Last semester, I was transferred to teach at a junior high school directly under the District Education Bureau. The work assigned to me by the school was to teach Chinese in the 5th and 6th classes of the eighth grade and the class teacher of the 5th class.
"Meet & Greet"
On the morning of August 31st, after a brief handover with the former class teacher of Class 5, I took up my post.
As soon as I stepped into the 5th class classroom, the scene in front of me could only be described as "surprised and inexplicable": the classroom was a mess, the desks and benches were in tatters, the mess was lying on the ground, the paper pieces, small food bags, and peels on the ground were full of paper, small food bags, and peels, the boys were chasing and fighting, and the filthy words were flying all over the sky, and two of the boys were eating instant noodles on their knees! Look at the classroom walls are mottled, the light lines are tangled together, and the fan only turns once.
No chalkboard wipes. (Some students said that five rubs were used in the previous period, and now all the "bones" are gone.) The next day I brought two towels from home, and I should take a replacement. Nor are there tools of labor. (Later, I mobilized the class committee to go to other classes to "borrow" a few rotten brooms and pickets to get through the difficulties.) ）
After teaching for 13 years, I have never seen such a classroom and students! Suppressing the excitement and even anger in my heart, I transported my feet to dantian and drank loudly, and there was a slight convergence in the classroom. I said, students, I am your new homeroom teacher, now let's put the table and stools in order! However, most people were indifferent and did not respond. So I took matters into my own hands, one by one, I lifted up the tables and stools, and slowly, several boys joined in. After packing up, the girls entered the classroom. Next, I started to check in, charge, collect summer vacation homework, etc. In the end, 5 boys who behaved badly were left to talk, from which they learned that they were proud of smoking, drinking, and playing cards, and there were almost no teachers who were popular with them.
Until the end, I didn't go out of the classroom and didn't take a sip of water. It was already 11:30, and I was only feeling dry and sweaty. In the afternoon, a simple etiquette routine and receptive education was conducted, and the position was adjusted. Roll call, there were 12 people absent.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning", "Details determine success or failure", I said to myself, no matter the wind and rain of the road ahead, face it calmly! I want to use my strength, personality, and personality charm to win the respect and love of students!
Confusion
Peers said that in the class where middle school students are concentrated, the teaching order is the bottleneck of management, and the classroom order is not guaranteed, how can we improve the efficiency of classroom teaching? The classroom teachers all said that the students were only afraid of the class teacher. Students also said that only in Chinese classes should they be quieter. Is that true?
On Wednesday, 4 subject teachers came to me to complain: the class of 5 could not be started! Students casually go up and down, see the teacher as nothing, the teacher talks about you, he says his, the voice covers the teacher, eats snacks, listens to MP3, everything should be, everything. alack! Is this still a classroom? When did "Truant Veyron" have a realistic version? It's simply appalling! Can students really be so blatant and unscrupulous?
Yet the reality was far beyond my imagination. On the fourth thursday morning, I went to the classroom to investigate. Through the crack in the door... Shocking, real! The anger in my heart was burning, and my hands were shaking.
I pushed the door in, and the classroom was immediately silent. I didn't say a word from beginning to end, and after three minutes of cold eyebrows, I signaled my fingers to 6 particularly out-of-line boys to leave the classroom and take them to the office.
Although in my heart I feel that disciplinary education is an indispensable and effective means of education, it is not feasible in reality. Well, then preach and remember the word "patience." I had my first intimate contact with them, and after some hard and soft treatment, and after a heartache, everyone made a written "self-diagnosis" to save the bottom. From this, I found that the students' writing, including the use of punctuation and formatting, was problematic. So the first written assignment I assigned was to teach me to write a "leave slip."
Then I thought, is it really too difficult for students to teach now? Or are we teachers degenerating? So who is tying our hands and feet? And who deprives us of the happiness and dignity of being teachers? When will the synergy of education be generated? Compared with the class teacher, is the subject teacher less opportunity and time to communicate with the students face-to-face and heart-to-heart? Maybe.
Communication
When I looked at the student condescendingly, I thought of him as cute to the poor student, and maybe there would be a chance in the future; I thought of the eugenic student that he also had an uneasy place, and could not be swept away.
I told the whole class that it is good that you know the truth and understand the mistakes, but I don't expect you to all get better all at once, and you will not repeat them in the future. But you must firmly hold on to a belief in your hearts: to change, a small progress is also success! Speaking of doing, keeping promises is the foundation of people!
I even asked some boys like this: some courses you really can't understand, so lying on the desk to rest is better than loud noise! Although this is the next strategy, it is better than nothing. Perhaps this kind of classroom discipline always has to be disciplined on the surface, subject teachers always have to feel better, and students who want to learn always have to learn more.
In physical education class, I played basketball with the boys, and there was a student evaluation: Teacher Li loves to mingle with the students.
In the "Footprints of Growth" manual, Shen Lu wrote: "I have been reading until now, you can say that the first teacher came so early, and personally cleaned the classroom. Wu Qingwen wrote: Sometimes you are very harsh on us on the surface, but sometimes in private you are so amiable, and your spirit and temperament have infected me.
