Pushing open the door of Sinan Road Kindergarten, you can often see Teacher Liang Xiaoying "mingling" with the children. In the words of Liang Xiaoying, although the children I face are young, each one is a completely different individual, and they have unique personalities and characteristics. Therefore, she always puts the study of children first, seeing, understanding, and observing each child, which requires that the teacher's activity design must be "suitable" for the learning style of young children, and provide appropriate educational support for each child.
Liang Xiaoying, who has been working for 14 years, still has not relaxed her requirements for herself, constantly learning new knowledge, constantly practicing herself, and is a teacher with learning ability.
In October 2021, Liang Xiaoying had the honor of participating in the quadrennial "2021 Shanghai Primary and Secondary School (Kindergarten) Young and Middle-Aged Teacher Education Teaching Selection" activity, which also gave her the opportunity to comb and review the understanding of children over the years, and also had a deeper thinking on "based on children's positions", Teacher Liang often said: "Teachers must not only love children emotionally, but also understand the needs of children and understand the real feelings of children's one-day activities in the kindergarten." ”
In every day with the children, Liang Xiaoying will insist on doing three things: give each child the opportunity and conditions to fully express and perform every day, feel the feelings of young children, understand and interpret the practical meaning behind the children's behavior, and transform the children's interests and activities into educational opportunities; talk with other nursery staff in the class about what happens to each child every day, find support and help them learn and develop in the process of telling children's stories, and let children spend a meaningful day Every day, she records a child who "frustrated" her or teaches her, and each setback becomes a tool for her to examine herself, comb through, reflect, and review, thus forming a targeted way to support different children.
Liang Xiaoying told reporters that once, she saw a boy playing a game of nail tapping, according to adult thinking he should take a hammer to knock, while the boy pressed each plastic nail with his palm. When she squatted down to communicate with him, she realized that he was afraid that the sound of the small hammer would disturb his companions, and the child's answer surprised Liang Xiaoying, "The teacher can only really get close to their hearts if they see the children and listen to the children." It is precisely for this reason that observing each child every day has gradually become my professional habit, as a teacher, I must take the initiative to observe, and find the details of children's daily behavior that can read their thinking, in order to support children to achieve better development. ”
After fierce competition, Liang Xiaoying finally won the first prize of the 2021 Shanghai Primary and Secondary School (Kindergarten) Young and Middle-Aged Teacher Education Teaching Selection (Preschool Education). Looking back on the entire process of preparing for the competition, Liang Xiaoying frankly said: "From designing teaching activities, adjusting the classroom environment, optimizing the teaching process, to the presentation of the final activities, I realized that every growth and transformation is inseparable from the support and help of the team. ”
"Having the honor to participate in the municipal competition is a rare experience in life, with insight, harvest and responsibility, I will continue to adhere to the love of children, continue to follow their own ideals and pursuits of education, take the study of children as a daily habit, and care for and respect every choice made by children." Liang Xiaoying said.
"Care for and respect every choice children make, and look for opportunities for education in children's needs." ——Liang Xiaoying
