joy of serving others.
There is also such a special child in her class named Wan Quan, a student who was transferred to Teacher Wu’s class in the fourth grade. Although he has only been here for a few days, children complain to Teacher Wu every day. It is said that he either swears or bullies his classmates, or that as soon as he is on duty, he throws away waste paper, even refuses to listen in class, and always fails to hand in homework, which is a headache for Teacher Wu. Not only can this child not keep up with his studies, but he also has not developed all kinds of habits well. How could this happen? After communicating with the parents, Teacher Wu found out: It turns out that the child is already 13 years old this year and should be in middle school. Due to his physical and intellectual problems, he has been studying in elementary school. And because her parents divorced, she was transferred from her original school to her class. After learning about these situations, Teacher Wu formulated a transformation plan of “giving whatever is lacking” and quickly put it into effect. In the days that followed, Teacher Wu often chatted with Wanquan and talked about topics he was interested in. During class, he always reminded him to pay attention to the lectures. Before school every day, he always called him aside alone to patiently help him finish his homework. Seize the advantage of his love for labor and praise it in the whole class. Since then, he has gradually changed. Although his homework is not correct, he can hand it in on time. After class, he is also willing to play games with his classmates. At the beginning of this year, he was selected by his classmates as the health supervisor of the class.
His transformation made Teacher Wu deeply realize how important it is for teachers to respect, understand and love students. Every child has his own expressive power. This is not just for children with high IQ and strong skills. All children can Have their own thinking and language. The premise of quality education is to recognize the differences between people and then be oriented to every student. A praise and a smile are the icing on the cake for students with good grades, and it is a timely help for those students who need encouragement. "The icing on the cake" is easy and beautiful; "giving timely help" is hard but important. She deeply remembers what Zhai Zong, the vice principal of Beijing No. 164 Middle School, said: "Students of different types and levels have equal rights to speak. This is education." Students come from different families, live in different environments, and have different way of thinking. We must comply with the inner growth laws of students in order to achieve the best results in educating people, so that each student can achieve maximum development to varying degrees based on his or her original abilities.
2. Respect independent consciousness and create space for self-development
Students need teachers’ teaching, care and love, and they also need teachers to respect their independent consciousness. Therefore, the class teacher must consciously protect their sense of independence and cultivate their ability to handle problems independently.
At last year's Children's Day audition for the school's artistic performance, due to insufficient preparation, the program on her class report was deleted. At this time, there were only three days left before the official performance. She had to start again. It’s too late to program. When Teacher Wu announced the news to the whole class, all the children in the class were very anxious. "Children's Day" is their holiday, and celebrating with everyone in their own holiday is what they have been looking forward to for a long time. Things are now about to come to nothing. At this time, several class committee members took the initiative and said: "Teacher, we will use our spare time to rehearse the new program, and we will definitely be selected." Other children also stood up and said: "Teacher, please believe us, please and The team counselor told us to give us another chance!" After hearing the children's words, Teacher Wu felt very pleased. She felt that her students had a strong sense of collective honor and independence. After everyone's joint efforts, three days later, at the school's art performance to celebrate Children's Day, the children danced Tibetan dances with beautiful melodies. From the choreography to the costumes and makeup, they all planned it themselves. The show ended , they received warm applause from the teachers and students of the school. Through this incident, the children's awareness of independence has been enhanced, their organizational skills have been improved, and the class's cohesion has become stronger.
Since then, Teacher Wu has solved major issues in various classes, such as: class style, class training, formulation of class rules, election of class committees, design of theme class meetings, various sports or knowledge competitions We must listen extensively to students' suggestions, fully promote democracy, let go, and create opportunities for students to exercise. Students' independent awareness is gradually established and effective.
2. Love, using understanding as a lever
“Children’s work is games.” Only in games and activities can they relax their body and mind, learn knowledge, understand principles, and gain exercise. As a class teacher, Teacher Wu deeply understands the needs of children. In practical work, she seizes and creates various educational opportunities, creates new educational activities, and cultivates students' love for the collective and the quality of caring for society and caring for others.
As students grow older, the phenomenon of comparing students to each other, treating birthdays, giving gifts, and spending money lavishly becomes increasingly serious. At the same time, some parents of students have also reported this situation to their teachers, hoping that Educate the whole class. But Teacher Wu knows that whether it is an individual conversation or a whole class education, such armchair students may be effective in a short period of time, but over time, this phenomenon will still repeat, or even become more serious. In response to this situation, Teacher Wu designed a household consumption survey, asking each child to go home and record their family's expenses for a month, and keep records. By sorting out the data, the children found that the daily consumption at home was only more than a thousand yuan per month, and a considerable part of it was spent on their own study and clothing, while their parents spent very little money on themselves. Looking at the data she surveyed in front of her, she asked the children to talk about their feelings after seeing the data, so that the children truly realized that their behavior of spending money randomly was wrong and they should correct it in time and use their pocket money reasonably. No comparison.
Later, in order to consolidate the educational effect, Teacher Wu held a class meeting with the theme "A penny, pick it up?" to help them learn to be frugal and understand that every penny is earned through labor and should be cherished and raised. Develop a good habit of frugality. As the saying goes, external factors work through internal factors. During game activities, children have tangible feelings, and the resulting behaviors come from the heart.
