In the fertile soil of the Economic Development Zone, there is a bright new star in the field of basic education in Beijing, which has been joined by the United High School of the National People's Congress for less than 7 years, but its development is extremely rapid, and its teaching performance has climbed fabulously, becoming a veritable pilot school in the local area and even in Beijing. By September 2024, the school will have 13,000 students, making it a plateau in Beijing's basic education sector. The school is undergoing a remarkable metamorphosis: the implementation of the "Stronger Mathematics" program has achieved a breakthrough of 0 to 1 in the Olympiad; The school implements the "majority-system-college-style" management system, and explores a new path for the whole school of primary, junior high and high school. This school is on the verge of becoming a new peak in basic education. This school is the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone School of the High School Affiliated to the National People's Congress (hereinafter referred to as the People's Development Zone).
The results of the Olympiad have achieved a breakthrough from zero to one
Recently, the Beijing Mathematical Society announced the winners of the 2024 Chinese Mathematical Olympiad Preliminary Competition (Beijing Division), and a total of 9 students from the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone will have the opportunity to participate in the league held in September. The award of students in the zone reflects the continuous improvement of the educational strength of the Economic Development Zone. A total of 7 students were sent to participate in the competition, of which 1 won the second prize and 3 won the third prize. It is worth mentioning that the Renkai Mathematics Competition team has been established for less than a year, the subject competition has just started, and the immediate results are inseparable from the excellent teacher team. To promote the "reduction", improve literacy, discipline competition is a training platform for the personalized development of students, students participate in the competition is not only for honor, but also through the experience of the competition to show academic ability, hobbies, enthusiasm for the subject, etc., to participate in different types of competitions, the difficulty of the competition is also to help students explore the discipline, to achieve the best means of "competition to promote learning".
Recently, the results of the 2024 Beijing High School Physics Top-notch Innovation Ability (Mechanics) Competition were announced, and 63 students from the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone School of the High School Affiliated to the National People's Congress won the awards, including 15 first prizes, 22 second prizes, and 26 third prizes.
In the recently concluded 2024 Chemistry Olympiad Qualifiers, Renkai performed well, with a total of 68 students winning a number of awards, including 8 first prizes, 21 second prizes, and 39 third prizes. The achievement of these achievements better reflects the students' in-depth understanding and application ability of chemistry knowledge, reflects the remarkable achievements and excellent teaching quality of chemistry teaching, and is an important embodiment of Renkai's insistence on promoting chemistry learning and core literacy through competitions.
It is no accident that the results of the People's Open Olympiad have achieved a breakthrough from zero to one. The educational and teaching achievements made by Renkai in recent years are obvious to all, and Renkai has exuded dazzling light in the field of basic education in Beijing, attracting a large number of high-end talents in basic education. Up to now, all five universities have experienced coaches, including gold medal coaches. The results of the Olympiad have achieved a breakthrough from zero to one, which has comprehensively boosted the confidence of teachers and students, although the time for the formation of the discipline Olympiad team is short, but the concept is new, the foundation is firm, and the teachers are strong. The implementation of the competition course pays special attention to the work of "seedling selection", which can not only be limited to the selection of freshmen from high school, but can also put the perspective on junior high school or even primary school, select and cultivate in advance. In the future, the results of the Olympiad in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and information will continue to innovate and create new peaks one after another.
In 2024, 60 students will increase their performance by more than 10,000
The low score is high, which is the golden business card of basic education in Beijing. The education of Renkai School provides students with strong value-added force and taps the development potential of each child. All this reflects the super value-added and promotion ability of Renkai School. It also gives the school full of self-confidence, and the school can not only cultivate top students, but also make every ordinary student become extraordinary and become the best version of themselves.
Renkai School creates an educational miracle in the field of basic education in Beijing every year. According to incomplete statistics, dozens of students increase their grades by more than 10,000 every year.
