The first chapter, "narrative reasoning" and "scale", determines the "height"
On the afternoon of April 30, when Principal Deng Xiaojun of Songzishi Xiaoxiao and Principal Chen Jiaquan of Zhengzhou High-tech Zone completed the handover of the flag under the witness of Dr. Hao Xiaodong, it showed that from the reception of the flag in Qinhuangdao on June 2 last year to the special few days of preparation at this time, a year of hard work has finally been completed.
I still remember that at noon a week before the opening of the meeting, I was eating in the cafeteria, and a certain teacher said to me, Secretary Huang, I have lost weight recently. I also happily replied: No, I have been in good shape. I happened to meet a female teacher cooking, I teased her, you beat more than me. The female teacher seemed to be very wronged, and seemed to be afraid that I would misunderstand her, so she hurriedly explained that I cooked for my colleague. I never thought that our female teacher was wisdom, and without thinking, someone replied next to her: The secretary's stomach is full of thoughts, and he can't even put his food in.
This sentence, I, who have always been agile, couldn't think of a better sentence, so I could only laugh "hehe".
Whether the body is emaciated or not, I don't know. However, the insomnia of the week before the meeting was true. Insomnia to the point of writing articles and not being able to fall asleep until tired, can only fill this space by chasing dramas. It wasn't until after this meeting that I really understood that there were "big things" and "concerns" in my heart, so I had this tossing and turning.
Time is the best "recorder", and the best moments are fixed in the memory of the "strivers". At 7:30 a.m. on the 29th, more than 400 new education colleagues from all over the country walked into the campus, picked up their mobile phones, and observed the campus; at 10:30 a.m. on the 29th, Professor Ren Mingman, Professor Wang Tianrong, Director Lin Zhongling and other forward-looking and innovative academic reports led us to the "bright side"; at 2:30 p.m. on the 29th, 10 "curriculum reform principals" from all over the country, including Wu Ge, the principal of Liangshuijing School in Yibin, Sichuan, and Lin Zhongling, an expert, unveiled the "ideal classroom" for us The new curriculum reform "password" represented by the representative.
At 8:00 a.m. on the 30th, all the representatives went to the four sub-venues of Songzi Shi Elementary School, Songzi Shi Xiaocheng South Campus, and Songzi Shi Junior High School to witness the school-based practice of Songzi curriculum reform and the lesson examples of famous teachers, and the "voice outside the window" presented a variety of curriculum reform samples;
At the venue, a teacher who had participated in many offline activities of the new network teacher sighed that he did not expect today's seminar to be so popular, and the seats were full and he was watching the whole process. The teacher recorded this "grand occasion" on the spot with his mobile phone. How "charming" is the charm of the new education and new network teachers? Harbin in the northeast, Inner Mongolia and Gansu in the northwest, Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east, Hainan and Fujian in the south, Tengchong in Yunnan in the southwest, Sichuan, Shanxi, Henan, and Jiangxi in the central and western regions, as well as the teams in Suixian County, Hubei Province, have rushed across the mountains and seas because the light of the "ideal" illuminates them.
The new network master is a group of "people of the same size". This "size" can be "measured" by ideals, beliefs, perseverance, innovation, and sharing. The "family members" of the new network teacher told us with actions that traveled thousands of miles and did not care about gains and losses that the "scale" of new education can be oriented, quantitative, proportional, ordered, classified, calibrated, and patterned.
The "scale" of the new network teacher is the height of running a school under the new education concept.
To enhance the "hard power", the municipal party committee and municipal government have invested nearly 5 million yuan in transforming the school environment.
To enhance the "soft power", the Sunac project of the new education experiment has been comprehensively improved and transitioned, and the teachers stand in the center of the ideal classroom.
Optimize the "service force", the party and government office and the logistics service center, fully consider every detail of the conference affairs, and make every effort to ensure the peace of mind and peace of mind of the conference affairs.