There are many activities similar to this in Teacher Wu’s class, such as: she trains her self-care ability through “finding the cleanest table hole” and “dressing and folding quilt competition”; "Do a good deed every day" activity to cultivate children's spirit of helping others; through "hand-in-hand" activities, educate about mutual help; introduce the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland through class meetings, stimulate children's patriotic emotions, and educate children about loving the motherland; By visiting the fire base, we conduct fire safety and self-rescue training; by telling the origin of their names, we guide children to understand and honor their parents; there are also activities such as "Starting Line", "Composition Garden", and "Steps of Growth" that make children extremely excited. . During the activity, their self-care ability, learning ability, ability to distinguish right from wrong, and cooperation ability were all tempered. The activity set up a big stage for students to grow.
3. Love is based on fairness
We all know that teachers educate innocent and lovely children, which requires teachers to have an equal and loving heart. From the first day she stepped onto the podium, she secretly determined to be an excellent primary school teacher, treat all students equally, and spread her love to them evenly, so that every student has the teacher's love in their heart. Rain, dew, and sunshine of love do not show preference based on personality, beauty or ugliness, wealth or poverty, academic performance, progress or backwardness. In actual teaching work, she also does this. She cares about and cares for every student, respects their personality, treats them equally and fairly, and does not ridicule or discriminate against students with poor academic discipline. Especially for students who have learning difficulties, she never hurts their self-esteem, the most sensitive corner of their souls. Instead, she follows a persuasive and tireless attitude to achieve equality of personality and mutual respect, because she deeply knows that only personality Equality can bring trust and friendship. Treat them with integrity, trust them, do not discriminate against them, have more heart-to-heart conversations with them, and strive to become their friends. As long as we can take a smooth first step, transformation will have a foundation. Next, put down your airs and go deep into them, gain insight into their inner world, and use sincere care to gain their trust. This is exactly what the saying goes: "Where there is sincerity, gold and stone are opened." She believes that the flowers in the garden are not born so bright, they need our hard work to prune and water them!
This semester, she serves as the class teacher of the fifth-grade graduating class. As the final review is approaching, the course tasks in each subject are relatively tight. There is a child in her class who has a poor learning foundation. At this time, she feels It was very difficult, and I became bored with studying. Sometimes I even refused to listen in class and could not complete my homework on time. Seeing this situation, Teacher Wu took the initiative to talk to the child, and often paid attention to him after class, and often used breaks to give him extra lessons. During this process, he was given timely encouragement for every achievement he achieved in his study and life. If he performs well within a week, has no disciplinary behavior, and has made progress in study, he will announce it to the whole class, reward and praise him, and call his parents in time so that the student can share his happiness with his parents when he goes home. . Doing so will undoubtedly make parents and students very happy, because they see the hope of success and appreciate the joy of winning the first battle. This kind of encouragement became the motivation for them to improve and change. Hard work paid off. In this final exam, this student with learning difficulties achieved better results.
Of course, to cultivate a person, it is not enough to rely on school and teachers alone. Teachers are the link between school, family, and society, and family and society are the major factors that truly affect a person's life. classroom. Therefore, there is an important link in the transformation process - home visits. Home visits are a special form for families and schools to communicate with each other about students' performance and learning status in order to achieve the purpose of educating students together. Used correctly, it will also play an extremely important role in transforming underachievers. Common reports of good news and worries are the main content of teachers' home visits, but at present, most of them report worries, especially for underachievers. Therefore, Teacher Wu should change the form and content of home visits.
First, let the parents determine the time for the interview; second, the three parties, parents, teachers, and students, get together and be open and honest; third, the teacher talks about the students' strengths and hobbies in a vivid way, so as to increase the confidence of parents and students; third, Fourth, put forward sincere hopes to facilitate students' progress.
In this way, no matter how "bad" students are, they should understand the teacher's painstaking efforts. Because she firmly believes in a truth - "A child is a seedling, not a piece of dead wood." We often say that "teachers are engineers of the human soul." To shape the soul, knowledge alone is not enough. It requires the development of the heart and soul. The impact requires the teacher to use all his love to warm every young heart.
4. The dedication of love, the gain of love
After ten years of standing in front of the three-foot podium and being a class teacher for ten years, Teacher Wu deeply feels the great responsibility. She firmly believes that only high-quality teachers can bring out high-quality students. Whether it is the updating of educational concepts or the application of teaching content and methods, it all depends on the quality and level of teachers. A teacher must have a high professional level, extensive professional knowledge and theoretical foundation in order to be competent in education and teaching. Therefore, she used her spare time to study all the courses in the primary education major of the Beijing Institute of Education. She later studied Chinese language and literature at Beijing Normal University and has now obtained a bachelor's degree. In addition, she also learned computer and through her own efforts, she obtained a computer A-level certificate. In teaching, she strives to apply the general principles, principles, and methods she has learned in pedagogy, psychology, and teaching methods to the practice of education and teaching. She pays attention to the cultivation of students' various abilities and pays attention to daily training, so students' thinking Agile and strong verbal expression skills.
The students in the class she teaches are able to help each other, unite and cooperate in daily studies, and achieve excellent academic performance; for several consecutive years, her class has ranked among the best in rope skipping, shuttlecock kicking, long-distance running, and radio gymnastics competitions. Thanks to the unremitting efforts of teachers and students, their class was rated as an outstanding squadron. Teacher Wu was once rated as an outstanding counselor, and in February 2005, he was rated as an outstanding class teacher in the "Forbidden Cup".
Ten years of working as a class teacher has been both bitter and sweet. What motivates Teacher Wu to do his best and work in this ordinary position without any regrets is the great charm of the work of a class teacher - hard work. After the spiritual enjoyment. To this end, she will continue to improve herself through study and practice, exercise herself at work, and enrich herself through struggle. Be like a drop of crystal water that merges into the vast sea; like a fragrant flower clustered in a colorful garden; use selfless love and the art of education to interpret the meaning of the new century class teacher.
