The growth of a teacher is a kind of cultivation
To be an excellent and happy teacher
We should cultivate ourselves in the following five aspects
Let's take a look with the editor
01 Cultivate your own image
In many cases, the spiritual appearance of teachers not only hides the temperament of teachers, but also hides the teaching style and educational charm of teachers.
How do teachers present themselves in a good state?
The first is to cultivate clothing. Clothing represents a person's taste, and many times can reflect a person's cultivation.
Teachers' attire should be suitable for the professional field, in line with personal style, and should pay attention to dignified, generous, decent, neat, simple, not to make bells and whistles, not to pursue too flashy and expensive.
The second is to cultivate manners. Teachers should have a cordial and natural expression, a generous demeanor, a solemn and appropriate gesture, no pointing fingers, no bare chests and backs, and not being domineering.
The third is to cultivate a smile. The smile not only reflects the kindness of the teacher, but also shows the infinite power of education.
Teachers should walk into the school, into the classroom, and into the children's inner world with a smile as much as possible, so that the smile can communicate the hearts of children and teachers, and build a warm educational atmosphere.
The fourth is to cultivate the eyes. The eyes are the windows of the soul, and through the eyes can convey feelings. Sometimes, eyes are more affectionate than words.
Fifth, cultivate language. As an important embodiment of the teacher's image, language should strive to be accurate, scientific and rigorous, and not vulgar, clean and neat, not nonsense, fluent, subdued, and not hysterical, and humorous, lively, and not dull.
02 Cultivate your skills
Teachers should cultivate their own skills, such as basic skills of Putonghua, basic skills of textbook analysis, basic skills of classroom teaching, basic skills of home-school co-education, and so on. How do you practice these basic skills?
One is reading. Reading is the best way to learn, and it is the greatest cultivation of these basic skills.
Only by continuing to read can teachers enter the hearts of students and control the classroom with profound professional knowledge, broad humanistic vision, and solid educational skills.
The second is practice. The secret of practice lies in devoting oneself to work, devoting oneself to it, immersing oneself in it, and entering a state of self-forgetfulness, which is not only the most intoxicating time, but also the most enjoyable time, and it is also the greatest consolidation and cultivation of the foundation.
The third is reflection. Teachers should be diligent in reflection and have the courage to reflect, and in continuous reflection, from negation to affirmation, from lessons to experience, from induction to deduction, a solid foundation, and self-reconstruction.
Fourth, research. Teachers' research is the "highway" of teachers' development, the best "track" for teachers' professional growth, and the basic strategy for cultivating teachers' skills.
Fifth, writing. Writing is the output of teachers after reading, the crystallization after practice, the expression after reflection, the results of research, and the accumulation and improvement of teachers' skills.
03 Cultivate your own virtues
To cultivate virtue, teachers should first cultivate a tolerant heart. The sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance. Tolerance is a kind of strength, which reflects the temperament and quality cultivation that an excellent teacher should have.
Teachers' tolerance is not only to embrace all things with an open mind, but more importantly, to treat students with benevolence, not only to tolerate and understand students' wrong behaviors, but also to give meticulous care and support to students in every process of growth.
Second, we need to cultivate a positive mindset. Mentality is very important, mentality determines success or failure, and also determines the state of life. Many people have no career success, depressed life, and do not enjoy professional happiness, all because of their mentality.
Finally, practice good habits. Teachers should strive to cultivate some good habits, such as the habit of managing time, time is the most precious and limited resource, and if you can't manage time, you can't manage your life.
Another example is to cultivate the habit of not procrastinating, to do things vigorously and resolutely, not to drag mud and water, to finish the day's work on the same day, and to do what can be done today, never put it off until tomorrow.
In addition to this, teachers also need to practice self-control. Teachers must have self-control, be strict with themselves, and manage themselves well.
04Cultivate your soul
A teacher with a noble soul is one who has great love in his heart. Teachers guide students, awaken students, and ignite students with love, and at the same time, they can shape their own beautiful souls.
A teacher with a noble soul is as good as water, quiet and indisputable. In work and life, do not blindly compare, do not fall into secular disputes, do not do meaningless battles with others, not only can obtain a happy educational life, but also make your soul fragrant and interesting.
A teacher with a noble soul learns to be alone and is good at being alone. Only by talking to one's own soul and being friendly and alone with oneself can we gain insight into one's own clarity and brightness.
05 Cultivate your health
The importance of health cannot be overstated, and without health, everything else is completely zero.
First of all, be good at regulating your emotions. There are good and bad emotions, and good emotions can infect students and bring them a sunny day.
Second, be as kind to yourself as possible. No matter how busy a teacher is, he or she should leave some time for himself and some leisure to relax; no matter how tired he is, he or she should combine work and rest, pay attention to rest, make appropriate adjustments, and relax and relax.
Again, love life. An excellent and happy teacher is a teacher with interest, who knows how to take a break in his busy life and cultivate his hobbies in the face of complicated work and complicated affairs.
