The ideal teacher should be a teacher who is idealistic, passionate and poetic.
If any teacher wants to have high achievements and high standards, he must first have high ideals. Some people abroad have studied the relationship between people's level of ambition and achievement, and the conclusion is that the higher the level of people's ambition, the greater the achievement. As a teacher, after entering the teaching position, you must set a goal for yourself to strive for in your life. Only by setting such a goal can we lock our own actions on this goal, can we constantly enhance our self-awareness and sense of mission, and can we continue to challenge ourselves, otherwise we will take detours and waste time and energy.
There are many similarities and differences between education and other careers. Education is complex and rich in ways that other undertakings do not have, and it requires teachers to be more spiritually and savvy. Some people say that education is a poem, which can be an idyllic poem, an ancient style poem, or a lyrical poem, with a variety of moods and connotations. What is the premise for an educator to understand this poem? is to set a goal for himself: I want to read it. Without the desire and impulse to interpret this poem, you will never read it, and you will never write a wonderful psalm. Makarenko once called his book an "educational poem," and I think it makes sense.
An ideal teacher should be a teacher who is naturally restless and dreamy. Every day of education is new, and each day has a different connotation and theme. Only with a strong impulse, desire, sense of mission, and sense of responsibility can we ask questions, find "trouble" for ourselves, and have a poetic educational life. Poetry is about inspiration, understanding, and impulsiveness, and a true educator should have the character to always look forward to tomorrow. When impulsiveness stops, education ends.
A good teacher must have lofty ideals, constantly set goals for himself to pursue, and at the same time have passion. For a growing teacher, calm thinking is needed, but it is even more important to be passionate. People have to be able to dream. A good teacher should always be with his or her dreams. When there are no dreams in life, the meaning of life is over, and education has no meaning.
02
The ideal teacher should be a teacher who is confident, self-reliant, and constantly challenges himself.
An ideal teacher should be good at knowing himself and discovering himself. Why don't some people in life have passion? Because they can't find their loveliness and greatness. Knowing oneself has been a very profound proposition that human beings have put forward to themselves since ancient times. On the issue of "knowing ourselves", we have long walked into a misunderstanding. Our media and teachers demand that we treat ourselves correctly, so we always depreciate ourselves when we comment, summarize and communicate. Of course, it is okay to depreciate yourself in your interactions, but you must not depreciate yourself in your heart.
A person will never go beyond what he is pursuing, and likewise, a person will never go beyond the evaluation of himself. A person's evaluation of himself is often a sign of whether a person's career can be successful. Self-confidence makes people self-reliant, and appropriate "pride" makes people successful. Only self-confidence can make a person's potential and talent play to the extreme, and only self-confidence can make people get the "peak experience". To cultivate a person is to cultivate his self-confidence, and to destroy a person is to destroy his self-confidence.
The Japanese scholar Honosuke Sakamoto wrote a book about himself, in which there is a story about him: his academic performance in his class was very poor, and he ranked in the top 470 out of a total of 500 students in the grade. But his father was not disappointed, but kept digging for his "spark". Playing chess with his son is aimed at sharpening his mind, and accompanying him to hunt in the mountains, praising him for his keen observation and constantly strengthening his self-esteem. Once you build up your self-confidence, a lot of things come naturally.
Principals should protect teachers' self-confidence, even with pride. As teachers, we should also cherish this self-confidence and not lose it because of a temporary setback. As long as a person's self-confidence is not destroyed, he will be able to succeed. When a person comes to this world, he should have his value, his stage, the role he plays, and the state he has reached. It's just that we often don't realize the value of our existence and don't establish our belief in life. There is a book called "The Five Bodies Are Not Satisfied", which is about a young Japanese man named Otobu Yokuang, who was born without hands and feet, but it is such a person, with his unremitting efforts, who was admitted to Waseda University in Japan and became the author of a best-selling book in Japan. Therefore, I believe that there are two important prerequisites for a person to be successful: one is to pursue success, and the other is to believe that he can succeed.
