When you open the book to the teacher, you will be deeply moved by the poem in the preface. It has no flowery words, but it is real and simple. It doesn't exaggerate the profession of teachers, it just tells you sincerely that teachers are ordinary people and teachers are not immortals; It tells you that teachers don't have to turn themselves into ashes to teach children well ... Don't believe me, listen:
Teacher, not a candle.
Teachers cannot be reduced to ashes.
To light up the students.
Teachers are not engineers of the human soul.
No one's soul is a machine.
It can be repaired at will through a certain process.
A teacher is a teacher.
And students are interdependent lives.
A teacher is a teacher.
Walking through the sacred and ordinary every day.
……
I like this passage of Professor Zhu Yongxin very much.
As an ordinary teacher, before I set foot on the three-inch platform, I knew that teachers were "the most glorious profession under the sun" and "engineers of human souls". I also know that teachers, like spring silkworms, devote themselves wholeheartedly to death. Yes, this is what teachers look like in people's eyes.
So when I saw Professor Zhu's I am a teacher, I couldn't help but sigh that this is the real teacher.
The book is divided into four series, namely:
Give me a reason to be a teacher, lend me a pair of good teacher's eyes, let me write a teacher's life legend, and let us live a happy and complete educational life.
Every article in these four series was written in a reply, in which Professor Zhu answered all kinds of puzzles of front-line teachers in the process of education and teaching.
I feel benefited from reading a complete book. Now I choose some of them to talk about my own experience.
First of all, teachers should be parents who understand their children.
"If children are not properly cared for during their growth and development, they will retaliate against society when they grow up. Ignorant treatment of children is much more terrible than ignorant treatment of adults. This will create huge obstacles in the hearts of babies, and then form a personality that hinders the development of the world. " Montessori pointed out that if parents treat their children with ignorance, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Professor Zhu pointed out that "it is terrible because children are weak, passive, resigned and irresistible, while adults are conscious, selective and irresistible."
At present, from all the news, we can often see that ignorant parents vent their anger on poor children because of their unsatisfactory work. What's more, they even discourage ignorant parents from abusing their children and publicly claim that "the child is mine and I can do whatever I want."
Faced with this, such parents really feel sad for their children. I can't imagine what their childhood would be like.
Walking with my children in the playground of No.6 Middle School last night, I saw a 3-year-old child wearing a white skirt, which was very cute. Suddenly, the little girl walked up to her grandmother and cried to pee.
Grandma looked angry and pointed at the child and swore: "I told you not to wear stockings, but you must wear them." Now you have to pee. What should I do? " The little girl was crying, and grandma lifted her skirt, rudely took off her stockings and pointed to the edge of the horizontal bar. "It's right there."
After a while, the little girl finished pulling, and grandma helped the child put on pantyhose and growled discontentedly: "You are really annoying!" " "
Seeing this scene, my heart ached. Grandma should treat her granddaughter like this. I wonder how the little girl's young heart will be hurt. In the long run, the little girl's character will definitely be influenced by her grandmother.
Be patient with children, listen to their language carefully, don't be impatient, and don't express your inner anger. Because children have only one childhood, we should cherish every moment, grow up with them, don't give birth to them, but don't educate them and throw them to our parents.
"The most effective way to influence children is to grow up with him and set an example for him. You should do what you ask him to do first. You ask him to have an ideal, and you must be a person with a dream; If you want him to study, you must first become a fondle admiringly person. You ask him to keep a diary. You must first become a person who records your daily life. You ask him to be neat and clean, and you can't be sloppy yourself. "
I think we should treat not only our own children, but also the students in our class.
Second, be good at using the strength of parents.
"When students' parents become teachers' teaching assistants, teachers can play a greater role in education and teaching as if they had superhuman powers." One sentence shows the important role of parents in teachers' teaching.
From this, I thought of Guo, who is called "Sister Hurricane". She insists on writing letters to parents every week, telling them about their children's performance in a week, so that they can actively participate and educate their children together.
In this respect, I am not good enough. I am an introvert and I am not good at communicating with my parents. Although I have been a class teacher since I taught, I have applied for the director of the moral education department several times, but I am not the right person. Because there is no one around to recommend myself, I have been a class teacher.
What impressed me the most was the Dragon Boat Festival last semester. We are going to hold a "parent-child jiaozi" activity this year. Because I didn't communicate well with my parents in advance and didn't fully mobilize the strength of the parents' Committee, one day, at the beginning of the activity, there was a chaotic picture, and then I saw that the class next door was going on in an orderly way. My heart is extremely uncomfortable. I will never forget that time.
