——Zhang Xiaole, a teacher at Daxiang No. 1 Middle School in Shaoyang City
She has been like a day for decades, leaving early and returning late, and her entire youth and energy have been devoted to the cause of education she loves. She takes the three-foot podium as the world for her to gallop, takes teaching and educating people as her lifelong duty, and takes cultivating talented people for the motherland as her greatest honor. She has been rated as "Top Ten Teachers of Yuxi Joint School", "Outstanding Secretary of the Youth League Committee of Yuxi Joint School", "Top Ten Class Teachers of Daxiang District", "Advanced Individual of Moral Education in Primary and Secondary Schools in Shaoyang City" and "The Most Beautiful Moral Education Worker in Daxiang District". She is Zhang Xiaole, a teacher at the No. 1 Middle School in Daxiang District.
Zhang Xiaole, a first-level teacher in middle school, has a bachelor's degree. Born in 1970 in Qingcao Hui Village, Shaoyang County, Zhang Xiaole graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Shaoyang Normal College with excellent grades in June 1993 and was assigned to Yuxi Middle School in Daxiang District. In 2004, due to his outstanding achievements in all aspects, he was transferred to Daxiang No. 1 Middle School, a key middle school in the district. She has been a teacher for 31 years. In 31 years of education and teaching practice, she has always adhered to the concept of "for all students, for all students, all for students". In the past 31 years, she has never physically punished a student, never excluded a bad student, but cared, considerate and loved every student like a loving mother.
Offering love in obscurity, seeing the truth in the ordinary
During the period of serving as the head teacher of class 111 in Yuxi Middle School, the student Cao Gefei's parents died, and he lived with his grandmother, the family conditions were very difficult, and the family could not provide him with a study after the first semester of junior high school. Cao Gefei's tuition for three years, except for the school to give him a part of the reduction, the rest of the rest was paid by Mr. Zhang Xiaole for him, and a total of nearly 600 yuan was paid in advance for three years. After graduating from junior high school, this student went to study mold and still regards Mr. Zhang as his reborn parent, and he is grateful.
Love the class is like a family and work hard, and the heart of the students is full of fragrance
Ms. Zhang has always pursued the principle of "education is no trivial matter, education is everywhere", she is strict with discipline, leads by example, and uses her actions to influence and infect students. In the treatment of students, we do not judge the merits by grades, and give attention and care to every student. Her justice, fairness, sincerity, selflessness and love have won the admiration, affection, respect and closeness of her students. As a result, she received the highest evaluation in every student evaluation of teachers at the school. Many students with problems in the eyes of others have become sunny and positive after Ms. Zhang's careful teaching. There was a girl in the class who was not good-looking, had poor academic performance, and was in a poor family situation, and the student did not have any self-confidence in herself. Mr. Zhang had a heart-to-heart talk with her, communicated sincerely, encouraged her, gave her confidence, and pointed her out the way forward. In order to help students find confidence, she also privately agreed with students to preview the content to be taught the next day in advance, intentionally or unintentionally reveal some topics, so that students can prepare, and let her answer questions in class the next day. The next day, when Teacher Zhang asked her to answer the questions as promised, there was a mocking commotion among the students. Teacher Zhang encouraged her with her eyes, and finally answered in full, and the class applauded. Since then, she has confidence in herself, and her attitude towards learning and life has changed greatly. The list goes on. Some of the students who have been educated by Teacher Zhang have become weak in their hearts, some have become sensible in their mischievousness, and some have been inhibited
Yu introverted and became sunny and cheerful. These "problem students" in the eyes of others, under the careful care of Mr. Zhang, have become cheerful and confident, and they all fly to their own sky with resolute wings. On Teacher's Day 2023, a student sent a message to Mr. Zhang: "Mr. Zhang, I am not your best student, but you are my most respected teacher, on this sacred holiday, your students wish you to be young forever and your wishes come true!" This thank you and blessing made Ms. Zhang feel extremely proud and happy.
躬耕杏坛育桃李，初心如磐谱华章
For a teacher, teaching and research are inseparable. Teaching and scientific research are also a kind of career for Ms. Zhang, in the pursuit of her career, she not only realizes her self-worth, but also contributes to the society, all of which stems from her infinite love for the teaching profession. In the late 90s of the 20th century, she tried and participated in teaching reform and subject research, and successively engaged in "self-study tutoring teaching" and "optimized thinking teaching" and achieved good results. Since 2002, in the research project of "Cultivating Students from Learning to Innovative Thinking Teaching", she has changed the past practice of overemphasizing the proof and calculation of other people's discoveries and inventions in mathematics teaching, and liberated students from exercises and knowledge details. In teaching, instead of blindly giving conclusions, students are allowed to seek conclusions by trying, experimenting, discussing and other methods, so as to cultivate students' intuitive thinking from the development of students' self-confidence and courage, so that students can learn to learn. After several years of research and practice, the project has achieved phased results, and in 2007, it won the third prize of outstanding research achievements in the "Tenth Five-Year Plan" of Hunan Provincial Education Science.
Teacher Zhang Xiaole actively devotes himself to teaching and research, teaching reform practice, concentrating on the study of teaching materials and teaching methods, boldly carrying out experimental teaching reform, forging ahead and constantly innovating. In the long-term experimental teaching practice, many valuable teaching experiences such as "the practice and experience of innovative thinking teaching" and "how to implement innovative education in the classroom" have been summarized, and these experiences can be upgraded to theories. Her paper "Scientific Preparation for Advancing with the Times" won the first prize of Hunan Provincial Education and Teaching Reform and Development Outstanding Achievement, and nearly 10 papers won awards at or above the provincial level. Her courseware "Tangram" won a national award. At the 2008 Shaoyang Junior High School Graduate Evaluation Seminar, her experience speech "General Review Strategy for Mathematics Academic Examination under the New Curriculum" won the warm applause of more than 1,000 teachers attending the meeting and was highly praised by the Municipal Teaching and Research Department.
Over the years, in order to continuously improve her teaching level, in order to be a scholar-type research-oriented teacher, she has continued to learn the relevant knowledge of the new curriculum reform, studied the new teaching methods under the new curriculum standards, and adjusted her teaching plan in a timely manner to try, which has been well received by the majority of teachers, students and leaders. She has participated in the teaching competition of new junior high school mathematics textbooks held by Yuxi Joint School and won the first prize, the second prize of the excellent course "Proportional Line Segments" of Daxiang District Young Mathematics Teachers, the first prize of the high-quality course "Equal Angles of Intersecting Lines" of Daxiang District Young Mathematics Teachers, and the second prize of the provincial "Three Excellence Joint Evaluation" competition "The Power of Rational Numbers".
