There is such a beautiful story: a young man who is determined to become a successful man, because of his poor family, is eager to study, works during the day and has no oil to light a lamp at night, so he catches hundreds of fireflies, puts them in gauze bags and reads books at night. He finally made a name for himself and became a generation of celebrities, from official to official ministers.
This boy is Che Yin of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Now, his hometown, an ordinary high school named "Che Yin", like him, has risen quietly after ten years of tempering.
This school is Che Yin Senior High School in Gongan County.
Che Yin Middle School in Gongan County was founded in1September 1999, 199 1. It was separated from the high school of Douhudi Middle School in Gongan County when the layout of schools in Douhu prefecture was adjusted. The original intention is to alleviate the pressure of entering a higher school in County No.1 Middle School, which is nicknamed "flood diversion area". When it was founded, the facilities were uneven, the water and electricity were impassable, the teachers were incomplete and the students were insufficient. The most prominent problem is the poor cultural foundation of students. After entering the campus, several students looked around and sat on a few red bricks, listening to the teacher's listless sermon. In the next college entrance examination, few people were admitted to the university. Parents are very sad, and teachers hang their heads. ...
However, ten years later, on the day when the school celebrated its 10th anniversary and unveiled the Jingzhou Model School, we came to this school again. What we saw and heard was unforgettable, moving and inspiring.
Today, this is a brand-new senior middle school: "honesty, friendliness, self-discipline and diligence" are their common pursuit; "Educate all employees, care for all employees and become all employees" is their common goal. In teaching management, "students are the main body, teachers are the dominant, quality is life, and management is the guarantee"; In the mode of running a school, "ordinary high schools are the mainstay, art posts are infiltrated, training is the mainstay, training is the supplement, multi-factors are promoted, and stages are diverted". This is a garden-style high school: Jia Mu is accompanied by exotic flowers and plants, fragrant and dark; The garden reflects the promenade, and the lights are shining in the shade. On campus, dust does not invade; On the first floor, the windows are bright and clean; In the apartment, refreshing and elegant; In the canteen, it is neat and bright. This is a modern senior middle school: complete physical and chemical laboratory, multimedia classroom and networked microcomputer group, and its equipment system has reached the domestic modern advanced level. This is a comprehensive high school with distinctive characteristics: they have gradually established a curriculum system consisting of compulsory courses, elective courses, on-campus and off-campus, explicit and implicit courses.
Sharpen a sword in ten years! How did they get here? From the Old Principal's "Little Autumn Harvest" to the New Principal's "Chorus"
It was difficult at first, but the biggest problem was the quality of education. The quality is not going up, which severely tests the survival of the school. In order to change this situation, a group of students in our school visited colleges and universities, investigated the demand for social talents, analyzed the characteristics of our students, and put forward the guiding ideology of "focusing on the demand for social talents, optimizing educational concepts, changing school-running models and building diversified bridges". After ten years of exploration, they have completed the "small autumn harvest" from the old headmaster to the "chorus" of the new headmaster, and successfully achieved three leaps in the reform of school-running mode.
The old headmaster said: We should have a "small autumn harvest".
Facing the characteristics of the students in the car, after being pushed out of the water on the "single-plank bridge" in Dali, Dawen, the old headmaster said: "We should cultivate talents according to the students' personality hobbies and do a good job in the small autumn harvest. "By offering interest classes such as' music, art, Japanese and sports', they divided some students with poor cultural foundation into interest groups according to their own wishes and hobbies, and adopted the way of taking cultural classes in large classes and specialized classes in small classes to teach, so that a group of so-called' double-poor students' also entered the hall of higher art education. In order to broaden the channels for art specialty students to further their studies and constantly strengthen their ties with art colleges, professors and scholars from Hubei Academy of Fine Arts, Wuhan Conservatory of Music and wuhan textile College are invited to give lectures and lectures. Now it has become the teaching practice base of Hu Mei and Wuyin. During the period of 1995, the school formally established friendly relations with Toyota West Middle School in Japan, and with the approval of the provincial education commission, the school started Japanese teaching classes, which have graduated for three times, and the enrollment rate of each college entrance examination is over 90%. Most students have been admitted to national key institutions. Nearly 500 art specialty students in this school were admitted to the Higher Art College. The opening of special interest classes makes them stand out from the three types of high schools.