From that activity, I deeply understood how important it is to make full use of my parents' strength and be good at communicating with them.
Third, teachers and students * * * read and start a beautiful reading journey.
"Living in a different language environment means living in a different world. Reading a book means creating and having the same language and password. * * * Reading is living with people who read the same book. If there is no * * * reading * * writing * * * cohabitation, teachers and students, parents and children, students and students are strangers under the same roof. "
Therefore, it is very meaningful for teachers, parents and children to read one book at a time.
Looking back on the last class, I carried out the activity of "* * * reading * * * books" in my class. I took my children to participate in the "Hundreds of Classes and Thousands of People Reading Activities". After one semester, we read four books: One Hundred Skirts, Green Bouncing, Cat Hala Shop and Teacher Tortoise. Every day I will use the afternoon reading time to read with my children.
Sometimes, I will let my children go to school by train; Sometimes, I will read it aloud to the children; Sometimes, I will take a question out of the book and discuss it in class.
I still remember when we were reading One Hundred Skirts, when the children liked which character in the book, they spoke enthusiastically one by one, and some blushed because they disagreed with each other. I know the children are immersed in the discussion one by one.
In our final creative writing, I asked the children to complete their "100 skirts" together. In their works, skirts are very creative.
Our works have also been included in the first volume of Creative Writing in Primary Schools by Guo, a special teacher.
Remember * * * reading Naoko Anfang's "Green Jump" has an introduction about coffee. I launched a "DIY" activity in my class, and some children brought food cooked with their parents to the class to share with their classmates. Such a picture is really intoxicating.
I still remember that our children participated in the national creative competition in several activities of studying in * * * *, and two children, Yang Chen and Liu Cheng, won the third place in the country. I am glad that the children can take the initiative to participate in the expert competition.
Parents' participation is also indispensable in reading activities. In this regard, some parents find various excuses or really have reasons. They are very busy and have nothing to see, but they can take time to read with their children as long as their parents want.
Professor Zhu is right. "No matter what kind of life you study, it will obviously affect the spiritual world of both students and lay a solid foundation for forming the same language, password and values."
Fourth, health is a teacher's first wealth.
"Health is 1, and everything else is 0. Only health, the latter 0 makes sense. " This sentence, for me who just stepped into the post of teacher, has no deep meaning.
At that time, I was still young, and there was nothing wrong with taking care of my health. So when the students were short of teachers, the leader arranged for me to teach Chinese in two classes and be the head teacher, I hesitated, but I still felt very competent.
I can't remember how many nights I buried myself in correcting my homework; I don't remember how many times, students have finished class and helped their children with counseling; I don't remember how many times, not being late has become a luxury, even drinking water in the office after class has become a luxury.
At that time, from a personal point of view, I was extremely irresponsible to myself. That is, in those years, my body was overdrawn in advance, so I couldn't sleep all night because of low back pain.
That night, particularly long, lying in bed, like thousands of needles in the same; No matter which sleeping position, it is equally uncomfortable. That kind of pain, only experienced, will know that it is really painful; You will never know that feeling until you experience it, and it is extremely bad for you to do so.
As Professor Zhu said, "Overspending your life and doing things is not worth advocating, and of course it is not a case."
Therefore, health is a teacher's first wealth.
With health, we can talk about work and family, be kind to children, communicate with parents better in class, devote ourselves to our daily work and become a happy teacher.
Fifth, be a happy teacher.
"Happiness at home and happiness in the classroom are complete happiness. The model teachers of new education should not be those who stick to the classroom at the expense of health and family, but should be those who are physically and mentally healthy, love life, and can be competent as fathers, mothers, lovers and children. They are good teachers. "
Private schools are much more tired than public schools. I've always wanted to take my children with me.
However, due to work intensity and family reasons, this idea can only be my dream, but it has been lingering in my mind. Whenever I see a child sitting below in class, I will think about what the child is learning.
It is not uncommon to neglect one's own children for the sake of the children in the class. Some teachers have to wait at the door pitifully in order to celebrate the festival for the children in the class; Some teachers, because of temporary occupation, can't fulfill the promise of companionship; Some teachers, the child was ill, but when it was time for class, he couldn't take the child to see a doctor, and missed the best opportunity. ...
The happy and complete educational life advocated by the new education has not brought professional dignity and happiness to our front-line teachers?
Every educator, when we love life more, know life better and inject thinking and vitality into our work, isn't this the happy life we are pursuing?
If so, even if we try again, what can it be?
Work hard for a happy life in our hearts!
Borrow the slogan of new education to end today's sharing:
"Action, there will be gains, persistence, there will be miracles."