Before Teacher's Day, I assigned a homework assignment: homemade greeting cards to give to the teacher who taught me. On September 10, of the large number of greeting cards I received, 6 were sent by Class 5 students.
Being able to win the favor and trust of students shows that my efforts have not been in vain, and my mood is also very comfortable. This is also the happiness and value of teachers! But I can't get overly complacent, this is just a good start, the work is complicated, intricate, need to persevere, in-depth and meticulous.
The first essay I assigned was titled "Plans for the New Semester" or "Teacher, I Want to Say to You." Among the many chapters that sang and sang, an essay written by a student named Gu Xingyao caught my attention and thinking. After the first review, I was still unsatisfied, and I took it home to re-approve. In the text, she compared me to the "dove" who occupied the magpie's nest, regarded me as the culprit of "squeezing" the original language teacher, and the ridicule and dissatisfaction overflowed into words. Sharp penmanship, quick thinking, and brilliant writing, unbelievably from the hands of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl! I fell into deep thought. Finally, I wrote in the review: I am shocked and admire your talent and courage! ...... In time, this "dove" will surely be worthy of its name and ascend to the Hall of Great Elegance!
The next day, while eating in the cafeteria, a student named Li Shishi suddenly asked me if I was angry after reading the essay. I said that I could be angry with my wife, I could be angry with my children, and I couldn't be angry with my students. Teachers and students should speak freely in order to eliminate misunderstandings and prejudices and promote harmony. Moreover, although the different voices are harsh, but the good medicine is bitter, it can completely wake me up, spur me on, and it is also an opportunity to improve and improve myself, so that the mentality will be correct and peaceful.
Management
Perhaps forced by helplessness, my patience is getting better and better, even in the face of unexpected emergencies and students who violate discipline, I can not be impatient and calmly deal with it.
No, on Wednesday morning of the second week, I was still talking to him in the office about Mo Xiaowei's lighter in yesterday's biology class, and two more students who had fought in the English class stood next to me and waited for me to deal with. The matter was not yet eyebrow-raising, and the students came to report that the fluorescent lamp in the classroom had been knocked down by Zhang Yan.
After school, I left all the boys behind and lectured fiercely. What hurts me the most is that when someone fights, no one stands up to dissuade them from saying anything, but instead takes the opportunity to coax and stir up trouble, lest the world be chaotic. From it, it reflects the deformed mutation of most boys' psychology, which has reached the point of suffocation and sadness.
After the pre-week meeting in the third week, the students had not yet finished school, and as usual, I had to make an inspection of the classroom. Who knew that when he entered the door, he saw a scene of a group of boys gambling together. When 11 people suddenly saw me, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, hurriedly collecting cards, collecting money, dodging, and under my cold gaze, each one was silent and could not move.
How does it end? Is it as angry as before, severely punishing and never condoning? Or do you ask parents to write a review and write a letter of guarantee? I warned myself: calm down, be sure to keep your head cool!
Inevitably, after a bitter and generous statement, I asked the 7 boys who were watching to choose one of the 4 "gamblers" to sincerely say a word of quitting gambling instead of me, and the recipient stood up and thanked him. I also praised two of the students who spoke very well. The last 4 "protagonists" cleaned the classroom under my director and arranged it neatly before school ended.
I don't get angry, I know that educating people can't be achieved overnight, and the transformation of habits is not an overnight achievement. They are students and can be allowed to make mistakes, even more than once. Even if they repeat their teachings, they must not lose their hearts unless their hearts are not fleshly.
In his spare time, he read the report on Li Zhenxi's deeds and felt that he was quite excellent and exemplary. However, can his ideas and measures be copied elsewhere? For example, the "Five Ones Project", such as the five-minute speech before class, such as reading extracurricular books... In reality, many teachers are impetuous, full of complaints, tired of coping, passive and numb; many students lose their ideals, have poor discipline, have bad habits, and do not seek progress.
There is always a distance between the ideal and the reality. How do I establish direction? Sometimes I also feel quite confused, there are not many ways. Friends said that Li Zhenxi was good at writing letters to parents. I think it's a smart trick to try.
I also democratically re-elected the class committee. In the first week of Friday self-study class, 3 candidates were added to the original class committee, and each student could vote by secret ballot for a maximum of 6 people. However, I did not count the votes on the spot, and only I know the final vote. I already know the finalized list. For example, Kwong Juncai, who was originally a labor commissioner, had 6 votes, which should have been brushed off, but found that she was serious and responsible in her work, and she was bold and bold, so I retained her position and added a "colleague", and at the same time found ways and means to talk and remind her of her work. Her mood has clearly risen from her loss, and her work has become more intense.
"Catch the thief before the king". Zhang Hao is a special boy, and the first key person designated by the former class teacher is him. As the best grade in the class, it is now a failed subject. Take the lead in making trouble, bump into the teacher, smoke, play cards, do everything, most of the boys are only the leader.
The first student to talk to alone chose him. I still appoint him as a sports commissioner. From the look in his eyes, I saw guilt and hope. No, there are people in the recess exercise team, the self-study class and the class leader to rectify the discipline together, and the major violation of discipline is not related to him.
