【Editor's Note】

When I was a child, I used to lie in the window and think

- What is over there in the mountain?

Mom said to me: Sea

Oh, is there the sea over there in the mountains?

……

A small poem from a middle school textbook tells the warm yearning of children in mountainous areas for the vast world.

On the other side of the mountain is not only the mountain, but also the sea of stars. There are also many people from afar, crossing thousands of miles, sowing hope, and "planting wings" for children's dreams.

September 10, 2022 is the 38th Teachers' Day in mainland China. This year's Teachers' Day coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the surging news launched a series of reports on "Mountains and Seas Rushing Together" to record the "mountains and seas" of volunteer teachers, and also send holiday blessings - a good full moon, peach and plum fragrance.

"Not only every student, but every tree on campus, every fish knows President Xiao!" Students of the Affiliated Foreign Chinese Middle School of Shanghai Normal University once commented on Xiao Ming, because in order to create a beautiful campus environment for the children, he put all his energy into the construction of the school's software and hardware.

Xiao Ming, the general leader of Shanghai's "group-style" education talents to aid Xinjiang, led 90 teachers to teach in southern Xinjiang. Currently, he is the principal of Kashgar Middle School (Kashgar No. 6 Middle School) affiliated to Shanghai Normal University.

There are two "21s" related to Xiao Ming's growth process: he graduated from the 21-year-old undergraduate and stepped onto the podium and engaged in basic education for 37 years, of which he has been a principal for 21 years.

The schools he worked in also changed many times, but whether it was in high-quality high schools in big cities, weak junior high schools in rural areas, or ethnic schools on the frontier, he always adhered to the belief that "there are no small schools, only big education".

This year's Teachers' Day, becoming the winner of the title of "Four Haves" Good Teacher (Teaching and Educating Model) in Shanghai in 2022, Xiao Ming hopes to continue to care for the education project with love and benefit more people.

Xiao Ming carried out moral education training

"Moral education is not an empty concept"

Xiao Ming often said: "Improving schools starts with moral education. Mount Everest can only stand on the Tibetan Plateau, and school quality and achievement can only be built on the high ground of moral education. ”

To this end, he has constructed a "three-line" and "four-theme" school moral education curriculum system. The "third line" is the class moral education curriculum, the school culture theme month and the student growth mentor system. The "four themes" are civilization self-cultivation, independent development, humanistic feelings and international understanding.

In Xiao Ming's view, "Moral education is not an empty concept, and moral education work needs to be carried out with a rich curriculum and activities as the carrier." ”

In 2021, he crossed thousands of miles to Kashgar in southern Xinjiang to teach as the principal of Kashgar No. 6 Middle School. He designed and experimented with the ""Mountains and Seas Together" Ideological and Humanistic Comprehensive Education Activity Course". Through the three major forms of education of reading cognition, experiential expression and walking and investigation, students are educated in the multi-faceted cultural ideology of Chinese dialect, Chinese poetry, Chinese history, Chinese road and Zhonghuazhi and infiltrated in many ways of "cognition, emotion, beauty, will, and action", and a complete system including eighteen courses is formed, which is well received.

As the general leader of educational talents, Xiao Ming led 90 teachers to come and teach in his capable style, which was known as the "Taklamakan Desert Edge" of the support light cavalry.

Among this light cavalry, there was a teacher Wang who was enthusiastic about promoting "family education" in southern Xinjiang and was already a little famous, and it turned out to be his student. Teachers and students met unexpectedly in the volunteer teaching team and became a local good story.

When the news of Xiao Ming's departure to southern Xinjiang had just spread, one of his students, Professor Huang, who was already teaching at a university in Shanghai, called him and wanted to donate books to children in southern Xinjiang and give classes and lectures to local students. There were also more Xiao Ming's students and apprentices who called directly to ask how to sign up for the branch.

Bring science and technology education to the countryside and frontiers

Xiao Ming is a physics teacher, he has always been concerned about "Qian Xuesen's question", in his view, "cultivating innovative talents, related to the future of the country, is the crown of education, and cultivating innovative personality is the crown jewel." ”

Xiao Ming believes that as long as workers engaged in basic education have a far-sighted vision, respect the law, maintain concentration, and try their best to build a good growth environment for innovative thinking and ability development, they will certainly provide more and better creative talents for the country.

During his work at the Affiliated Foreign Chinese Middle School of Shanghai Normal University, he pioneered the science and technology innovation education model in the form of "New Academy", which produced many breakthrough achievements and frequently won provincial, municipal, national and even international science and technology innovation awards.

Xiao Ming instructs students to feel Chinese culture

After coming to the rural junior high school, he also promoted science and technology education in the school according to local conditions. The township science and technology festival will be held on campus, the influence of science and technology education will be expanded, and the township government will be promoted to support school science and technology education. And encouraged young teachers to serve as science and technology counselors, found that encourage young people to innovate enthusiasm, trained municipal small researchers and district-level small researchers, formed the characteristics of school science and technology, and boosted the confidence of school development.

After coming to work in southern Xinjiang, he actively promoted the construction and use of four digital laboratories and an aerospace science and technology innovation museum and a science safety education hall funded by Shanghai Aid Xinjiang, and also actively contacted the front and rear of Shanghai Aid Xinjiang to prepare for the "Science and Technology Innovation into Southern Xinjiang" science and technology popularization activities. Stimulate the creative vitality of ethnic students in southern Xinjiang.

Make education warmer

"Education should reflect her warmth." Xiao Ming believes that to make education warm, we must reflect the people-oriented. The purpose and destination of education is the child, to understand the real help that each child needs to grow, to listen to the child's inner call, the child's life, emotions, life, environment may be more important than academics.

Xiao Ming said that to help students grow, we must first ensure that they live in a happy and harmonious school environment. He has long implemented changes to reduce unnecessary burdens on students, improve classroom efficiency, enrich student life, and improve the quality of life on campus.

He instructed teachers to leave more classroom time for students to think independently; Reduce homework time for children to read; He transferred the books from the library out of the shelves of the library and placed them in the open classroom opposite each class, building a "reading room next to him" for the students.

When he was transferred to the junior high school as the principal, Xiao Ming found that there were many difficult students in the school, but he did not give up any of his children. One child had severe ADHD and mania that affected the rest of the class, and his parents gradually became unable to control him at home. For the sake of the wishes of the children and the family, he arranged the children in a special classroom, and the school leaders and teachers took turns to teach him.

Coming to work in southern Xinjiang, he brought the warmth of education to the frontier where more help was needed. When he found that this student had football skills, he guided him to develop his strengths, often went to the training ground to watch him train, talked to him, found that there was an injury and personally took the students to the treatment, and also took the students to the mall to buy football shoes and sportswear. Winter vacation is coming, help students make training plans, arrange vacation life.

After a semester, the coach found Xiao Ming and excitedly said that the student had played the main position and his academic performance had improved. The class teacher also said that the child did not have to worry too much about him now.
