In the new semester, Chongming added two new schools, Dongtan Senior High School of Shanghai Experimental School and Changxing Branch of Shanghai Experimental Primary School, which officially opened and welcomed the first batch of students.
Shanghai Experimental School Dongtan Senior High School adopts the model of "famous school + new school" and cooperates with famous schools in the urban area to build a cross-district group school model, while Shanghai Experimental Primary School Changxing Branch introduces the school philosophy and curriculum of Shanghai Experimental Primary School to benefit island teenagers.
In recent years, Chongming and Huangpu, Jing'an and other districts have signed multiple rounds of educational cooperation agreements to introduce more high-quality educational resources through close cooperation. At the same time, the district is also constantly innovating and exploring different models of group-run schools, led by high-quality schools and senior teaching and research personnel, breaking down the barriers of school segments, and forming a close-knit education group cooperation mechanism - the continuous exploration of the "Chongming Model", which promotes the high-quality and balanced development of urban and rural education.
"It's always been our hope that children will be able to attend good schools on their doorstep." Parents said that the growth of children is a major event for every family, and now, the high-quality resources of famous schools have radiated to Chongming, and the quality of compulsory education has been continuously improved, which is gratifying.
The results of the "famous school + new school" model have begun to appear
In 2016, Jing'an and Chongming signed an agreement on educational cooperation, and through the group running of schools, a new school was built in Chengqiao Town, Jing'an Nanxi Kindergarten, Chongming District, Chongming District Xincheng Kindergarten (hereinafter referred to as Nanxi Xincheng Kindergarten) and Jiangfan Primary School of Chongming District (hereinafter referred to as Jiangfan Primary School), which are respectively managed by Jing'an Nanxi Kindergarten and the First Normal Affiliated Primary School (hereinafter referred to as the First Division Attached Primary School), with a custody period of 8 years. The two schools were officially opened on September 1, 2017.
Nanxi New Town Kindergarten introduced and transplanted the concept of "happy play and effective learning" of Jing'an West Nanjing Road Kindergarten, and set up special activity rooms such as Meimei House, Beibei House, Structure Room, Science Exploration Room, Thinking Computer Room, etc., so that it not only meets the creation standards of Shanghai First-class Kindergarten, but also highlights the characteristics and quality of Xincheng Park. With the hand-in-hand of Nanxi Kindergarten, in 2021, the kindergarten successfully completed the goal of the municipal kindergarten. From 3 small classes and 18 teachers when the kindergarten was newly built, it has developed to 14 classes and 282 children in three grades today, and has become another well-known high-quality kindergarten in Chongming area.
In addition to its good geographical location, the very important reason comes from the concept of "pleasant education" advocated by the Shanghai First Division Affiliated Primary School and the colorful curriculum, which has been extended and developed in Jiangfan Primary School.
Last year, Dongtan School, affiliated to Shanghai Experimental School, sent away the first batch of junior high school graduates, and the students' academic performance was quite excellent. It is a nine-year public school under the Chongming District Education Bureau and entrusted by the Shanghai Experimental School. This year, the school achieved another good result, with more than 90% of students reaching above the self-enrollment and quota allocation control line. The most valuable thing is that the school attaches great importance to the physical health of students, and has opened many sports projects including football, basketball, table tennis, badminton, golf, rowing, fencing, etc. The results of the 2021 graduate sports examination rank first in the district, and the average score even exceeds that of the district sports school students, and in 2022, the school was rated as a shanghai myopia prevention and control demonstration school.

From planting the genes of famous schools in Shanghai to taking root in Chongming, from "blood transfusion" to forming a "hematopoietic" mechanism, the "famous schools + new schools" cross-regional education group is gradually becoming one of the important measures for the high-quality development of basic education in Chongming.
The "new school" shares the achievements of the "famous school", achieves basic consistency in the curriculum, teaching materials, teaching methods, and evaluation, and takes the "famous school" curriculum system as the model, based on the school-based practical experience, and actively creates an education model that fits the localization of Chongming education, with a high starting point and fast quality improvement, which has been highly recognized by the people of Chongming, attracted the attention of many parents and students, and improved the level of high-quality and balanced development of Chongming basic education.