Condense the "power of action", the Student Development Center and the Teacher Development Center fully tap resources and mobilize all forces, so that students can be accustomed to seeing, so that the spirit of teachers can be seen, so that the details of education can be seen, so that the attitude of parents can be seen, and the educational environment can be seen. Even the online car-hailing driver, who is responsible for the pick-up and drop-off expert, can make the image of Songzi visible.
Just tonight, 11 of the 14 teachers who took on the responsibility of the on-site demonstration class passed on the "narrative" of reflection after class to my eyes. When I read their grinding stories, I was only moved and grateful.
Just today, the city leaders and bureau leaders who care about us have sent messages to win an opportunity, create a consummation, present an education, and show a loose zi.
I know very well that if there is no such opportunity to give us a "scale" to benchmark the whole country, we will not be able to have such a new "height".
The future is promising, and we need to work harder.
In the second chapter, the homework of "class observation and discussion" becomes a "bridge" to support each other's growth
This semester's Initial Vocational Course has designed a section on home-school communication, with a total of two classes, namely the methods and strategies of home-school cooperation and effective communication, and the case study of home-school cooperation and effective communication. In the process of designing and assigning homework, I repeatedly thought about how to turn homework into a "bridge" between lecturers and students, understand the real confusion and problems of students, enhance the interactivity of the course, and let more students be seen? Therefore, in the design of the two assignments, I set the following questions: Tell me what help you would like to receive from the lecturer and the course team in terms of home-school cooperation and effective communication? Tell me about the third course "Methods and Strategies of Home-School Cooperation and Effective Communication" How can it help you, and if you have any questions about home-school communication, you need help and support from the lecturer during the course. There are more than 800 students in the initial course, and there are more than 500 assignments submitted each time, and I can't read all the assignments one by one, but in addition to grading nearly 100 assignments, I spend more than four hours each time, almost browsing the answers to the last questions of all the assignments. First, seize the opportunity and craft carefully. Most of the questions raised by the students in the assignments were originally covered by me in the course, and a few of the questions were not covered in the course, so I flipped through the relevant books and downloaded the papers to study to supplement and improve the course content. Since many of the students come from schools in rural areas and at the junction of urban and rural areas, many teachers have raised the following questions: How can children left behind and raised by their grandparents achieve effective home-school communication? Seeing these problems, my heart hurts shallowly, on the one hand, I feel sorry for the children who lack parental care, and on the other hand, I feel sorry for the sincere and responsible teachers. At the same time, I found that due to my lack of experience in township schools, I did not dare to give advice to everyone at will, so I asked Teacher Lan Mei for advice. Teacher Lan Mei said: "There is a baby between home and school, we must focus on the child, and our work is always based on the premise of the child." We want to let children have light in their eyes, let parents see hope, and provide support to parents." It turns out that home-school co-education is not to study parents, but to see children. Combined with the guidance of Ms. Lan Mei, I answered questions during the course, and the teachers said that they benefited a lot. The process of answering questions is not only the process of meticulous learning of the curriculum, but also the process of seizing the opportunity to grow myself. 2. Build a platform to learn from each other. Through reviewing the assignments, I read a lot of cases, saw how the teachers touched the students with their sincerity, moved the parents, and more coincidentally, the problems raised by some students could be solved through the cases of other students. For example, Teacher Chen Lingling's exchange allows everyone to see that it is also a rural school, but it can win the respect of parents, obtain the support of parents, and finally form a joint force between home and school; Teacher Wu Qun talked about his own empathy, understood the problems and difficulties of parents, and resolved the contradictions between home and school through sincere communication; Teacher Zhou Xinyu introduced the children who do not answer hundreds of questions and do not answer the phoneWith the persistence and efforts of Teacher Zhou, how did the parents who did not allow them to visit their homes become friends with the teachers who talked about everything...... In addition, I also presented some excellent assignments in the course, some of which are methods and strategies of home-school communication, some are successful cases, and some are puzzles and problems that trigger common thinking...... We have built a platform for homework display and interaction, and through various forms of communication and sharing, we have solved the confusion and problems of students and realized mutual learning and progress.