Any one person can achieve great success, any teacher can achieve great success, it's just that we haven't found the path to success yet.
An ideal teacher should constantly pursue success, design success, and more importantly, hit success. Because people come into the world and don't know what kind of person they will become, only by hitting every dark spot that may succeed can they spark success. It is rare for a teacher to have this or that impulse, to have this or that kind of impact, and to have it commendable. When a teacher stops impacting, it means that he has lost the meaning of life and has lost confidence in his own existence.
03
The ideal teacher should be a cooperative teacher with a charismatic personality.
Cooperation on the basis of competition and competition on the basis of cooperation are the distinctive characteristics of modern society. A teacher who is not good at cooperation will not go far, because this society is a society that needs cooperation. This is true of society, and it is also true of the teaching profession.
The objects of our education, our students, are in a very complex social environment, and they are always subject to multifaceted and multi-layered influences. How well the teacher's influence is exerted depends on the balance of forces. The extent to which a teacher's influence can be successful depends on the level at which the teacher coordinates the efforts of all parties to exert influence on the students. A teacher who can do the job will mobilize thousands of troops to achieve his educational ambitions. There are many teachers who have good personal qualities, but lack the spirit of cooperation and are scheming with other teachers, so such teachers will not be very productive. Cooperation is multifaceted, including teacher-teacher cooperation, teacher-student cooperation, teacher-parent cooperation, teacher-principal cooperation, and teacher-society cooperation.
With regard to cooperation and competition, it is necessary to establish the concept of "win-win." In the past, we often thought that there was only one winner in the competition, so there were certain difficulties in cooperation, and it was more about competition. But in fact, only a win-win situation is a real competition.
04
The ideal teacher should be a teacher who respects his colleagues very much, respects his leadership very much, and is very good at mobilizing all aspects of his growth.
How to become a popular teacher? I used to talk about three elements: one is empathy, two is respect, and three is reciprocity.
The first is empathy.
"Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. "Transposition is the easiest to talk about, but the hardest to do. Transposition is a challenge from a psychological proposition to a philosophical proposition. Philosophers tell us that "this being" can only have "this consciousness", while psychologists say that this cannot be the case, and that "this being" must have "that consciousness". This is very difficult, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will lead to self-centeredness and self-centeredness, and everything starts from the self. We know that too much self-centeredness and too much self-centeredness in life will inevitably lead to conflict. These conflicts can be well resolved by transposition. Therefore, in work and life, our teachers should think more from the perspective of the other party, so that they will not stand in front of the door of the study room to grab time, and will understand and sympathize with others. Such a teacher will be seen as an empathetic teacher. The so-called "empathetic" is to be good at transposition. Transposition does not mean that he does not know his own existence, but at the same time he knows what others need, and will extend a hand of friendship in time when others need it, rather than ignoring the pain of others.
The second is respect.
Respect is a very important psychological need of human beings, and it is also a very high-level need, which arises after the satisfaction of people's survival, physiological and other needs. Sukhomlinsky said that self-esteem is the most sensitive corner of the human psyche. Once a person's self-esteem is bruised, he will compete with you with ten times the madness and a hundred times the strength. A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. Therefore, teachers must respect the personality of others, especially students.
The third is reciprocity.
Our teachers should learn to give in their dealings with others. In a common activity, everyone can share the results of the activity and get corresponding rewards in the activity. There is a theory of social interaction in the West that the balance of interpersonal interactions and relationships between people depends on psychological evaluation. Everyone has to pay in the process, and that's what is called cost. At the same time, everyone can get something in the process of communication, which belongs to profit. If the interaction is rewarding, he will continue it, and if it is not worth wasting a lot of time and energy, he will stop it. However, some people often do not see what they have gained when looking at the question of whether they have suffered or taken advantage of the educational process, which leads to various imbalances in communication.
