On September 1, primary and secondary school students ushered in the opening day.
At 8:00 a.m., at the entrance of the First Primary School on Dahushan Road in Yangpu District, Shanghai, fourth-grade students Gu Keyi and his classmates lined up to stop at the self-service thermometer and disinfection and handwashing device, and then rushed into the campus. "I can study and play with my classmates again, and I hope that I can be a better version of myself in the new semester." Gu Keyi said.
After a summer vacation, the school has a new landscape and new curriculum: a row of blank walls transformed into a "cradle dream wall" painted by students to display happy campus activities; the small "cradle farm" in the corner of the playground has built a cute log cabin with shovels and other labor tools, vegetables, flowers and fruits are full of vitality. "I can grow it with my friends and harvest fresh vegetables in a few months." I heard that in the future, labor classes and club activities will be carried out more in the farm, and Zhu Yitian is full of expectations.
In the first semester of the "double reduction" policy (referring to reducing the burden of homework and off-campus training for students in the compulsory education stage), many similar new changes are taking place on campuses everywhere.
Rich curriculum, five educations, home-school communication... Focus on the overall development of students
At a middle school in Shanghai's Minhang district, the opening ceremony begins with a "growth ceremony" prepared for each student by instructors dressed in formal attire. The "Growing Gift" includes a gift, a wishlist and a new semester message. The comprehensive implementation of the "full tutor system" in primary and secondary schools is one of the new measures in Shanghai in the new semester. Tutors become good mentors and friends for students, and assume the responsibility of "home-school communication", providing continuous care and all-round development guidance for each student, relieving academic pressure, enhancing growth confidence, and guiding parents to establish a correct concept of education.
In order to fully implement the "double reduction" work deployment, the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission has issued a total of 6 new measures to strengthen the role of the main front of school education. In addition to the "full tutor system", there are also strengthening school homework management, upgrading the "air classroom" to form a famous teacher group to answer questions online, and accelerating the construction of a close-knit school district group. "These new measures in the new semester will make schools and teachers not only pay attention to subject knowledge and test scores, but also care more about children's happiness and health, so that every child can find the value of learning and life." The person in charge of the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission said.
In Shenyang, Li Danyang, principal of the Pearl River Five Schools Education Group, introduced that the school has opened a full curriculum, deeply excavated the connotation of the curriculum, developed a rich school curriculum, changed the evaluation mechanism, and no longer used "hard indicators" as the only criterion for evaluating students. Li Danyang believes that the family, school, and society are the main body for implementing the "double reduction", and only by working together and forming a joint force can we promote the "double reduction" to truly take root and promote the all-round development and healthy growth of students. "'Double subtraction' should ensure that students can 'eat enough' knowledge points in school." Ye Xuesong, a mathematics teacher at the Pearl River Five Schools Education Group who has been teaching for more than 30 years, said that it is necessary to pay attention to classroom teaching while taking into account after-school quality education services and build a platform to cultivate students' good interests and hobbies.
Teacher rotation, student burden reduction, multiple evaluations... Improve the quality of classroom teaching
On the first day of school, Wang Huan, principal of Beijing Shijia Education Group, went to Xinjiali Primary School as principal, Anduxinli Primary School as a new member school of Shijia Education Group, and former principal Zhao Danyang exchanged rotation to Shijia Experimental Primary School as principal. The exchange and rotation of the two principals is an important measure for the Dongcheng District of Beijing to deepen the work of promoting the pilot area of the exchange and rotation of cadres and teachers in compulsory education schools under the background of "double reduction".
Renhe Middle School in Shunyi District, Beijing has set up a special class for homework management, formulated the "Measures for the Management of Student Homework in Renhe Middle School", and regarded the design of subject assignments as an important content of teaching and research, requiring teachers to pay attention to the consolidation of knowledge and skills when assigning homework, as well as the improvement of subject thinking and literacy. The school has also set up a homework bulletin board, requiring teachers to give feedback in a timely manner, strengthen face-to-face corrections, and regularly issue homework quality inspection reports.
"In the new semester, the focus of Beijing's education and teaching work is to promote the return of daily teaching to the classroom, return to the 'zero starting point', return to the law of education and knowledge, and shape a good educational ecology." Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Education Working Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and spokesman of the Municipal Education Commission, introduced it. In terms of improving the quality of classroom teaching, Beijing actively promotes the construction of dual-teacher classrooms and integrated classrooms to improve the efficiency of students' learning in school. At the same time, guide teachers to follow the laws of student cognition and growth, pay attention to individual differences, promote the reform of teaching methods with students as the center, and effectively improve the quality of teaching. At the same time, in terms of examination evaluation, the pressure of examination is reduced, the examination method is improved, and the examination results are presented and a grade system is implemented.
Academic tutoring, physical activities, interest groups... After-school services become standard
Every afternoon, we provide two hours of after-school services, with academic counseling, sports activities, labor skills, classic reading, interest electives, and team meetings, which are carried out every afternoon after school from Monday to Friday. On the first day of school, the after-school service of Zhongguancun No. 3 Primary School in Haidian District, Beijing attracted the attention of parents. The reporter learned that Beijing pays attention to the full coverage of after-school services, and all schools at the stage of compulsory education, including private schools, must carry out after-school services every afternoon from Monday to Friday, facing all students, and students voluntarily choose.
"Based on enhancing the comprehensive quality of students, the school strives to form an after-school service content system that is unified with diversity and personalization, and strives to satisfy parents and students." Liu Keqin, principal of Zhongguancun No. 3 Primary School, said. "The Xicheng District of Beijing will integrate the 12 off-campus educational resources such as the Children's Palace and the Science and Technology Museum in the district to provide a menu of after-school service courses for regional schools to meet the diversified growth needs of students." At the same time, through the government's purchase of services, coordinate the resources of universities and scientific research institutes to provide useful supplements for after-school services. Wang Pan, deputy secretary of the Education Working Committee of the Xicheng District Committee of Beijing municipality and director of the District Education Committee, introduced.
In the new semester, all public and private primary schools in Shanghai have also carried out after-school services, and junior high schools have begun to explore the opening of self-study classes on weekday evenings. "In the past, children were in tutoring classes on weekends, but now after-school service hours can basically complete homework, and if there is a problem, they can ask the teacher directly." This semester, we intend to let our children participate in more scientific and innovative activities, sports, and more family time. At 5:30 p.m., at the entrance of the North School of Shanghai Jincai Middle School, Wang Yajia, a parent of a junior high school sophomore, told reporters. Shanghai requires schools to ensure that "the written homework of primary schools does not leave the school, and the difficult homework of junior high schools is not taken home", and also establishes a system of job publicity. Almost all schools have begun to use after-school service hours to guide students to complete their homework carefully, while carrying out a variety of arts, sports, technology, labor, interest groups and club activities.
In Shenyang, each school provides inclusive after-school services and personalized after-school education for 1 hour each after school, and the end time of after-school services is not earlier than the normal end time in principle. According to the relevant person in charge of the Shenyang Municipal Education Bureau, after-school services are generally undertaken by the teachers of the school, and if the teachers in the school cannot meet the special needs of some students to develop their interests and specialties, they can hire retired teachers, qualified social professionals or volunteers to participate in after-school services.