The teacher said: We should be "all-rounders". Taking the road of artistic characteristics not only broadens the channels for students to become talents, but also wins a good social reputation for the school. In recent years, the number of students in this school is increasing, and the quality of students has also improved. In response to this change, they adjusted their school-running ideas in time and put forward a school-running model of "literature, science, art and Japan promote each other and develop together" The teachers said, "We should be versatile." In the process of exploration, the teaching mode of "one step ahead, two steps apart and three steps oriented" has been gradually realized. In practical work, they insist on focusing on construction and management, strengthening teaching centers and improving teaching level. Through several years' efforts, the conditions and level of running a school have changed greatly, and the quality of education has improved obviously. The number of college entrance examinations is increasing year by year, and the results of various competitions at all levels are outstanding. In 2000, in the evaluation of the current situation of running ordinary high schools in the county, the school was rated as a first-class class by the education supervision office of the county government with the first total score. Only in the 200 1 college entrance examination, more than 500 students reached the graduation line with a reference number of 600 students, among whom more than 50 students were admitted by the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, Wuhan University and other national key universities.
The new headmaster said, "We will have a choir".
Ordinary high schools should not only train qualified freshmen for higher schools, but also train reserve forces with special skills for economic construction. The task of education is internalized into the goal of running a school, which is to "find a way out for students and make everyone a talent". Che Yin people are well aware of this. In order to meet the needs of rural economic and social development, they continue to deepen the reform of school-running mode. The new headmaster led everyone to make a bold attempt and put forward that "general education, vocational education and art should be paid equal attention to and a chorus should be held". And took the lead in creating a new model of "general education+vocational education". First of all, the school has broken the restriction of general education in the high school enrollment policy. For some students who can't reach the admission score of general education, they seek parents' consent to apply for vocational high school status, which not only meets the requirements of students to receive high school education, but also makes full use of existing educational resources and expands the enrollment scale. Secondly, the school actively reforms the course teaching system. Adopt the "2+ 1" model, that is, on the basis of basically completing the high school culture class in the first two years, according to the natural differentiation of students' study and career choice in the two years, the vocational high school class will be set up in the third year of high school. This will not only enable some students to acquire certain vocational skills before employment, but also enable some students to enter vocational and technical colleges for further study through the college entrance examination. In addition, they use the school's characteristic education to offer short-term training courses in music, fine arts, Japanese, computer and etiquette, and cultivate a group of practical talents for local economic and cultural construction. 20 10 1 1, the school successfully passed the assessment and acceptance of "Jingzhou Model School" organized by the Education Supervision Office of Jingzhou Municipal Government. From the "flood diversion area" with mountains and heavy waters to the "model school" with flowers in the dark.
In those days, the students who came to learn driving were basically double poor students with poor cultural achievements and poor moral quality. Without knowledge and skills, three bloody incidents occurred in one day, which brought great challenges to the security department and the education department, and the security department became the focus of the school. Ten years of hardship is unusual. They are brave in innovation and pay attention to internal management. From the "flood diversion area" of the key middle school in Gongan County to the "model school" in Jingzhou City, the spring breeze of the people in the car came.
Tolerance and understanding make teachers responsible for themselves.