A good communicator, an ideal teacher, should be able to speak a little bit of dedication. We advocate such a spirit and a realm, because behind such a spirit, such a realm, is that you can get something in return. All efforts will be rewarded, and all efforts will be rewarded. The process of communication is actually a process of balancing interests. On the surface, it seems that the gains and losses are temporary, but in fact, the loss of long-term benefits is actually more than worth the losses. I think that if a teacher really does the above three things, he will definitely win the respect of the teacher group, the respect of the principal, the respect of the students, and the respect of the parents.
05
The ideal teacher should be a teacher who is full of love and respected by students.
The education of love is the source of the power of education and the foundation of educational success. As Mr. Xia Chengzun said, "Education without emotion and love is like a pond without water." Without water, it cannot be called a pond. Without emotion, without love, there is no education. "We have a lot of teachers who teach day in and day out year after year, but he never finds joy in teaching, and there is never a passion of love in his heart. Such teachers will never be able to succeed in education, and they will never be able to grasp the true meaning of education.
When I was teaching at the university, when students left the university, I asked them to leave a message, and the one I wrote the most was: Discover the inner charm in your life and your profession. The fundamental thing for each of us to survive and thrive is his profession. Whether you are tired of it or like it is crucial to the development of the whole psyche, to your sense of well-being and fulfillment. If you don't love this profession, this profession won't love you. If you don't love the teaching profession, you can't have fun with it.
We used to say, "If you have two buckets of food at home, you won't be the king of children." "Dealing with children is really a very annoying thing, every day you will encounter such and such difficulties, every day you will encounter such and such troubles. But I said that only big troubles can have great fun, and big problems can lead to great achievements. If you dig into the teaching profession, you will see that it is really beautiful. It can be said that there is nothing more beautiful in the world than the teaching profession.
Teachers should be good at discovering the joy of education, because we embrace a new sun every day, and we are facing some children with different personalities every day, all of whom have unlimited futures. Among them there may be future political leaders, there may be future Nobel laureates, there may be all kinds of possibilities. As long as you take good care of them, nurture them, as long as you help them regain their self-confidence, as long as you help them tap their potential, their energy is limitless and will far exceed your imagination. How many times will a hard work give you a reward!
Teaching is a never-ending career that can bring human creativity, imagination, and all their energy and wisdom to the limit. Isn't this worth loving? Future educators should devote all their strength to loving students and education. Only love can win love. If you love education, education will love you, and you can have fun in your career. If you love your students, students will love you, and you will forget the outside world and the troubles of life in your interactions with them.
There is also a lot of beauty about the teaching profession, such as a few months of vacation a year, and you can do a lot of what you want to do in such a time and space. Engels once said that the greatest state of development of a person is to be able to have the most leisure time to engage in what he wants to do. As a teacher, you can maximize your success and enjoy life. In this regard, there is no profession that surpasses that of a teacher. As long as you can discover and tap into the beauty that pervades the teaching profession, you will have an impulse every day, and you will see that every student is a beautiful flower that is about to bloom. Yes, the teaching profession may never reach the top of the professional rankings, but I believe that an excellent and ideal teacher will definitely rank it at the forefront in his own heart! Therefore, I think that teachers should strive to tap the inner beauty of the teaching profession, and firmly believe that what they are engaged in is a career that affects people's lives and is worth fighting for. In this way, you will love it and devote yourself to it.
A very important manifestation of a teacher's love for students is to believe in each child. Every child has great potential, and every child's potential is different. Only by having a unique vision, discovering the potential of each child, and encouraging children to continue to explore independently, can their talents be fully developed.
The love of teachers for their students is also reflected in the democratic nature of education. The spirit of democracy in our education is not enough, teachers speak and students listen, teachers order students to obey, and there is too little dialogue between teachers and students on an equal footing. We often complain that there is still some lack of democracy in society, but the basis of social democracy is the democracy of the school, and without the democracy of the school, there can be no democracy in society. The cultivation of the spirit of democracy should begin at an early age. Democracy is embodied in many ways, including the way teachers speak and communicate with students, which may seem like a small thing, but it embodies a kind of democracy. Chinese students sit upright in class, and when teachers ask questions, students answer in unison. In the eyes of foreign educators, these are inconceivable - how can a single question be answered in unison?
