Be a teacher and care for students

"'Teaching by example' is the best education for students, and teaching by example is better than 'passing on words'." Wang Xiaoyan, a teacher from Jiuyi Primary School in Xiaodian District, Taiyuan City, was awarded the "National Model Teacher" this year.

Wang Xiaoyan has been working silently on the three-foot podium for 29 years. Since stepping on the podium, along with the identity of a Chinese teacher, there is another title - class teacher. In order to "teach by example", she will enter the classroom early in the morning to organize early reading, and gradually, students can make good use of the early reading time; She would give a small alarm clock to the children who loved to be late, and gradually, no one in the class was late; She would remind the sick child to take medicine between classes, help the child get eye drops, and gradually, the student would quietly put throat lozenges and chrysanthemum tea on the desk for her; She would take the initiative to help the broken child go to the toilet, and gradually, this job was taken away by other children...... At first, she was like the "reassurance" of the class, as long as she was there, the class was orderly, and slowly, even if she took a leave of absence, the class was still in order.

So, the class she led was always filled with warm love. Every child is the master of the class, everyone has something to do, and everyone has something to do; Where there is a vacancy, where there is a need, there will always be someone to step up. Such a cohesive class is like this. Such a class has been among the best in various activities of the school, and has won the outstanding class collective in the urban area for many times; Wang Xiaoyan has also been awarded more than 10 national, provincial and municipal honors, such as the National Excellent Squadron Counselor, the first prize of the Top Ten in the National Innovation Cup Teaching Art Competition, and the Model Teacher of Shanxi Province.

Some students lack interest in learning and have poor self-control, so he helps them find gaps and provide targeted counseling to help their grades improve quickly......
