In the theme sharing session of the event, Han Jinjin, deputy director of the Education Bureau of Qinhuai District, Nanjing, shared the theme of "Sticking to the Position of Children and Empowering Life Growth - Creating a 'Vibrant' Ecology of Qinhuai Beautiful Education". In recent years, with the goal of "running a better education with more feelings and creating a strong area with higher quality education", Qinhuai District has taken the construction of "dynamic classroom" as the starting point, and strived to stimulate the cultural vitality, life vitality and development vitality of regional education, create a unique school-based classroom model, and promote the high-quality and balanced development of regional primary education. Han Jinjin said that the "dynamic classroom" is the Qin Huai expression of the "Jinling Good Classroom". Qinhuai primary school education adheres to high-level guidance, district-school linkage, and full investment, promotes the transformation of education methods, and highlights the value implication of "dynamic classroom". At the same time, we will innovate the path to achieve the precise empowerment of the "dynamic classroom". For example, we should work together to build the "main front" of regional education reform; scientific research cohesion, planting a good classroom quality improvement "test field"; Precise research and training, digging deep into the "reservoir" of teaching and research to improve quality; The warp and weft are intertwined, and the "key chess" is the first to be tried first; Homework empowerment optimizes the "barometer" of diagnostic feedback. Relying on the provincial key planning project "Dynamic Classroom: Action Pattern for Promoting the High-quality and Balanced Development of Regional Primary Education", Qinhuai District has formed a scientific research matrix with the main topic of the District Education Bureau as the "stem", the sub-project of the education group as the "branch", and the small project of each group member school as the "leaf", promoted the theoretical research and practical guidance of the "dynamic classroom", and generated a rich form of "dynamic classroom" in each beautiful school: such as the "Mingli Classroom" and "Limei Classroom" based on the construction of school culture, and the "Classmate Classroom" and "Student-Aided Classroom" based on the children's position , based on the reform of teaching methods, "invitation classroom", "digital intelligence classroom", etc.
Wan Daihong, Secretary of the General Party Branch of Nanjing Youfu West Street Primary School
Wan Daihong, Secretary of the General Party Branch of Nanjing Youfu West Street Primary School, shared the theme of "Empowering Learning: Supporting Children's Growth". Wan Daihong said that You Xiaoren is committed to running a school that fully supports children's growth, from four concerns to five actions, insisting on the implementation of child growth support plans, and cultivating socialist builders and successors with all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, art and labor. The school focuses on five aspects: curriculum, classroom, activities, evaluation, and teacher team construction, so that the concept of "development of each" can be implemented, giving children the energy to learn, activating the motivation for children's sustainable growth, and realizing children's all-round development. The school breaks down spatial barriers, connects the living fields inside and outside the school, highlights the main body of children, provides children with more diverse learning opportunities, accumulates richer learning experience, and empowers every child's learning through curriculum construction. The school has developed children's independent courses, home-school-community co-construction courses, and library-school cooperation courses. In the children's independent curriculum, students become their own teachers, form their own clubs, and the roles of teachers and parents are changed to teaching assistants. Based on the educational value of labor, the home-school-community co-construction curriculum constructs a global labor learning style. According to the students' 6 years and 72 months, 72 labor projects were designed, agricultural gardens were opened for students, cooking and carpentry classrooms were built, and more than 10 industry experts were invited to set up a "labor education tutor group" to meet the needs of students' production and labor practice. Guided by Nanjing's "Jinling Good Classroom" and required by the regional "Dynamic Classroom", the school proposes a "Peer Classroom", emphasizing that "every child can grow through rich and personalized learning", and advocates that the classroom should be established on the basis of children's healthy and good peer relationships, with common growth as the core, so as to promote teachers, students, and students to influence, identify and integrate with each other in the learning process of "experiencing together", and fully demonstrate under the care of the excellent traditional Chinese culture of "seeking common ground while reserving differences" and "seeing each other and being kind" make the classroom vibrant".