Many of our teachers do not have love, and instead of playing the role of teaching and educating people, they take on the task of "educating the police"; instead of affirming their achievements, they are discovering their shortcomings. When the children are very normal and very good, the teacher does not affirm them and motivate them, but "magnifies" his problems. Therefore, I feel that many of us teachers play the role of an "executioner". In the hands of our teachers, we don't know how many Nobel Prize winners we have lost, we don't know how many Lu Xun and Guo Moruo have lost, and we don't know how many very good talents we have lost. I have always believed that a very important premise of education is love. Only on the basis of love will the teacher devote all his strength, and will dedicate his youth, wisdom, and uncomplaining to the children and to the cause of education.
The author of the essay "Making Sentences with Love" once affectionately described teachers as:
I came from the old nursery rhymes,
The long nursery rhyme is soaked with the notes of love;
I come from the footsteps of youth,
The footprints of walking and groaning are sprinkled with the sunshine of love;
I come from the garden of life,
The flowers are covered with the dew of love.........
In this life, I will be destined to be busy for love,
Like a nesting swallow under the eaves.
Let's be busy with love and make sentences with love
06
The ideal teacher should be a teacher who strives for excellence and is innovative.
One of the biggest differences between an educator and a pedagogue is that an educator has a spirit of excellence and innovation. Many of our parents, when choosing a teacher and class for their children, like to choose an older "experienced" teacher. I said to them, don't do this, educators have no age. In recent years, the vast majority of the top ten outstanding teacher candidates in the country were born in the fifties and sixties, and many of them are very good and very young at the same time. A teacher is not a teacher who teaches for many years, but how many years he teaches with his heart. For some people, he teaches for a year, and then repeats it for five years, ten years, or even a lifetime, and for others, he actually teaches for five years. A person who has actually taught for five years has a different achievement than a person who has taught for a year but repeated it for a lifetime.
An excellent educator should be a person who constantly explores and innovates, and should be a person who has a heart for education. The reason why a person can succeed is largely because he is a person with a heart. If you have the heart, you can succeed, and if you don't have the heart, you can't succeed. Although we sometimes say that there is no intention to plant flowers and flowers, and there is no intention to plant willows and willows into shade, after all, most of the cases are intentionally planted flowers spontaneously, and willows and willows are not shaded without intention. We must not forget this basic law, and we must not base our success on unpredictable luck and chance.
That's why I said, if you don't believe me, you should start writing an education diary today, be a caring person, and seriously summarize the gains and losses of education. How did you do a successful thing today? What did you experience? What feelings did you have? How did you resolve a contradiction that occurred today? How did you feel about a setback today? You recorded it as it was. Five years later, the best things will be the best books. Those things that flicker "sparks" will have a strong spiritual shock to the reader.
The problem now is that many of us, excited and excited, did not put it into writing, and these "sparks" soon disappeared. To be a caring person, you can do anything. Under the premise of having a heart, you can string all kinds of pieces into the most beautiful costumes. Originally, the fragments seemed to have no value on their own, but in fact it was not because they had no value, but because their value was not discovered and not used. If you combine them, they will shine brightly. Therefore, the ideal teacher should be a person with a heart. When primary and secondary school teachers engage in educational and scientific research, they should start by recording educational phenomena, their own feelings, and their own thinking. String these strings of "pearls" together, and it is a very beautiful necklace. Such education and research should be encouraged. Of course, this does not preclude our teachers and experts from cooperating and conducting some theoretical discussions, but after all, the educational scientific research of primary and secondary schools is not the same as the research of university teachers. I really appreciate the fact that teachers keep an educational diary and write down their experiences in a notebook. Perhaps this kind of book can become a masterpiece in the "Chinese Teacher's Diary Series" in the future.
Our teachers should also create a distinctive brand and make their own flag. To be honest, we have many teachers now, including many outstanding teachers and special teachers, who do not have their own characteristics. When we select outstanding teachers and special teachers, we often look at the number of papers he has published, but in fact we rarely explore his unique side. I think that only by really establishing your own style, your own system, can you become an educator. "Style is people. "Only by forming a style and system can we become everyone.