The school adheres to the "people-oriented" management concept, takes mobilizing the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of the teaching staff as the starting point and destination of management work, changes the leadership style, makes more use of incentive mechanism and emotional factors, and forms a harmonious atmosphere of understanding and respecting people within the school. Under the control of this management concept and value orientation, the school has made valuable attempts in democratization of decision-making, standardization of operation and rationalization of evaluation, and achieved remarkable results. In the process of promoting the democratization of decision-making, a group of school leaders can straighten their positions, serve the school wholeheartedly, often go deep into grades and teams to talk with teachers, and listen to the opinions of faculty and staff with an open mind. In order to avoid personal arbitrariness and decision-making mistakes, major school decisions must be studied and drafted by the principal's office meeting and discussed and approved by the teachers' congress before implementation. In order to broaden the channels of democracy and open up new avenues, the school also understands the reflection of the teaching staff on the school work through the principal's mailbox, the openness of school affairs, and democratic heart-to-heart, and actively harmonizes the relationship between cadres and the masses. In order to standardize operating procedures, enhance the transparency of school work and make school work have rules to follow. Every existing post in the school has a clear post responsibility system. Through several years' efforts, the school has formed routine management systems such as the duty system of administrative leaders, the attendance system of faculty and staff, and the monthly assessment system of teachers' work. The school has strict operating procedures on hot issues such as enrollment, infrastructure, living expenses and financial management, such as the collective examination and approval system for adjustment fee reduction, the bidding system for infrastructure budget, and the audit system for financial and property accounts, which effectively enhances the transparency of various fees. On the basis of establishing a scientific evaluation system, the school makes a reasonable evaluation of teachers' work. There are clear rewards and punishments in the setting of teachers' work tasks, the calculation of workload and the evaluation of teaching results. Using the method of "dedication+salary" to evaluate teachers, we should not only affirm teachers' work by economic means, but also encourage teachers' creation by spirit. In the way of evaluation, encourage more, blame less, discuss more, preach less, understand more and complain less. In this way, the master spirit of teachers as masters of their own affairs has been fully developed.
Caring and inducing make students feel at home.
The school always insists on putting moral education in the first place, and achieves the goal of making students "adults" by creating a good educational atmosphere. The school strives to create a safe campus and avoid bad incentives. In order to make students have a safe and stable learning environment, the school has always attached importance to safety and security work, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects: ① Leaders attach importance to it, and set up a safety work leading group with the principal as the leader, the vice president in charge of political work and education as the deputy leader, and the heads of relevant departments as members, and set up a special work class. (2) The system is sound, and the campus management system, patrol of school guards, registration of personnel in and out, sleep check of administrators and report of potential safety hazards have become routine. (3) Take effective measures to implement "key" doormen in key places such as doormen, kitchens, dormitories, etc. The school has four doormen on duty 24 hours a day, and the kitchen dining discipline is jointly maintained by the leaders, managers and students' union cadres, and the male and female dormitory administrators are responsible for checking the beds every day, especially the girls' building. One person is on duty all day, and one bed by bed is checked at bedtime. In recent years, the school has not had a vicious student fight and other safety accidents, and has been rated as "safe and civilized unit" by the provincial, municipal and county comprehensive management committees for many times. In 2000, it was awarded the title of "Safe and Civilized Campus" by the Provincial Comprehensive Management Committee. Schools often carry out moral education activities to improve students' quality. The school takes "five loves" (love the country, hometown, school, parents and classmates) education, daily behavior education, legal education and environmental protection education as the main contents, and takes raising the national flag, speech contests, debate contests, literary evenings and legal lectures as the main forms. All grades and classes are arranged according to the unified arrangement of the school, with one theme in January and once a week, so that students can distinguish falsehood, evil and ugliness in activities. In order to broaden the channels of moral education, the school takes Jinghe Martyrs Cemetery and Sheng Da Village as fixed moral education bases, and employs the leaders of the Judicial Bureau as the vice president of legal system to come to school regularly. At the same time, the school also set up a parents' committee, and often held parent-teacher meetings to learn about students' off-campus performance. Now, a trinity moral education network of "family, school and society" has been established. School moral education activities have been affirmed by superior leaders many times because of their healthy content and novel form. The "mock trial for middle school students" organized by the school was praised by the leaders of the provincial law popularization office. 1999, the "Song of Youth" party organized by the May 4th Youth Day School in 2000 once caused a sensation in Gongan County. At the same time, the school also carries out a variety of campus cultural activities with the help of campus broadcasting, cultural corridors, billboards, blackboard newspapers and other propaganda tools. The "Voice of Che Yin" radio station founded by the Youth League Committee and the Student Union broadcasts to students three times a day. The website set up by the school regularly provides mental health consultation for students. In addition, the school also set up a "fluorescent" literary society and published a "fluorescent" school newspaper. Every academic year, the school will concentrate on two weeks to carry out educational activities such as school rules, school motto, wearing school emblem, singing school songs and listening to school history among freshmen in senior high school. The strong campus cultural atmosphere not only enriches students' after-school life, but also plays a subtle educational role for students. Students' life at school is colorful and warm as home.
