The horse cuts down, clapses side by side, raises the knee and spreads... Accompanied by sonorous and powerful slogans, the children, under the guidance of the teacher, raised their legs, punched, and palmed together... One move and one style, clean and imposing. Recently, Liu Jiangtao, a full-time physical education teacher and art teacher Jiang Guangping, a full-time physical education teacher from Junchuan Town Primary School in Suixian County, delivered classes to Shichijo Mingde Primary School, 20 kilometers away from the town, and were warmly welcomed by the teachers and students of the school.
According to Zou Binting, principal of the town's central school, there are five public primary and secondary schools in Junchuan Town, including two primary schools in the town and two in the village. In March 2023, under the auspices of the town center school, Junchuan Town Primary School and Shichijo Mingde Primary School, Junchuan Town No. 2 Primary School and Gaomiao Primary School respectively formed a teaching alliance to promote urban-rural integration in the form of teacher sharing and complementary advantages, jointly build and share, achieve balanced education, resolve the contradiction between supply and demand, and run every school on the doorstep.
Edutainment and fun. In Mr. Jiang Guangping's art class, the exquisite courseware let nature into the classroom, and the children were immersed in it. Later, Teacher Jiang distributed paper, brushes, scissors and other teaching aids to the children, and taught them hand-in-hand handicraft skills. With whimsy beating at their fingertips and colorful colors outlined on white paper, these country children feel the wonder of imagination and the joy of drawing in the process of using their hands and brains.
"Sharpen the flowing jade milk, steam and boil the clear spring." The labor practice class taught by Gong Caiyun, a teacher at Shichijo Mingde Primary School, was very lively. Selecting beans to bubble beans, grinding beans into pulp, filtering and boiling pulp, brine pulping and pressing and forming, pieces of warm and moist tofu are born in the hands of students. "The labor practice class has exercised the children's hands-on ability, and the intangible cultural heritage of tofu has been passed on in the hands of the children. We will send this school-based curriculum to the town so that the children in the town can also experience the fun of making tofu. Bao Dejun, the principal of the school, introduced that Qijo Mingde Primary School is located in Baojiaxiang Village, with less than 100 students, and a teacher concurrently serves on multiple subjects, and after forming a teaching alliance with the town center primary school, rural children can experience professional teaching, which will play a positive role in the all-round development of left-behind children.
At Gaomiao Primary School in Junchuan Town, teachers from Junchuan Town No. 2 Primary School not only brought wonderful lessons, but also prepared beautiful gifts for the children. Liu Yong, the principal of the school, said that the education alliance mechanism has broken the distance between rural schools and town schools, allowing rural schools to fully open classes, and children in the mountains have also enjoyed high-quality educational resources, and left-behind children have also had happy dancing, happy singing, and can also draw beautiful patterns...
