Chapter 1: Narrative Reasoning
Meet in Red Wuxiang to talk about reading education
Towering Taihang Mountain, I love Red Star Yang. The reading community of the director of the New Education Teachers' Reading Club, on the most beautiful April day, ushered in the first stop of the county education director's reading exchange meeting and work seminar to Wuxiang. The activity attracted the participation of book friends from Tiannan and Haibei, attracted the attention of some county-level education directors in Changzhi area, and attracted the attention of the principals of Wuxiang primary and secondary schools. At the end of the event, I can't help but think about the elements that need to be mastered to plan a successful event!
Theme-led
The theme of this event: Meet in Red Wuxiang to talk about reading education. It aims to attract more experts to lead and guide through exchanges and interactions, promote the steady and long-term development of the New Education Teachers' Reading Club, aim to make strangers in the cloud become fellow travelers who know each other in life, and aim to build an influential growth community of education directors in the country through exchanges, observation and learning, improve thinking, leadership and action, and promote the high-quality development of regional education.
Professional support
This activity was strongly supported and highly recognized by Hao Xiaodong, director of the New Education Network Teacher Learning Center and director of the China Ceramics Association, which not only attracted members of the reading community and book friends of the director, but also invited well-known experts and scholars from all over the country to visit and guide to improve the academic nature of the activity. Li Shiping, Secretary of the Education Working Committee of the Wuxiang County Party Committee, Secretary of the Party Group and Director of the County Education Bureau, Li Dajun, Deputy Director of the County Education Bureau, and principals and principals of county schools participated in the meeting. Tang Yong, Chairman of the Rural Education Experimental Professional Committee of the China Tao Xingzhi Research Association, Vice President of the Sichuan Tao Xingzhi Research Association, and former Director of the Education Bureau of Langzhong City, Sichuan Province, Zhang Meixia, Editor-in-Chief of Shanxi Sanjin Newspaper and Media Group and Director of the Family Education Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Education, Xue Zhanghua, Deputy Director of the Education Committee of the Shanxi Provincial Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party and Deputy Director of the Shanxi New Education Development Center, and more than 10 guests from afar such as the Director of the Education Bureau of Tunliu District and Qin County came from afar to attend the event.
Creative planning
During the lighting ceremony, as Director Li Shiping lit the last reading lamp, there was warm applause in the conference room, which was exciting, warm, solemn, and more responsible. When the reading lamp passed through the hands of each participant, the light illuminated people's faces, and also illuminated the love and dedication to education in their hearts. At this moment, the hearts of every educator were deeply touched, and they felt the sacred mission of being the lamplighter—to light themselves, illuminate others, and pass on the light of knowledge and wisdom.
At the end of the lighting ceremony, we recited Professor Zhu Yongxin's "The Power of Reading" and shared a commitment to bring this light and warmth back to our respective posts and continue to forge ahead on the road of education. Let us work hand in hand, using books as a medium and reading as a bridge, to jointly build an educational environment full of wisdom and love, to light up hope for children's future, and to contribute to the progress of society.
Value leverage
Professor Zhu Yongxin said that the special teacher affects a classroom, the class teacher affects a classroom, the principal affects a school, and the director affects a region. The Secretary for Education's reading is exemplary for all principals, teachers and students. Teacher Hao Xiaodong believes that it is of great significance to form a good atmosphere of advocating knowledge and loving reading, and to promote the improvement of teachers' educational literacy and the construction of a scholarly campus. Director Tang Yong also mentioned at the meeting that reading and promoting reading are more meaningful than anything else. The value of the Director's Reading Community to promote the Director's reading is to help the Director's through reading to establish a broader educational background, build an influential growth community of the Director's Education through reading, enhance thinking, leadership and action, and promote the high-quality development of regional education.
Reading is the most beautiful scenery of education. Let this light shine forever in the hearts of every educator and become an inexhaustible driving force to promote the development of education. The first exchange event was presided over by Director Sun Jiantong, head of the director's reading community, and ended successfully with warm applause and full of hope, and the torch of education will be passed on forever.
When the lights are hung up, the road is lit. When a lamp is hung up, the road to the high-quality development of China's education will be lit.
