Beijing Miyun, walking into the Poly Garden campus here, you can't help but marvel. Quiet, bright, spacious, all kinds of rings straight into the eye, making people feel high value and comfortable, even the flowers and plants are extremely exquisite.
But none of these are as moving as the next picture:
As soon as the kindergarten children saw the teacher appear, they shouted "Mom" and "Sunny" (English name) and rushed over. Before the teacher could squat, the child hugged her thigh and couldn't wait to start talking:
"Teacher, you see, I went to see my teeth on Sunday!"
"Mom, what are you going to do?"
"Sunny, what are we playing today?"
This child who just appeared and was hugged tightly by the children was today's protagonist, Guo Hailing, the main teacher of Beijing Miyun Poly Garden Campus, and also the subject of our interview today.
Teacher Guo has worked here for 7 years, she is a kind presence like a mother in the eyes of children, and an excellent lecturer who has won all major teaching awards in the eyes of colleagues.
Even at the first meeting, her love for her children and the educational philosophy she conveyed were impressive.
If you are also curious, do not dare to defecate in kindergarten, or have an argument... and many other problems, how did Eaton's teachers solve them;
Or do you want to know why Eaton Kindergarten kids, confident and lively, dare to express themselves?
The following teacher Guo's story will definitely give you the answer.
She is a "poop fighter" who helps her children overcome the toilet crisis for a week
Dr. Montessori has a saying: In Montessori teaching, the teacher is first and foremost an observer, followed by a guide, which especially requires the teacher's usual memory and concern for the child.
Teacher Guo has a habit that he has insisted on for 7 years - observing the child's psychology.
She can observe the smallest movements of young children and explore the most urgent needs of young children. For example, Teacher Guo found that there was a child in her class who never dared to defecate in kindergarten, so she endured until she went straight to the toilet as soon as she came home.
This problem is encountered by almost 90% of young children.
But Teacher Guo knows that holding stool not only affects the physical and mental health of children, but also makes the mother extremely anxious, after all, there is a baby who holds stool every day, how can parents not be nervous?
After "secret observation", Teacher Guo formulated a method according to the characteristics of the child and embarked on a journey to save the poop:
Find a child one-on-one chat about science every day: talk about a natural process of physical defecation, guide him to the bathroom at the right time, and let the action of pulling the rice ball naturally occur: "Come, let's feed the toilet some food." ”
Home cooperation to break the mother's anxiety: support so that parents are no longer anxious, daily with the child to read some toilet theme picture books, so that parents and children's emotions are soothed, more about the process of lacan.
One day, the boy excitedly ran to her and said, "Teacher, I'm adding food to that little toilet again today!" ”
From finding the problem of the child holding stool to solving the problem, Teacher Guo spent a week before and after.
Whether it is pulling the rice or making friends, Teacher Guo always pays attention to the child's various behaviors and psychological states, guides the child to express his needs, and helps the child solve the problem.
She is the "inventor of games" and her original pedagogy makes children learn happily
Etonkids has always emphasized the love of children as their own, which is not only instinctive, but also professional and methodical.
Teacher Guo will pay attention to the child's development stage, according to the child's age characteristics and psychological needs, to design some work that can interest them.
For example, in Ancona Teaching (Montessori course), Mr. Guo created a silent game. Three children in a group, randomly draw a note, read and complete the corresponding work:
"Please come here with a yellow colored pen."
"Please help so-and-so's child choose a job."
"Please help me hold the Flag of England."
The novel form of the game captures the curiosity of children. According to the development of each child's different abilities, Teacher Guo also set up different game content. For this challenging task, the children are full of interest and take the initiative to complete 3-5 sets every day.
Behind the children's interest and love to participate is the infinite efforts of Eaton teachers.
Inter-city Outstanding Chinese Lecturer of the Year, Second Prize of Teacher Moral Speech Competition, Excellence Award of Beijing Intercity Skills and Skills Competition, Best Contribution Award of Campus... These awards and the Montessori training he has participated in have witnessed Mr. Guo's continuous learning and upgrading of professional knowledge over the past 7 years.
After returning home, it is also The "charging time" of Teacher Guo, she draws inspiration from many learning platforms, combines the characteristics of the children in her class, and adapts or creates some teaching activities suitable for children.