07
The ideal teacher should be a teacher who is diligent in learning and constantly enriching himself.
Diligent learning and self-enrichment are the foundation of being a good teacher. An ideal teacher, a teacher who wants to be a teacher for everyone, and a teacher who wants to become an educator, must start from the most basic and read more books in a down-to-earth manner. In Suzhou, we have organized a training course for famous teachers and principals, in addition to various trainings such as "dialogue with masters", a very important one is to read famous books. If you don't read the Analects, Tao Xingzhi, Dewey, or Sukhomlinsky, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to become an educator. I am currently compiling a set of "New Century Education Library", in which the teacher's series includes not only the most classic and excellent overseas educational textbooks, but also the essence of famous educational novels, educational essays, educational aphorisms, educational ramics, educational stories, and educational characters at home and abroad, as well as a large number of humanities, nature, and social science books that broaden teachers' horizons. We hope that it can become the first set of systematic reading books for teachers in China, and become a spiritual home for the growth of excellent teachers.
Don't think of educators as mysterious, every teacher can become a very influential educator in China, and even go abroad and become famous abroad. Everyone can do it, the key is whether to be a person with a heart, whether to be persistent, whether there is perseverance. Of course, we know that educators must have the corresponding knowledge structure, educational philosophy, cultural literacy, moral literacy, craft literacy, etc.
I feel that the most important task of a teacher is to learn. It is impossible for any educator to leave the educational wealth of previous generations. In a certain sense, it can be said that we are using the language of our times and our life experience to communicate with the masters of the past and explain our understanding of education. In fact, many educators just apply other people's wealth to their own educational practice and put forward a lot of theoretical resonance. You have to explore it yourself and find the theoretical pillars and resonance. Nowadays, many teachers can't find the feeling, and they can't find the "north". As a teacher, you are different from other experts and need knowledge in all aspects. It is difficult for a teacher with a wide range of knowledge to truly give students a charisma. The younger the child, the higher his expectations of the teacher, and the more he treats the teacher as an encyclopedia. In their eyes, the teacher is omniscient, and if the teacher does not know anything, he will be very disappointed. Therefore, teachers should improve their knowledge structure.
Teachers should also strive to understand the child's world. The adult world is different from the children's world, and the children's world has unique colors, melodies and connotations. Teachers should share their joys and sorrows, grow with them, and be part of them. Teachers need to have a very young heart to be able to communicate with them, to understand them, to be able to get their love.
However, we have always advocated the dignity of teachers and encouraged a sense of distance between teachers and students. There are many good things and bad things in traditional Chinese education, and it is not good to put too much emphasis on the dignity of teachers. Teachers should also have three qualifications: academic qualifications, experience, and experience. These "three calendars" are an organic connection. It is not necessary to travel all the famous mountains and rivers, and the value of traveling thousands of miles is the same as reading thousands of books. We should encourage teachers to become people who explore nature, love nature, love life, and love human beings, and cultivate such a state of mind in order to educate children well.
08
The ideal teacher should be a teacher who cares about the fate of mankind and has a sense of social responsibility.
Education is not only to give children knowledge, but more importantly, to cultivate students' positive life state, with a positive state of mind and a positive attitude towards life. Education itself is life. We often blame society, it's not, that's not good, we curse corruption, we curse autocracy, we curse dictatorship, we curse relationships, we curse all sorts of things. But it seldom occurs to us that what we curse is largely shaped by ourselves. To some extent, it can be said that education is the root of a sick society, so teachers should not shirk their responsibilities.