The successful holding of the New Education Teachers' Reading Club Director's Reading Community Wuxiang Tour is our best start!

Chapter 2 Lesson Observation and Discussion
Thinking visualization: see you and me running in both directions
It has been more than a month since the end of the second lecture of "Courseware Conception and Design in Modern Teaching Media", and one of the students submitted "I don't think the homework needs to be changed" when submitting the assignment has been echoing in my mind, prompting me to keep asking questions, constantly reflecting, and then forming some thoughts.
The assignments for this class are a closed loop. There are three assignments, the first one is a preview assignment, and students complete the courseware production by watching textbooks or videos. After two courses to achieve two upgrades, the first time mainly understood that "the core of courseware production is teaching design", tried to use the five-star teaching method for teaching design, and mastered the operation of basic elements such as pictures, texts, audio, and video in courseware. The second upgrade mainly solves the structuring and visualization of content, and masters the graphics, animations, links and other operations of courseware. If you have more energy to learn, you can also design the beginning and end of wonderful film and television effects.
Introspection is the only way to achieve steady and far-reaching results
Follow-up question 1: Does it need to be constantly modified and upgraded?
Need. In the comparison, we can directly look at the growth point, focus on understanding whether there is any, and whether the method is mastered.
Follow-up question 2: After completing the upgrade, where is the stuck point?
First of all, you must listen carefully and practice diligently. There is a deep chasm between "knowing" and "doing". Practice is the only way to cross this gap.
Knowing that "the core of courseware production is teaching design", how to design a good lesson? There is no fixed way to teach and no fixed way to learn. In just a few tens of minutes, the teacher can only provide a method or a way of thinking, and more needs personal in-depth exploration, such as intensive reading of "Instructional Design in the Pursuit of Understanding", "Primary Teaching Principles" and so on.
Secondly, the copywriting is very pertinent, the thinking cannot be slack, and it needs to be self-summarized and diligent in reflection. In both the upgraded and essential versions of the assignments, there is a learning reflection section. Reflection is like a mirror, seeing the effect of your learning, but also seeing the shortcomings of my teaching.
Third, the difficulty of the assignment is the structuring of the content, the visualization of the text, and the visualization of thinking. I know the common tools for thinking visualization, and I also know how to use PPT or WPS to structure and illustrate content. However, it takes a long time to practice it to be truly proficient.
Follow-up question 3: If I retake this class, what improvements can I make?
First of all, refine the questionnaire, draw user portraits, and clarify the pain points.
Secondly, carefully decompose the difficulties, set up a small bracket, and find the breakthrough point.
Third, strengthen multi-point links to form positive interactions and give more support.
It's wisdom to keep asking questions. On the surface, it is a homework problem, but in essence it points to teaching improvement.
Reflection is a mirror. It not only shows their posture of bowing and practice, but also witnesses their gorgeous turn.
Practice is the only way to discover the unknown
In the practice of bowing, I was moved. 555 of the 824 students submitted their assignments, and from their reflections, I saw the efforts and feelings of the junior teachers, their love for their profession, and their vision for education.
This is the learning reflection of Wang Hui, a primary school Chinese teacher, and the learning effect can be seen in a few words.
Her teaching design is simple but not simple, from the learning catalog of the courseware screenshots, we can see her clear teaching ideas and teaching focus.
From the visual diagrams, we can see that her teaching method permeates the teaching process, grasping the key verbs to retell the story in chronological order. The key points are highlighted, clear at a glance, and the design is concise, the thinking is visualized, and the structure is optimized.
This is the integration of high school history teacher Mengyu, she said-
She practiced "enlightenment and wisdom" in this way, and she made me deeply sigh, "How lucky I would have been if I had been your student back then!"
This is the junior high school information Wu Qun's teacher according to her aptitude, she said-
She cared for the hearts of the children in the Peizhi class in this way, which made me understand "Bacon casts the soul".
There are many, many such "we", like a glimmer of light in the junior class, gathering into a brilliant starry sky, illuminating the way forward for children with their own responsibilities and love, and holding up the hope for the future of Chinese education.