3. Clarify the rules in combination with cases. I found that most of the questions raised in the homework were similar, such as what to do if parents do not cooperate, what to do if parents shirk their responsibilities, what to do if there is silence in communication, and how to communicate with parents about their children's problems...... There are similar reasons behind these problems, that is, the "Tao" of home-school communication. If we understand the underlying logic of home-school communication, then the "technical" problems of methods and strategies can be easily solved. Based on the questions raised by the teachers and the cases that appeared in the homework, I repeatedly emphasized the six principles of home-school communication: equality and respect, proactiveness, careful planning, children's position, flexibility and diversity, and mutual assistance and win-win. I inspire everyone to think deeply about the case, discover the rules behind the case, and try to sort out the action steps. With our joint efforts, home-school communication has become list-based and visualized: for example, the five-step method of communicating children's problems, the four steps of feedback on children's progress, the three "identifications" of private messages, and the five links of handling complaints and suggestions...... These principles, rules and action steps make home-school communication rule-based, simplify complex problems, and concretize abstract situations, so that we can face home-school communication work more easily. A small change in the design of the homework has made the homework play a greater role in displaying, communicating, sharing and improving, and the homework has become a "bridge" between the lecturer and the students, and between the students and the students, supporting us to grow together!
The third chapter, "Self-Determination and Achievement", inscribes words in the process of life jointing
(a)
He has been volunteering since the first day he joined the new network division in 2019. From punch-in reviews to assignment review, from reading history review to weekly newspaper editing, from review and collation to course assistant, all the way to 2021, he began to think about what else he could bring to everyone in addition to the regular work of volunteers.
Reading "Zhu Yongxin Talks about Education", the first paragraph of the article moved him a lot:
"I've reached an age where I know it's not enough to live on my own writings. Unless I can make a difference and impact on people's lives. ”
This is a quote from management guru Xiong Peter who encouraged his students, and Mr. Zhu drew strength from it, resolutely stepped out of the ivory tower, led a group of actors, and created a new education that affected hundreds of thousands of Chinese teachers.
Isn't this exactly the embodiment of the Confucian spirit of "people can propagate the Tao"?
Although he has not even published a monograph, for more than 500 days and nights, Candlelight has traveled through more than 100 educational monographs, leaving more than 70 thousand words of thinking, and the life narrative with his own learning as the main line has also won the favor of the jury and was selected as the "Top Ten Life Narratives".
He wondered: As a teaching assistant for a picture course, can he use his slight advantage to give new students a little inspiration, avoid the "minefield", and avoid detours.
So he focused his learning on the study of picture books, using himself as a mirror, mixed his own experiences and insights, and posted them on the official account to share them in the learning circle. He has shared more than 60 picture book articles, which have attracted the attention of many fans, and he has seen the value of volunteers in the sincere messages of Xueyou.
He is Wu Yaoda, a student who joined Xinwangshi in 2019, an ordinary teacher from a rural school!
(b)
When he was working as a psychology teaching assistant, he found a more serious phenomenon, and there were many cases of plagiarism and perfunctory assignments. To put it in layman's terms, it doesn't really happen to learn.
How can learning really happen?
The "Book of Changes" is a phrase that says: "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful, and if you are poor, you will be able to do it for a long time." "How can we not be conservative, innovate and innovate, and open up a new situation?
The "truth-seeking community" in Palmer's The Courage to Teach also inspired him: if we can work together to explore a common theme, and participate interactively and actively through language and writing, then there will be an opportunity for our cognition to continue to deepen and continue to develop?
If you can learn from the check-in mode of the prince's micro-course, set up 100 psychological questions related to the preview homework, break through one level every day, focus on the key issues of synchronous preview, and discuss with each other, won't learning really happen?