Innovation is the soul of the development of middle schools in Che Yin.
The school always insists on taking teaching as the center, taking quality as its own responsibility, changing educational concepts, innovating teaching methods, facing all students and improving teaching quality in an all-round way. Starting with harmonious teacher-student relationship and arousing students' enthusiasm, the school reformed classroom teaching methods and achieved unexpected results. Che Yin people regard students as the main body of teaching, and teachers respect students' personality and treat every student equally. In the eyes of teachers, there are no "poor students" on the bus and no classes in teaching. Teachers fully trust every student, fully explore every student's advantages and specialties, and believe that every student will succeed through hard work. In classroom teaching, we should correctly handle the relationship between teacher-led and student-centered, and create an equal, harmonious and democratic teaching atmosphere. On the one hand, the school insists on proceeding from the reality of students in the determination of teaching objectives, the arrangement of teaching content, the design of teaching structure and the choice of teaching methods, and does not engage in "one size fits all", "one pot" and "one pot cooking". On the other hand, in the teaching process, teachers let students fully express their different opinions, pay special attention to cultivating students' innovative thinking and practical ability, and establish a new teaching relationship with students that is "friend-oriented", "guidance" and "inquiry", instead of "paternalism", "pedantry" and "arbitrariness". A good learning atmosphere makes students feel like a duck to water, where their interests are stimulated, their self-confidence is recovered and their specialties are brought into play. According to statistics, nearly half of the students who enter the college entrance examination every year are "transfer students" (students who buy points for admission), and some students who get only 100 in the senior high school entrance examination are miraculously admitted to the university. In order to meet the new requirements of college entrance examination reform and eliminate the negative influence of "time+sweat" on students' growth, the school has reduced too many teaching hours for compulsory courses and increased the time for elective courses and activity classes, so that students can have more time for self-study and develop their personality. The school offers microcomputer courses, reading courses, music and art appreciation courses, which reduces the shoddy teaching materials and a large number of mechanical repetitive exercises, increases the time for teachers' individual counseling and material selection, relieves students' excessive psychological burden, increases teachers' teaching and research time and improves classroom teaching efficiency. The teaching achievements of the school are really hidden in the boudoir, and the smell is intoxicating. From the firefly platform in muddy grassland to the microcomputer group with cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Che Yin people will never forget that when they moved out of the city, there was only a statue of Che Yin, who was studying hard with fireflies and was surrounded by a deserted vegetable field. Ten years later, around this industrious Che Yin, colorful cherry blossoms are flying like clouds. Cold and summer are easy to celebrate, fireflies fly, cherry blossoms bloom, and Che Yin Middle School continues to grow and develop. ...
Fireflies sparkle with enthusiasm for welcoming overseas cherry blossoms.
Walking into the school gate, a statue of "hardworking yeast" introduces students into the knowledge hall. A broad main road, flanked by lush cypress trees, is vigorous and tall, indicating that the school is full of vitality all year round. The campus surrounded by trees and flowers is full of beautiful piano sounds, songs and flutes ... camphor trees, cypress trees, pine trees, peach blossoms, orchids, roses and begonia in the botanical garden ... all these not only increase students' knowledge, but also inspire students and feel the call of beauty. While paying close attention to the "four modernizations" of greening, beautification, purification and fragrance, the school has built more than ten scenic spots, large and small. The art museum has a unique shape, red columns and green vines, vigorous calligraphy, gorgeous articles and colorful pictures. How can students not be gentle and colorful? On the court, the dragon leaps and tigers leap, the heroic spirit is soaring, and cheers and cheers are endless. There are always new exhibitions of art, calligraphy and award-winning articles in the publicity column of the classroom wall newspaper. Teachers and students compare their poems, paintings and calligraphy works ... The "materialized" environment of the school campus is rich in ideological content and strong artistic appeal in time and space, full of dynamic beauty and static beauty, including both internal beauty and external beauty, so that students can always be influenced by beauty, inspired by beauty, inspired by beauty and stimulate rich imagination. Japanese friends presented thousands of cherry trees to the school. Fireflies twinkle in summer and cherry blossoms bloom in spring. It has played a positive role in nourishing students' temperament, personality and hobbies. It can really be said that "the wind sneaks into the night and moistens things silently."