Only by self-reflection can we achieve steady and far-reaching results, and only by practicing can we discover the unknown. We have seen each other's efforts and witnessed the two-way rush of teachers and students. Let us go to the mountains and seas with love!

Chapter 3 Self-Reliance
A happy and complete educational life is so concrete
What is a happy and complete educational life? It is the core concept of new education, and it is the practice of teacher Shi Fengli in teaching practice.
The belief behind her actions is simple, and that is – to make schools and children happy because of her presence. She knows that a person's true happiness is not to gain but to give, and to give must have the ability and strength to give.
Where does strength and competence come from?
On the eve of New Year's Day in 2021, the city of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, where she lives, fully implemented the new education experiment. The spring breeze of the new education experiment has also blown into a rural primary school in the far northwest of Feng County, Heji Primary School in Shouxian Town, Feng County. Principal Wang Guofeng approached her to talk: one of the top ten actions of new education after the Spring Festival - creating a scholarly campus activity, and decided to hand over her to be responsible for the new semester after the Spring Festival. She was ordered in a critical situation, but she also had many concerns: how can the new education work be truly implemented?
Just during the Spring Festival, she was fortunate to see the spring enrollment brochure of the 2021 new network division in the "Zhenxi Teahouse" of Mr. Li Zhenxi, who had paid attention to her, and suddenly felt that her eyes lit up: joining the new network teacher, with the professional guidance of the lecturer, she will definitely be able to solve the immediate difficulties! Since then, the happiness of her educational life has become very concrete.
In order to better promote the school's new education work, she took the related "Whole Book Reading Course" in the spring, and under the guidance of the lecturer Liu Lixian, she studied hungrily. The final assessment was excellent, and he was rated as a "model student", and the school's work of building a scholarly campus was also in full swing, which was praised by the leaders of the county bureau and the brother schools.
In the autumn semester, the school began to implement another major action of new education - creating a perfect classroom activity project. At the beginning of July, Principal Wang once again handed over the important task to her, which was undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge for the teacher! What should I do? Only active knowledge seeking is the key to unlocking the universal work.
In order to do a good job, she decided to go to Chengdu in the summer to participate in the offline co-reading camp held by Xinwangshi in July 2021, because she knew that the place where Xinwangshi focused on it would definitely have a master key that illuminated her dark night! It was also in that co-reading camp that she was fortunate to participate in the charm of the co-reading of Hao Xiaodong, the executive director of Xinwangshi, and was fortunate to listen to the kind teachings of teacher Li Zhenxi, and thus met the education masters and role model students from all over the motherland.
Since then, she has learned that there is a kind of work called volunteering in Xinwangshi, there is a kind of commitment that grows, and there is a kind of cognition called the same size. For the first time, she undertook a summary of the co-reading activity, and for the first time she wrote an appointment manuscript for the weekly report of the new network teacher, which gave her a taste of the power of growth. Therefore, in each subsequent semester, course review, pre-class sharing, course promotion, one-day narration, homework review, course leader, course teaching assistant, ...... She is actively involved in these volunteer work. Behind the step-by-step undertaking is the renewal of the concept of education, and the ordinary volunteer work makes her feel the happiness of growth.
The renewal of her educational concept has also made her more comfortable in the work undertaken by her own unit, and the courses she takes each semester are gradually not only to meet the needs of the work of the unit, but also to meet the needs of her own continuous growth. She often uses her theoretical knowledge and educational technology to help more teachers and students around her witness the achievements of education and teaching, and record their growth footprints.
For more than three years, she has been rated as a "model student" for every course she has taken, and in November 2023, she was hired by the Suzhou New Education Research Institute as a "member of the New Education Network Teacher Learning Expert Database". All of this is an added bonus for joining a new network master to learn.
In the spring of 2024, she served as a teaching assistant for Mr. Li Zhenxi's "Wisdom in Stories". Wherever he goes, Mr. Li "makes people happy because of his presence". At present, Teacher Shi Fengli's educational life is like this: to the light, to chase the light, to become the light. She allows her days to be spent in perceiving and practicing concrete happiness. Full of hard work, poetic dwelling.
