Recently, the General Office of the Ministry of Education issued a notice on organizing the 2023 summer teacher training activities, enhancing the comprehensive literacy of teachers, promoting the digital transformation of teacher team construction, and promoting the construction of an education strong country. From July 14 to August 31, 2023, a special theme of "2023 Summer Teacher Training" will be established on the National Smart Education Public Service Platform, providing high-quality learning resources for teachers at all levels and types, and serving to enhance their teaching and educational abilities.
Teachers at all levels and types of schools are required to complete general education content learning, focusing on improving their educational and teaching abilities, and providing classified learning content for basic education, vocational education, and higher education. The registration, learning methods, and course offerings are consistent with the overall teacher training for summer and winter vacations in 2022 and 2023. Teachers enter the special topic through the National Smart Education Public Service Platform, choose the corresponding stage of study to register, choose courses independently, complete supporting tests, and obtain corresponding learning hours. Training can be recognized as 10 hours of teacher training. After the teacher completes the training task through personal information verification and authentication, an electronic learning certificate is generated. Education administrative departments and schools in various regions will include the training hours in accordance with local regulations.
The notice proposes that all regions and schools should establish and improve the national smart education public service platform teacher winter and summer special training mechanism, incorporate special training into the annual teacher training plan, design and deploy in one. We need to optimize all aspects of thematic training, continuously improve teacher mobilization and organization, learning guidance, technical services, and class hour recognition, and focus on improving the implementation effectiveness of thematic training. We need to strengthen the independent participation of teachers, avoid coercion, ranking, and high demands, and firmly avoid formalism. At the same time, innovative learning methods should be promoted in various regions and schools to promote the digital transformation of teacher training, innovate teacher training methods, integrate online and offline, combine self-directed learning with group discussions, strengthen practical transformation, and effectively improve the learning effectiveness of teachers. We need to connect thematic training with other types of teacher training, explore the modes and mechanisms of utilizing thematic training resources, and improve training efficiency. The online studio of renowned teachers and principals on the National Smart Education Platform should actively participate in summer training, carry out collaborative teaching and research, and play a leading and driving role. In addition, increase support services. To provide timely and effective support services for teachers, optimize training guides and other support tools, strengthen telephone customer service, online duty, management support and other services, further improve the digital management system of training, make good use of the regional management support function of the platform, play the role of training managers at all levels, and improve the digital management level of teacher development.