In recent years, under the impetus of the "famous school + new school" model, since 2017, Chongming District has introduced 7 high-quality public schools (kindergartens) in the central urban area to manage Chongming's newly opened schools (kindergartens), created 4 "famous schools + new schools" cross-district education group, and island students can go to "good schools" at their doorstep, so that the people have a real sense of gain.
The compact group explores improving quality and efficiency
In addition to building a consortium of "famous schools + new schools", Chongming is also promoting the exploration of close-knit group schools. In November last year, Chongming Middle School, an experimental demonstration high school in the city, Chengqiao Middle School in Chongming District, a municipal characteristic ordinary high school, and Chongming District Education College, served as the core schools of the group, and three cross-section close-knit education groups were established. The three core schools join hands with the primary and secondary schools in the group to break through the barriers of school segments and actively explore the improvement of the quality and efficiency of the church.
High school teachers enter junior high schools, and teaching and research staff of the College of Education enter the front line of the classroom, so that more students and teachers benefit, and innovation and exploration are quietly happening in the classroom.
Yang Xiaodan is an English teacher at Chongming Middle School, and in the exploration of the "4+3" project of Chongming Middle School's close-knit education group, she descended to the member schoolMinde No. 1 Middle School, starting from the preparatory class and leading the class until the third year of high school. "The lack of articulation between school segments is a barrier to our basic education stage. The exploration of high school teachers sinking to junior high school has actually begun before the establishment of the group, and Yang Xiaodan's '4+3' experiment shows that the quality of students' learning in English subjects has improved significantly. Li Yugang, principal of Chongming Middle School, said that in the future, member schools will have more innovations in school philosophy, curriculum setting and backbone teacher training, and build bridges between school sections so that more children can become talents in the "one-stop". In addition, the member schools of the Small Junior High Schools in the Group will continue to innovate and cooperate in the four key projects of administrative cadres, backbone teachers, innovative talents and the integration of moral education.
The Chongming District Institute of Education Experimental Alliance is an innovative school running model by the Chongming District College of Education in conjunction with a kindergarten, a primary school and two middle schools. In the past concept, the teaching and research staff were the "old masters" of the discipline, responsible for leading the disciples, researching the subjects, and solving difficult problems. However, in the new Chongming District Education College Experimental Alliance, the teaching and research staff are also front-line teachers, walking into the front-line classroom and facing the students face-to-face, so that the "old masters" have more intuitive experiences of facing the grassroots, and also benefit students and young teachers.
Zhu Lirong is a physical education teacher and researcher at Chongming District Institute of Education Middle School, two years ago, he and Chen Xinyu, a young teacher of Chongming District Experimental Middle School, paired up with teachers and apprentices, and carried out 3 lessons of classroom teaching practice and teaching and research activities every week, of which 1 class was Zhu Lirong's "water lesson", 2 lessons were "same class" of teachers and apprentices, and the two teachers and apprentices also took the sixth grade basketball large unit teaching as the research carrier and conducted experimental comparative research in the six (1) and six (2) classes.
Whether it is the "water class" of teachers and researchers, the "same class" of teachers and apprentices, or the experimental class, they are actively exploring new models of classroom teaching based on core literacy. Zhu Lirong said: "The participation of teachers and researchers in the grass-roots practice activities at the grass-roots level avoids the disconnection between their own 'knowledge and practice' and 'theory and practice', and can also provide support for the rapid professional development of grass-roots teachers and the solution of difficult problems in teaching." ”
The College of Education has joined hands with small, medium and high schools, and more educational experiments have been carried out smoothly. Not long ago, three ideological and political science teachers and researchers from the Chongming District Institute of Education centered on the same theme and opened a spiraling ideological and political science class in different school sections, from the primary school Daofa class "Getting Rich to Becoming Strong -- Reform and Innovation seeking development" to the junior high school Daofa class "Continuing to Write the Story of Spring -- Persisting in Reform and Opening Up" and then to the high school Ideological and Political Science Class "The Great Reform and Opening Up" to the high school ideological and political science class "Great Reform and Opening Up" .