A certain quality of a person, or a certain characteristic of an object, gives a very good impression, and under the influence of this impression, people will also give a good evaluation to other qualities of the person, or other characteristics of the object. The qualities or characteristics of this strong perception of love house and wu, like the aura of the moon halo, diffuse and diffuse to the surroundings, and we call this psychological effect the aura effect. Contrary to the halo effect is the demonic effect, that is, a bad impression of a certain quality of a person, or of a certain characteristic of an object, will make people less than the other qualities of the person, or other characteristics of this item. In many cases, the body of the poor students has a demonic effect, casually pick up a final score, it is not difficult for us to find that students with poor Chinese and mathematics scores, often other sub-subject results are not satisfactory. Why is that? Evaluation criteria are traditional and monotonous. This is the demonic effect of teachers on students in need, in addition, the class collective and the students themselves also have such an effect, which is a negative and terrible effect, which is very unfavorable to the development and improvement of students. What will happen to a person who can always get encouragement, support and affirmation in the process of growing up, of course, positive and sunny. Psychologically this is called constant psychological cues. Give students positive, sunny psychological cues to discover normal behaviors in people, to find shining points in people, and give affirmation, encouragement and reinforcement; for those negative and abnormal behaviors ignored or diluted, through continuous positive behavior hints, reinforcement, help clients overcome bad behaviors, and replace them with normal and reasonable behaviors. Therefore, in the process of education and teaching, I pay attention to the use of the concept of "one more ruler, one more batch of talents", and this class will be better.
Home Visits
The first home visiting student was Tu Hongqiang. They all said that his personal hygiene was extremely poor, and he spat indiscriminately. The first time I saw that there was indeed a large circle of filth under his seat, I scolded him sternly and ordered him to clean up immediately; the next day I went to see it, but it was obviously less, I tapped him with my hand, pointing to the ground, and he immediately went to get the broom; the third time I went again, I looked at it and I went straight away.
He was too talkative, chattering all day, fiddling with right and wrong. I said that good eloquence is an advantage, and you will be designated in the speech contest later, but be sure to distinguish the time and occasion. Because he had stolen money from the family several times, his parents stopped giving him a penny. At my suggestion, his father promised to give the appropriate pocket money and asked for regular billing. He was very happy, the enthusiasm came up and went out of control, and the ancient poems were memorized and memorized and immediately came again, which caused me to tell him again and again not to hurry and take it slowly, pay attention to quality and so on.
The second home visiting student was named Yin Bangqiang. He was four days late for five days, looking listless and severely malnourished all day. From his parents, I finally knew what doting was. At the end of the home visit, I only made two requests for him: one was to get a haircut and cut his hair to look like a student; the other was to get up on time and eat breakfast seriously before going to school. Anyway, the next day I touched his head and smiled and said it was off. He was no longer among those who had been late so far.
The third home-visiting student was bruce Lee. The first week was postponed because he had pink eye and had to quarantine, and the second week I greeted him in advance, and he promised to be cheerful, but on Friday afternoon he skipped school to avoid me. I had to call his father and let go when I learned that I was home. When I asked him on Monday morning why he didn't want to visit his home, he said he was afraid of his neighbors' suspicious jokes. I affirmed his self-esteem and adjusted my strategy to give his father a phone call to invite him to the school for an interview. However, he himself wanted to sign a letter of commitment to pass the various subjects at the end of the term, and he simply signed it. Whether he will take it seriously or perfunctory, I am not sure, only patience to see the after-effects.
Only by being targeted can we make a hundred shots. I had to focus on and get to know these students one by one and comprehensively. As soon as I thought of these students, vivid faces appeared in front of my eyes. I temporarily position these in my mind as students sitting together in groups, whether it is class or class, trying to do: pay more attention to the eyes, give more opportunities, encourage more intentions, discipline more repetition, reward more eccentricity, and talk with a high frequency.
"Protracted War"
Today is September 18th, just in the newspaper class, the huge sirens are repeated, vibrating deafening. Some classes were in an uproar, and some people covered their ears. I took advantage of the situation to draw students to answer the reason and meaning of pulling the alarm, and only Zhang Hao, the third one who stood up, opened his mouth to speak clearly and smoothly, and won everyone's applause. I ask the whole class to listen to and feel this voice with their hearts, in order that the national tragedy of "backwardness will be beaten" will not be repeated, and we all have the responsibility, so from now on, starting from every class, starting from every little thing.
It's almost National Day, and it's about to move into a new school site. I think the first thing in the class is to pay attention to cleaning and sanitation, buy some labor tools, put recyclable waste in another place, do some environmental protection and income generation, beautify the new classroom, fix the cleaning staff, the most difficult thing is the students' environmental awareness and hygiene habits, and they have to think of ways to work harder. In addition, it is necessary to emphasize and train the standard placement of tables and stools.
In short, there are still many things, if you want to be fast, you can't reach it, slowly do it, education is not a once and for all beautiful difference. I am mentally prepared to fight a "protracted war", or use "the road is long and the road is long, I will seek up and down" to encourage myself!
