Huangshan Tourism Management School is located in huangshan district, Huangshan City, in the center of "two mountains and one lake" (Huangshan, Jiuhuashan and Taiping Lake) in Anhui Province. Established in 1984. It is a national key secondary vocational school integrating vocational education, adult education and short-term training, the second batch of national reform and development demonstration schools, the demonstration base of tourism talents training in Anhui Province, and the lead unit of Anhui Tourism Vocational Education Group. 20 18 was designated as "National Model School for the Reform and Development of Secondary Vocational Education" by the Ministry of Education on September 27th.
In view of the characteristics of vocational schools and the changes of social needs, the school has been exploring, boldly reforming and striving for pragmatism in the aspects of specialty setting, curriculum arrangement, educational methods, teaching methods and academic evaluation.
1. In terms of specialty setting, according to the advantage that the school is located in a tourist area and the demand for tourism talents is in short supply, the majors of tour guide, cooking, tourism management and service are given priority, supplemented by other majors such as electromechanical, accounting, computer, auto repair, counterpart education and five-year higher vocational education, so as to meet the needs of students and talents with different interests and different selection levels to the maximum extent.
2. In the course arrangement, focus on cultivating students' professional ability, emphasizing the professionalism and practicality of the course. In addition to using the textbooks stipulated by the state, a large number of school-based textbooks for cultural courses and professional courses have been compiled, striving to be close to students, life, society and apply what they have learned.
3. In the way of educating people, we emphasize moral education first and pay attention to cultivating students' noble moral quality and good behavior habits. Through "classic reading", let children feel the excellent traditional culture of the motherland; Let students grow up healthily and happily under the influence of beauty through "one song a week"; Establish student associations such as "National Flag Team", "Tea Art Team", "Etiquette Team", "Chorus Team", "Dance Team" and "Youth Volunteer Service Team" as well as interest groups for various cultural and sports activities such as calligraphy, painting and ball games, so that students can stretch their bodies and minds, hone their skills and improve their quality in colorful activities, thus promoting their study and laying a solid ideological, material and social foundation for the future.
4. In teaching methods, we emphasize flexibility, diversity and entertaining, and abandon the old methods that are scripted, boring and divorced from reality. To stimulate students' interest in learning and teach them to be human beings and do things as the starting point and the main direction is skill training, so as to comprehensively cultivate students' comprehensive quality and practical ability. Strengthen the combination of work and study, so that students can systematically learn theoretical knowledge and also carry out practical operations.
5. In academic evaluation, the credit system is implemented. Students' practical ability, operational ability and practical ability should be evaluated, not just exam results. This evaluation mechanism and method of respecting individuality and seeking truth from facts has been recognized and loved by the majority of students, especially the so-called "poor students" group.
The school adheres to Scientific Outlook on Development, takes service as its aim, takes employment as its orientation, constantly expands the connotation of vocational education, and achieves fruitful results in running schools.