Fang Yiyan, vice president of Chongming District College of Education, said: "Such an attempt has realized the vertical connection of the 'small-junior-high' three-section ideological and political curriculum, and the integration mechanism between the ideological and political science of the on-campus curriculum and the social resources outside the school. Such an attempt will further enhance the classroom teaching, research and guidance of ideological and political teachers; At the same time, we will create a co-construction and sharing mechanism for the digital platform of high-quality ideological and political course resources. ”
Revitalize high-quality teacher resources
High-quality educational resources need excellent educational talents. Over the years, Chongming has vigorously attracted outstanding educational talents, introducing about 200 teachers every year, and the proportion of graduate students and teacher training students has been continuously improved; The Chongming District Education Bureau has formulated the "Implementation Plan for Strengthening the Development and Incentive of Talents in the Construction of a World-Class Ecological Island (2017-2021)", successively introduced more than 20 famous teachers in the urban area, and continued to do a good job in the training of backbone teachers, effectively driving the growth of more than 200 teachers
Over the years, under the model of "famous schools + new schools", the growth of teachers is also obvious: every time a new school is opened, the teachers of the new school must go to the urban school for at least one semester of full immersion training, and work together to create excellent educational talents in high-quality schools.
Jiangfan Middle School new teachers follow the post training
Jiangfan Middle School in Chongming District, affiliated to Shanghai Xiangming Junior High School, was opened last year. A year before this, the school's new teachers came to Xiangming Junior High School early for immersive on-the-job training, and psychology teacher Zhang Hanyu was one of them. After coming to Xiangming Junior High School, after training, she immediately took up the post of psychological teacher for the four classes of the preparatory grade. From the initial trepidation, worried about the difference in the academic situation of urban and rural students, to mingling with the children later, and successfully recording the parent-child relationship lecture of the parent-teacher conference, to taking the Huangpu District High School Classroom to open a class - Zhang Hanyu said: "Jumping out of the original teaching experience, I have accepted the difficult challenges again and again, and I have also made full preparations for the upcoming new school teaching. ”
The professional training mode of teachers such as the infiltration training of "famous schools" and the teaching of teachers and apprentices has also made the teachers of "new schools" grow rapidly. Over the past few years, one teacher of SIIC Dongtan School has won the 2019 Shanghai Top Ten Chinese Teaching Stars; 1 teacher won the second prize of the 14th National Primary School English Classroom Teaching Excellent Class Exhibition; Four teachers from Jiangfan Middle School participated in the 4th Shanghai Basic Education Young Teachers Teaching Competition and won the third prize and the excellent award, and 10 teachers were selected as the backbone teachers of the seventh round of the district education system; Teachers of Jiangfan Primary School have won 312 awards in various teaching competitions in the city and district...
The close cooperation of the Group Schools has also allowed excellent teachers to flow, and more member schools have benefited from this.
Warbler Kindergarten is a quality kindergarten that has been in existence for 27 years. In 2011, Yingying Kindergarten expanded into one kindergarten and three sites, and took the lead in trying to organize schools, and began to try teacher mobility. The flow of high-quality teachers to rural kindergartens in the group: from the beginning of the flow of only one teacher to the subsequent more and more teachers are willing to "go out", which revitalizes the high-quality teachers in the group and radiates high-quality educational resources outward. Since 2011, Yingying Preschool Education Group has sent 10 kindergarten directors and deputy directors to the whole district, driving the high-quality development of a number of kindergartens.
Education is the foundation of people's livelihood, and on the one end is connected to the needs of economic and social development, and at the other end, it is connected to the people's ardent expectations for high-quality and balanced education. Over the years, Chongming education reform has explored various school-running models, promoted the high-quality and balanced development of urban and rural education, enabled Chongming citizens to "study well" at their doorstep, and brought a real sense of gain to the people.
According to the "14th Five-Year Plan" for education development in Chongming District, in the next five years, the Changxing Island area will also introduce high-quality educational resources from Jing'an District and Huangpu District, and build a new primary school and a middle school; Chengqiao Town will introduce an overseas education group to host a kindergarten and a compulsory education school; The Baozhen area will introduce the basic education group of the relevant schools to host the Chia Tai Secondary School, and realize the wide coverage of high-quality basic education in the three key development areas and the whole school section of the Baozhen area.