The online rumor is that the student surnamed Chen scored 682 points in the 2024 college entrance examination, ranking 671st in Beijing, while the candidate's high school entrance examination score 3 years ago only ranked more than 6,000. This is just one case of a person opening a low score and a higher score. In the 2024 college entrance examination results, compared with the ranking of the high school entrance examination city, the average improvement of the ranking of all students in the college entrance examination city of this year is 6,721. Among them, 2 people have been promoted to more than 30,000, 12 people have been promoted to more than 20,000, 60 people have been promoted to more than 10,000, and more than 100 people have been promoted to more than 5,000.
The school has achieved a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change, and has become a high-quality school that is satisfactory to the people at the doorstep of the Economic Development Zone. At present, there are more than 1,000 teaching staff, including 35 special teachers, 15 senior teachers, and nearly 100% of teachers under the age of 45 with master's degree. This kind of teacher structure is highly allocated in the field of basic education in Beijing.
The "double class teacher system" is an educational mechanism that advocates professional companionship and professional observation based on the basic idea of "all-round education and whole-process education", and sets up two positions: growth class teacher and counselor. In the implementation of practical courses, each teacher is both a teacher of subject teaching and a mentor of practical learning. This solves the problem of who will instruct the practical courses. Each teacher is not only the resource builder of the curriculum, the designer of learning, but also the collaborator of student learning.
The school adheres to the concept of "designing every one and growing each one", implements small class teaching, tutor group education system (chief tutor, subject tutor, career planning tutor, psychological counseling tutor, life tutor), and personalized design for all staff. Top-notch students, middle students, potential students, and specialty students are promoted at the same time, so that every student can get the most appropriate education, so that each student can achieve good development in body and mind, foundation and personality, ability and strength, and be the best version of themselves. Prepare each student for further studies, employment, success and happiness in the future.
Most of the ministry system and college style explore the training of the whole school period
In July 2023, Renkai created a new "college-style" management system. Under the deliberative and decision-making body, the school has six departments: Administration Department, Curriculum and Teaching Department, Student Development Department, Brand Development Department, Teacher Development Department, and Logistics Support Department, and has a number of colleges or centers under its jurisdiction. Among them, the 9 colleges of language, ideology and politics, humanities, mathematics, science, innovation, arts, physical education, and science and technology innovation have been vertically integrated for 12 years, and the teaching service center and student development center have implemented vertical integration management in four sections. The innovation of the "majority-system-college-style" management system is the second major reform of the comprehensive mechanism implemented by the university since 2017.
The "college style of the majority of the ministry system" is a new path for the development of the whole school period through the development of the people. This path makes full use of the advantages of the 12-year consistent system, from the perspective of the integration of primary, junior and senior high schools, longitudinally examines the school section system, attaches importance to the cohesion and co-education between school sections, and innovatively changes the 12-year three-stage school system to the four-stage school system. Grades 1 to 5 are the first period, grades 6 to 8 are the second period, grades 9 to 10 are the third period, and grades 11 and 12 are the fourth period. During the year, the school explored and carried out the "Fertile Soil Plan" for the connection of primary and junior high schools, the "Seedlings Plan" for the connection between junior and senior high schools, and the "Golden Harvest Plan" for the future university connection.
This is not a simple departmental adjustment, but a forward-looking step in the school's teaching management.
"Through the establishment of the Curriculum and Teaching Department, we can make full use of the advantages of the school's 12-year consistent system, from the perspective of the integration of primary, junior and senior high schools, and use the 12-year duration to vertically examine the construction and management of a certain subject curriculum, so as to promote the integration and convergence of the school period. At the same time, each college has set up a dean and vice president to manage the 12 grades of a certain discipline, so as to realize the professional people to do professional things. Wang Jiaokai, secretary of the party committee, principal and senior teacher of the People's Development Bank, said.
The "Stronger Mathematics" program is open to all students
The leaders of the main schools took the helm, set up a leading group of "Strengthening Mathematics", took turns to work in several campuses, went deep into the mathematics classroom, went deep into the front line, conducted in-depth research, and promoted the further change, optimization and implementation of the reform concept and implementation path.
