Education is to move towards the future, facing the new era, the principal has the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and the principal is also crucial. So what aspects should principals make efforts to do education towards the future and facing the new era?
First, use the guidance of thought to be the principal
Man is great by his thoughts, and the principal is profound by his thoughts. A principal can have nothing, but can not do without his own educational ideas, excellent principals have their own educational ideas, a principal with educational ideas, he will have a unique view of education, in his body, there will also be a unique charm.
The principal's educational thinking is not inherent, it should be learned from unremitting learning, obtained from continuous reflection, studied from the cognition of education, condensed from the practice field of education, and pondered and perceived from the educational phenomenon of thinking and seeing.
Enthusiasm needs to be driven by passion, passion needs to burst out of passion, soul needs soul awakening, and thought needs to be ignited by thought.
Sukhomlinsky once said: The principal's leadership of the school is first of all the leadership of educational ideas, and the second is the leadership of the administration.
Whether a teacher has educational ideas or not, and what kind of educational ideas they have, it all depends on the principal. The important responsibility of the principal is not how much he has done in specific affairs, but whether the principal has led the teacher in educational thinking and how much he has led.
The principal can lead the teacher ideologically, and that will be better than how much empty preaching, how much ineffective management, how much endless tossing! Such a principal has done a great job!
Second, use professional skills to be the principal
Education is very professional, the school is also a professional intensive place, teachers are a relatively high professional standard group, the principal must be proficient in business, must be an expert in the professional field, must be an expert in the professional field, must be an expert leader.
Only the male can play the big knife. The principal's profound knowledge, profound education and solid professional foundation are not only the valuable wealth that the principal will use for life, but also the strength of the principal to overcome difficulties and conquer people's hearts.
As the saying goes: "The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway." If the principal lacks certain professional support, the "layman" guides the insider, just like the shoe scratching the itch, not painful or itchy, the principal is difficult to lead education and teaching, of course, it is more difficult to lead the teacher.
If the principal has a solid professional foundation and is stronger than the teacher, the teacher will recognize you, admire you, respect you, and look up to you, and he will never dare to get an axe in front of you. On the contrary, you can have more strength in the main battlefield of education and teaching, strategize, lead troops to fight, command from the front, and give orders.
For the principal, to be a qualified principal is only the lowest level of requirements, it is relatively easy; to be an excellent principal, the effort will be more, it not only requires the principal to have morality, talent, learning, knowledge, but also requires the principal to form his own school-running ideology and school-running characteristics; and to be an expert principal, is the principal's highest pursuit, it not only requires the principal to have everything an excellent principal, but also requires the principal to establish his own professional leadership position, establish his own professional management ideas, and consolidate his professional field skills.
Third, use the power of example to be the principal
The power of example is infinite. Shouting through the throat is not as good as making an appearance, striking iron needs to be hard, the body is not ordered, and its body is not correct, although it is ordered but not obeyed.
After so many years of education management, what I have experienced most is that the best education is infiltration, the most effective management is the demonstration, and the most efficient leadership is the power of example.
The village looks at the village, the household looks at the household, and the masses look at the cadres. In schools, the principal's words and deeds are in the eyes of the teachers. If we can't set an example, be consistent in appearance, and be consistent in words and deeds, how can we ask the teacher to do it, in fact, the teacher will never be able to do it.
As principals ask teachers to do it, do not do it ourselves, or do not do it better than the teacher, how can we persuade and influence the teacher?
The effective management of the principal must be a pioneer, lead by example, and take the lead in setting an example. That is, give full play to the power of example and the role of example. Only in this way can the principal do the management with a straight face, grasp the implementation with full confidence, and the teachers will be convinced and convinced. When you use a magnifying glass to examine the behavior of your teacher, you don't have to worry that they will poke you in the back.
The principal should always remember that tao li does not speak, the next is self-made; "give me up" is far worse than "follow me"; let others do things you can't do, it is always useless; their own behavior can become an influence, following and saddle before and after the horse is a kind of willingness, the power of leading by example shows a kind of inspiration, response and response is a kind of self-awareness; the principal's example and demonstration, which is itself the most effective leadership.
Fourth, use the responsibility of responsibility as the principal
There is always one thing in this world that is difficult to give up and makes people linger, and that is responsibility. Responsibility casts the mission, responsibility writes loyalty, responsibility embodies value, responsibility is better than ability, responsibility interprets life, and responsibility forges brilliance.
Man may not be great or poor, but he cannot be without responsibility. Responsibility has a price, responsibility is huge, responsibility is priceless.
Although the principal is not an official, the principal is the soul of the school, and if there is a good principal, there is a good school. Therefore, the position of principal is sacred, the mission is noble, and the responsibility is heavy.
The development of education, the professional happiness of teachers, the future life of children, and the changes in the fate of thousands of families are completely in the hands of the school and maintained in the principal, if the principal does not have a responsibility, then is it not dereliction of duty and loss of conscience?
