[Every step is a lifetime] Every step of life is a choice.

The professor was invited to give a speech at a military base. A soldier named Ralph met him at the airport. On their way to pick up their luggage, Ralph left the professor three times: the first time he helped an old woman carry a box; The second time is to lift two children and let them see Santa Claus; The third time is to show a person the way. Every time he comes back, he has a smile on his face. The professor asked him, "Where did you learn this?" Ralph replied, "In the war." Then he told his experiences on the battlefield. At that time, their task was demining, and he saw several close comrades fall down one by one. He said, "I want to learn to live step by step." I never know if I will be the next one to fall. So I must make full use of the gap between lifting my feet and landing. I feel like every step is my life. "

Specific to the field of education, teachers' educational activities, such as a lecture, an extracurricular tutoring, a conversation with students, or the teaching of various subjects, the work of each academic year, etc. Are all related to the "every step" of students' lives. Every step a teacher takes is a guide and enlightenment to students' lives. Never underestimate this "step".

In the study career, the person who has the greatest influence on us is probably the teacher; In the journey of life, how many people lament that "the teacher gave me the most beautiful scenery" ... No matter how the years change, whether we have made outstanding achievements or become ordinary people, when we look back, we will always talk about that teacher. Bing Xin wrote in the preface of the book People Who Should Be Respected: "From my life experience, apart from my parents, from my childhood to my old age, both the growth of knowledge and the cultivation of personality benefited from the teacher's teaching. Nowadays, whenever there are mood swings in my life or setbacks in my work, I can always get comfort from a loving teacher in my memory. " The growth of children is a long and irreversible process. As teachers, we should "think twice before you act" on students of every age and every stage of education, and think about how to go well at every step at present. What kind of influence will "every step" in our education and teaching have on students and what kind of value significance will it have for their future? We should pay attention not only to what we say, but also to what we do. Students' respect and worship for teachers makes teachers become angels of love and kindness in students' hearts. Every gesture and action of the teacher is the object of students' imitation. On the road of life, teachers are undoubtedly the guides of students: at every step and every journey, we should guide them carefully, help them distinguish right from wrong, distinguish true from false, distinguish good from evil, open their windows to goodness and open their doors to hearts.

"Education is the education of human soul, not the accumulation of rational knowledge and cognition." It is the sacred duty of every educator to awaken students' life consciousness, stimulate their vitality and enrich their life connotation. Teachers should promote students' development from knowledge level to life level. Pay attention not only to the internalization and generation of students' knowledge, but also to students' life growth and moral growth; We should take every step of education well, stand higher, look farther, think from the starting point, focus on the future development of students and be responsible for their lifelong happiness. Teach a student for one year and miss him for thirty years. Every class, every unit, every semester or even a longer period of education and teaching is carefully planned and implemented, trying to make students really influenced and moved from the bottom of their hearts, thus leaving a warm mark on their growth.

There is such a little boy in the class. His clothes are always dirty, he loves to lie, and his homework is sloppy. Because of his strange smell, the deskmate asked to change seats, and the team leader said that he was irresponsible and didn't be on duty on time ... In the first week of school, he entered my sight like this. In the face of his "misdeeds", I didn't criticize him directly, but went to his house to find out the situation first. Because I know that everything I say and do will have a subtle influence on this child. He needs my help, not criticism Through home visits, I know that the boy's parents work outside all the year round and have no time to take care of him. It turns out that he is a left-behind child. For such a special student, I thought of a whole set of help programs: First, I held a class meeting in my class with the theme of "Cherish friendship and learn to accept others". Children must have a partner. I hope other students can accept him as soon as possible, and he can become one with his classmates. Then, I talked with two classmates who reflected the little boy's situation, inspired them to put themselves in others' shoes and asked them to help him with me. Then, I collected the golden idea of "building a civilized and harmonious class, I offer good strategies for the class" from the whole class, and held a knowledge lecture on "speaking hygiene and staying away from diseases". Through class group activities, let him gradually realize what he should do and what needs to be corrected. In order to solve the problem of his untidy homework, I created a "writing culture" of "taking every step and practicing every word first", held a calligraphy competition and started a column of "Little Calligrapher". In the atmosphere of serious writing in the whole class, he also began to write one by one, which was much more standardized than before. In addition, I talked to him alone, asked him carefully about every problem he encountered in his study and life, discussed countermeasures with him and suggested how to solve it. After class, I played table tennis with him and gave him a small gift to make him feel my concern for him. Gradually, I found that he was quietly changing: he began to pay attention to personal hygiene, lost the strange smell, became more responsible, and even learned to help other students. Imagine if I didn't know more about the situation and guided him slowly, but criticized him indiscriminately or transferred him to a corner of the classroom casually. What kind of harm will this do to the child and what impact will it have on his life?

Life is like chess, and every step is crucial. Although one step is close, it is only between the front foot and the back foot, but "there is no accumulation of steps, even thousands of miles"; Although this step is very short, just between lifting feet and staying, it gives students a lifetime of candlelight to warm their hearts. As a teacher, if he is eager for quick success and instant benefit, he only pays attention to the quality of teaching and ignores children's psychological growth and happiness in life, then education may slip into a misunderstanding. We can't decide the length of life, but we can expand its width and raise its height. We should take "every step" of education with "conscience, wisdom and caution"