Nine-year consistency and twelve-year integration are the distinctive characteristics of the People's Development Institute, and the school has the innate conditions for the construction of integrated characteristic courses. On the premise of fully respecting the national basic curriculum, add your own thinking, especially in the aspect of self-directed learning guidance. From the three stages of primary school, junior high school and high school, the integrated design is carried out. With the distinctive feature of "Mathematics Self-directed Learning Guidance Course", we pay attention to the cultivation of students' self-learning ability from the beginning of primary school, teach students the method of mathematics reading, so that students can adapt to the learning mode of self-directed learning guidance and gradually form independent learning habits. And then gradually through high school. Through the "self-directed learning guidance course", the academic performance of the whole school can be improved on a large scale, and the growth of students' self-learning ability can be promoted. In this way, the attractiveness of the mathematics curriculum will be enhanced, and the sense of identity of students, parents and society will be enhanced.
The construction of the mathematics curriculum firmly grasps the three key characteristics of "classroom", "after-school" and "service", and is oriented to all students, so that "everyone can get a good mathematics education, so that different people can get different development in mathematics". With the goal of improving the core literacy of mathematics, we pay attention to cultivating the scientific spirit and innovation consciousness. The Mathematics Curriculum arranges mathematics knowledge in stages and modules, and each stage has clear learning goals and tasks, which helps students clarify their learning direction and goals, so as to improve their interest and enthusiasm for learning. At the same time, through the challenges and sense of achievement at different stages, students' interest and motivation in learning can also be further stimulated.
At the same time, the integration of mathematical elements into the campus landscape design stems from the good intentions of Wang Jiaokai, Secretary of the Party Committee and Principal of Renkai School. As a mathematics teacher, he believes that mathematics courses should focus on education, practice, openness and integration. To this end, Renkai School has developed the "Digital Alliance" course, which is mainly divided into four parts: "Mathematics and Rhyme", "Attack and Defense", "Performance and Appreciation", and "Practice and Understanding". The design of mathematical elements carefully integrated into the campus is one of the course contents of "Mathematics and Rhyme".
"In the 'Mathematics and Rhyme' course, students are encouraged to express their understanding of mathematics in a variety of forms, including poetry, music and other forms, in any genre, but with mathematical elements." "We hope to change students' impression of mathematics as abstract, cold and outdated, stimulate their vision of the beauty of mathematics, and guide them to learn to create, discover and appreciate beauty from the perspective of mathematics." ”
Under this curriculum concept, students have a deeper understanding of the beauty of mathematics. Zhu Kexin, a sophomore in high school, designed the class emblem based on mathematical elements, and any straight line and arc in the class emblem graphic can find its corresponding function, which is a "perfect" figure based on the function image.
Wang Jiaokai said, "Strengthen mathematics and create nutritious mathematics courses with color, fragrance and taste; Seize the class, let the students really participate, let the students be the leader of the class, enhance the attractiveness of the class, and make the class engaging! Let the classroom be broader, integrate other disciplines and even interdisciplinary, and make students feel that the teacher's class is really good, with both taste and quality. Combined with the spirit of curriculum planning of President Wang, the School of Mathematics implements the "Strengthening Mathematics" plan by strengthening the classroom and curriculum.
The interdisciplinary curriculum creates a scientific and technological baby
The interdisciplinary curriculum crosses the boundaries of disciplines in terms of content and learning, and points to the complete life of students. The "Majority-Ministerial College Style" has established five colleges that have been running through for 12 years according to the attributes of disciplines, fully entered interdisciplinary teaching, broke down the barriers of the school section from the perspective of the integration of primary, junior and senior high schools, vertically examined the construction of disciplines, and promoted multidisciplinary integration horizontally. During the implementation of the Chinese herbal medicine curriculum, the teaching and research groups of mathematics, biology, chemistry, and science designed learning around common tasks, breaking the inherent teaching and research mode, broadening the boundaries of teaching and research, and giving full play to the synergy of discipline education. Many parents, doctors, and professors from the University of Chinese Medicine have also become tutors for this course.