The principal's responsibility, on the one hand, must have a strong sense of responsibility. It is necessary to perform their duties and responsibilities, be responsible for their work, their careers, their professional growth, their bright future, their schools, and their high-quality development.
On the other hand, there must be a strong sense of social responsibility. While running schools well and doing a good job in education, principals must also pay attention to society, the country, and the destiny of mankind. Breathe with the times, share the destiny with the nation, be related to the world, and dock with the future.
At the same time, we must also have the quality of courage to take responsibility. For the restoration of the education ecology, the principal must dare to defend the common sense of education, dare to adhere to the correct concept of running a school, dare to break through the barriers of exam-oriented education, challenge anti-education, do not push the waves, do not follow the waves, do not follow the clouds; for the interference from the outside world on education, the principal must dare to refuse, dare to resist, dare to say "no", keep the pure land of the campus, return the quiet lecture desk to the teacher, return the quiet desk to the child, so that the teacher can calm down to teach, so that the child can calm down to learn For the problems faced in the development of education, the difficulties encountered in the progress, and the contradictions that appear in the work, the principal must not take a detour, do not avoid, do not pick a pick, and must face the difficulties and dare to show the sword.
Fifth, use the penetration of emotions to be the principal
Education is the cause of man, man has emotions, and education is a cause full of emotions. Therefore, the principal cannot keep a straight face, cannot pay a hard heart, and the principal should carry emotions.
Principals should educate with emotion. Principals should love the cause of education, regard the school as their home, interpret the profession at hand into a lifelong career, be as obsessed with the cause of education as a philosopher looks up at the stars, be as devout to the cause of education as religious believers do to religion, love the cause of education as young boys and girls care for their first lovers, do education with their hearts, and do the whole education with the whole heart.
Principals should treat teachers with affection. Principals must understand that our first title is teacher, the most beautiful title is teacher, and the eternal title is teacher. No matter how strong our ability is, it is nothing without the teacher; no matter how good our philosophy is, without the teacher, nothing will be achieved. Therefore, we must compare hearts to hearts, exchange hearts for hearts, learn to think in empathy, empathy, care for teachers from the humanities, understand teachers, respect teachers, trust teachers, achieve teachers, treat ourselves as teachers, treat teachers as teachers, let teachers really feel your true concern, sincere care, and sincere care, thus feeling the warmth of the school, the warmth of the collective, and the warmth of the team.
Principals should face students with emotion. Without love, there is no education. On the one hand, the principal should be good at discovering the value of each student, tapping the potential of each student, stimulating the internal strength of each student, developing the personality of each student, so that each student can become the best version of himself and become the person he should become. On the other hand, we must release strong feelings in our hearts, treat the students in the school as if they were their own children, take care of them, love them, and fulfill their responsibilities, so that those hearts that need our attention, love and care get the moisture they deserve, the sunshine and rain that they deserve.
Principals should develop systems with emotion. The principal manages the school and leads the education of the party, although it is inseparable from the system, but the system cannot only be a blunt clause, a cold face, nor is it a dead card for people, staring at death, a good system should be able to breathe freely, can reflect human nature, and should have a human touch.
Sixth, with the spirit of "trying our best" and "constantly pursuing", be the principal
Not long ago, at the meeting of directors of the Rural Education Committee of the China Pottery Association held in Qimen, Anhui Province, I said that the meaning of life lies in "trying our best" and "constantly pursuing". "Trying your best" and "constantly pursuing" are actually not only a meaning of life, but also a spirit of doing things. Principals should have this spirit, whether they are running schools or doing education.
In the "best effort", for teachers to harvest professional happiness, principals need to do their best, for the children's happy growth, principals need to do their best, in order to run the schools that children like, principals need to do their best, in order to do the education that children yearn for, principals need to do their best, for teachers and students to live a happy and happy educational life, principals need to do their best, for the change of educational ecology, education is better, principals need to do their best.
For all this, it is already valuable that the principals can "try their best", but according to my understanding and my requirements, if it is only "trying their best", it means that there are still some reservations, there is still room, or they have not yet exerted all their strength, and they have not yet fully tapped their full potential.
The higher requirement for the principal is that on the basis of "doing our best", we must also do our best and do our best. With all efforts and all efforts, there is a full commitment, all-out, no end, no end until the goal is reached, Lou Lan does not break the oath and does not return.
As for "continuous pursuit", that is, no matter what difficulties and challenges the principal encounters, he can never stop the pace of pursuit, cannot stop the pace of progress, must constantly question the true meaning of education, must think hard about the true nature of education, must diligently pursue a beautiful education, must face the future of education and the future of education, pack up, set off at any time, start again, start again, and go all the way.
I think that as long as the principal is based on these six aspects, he can make an education that goes to the future and faces the new era, and education can walk lightly on the road to the future and the new era.