The bright screen constitutes the modern scenery of the students.
They insist on "high starting point, high standard and high quality" for infrastructure construction, and the conditions for running schools are gradually improved. The school covers an area of 36,358 square meters, with a building area of 302 12.3 square meters and fixed assets of nearly 30 million yuan. The two teaching buildings are magnificent, and each classroom in the building is equipped with an advanced voice training system. The two-story restaurant can serve more than 2000 students for fixed-point dining. The dining room is spacious and bright, the dining table is neat and clean, and students can enjoy beautiful music when eating. The three student apartment buildings have complete facilities, including bedroom, bathroom, closet and clothesline. A comprehensive building integrating office and experiment, with a microcomputer room, can be used by a class of students to operate on the computer at the same time; The science, chemistry, biology and engineering laboratories that meet the national first-class standards can be used for students of two classes to do various operational experiments at the same time; A multimedia network classroom with 200 students attending classes at the same time; Reading rooms and campus websites with nearly100000 books; There is an art room for students of two classes to paint at the same time, and a piano room for students of 1 class to practice at the same time. In addition, the school sports facilities are complete, including standardized track and field, 1 football field, 2 cement basketball courts and sports equipment of 65,438+10,000 yuan. The campus layout is reasonable, with trees and flowers all year round. It is a municipal "garden-style" school.
The bright stars ushered in the brilliant spring of rejuvenating the school through science and education.
In accordance with the general requirements of "being a model, being proficient in teaching and being proficient in teaching", the school promotes teachers' professional ethics, teaching level and academic level in an all-round way by means of activities, teaching research and touching therapy. In order to strengthen teachers' dedication and love for students, they have carried out activities such as "double learning (learning ethics, studying lessons and studying politics), double comparison (comparing dedication and contribution)," party member and cadre demonstration post ",which enabled teachers to cultivate their ethics, correct their style of work and abide by the style of teachers, and formed a" dedicated, loving teaching, knowledgeable and rigorous "teaching team. In order to improve the academic level of teachers and broaden their knowledge, the school encourages teachers to participate in various forms of academic education to meet the standards by taking the treatment of "job evaluation, housing allocation, evaluation first and promotion" as a lever. The school has full-time teachers 1 person, 4 graduate teachers, 2 undergraduate teachers and more than 20 correspondence and distance education teachers. Two years later, the qualified rate of school teachers reached over 90%. In order to arouse the enthusiasm of qualified teachers for further study, President Dai also took the lead in the correspondence study of graduate students majoring in education management in Hubei University. With the popularization and application of information technology in education and teaching, it has brought challenges to the "teacher" of "a piece of chalk and a book". In order to make teachers move from experience to theory, from passive teaching research to active teaching research, the "research school" project driven by subject research is implemented. Since 2000, the school has undertaken the project of "teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and promoting students' multi-level development" issued by the Provincial Academy of Educational Sciences, and also accepted the project of "promoting personality development and promoting students' self-renewal" by the Municipal Academy of Educational Sciences. In the research of the subject, President Dai Yuan took the lead in writing a paper, and his article "Theory and Practice of Teaching Students in Accordance with Their aptitude" was compiled into "Excellent Papers of the President". More than 50 papers written by teachers have been published or won prizes in national and provincial newspapers and periodicals. The teaching department of the school takes the Education Newsletter as the position, which promotes the improvement of teachers' educational theory level and publishes the Collection of Excellent Essays for Middle School Teachers in Che Yin. With a flick of a finger, Che Yin Middle School has gone through ten years. In the past ten years, Che Yin people have had countless dreams, which triggered endless creativity, which is a powerful driving force for the development of middle schools in Che Yin.
When we left this beautiful campus, President Dai said earnestly, "As a newly-built school, she still has a long way to go. Our work is trivial and systematic. As long as we do every small link well, the wonderful work of our innovative education will definitely be better and more brilliant. "
Lingshan Xiushui gave birth to wise Che Yin people!
Leaving the campus, the sound of the piano is lingering with the golden wind, which makes people vaguely; Danqing reflected the sunset beautifully, as if seeing guests off.
Here, we would like to say to readers-a visit to Che Yin Middle School in the process of reform and development!