He also selected a review team, actively commented and pinned it to the top every day, and posted the review summary and excellent check-in to the course group, so that the excellent could be seen, and at the same time, the effective check-in was also included in the proportion of the performance evaluation. The activity of the check-in group is getting higher and higher, with more than 600 students participating in the small check-in sharing, and nearly half of the students participate almost every day. Plagiarism has also dropped to single digits.

Where does the endogenous motivation of teachers break through?
He clearly knows that only the growth of the "three specializations" model is the key to unlocking the code of burnout.
The mulberry elm is not late, and the moon is like the wind. At the age of more than half a hundred, he has taken on the role of host of the Rural Famous Teacher's Studio, which is also a platform for young teachers to grow for the second time! How to promote the members to gather into the system of "professional reading, professional writing, and professional communication"?
While following the lecturer Hu Xinxin and her Yue teaching and research team to study the "subject research", he launched the trilogy of "visit + training + excellent course".
A series of activities such as artistic talent competitions, teaching competitions, essay competitions, and homework design are also in full swing, and grades have also become a way to motivate. He recommended that everyone read "100 Suggestions for Teachers" and "How to Understand Students", so that the high-quality output can be followed strongly.
At the same time, he also aimed at the labor course that had just been launched, and integrated the content of folk handicraft inheritance with the art school-based curriculum, and the research direction of the subject was found. With the help of the "Primary and Secondary School Topic Research" course of Xinwang Division, the team's project framework was also preliminarily presented.
Zhao Heng, a member of the studio who came back from the training in the city, said: Mr. Wu, many of your views are more profound than those old experts, we should really study hard!

He is also the backbone of the expert team of the Xinwang Shiwangcang County Xia Learning Center. Last year, when my mother-in-law was critically ill, as soon as my mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital, she received a call from the old director and director of the offline learning center, Xiang Ronggui, asking him to preside over the co-reading of Kowloon Primary School.
For a whole week, he picked up "Suggestions for Teachers" and "Sukhomlinsky Pedagogy" again to study, and consulted with Zheng Jianye, a teacher who had studied Su Weng's fruitful work, and asked Feng Meiyi, a lecturer who had been in charge of this course. The first draft of the handout came out, and we continued to solicit the opinions of the offline expert team to ensure pertinence and practicability.
In March, the flowers bloom. The offline learning center visited Kowloon Primary School as scheduled and read "Advice for Teachers" with young teachers. Chen Tingfa wrote in his article on his public account "A spring rain comes, and a hundred flowers bloom in ten miles":
Mr. Wu focused on the theme, combined with practice, explained in simple terms, and explained in depth and detail, which benefited people a lot. The nearly two-hour lecture was interspersed with the reading plots of the readers, and the questions and reflections for the students were designed. I felt the professionalism of the learning center from Mr. Wu's teaching, and experienced the shock brought by the real learning mode of co-reading, thinking and understanding.
As long as the teacher can be awakened to read the classics together and practice the thinking, the purpose of reading together will be basically achieved.
Last year alone, he shared his courses and gave 10 offline professional lectures, and his professional reading mainly focused on 42 books on subject research, education and teaching, picture book research and philosophy, and he was rated as a model student for many times in 3 courses studied by Xinwang Teacher, wrote about 450,000 words of articles, and commissioned many articles.

Walking on the road, there will always be celebrations!
In 2024, he chose to take on the management of the "New Education Reading Club Pedagogical Reading Community", which is even more challenging! From selecting books to formulating manuals, from forming a team to inviting experts, from serving book friends to focusing on rambling conversations, along the way, the stories in it have become more and more tortuous and rich because of the choice to undertake, and the torment has become the poetry and dream that he yearns for.
Teacher Wu Yaoda often said: "Every moment we are faced with a choice! Keep the bottom line of not being confused, and choose to be the most worthy of yourself." Only by establishing oneself can one reach others!"