As an educator, as an ideal teacher, he should pay great attention to society, to the fate of mankind, and to cultivate students' sense of social responsibility. It is only the teacher's sense of social responsibility that can shape the student's sense of social responsibility. Teachers need to discuss issues such as the environment and population with students in the classroom to arouse children's attention to these issues. If teachers care about rankings and scores all day long, how can children be broad-minded? The world of the school and the outside world should be closely connected, but now "the outside world is very exciting", and school life is very helpless. Therefore, in order to make students' lives better and to make the future society more ideal and more perfect, we must first purify our campus and make our students have the spirit of humanistic care. Sukhomlinsky said that when a child leaves school, he brings not only grades, but more importantly, his pursuit of the ideal of the future society.
I think that's what our education, our ideal teachers, should do. In other words, everything we do, we are preparing for the future. Our education is for the education of the future, and it is an education that focuses on the child's life. Only in this way can we have a strong sense of social responsibility. Therefore, the sense of social responsibility of principals and teachers affects students' sense of social responsibility, and the democratic and educational methods of the campus directly affect the children's way of life. I want our teachers to pay serious attention to the world outside the window.
09
The ideal teacher should be a tenacious and strong teacher who does not stoop to setbacks.
Teachers live in different environments, some in key schools, some in non-key schools, some in urban areas and some in rural areas. Children also have different backgrounds and foundations. Some people often complain: how did I get to work in such a crappy school? This sentiment is understandable, but I would say that all environments can produce educators, and all hardships can produce educators. Maybe you lead this school well so that these children can develop in the best way, and that's your mission. The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds and muscles.
In fact, the good or bad environment is relative, not absolute. In a well-known key school, it has more norms and may have less freedom; And in a little-known school, people's creativity may be brought into greater play.
I often say to our good principals, you can be proud, but don't get carried away, because it's not your teaching skills that are particularly high, it's your students who make you, your school, your teachers. To be honest, wherever you put the children in these key schools, they will play well, because in years of education, they have developed the habit of self-learning, self-education, and self-development.
What really makes a difference is that you have to educate poor students well and manage poor schools well. Therefore, I ask our excellent schools to help or merge a weak school, otherwise we will not see any real efforts of the principals and teachers of those excellent schools. Someone said, "A teacher like me can only go to a good school to teach good students." I can't say that there is no truth in what he said, but I think that a teacher who only teaches students well is not a good teacher, and a school that only teaches students well is not necessarily a very good school.
Of course, this is not a universal value in society, but a value that I have as an education officer. What I need is equality in education, and I need to create equal opportunities for every child, so I spend a lot of energy to transform and support relatively backward schools. One of the purposes of why Jiangsu has built so many key schools is to achieve the goal of eliminating key schools by strengthening them. As for the development of weak schools, I think that education administrative departments at all levels should give it an important place to consider. Children are all born equal, should have equal opportunities for education, education should give parents the right to choose, should give children the right to choose freely. What the government should do is not to prohibit choice, but to do its best to create a relatively level playing field for every child.
I think perseverance is very important for a teacher's growth. Why? Because the vast majority of people get discouraged and stop when they reach the last ten miles, while those who are truly successful will persist in walking the last ten miles. It depends on perseverance and perseverance. There are many, many people who fall short by retreating from the brink of success. Of course, we can't hope that all teachers can become ideal teachers, that is never possible, because people are different, and people's values are also different. Some people want to be vigorous, they want to be impressive, they want to be respected, they want to be very accomplished educators, and some people want to be plain and quiet. We can't force every teacher to have such an ideal and pursuit as I mentioned, but I think that if a society does not have such ideal teachers, if a campus does not have such ideal teachers, it will be a kind of sorrow, which is not only the sorrow of society, but also the sorrow of education.
Education needs ideals, and only by burning the flame of ideals can we make our entire nation strong and cohesive, and can we gain a foothold in the competition with all countries in the world. We should encourage our teachers not to give up at any time, and our schools should be encouraged not to give up at any time. Because we are close to the edge of success, we have pursued it, and there should be results. Education is an eternal cause, and the pursuit of one generation of teachers, two generations of teachers, and the pursuit of all teachers will ignite the spark of ideals on campus, so that our nation will ignite the spark of ideals. I hope that China's education is full of ideals! Our teachers and principals are full of ideals, passion and poetry!
