He was awarded the honorary title of Outstanding Counselor for the 2020-2021 academic year.
After graduating from Guizhou Normal University in 2018, Zhou Ting stepped into the door of Qiannan Normal University for Nationalities with a vision of the profession of a teacher. In the past three years, under the care and guidance of leaders at all levels of the college and school, Zhou Ting has grown rapidly, completed the transformation from student to teacher role, and deeply realized that counselor work is a work that can follow a lifetime, and is a career that can look up to a lifetime.
Spring wind and rain, devote themselves to educating people
"As a counselor, I have a mentor-friend relationship with my students, both as teachers and as friends. A useful teacher can be a close friend, and a friend with strengths is in a sense a teacher worth learning. ”
Many times, students do not call Teacher Zhou, but affectionately call her "Sister Ting" or "Old Class". "Sister Ting" is not only a counselor for the class of 2017 students, but also a counselor for the students of the class of 2020, and also the class teacher of the graduate students of Limin College. Zhou Ting's love for students is like spring rain, moisturizing and silent, soaking in the bits and pieces of life. In the daily work of students, we will understand the students' thoughts, learning and life in depth and meticulously. As soon as the 20th grade students entered the school, Zhou Ting established a personal file for each student, recording the basic information, personality characteristics, hobbies and specialties and growth of the students.
"At the beginning of stepping into the school, when the new students met, I felt that Teacher Zhou was very young, in her 20s, and after getting along, I felt that Teacher Zhou was an approachable, amiable, beautiful and moving teacher. After a year of getting along, Teacher Zhou is very concerned about us, whether in learning or life, patiently asking students about their learning, life, and feelings, and it is our honor to meet Teacher Zhou as a counselor in college! Long Huafen said.
"Although she is our counselor, we all call her Sister Ting, and she also affectionately calls us all nicknames, and the most impressive thing to me is that on Children's Day this year, she bought us a lot of candy, and Sister Ting treated us like her younger siblings." Yuan Dongzi said.
As a counselor, Zhou Ting poured her most sincere enthusiasm and love into her work, she loved students from the bottom of her heart, cared for and cared for the growth of each student.
"If any of the classmates in the class are sick, he will pay special attention to the health of that classmate, remembering that one time in the early morning, one of the classmates fainted, and that night after the counselor received the news, he called the classmate overnight to follow up on the health of the classmate." He Zhifeng said.
In the daily management of students, Zhou Ting often emphasizes the importance of "learning" to students. For the Grade 20 students who first entered the school, Zhou Ting will encourage everyone with the example of her colleagues who have changed their destiny through hard work.
"Ms. Zhou is a good guide, and when I feel lost, she will use her experience in college to tell me how to deal with it, which helps me a lot." Yuan Dongzi said.
Zhou Ting is well aware that the current form of employment is severe, the society's requirements for college students are getting higher and higher, and the development of students is of great benefit. In the third year of the 17th grade students, they vigorously encouraged students to go to graduate school, and repeatedly organized the successful students of the 16th grade examination to guide and encourage the students of the 17th grade, analyze the current situation to them, and solve problems for their road to graduate school. On the occasion of the entrance examination, Zhou Ting also personally prepared a test kit and a postcard of blessings for each graduate student.
The true meaning of education is sincere and selfless love.
"There are no two identical leaves in the world, every student has its own characteristics, as a teacher, you should be able to teach according to your aptitude." Zhou Ting recalled, "One of the things that impressed me the most was the result of my comprehensive test, there was a student in the class who usually did not perform very well, often late, pretending to be sick for leave, I gave him a minimum score, and then he came to the office to find me, asked why his score was the lowest, opened the conversation box on this grounds, talked a lot, I often paid attention to him. Later, this student suddenly woke up, changed his previous decadent state, studied seriously, actively lived, and eventually studied in Japan. He messaged me that it was my score that woke him up. ”
For Zhou Ting, the biggest gain in her work is to witness the growth of students.
Keep learning and keep up with the times
Zhou Ting:
"I like the work of counselors, I think that a good counselor must first truly love students, really care about the growth of students; secondly, have a solid theoretical foundation, understand the relevant documents and policies of counselors' work, and actively learn sociology, psychology and other related knowledge; third, we must strive to improve our own skills and enhance our own professional capabilities; finally, counselors are a career worth fighting for life, and we must establish the ideal and belief of lifelong learning and keep pace with the times."
There are no small things in the school, education everywhere, no subsections for teachers, and role models everywhere. For the position of counselor, Zhou Ting always maintains a sense of awe, reverence for the responsibility and mission of this role.
"Effectively solving the needs of students is an inexhaustible motivation for my work, and I hope to work with them to better understand the world and know myself." Zhou Ting said.
The new era requires new working methods and work ideas, and counselors must keep up with the pace of the times and continuously improve their theoretical and professional levels. In the new situation, in the face of many new problems, counselors need to keep pace with the times and constantly create a new situation in the work of counselors. Zhou Ting attaches great importance to self-charging and improvement, actively participates in various trainings, learns the knowledge and theories related to pedagogy and psychology, and better serves the requirements of student work in the new era.
"My first impression of Ms. Zhou is amiable, because she shows a particularly kind side to each of her classmates, and my work is rigorous and meticulous, which is my second impression of her, and she is serious and meticulous in her work." He Zhifeng said.
In terms of teaching, we undertake military theory classes for two consecutive years, use the rest time to prepare lessons conscientiously, strive to make students gain something from each lesson, and carry out ideological education for students through relevant knowledge of national defense and military affairs. In the second semester of the 2020-2021 academic year, he will undertake the "World History" course at the Dushan Preparatory Campus, get along with the students of the preparatory department, and accumulate experience for the education and guidance of new students.
In terms of scientific research, in 2020, he published a paper in the magazine "Youth Years" entitled "Exploration of the Path to Improving the Ability of Ideological and Political Education Work of College Counselors in the New Era"; guided the innovation and entrepreneurship project of college students "The Protection and Inheritance of Cultural Heritage in the Third Line of Qiannan Based on short video platform" was approved at the provincial level; and participated in the guizhou provincial education planning project "Research on the Correct Path of "Four Histories" Education and the Correct Path of Historical Concept of College Students".
As a counselor, there are laughter and tears, honors and setbacks in the work, but Zhou Ting always perseveres and constantly improves herself, because she loves the profession she is engaged in and loves every student.