Based on the advantages of the 12-year consistent system, Renkai makes full use of the advantageous resources of the Economic Development Zone - industrial highland: it has four 100-billion-level industrial clusters of high-end automobiles, industrial Internet, biomedicine, and new generation information technology. Cooperate with enterprises, domestic universities, scientific research institutions, social venues and other social and educational resource institutions in the zone, deeply excavate and integrate the superior resources of all parties, take the cultivation of innovative talents and the core literacy system as the guide, and face all students, design, develop and develop a hierarchical and classified integrated training science and technology curriculum system for the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents, and build a curriculum resource exchange mechanism. Establish a full-staff, full-process, and all-round education implementation system, on the basis of ensuring the completion of the national curriculum and local curriculum, so that students can seamlessly connect in the leap of primary, junior and senior high schools, provide students with diversified and alternative growth paths, and provide a broader space for future students to receive national higher education and career development.
The curriculum design realizes the whole process from popularization to the cultivation of top-notch innovative talents. The curriculum is designed at four gradient levels: consolidating the foundation of the discipline, stimulating potential and interest, promoting professional development and forming independent ability. With the three characteristics of "full period", "professionalism" and "in-depth", it strengthens students' "protagonist" status in curriculum practice in the learning process, discovers in exploration, conceives in discovery, practices in conception, acquires knowledge in practice, and cultivates innovative talents in a systematic and hierarchical manner.
The curriculum has a focus on the school period, with the primary school focusing on the "science and technology fire" that ignites students' curiosity, the junior high school focusing on creating a "creative field" that inspires people's imagination, and the high school focusing on building a "display platform" for exploration and practice.
In particular, the junior high school curriculum is particularly rich in science and technology courses. The course content covers four categories: structure, electronics, programming, and tools, and the tools used cover computer programming, open source hardware, 3D printing, micro machine tools, traditional handwork, etc. Students are encouraged to choose the projects they are interested in, cultivate students' interdisciplinary thinking ability, and improve knowledge application and innovation.
Recently, more than 10 students of Renkai won the first, second and third prizes of the National Youth Science and Technology Education Achievement Exhibition Competition; In the National Youth Aerospace Innovation Competition, more than 10 students won the first and second prizes.
In the past four years, a total of 719 students have won national and municipal science and technology awards, and students have applied for 66 patents. The teaching team has won 122 awards such as outstanding tutors, and the school has participated in the World Robot Conference as the only primary and secondary school for four consecutive years, and has successively won the Beijing Primary and Secondary School Science and Technology Education Demonstration School, Beijing Intellectual Property Demonstration School, China Science and Technology Museum Museum and School Combination Base School, China Youth Information Technology Innovation Education Demonstration Base, National Youth Artificial Intelligence Activity Characteristic Unit, Beijing Youth Science and Image Creation Base School, Beijing Student Jinpeng Science and Technology Group, the first batch of Dandelion Program Base Schools, The first batch of Beidou popular science education bases and other honors.
Create "mathematical and physical characteristics" and cultivate new talents of the era with "physical and mental strength + both ability and political integrity" and "all-round development + outstanding specialties".
The School of Economics and Development of the High School Affiliated to the National People's Congress was honorably selected as one of the first batch of member schools of the Beijing Ordinary High School Mathematics and Science Characteristic Development Research Consortium! 31 schools in 16 districts of the city have become the first batch of member schools of the Mathematics and Science Cooperative of Ordinary High Schools in Beijing, and the School of Economics and Development of the High School Affiliated to the National People's Congress has become the only school selected in the Economic Development Zone.
As the main position of cultivating innovative talents, how to get out of the homogeneity of high school mathematics and science education and provide opportunities and assistance for the diversified development of students is a common concern of educators and parents, and it is also a problem that Renkai has been thinking about and exploring. Relying on the concept of happiness education, Renkai School focuses on mathematics and physics, perfectly integrates the characteristic culture with the school culture, optimizes the curriculum structure, provides a stage for students' personality development, and allows students to fully display their mathematical talents and display their mathematical talents in Renkai. Knowledge is not limited to the classroom, Renkai is committed to allowing students to discover the mathematics around them, motivating students to actively explore the mysteries of mathematics, broaden their mathematical horizons, and guiding students to apply what they have learned to solve practical problems. Edutainment and learning, so that students can improve their subject literacy in activities.