For example, before doing THE NEW CROWN vaccination, in order to encourage children to be brave evaccinated, Teacher Guo wanted to find some children's songs or finger exercises with related themes, but she found that there was no such content.
Therefore, Teacher Guo himself adapted a children's song of "Vaccine Guard Protects Me" and taught it to children the next day.
No wonder Teacher Guo stressed, "Teachers are a conscience worker. ”
As a teacher, it is often the love and responsibility for the child, pushing her and more teachers, and has been moving forward on the road of learning.
She is a "peace magician" who uses a flower to teach children to resolve conflicts independently
Walking into the Poly Garden Campus, you will find that the children here have some special temperament.
They are lively, confident, dare to express themselves, and the way they solve problems is not the same.
For example, when I asked, "Two children have a conflict and quarrel, how will you solve it?" ”
Teacher Guo did not answer directly, but told a story of peace roses. From her answer to this question, we can also intuitively feel this.
"The Story of the Rose of Peace"
In the Eaton classroom, there will be a peace table with a bottle of "peace flowers" on the table. (Usually a rose, sometimes a pot of green plants) Two children have a dispute over grabbing a toy, and will use peace flowers to resolve the conflict.
● One child invites peace negotiations, and the other child must accept the invitation;
● Only children holding roses can speak and express their needs;
● Then pass the flowers to the child opposite and listen to him express his views;
Two children take turns talking, listening, passing roses, and after a few rounds, they can often coordinate the solution: "You can play for 5 minutes first, and then you have to give me back the toy." ”
Guiding children to express their feelings and solve problems independently reflects the teaching characteristics of Teacher Guo: treat children equally like adults.
And the children, who also regard her as a friend, are always eager to share their daily routines with the teachers.
For example, there is a child in the class, who was picked up by his father to go to the hospital to see his teeth on Friday afternoon, this matter has actually passed a weekend, but the child came to the kindergarten on Monday morning, the first thing is to find a teacher to "show off": "Teacher, you see I am particularly brave, I did not cry that day when I extracted my teeth, my sister cried!" ”
Children's childhood is soaked in such an environment, and they will grow up to be more confident, lively and dare to express themselves. I believe that no matter what situation they encounter in the future, they will have a beautiful driving force in their hearts.
A "super teacher" 7 years of experience: love and respect, is the best background for children's growth
A teacher who loves her children and her work can't help but be curious about her upbringing.
We learned that Teacher Guo grew up in a family of equal respect, so that she felt a lot of love, in her own words: "When there is a lot of love in itself, you can give love." ”
After becoming a teacher, she also copied this equal respect and love to Eaton's children, who instinctively felt kind and trusted.
For example, there was a small detail that shook me —
Teacher Guo will crouch down, talk to the children at the same height, keep their eyes level, and say "please" when communicating with them, every time.
After understanding it, I realized that this is also what Etonkid's teachers are doing. Communicate equally, get along like friends; accompany with love, and let every child become the best version of themselves.
The relationship between Mr. Guo and the children in the class reminded me of the psychological point of view:
Most of us live the same thing over and over again. If you get happiness, you repeat happiness; if you learn to trust, you copy trust.
This kind of repetition is the child's growth path.
How can you help your child grow up in the repetition of happiness and trust? From Teacher Guo's sharing, I summarized the following points, I believe that both parents and teachers can be inspired:
First, respect the nature of children. Every child has a lot of potential, and children who are respected will be more confident, lively, expressive and imaginative.
Second, rules and freedom coexist. We should be an observer and project new work that interests our children to develop concentration and order.
Third, crouch down and look at the child. Treat children as equal communication objects, but also be children's listeners, listen to children's voices.
Fourth, love the child, give him love and respect. A child with a sense of security and happiness, because of being respected and accompanied, will grow up more confident.
In the process of talking with Teacher Guo, we found that the most special thing about Teacher Guo is that she treats every child in the kindergarten equally and is sincerely responsible for every job.
Therefore, she became a kind sunny mother in the eyes of children, and an all-round excellent lecturer in the eyes of colleagues.
Moreover, because she has worked in a traditional kindergarten, her deep recognition of Eaton's educational philosophy has pushed her to devote herself to the things she loves, ignite her life, and light up the future of her children.
Is this really the case with Teacher Guo Hailing? From the picture of the children jumping up and hugging her and calling out to her mother, you will know it at a glance.
