Yu Xi: Strong country must first strengthen education, strong education must first strengthen teacher education | Teacher | Yu Xi
A strong country must first have strong education, and strong education must first have strong teachers.
1、 Teachers are not only "teachers", but also "great gentlemen" with noble conduct
The fundamental of education lies in nurturing people, and the fundamental of nurturing people lies in cultivating morality. "Talent cultivation must be a process of unifying education and talent cultivation, and education is the foundation. Without virtue, one cannot establish oneself, and the root of education lies in virtue. As the foundation of education and the source of education, teachers are not only the" teaching craftsman "who transmits knowledge, but also the" great master "with noble conduct. Only then can they deserve the title of" people's teacher "and truly become the" soul engineer "who guides students to study, work, and be human.".
Ideals and beliefs are the calcium of teacher ethics. Having the country and the nation in mind, shouldering historical missions and social responsibilities, is the great virtue of people's teachers in the new era. The primary standard of "Mr. Da" is political standard, which is to firmly uphold ideals and beliefs, always stand together with the Party and the people, and consciously become a firm believer and faithful practitioner of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The heart of great love is the source of teacher ethics. "Teacher's love" is the emotional foundation for teachers to educate students and the emotional motivation for teachers to lead by example. Teaching and educating is a conscientious activity, love is the key to successful education, and it is an important symbol of teacher ethics and soul. Teachers should be loyal to the education cause of the Party and the people, with a compassionate heart, willingly stand at the three foot podium, understand, tolerate, respect and care for students with sincere love and responsibility, and shape a respectable and approachable life example in the field of education.
Moral character is the foundation of teacher ethics. Education is the communication between hearts, awakening one soul to another. During the teaching process, students will always pay attention to the words and actions of teachers, so teachers should be consistent in their work and life.
2、 Being a "great scholar" is a necessary condition for being a "great teacher"
To cultivate a new generation capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of national rejuvenation, it is necessary to cultivate a teacher team with both moral character and talent. A "great gentleman" should have both personal charm and academic charm, and being a "great scholar" is a necessary condition for being a "great gentleman".
Practice basic skills. Teachers should not only be proficient in professional knowledge and possess professional abilities, but also possess good educational concepts, skills, and methods, and break down the barriers between theory and practice. Only by studying diligently and mastering what one has learned can one discern the path being taught and master the profession being taught, thus laying a solid foundation for preaching and imparting knowledge.
Persist in lifelong learning. In today's era, with the popularization of the internet, advanced information, and explosive information, knowledge and knowledge in human society are growing exponentially. To ignite the spark of knowledge in front of students, a master must have a spirit of perseverance, lifelong learning, and mutual learning, in order to continuously deliver new knowledge to students in modern education.
Promote the spirit of innovation. Innovation is the soul of a nation's progress. Mr. Da should actively step out of his comfort zone, focus on the forefront of global academic research and major national needs, devote himself to researching practical problems that need to be solved in economic and social development, innovate educational and teaching concepts and models, and cultivate new people with innovative spirit in the era.
3、 Cultivate a teacher team with a reasonable structure and full of vitality
The current "80s" and "90s" young teachers have gradually become the backbone of the education industry, and the key to a reasonable and dynamic teacher team structure is to build a strong and orderly inheritance.
Comprehensively strengthen the leadership of the Party. Party committees and governments at all levels should fulfill their main responsibilities, regard the construction of the teaching staff as a key area of support for the development of the education industry, and enable teachers to not only receive flowers and applause, but also enjoy practical benefits and guarantees, and live a relatively dignified life. We need to strengthen the national honor system for teachers, vigorously promote the "role models" and "most beautiful teachers" among teachers, and continuously enhance their sense of honor and mission.
Establish sound institutional mechanisms. Establish a sound mechanism for the entry and exit, decision-making, departmental collaboration, and evaluation of the teaching staff, improve a fair and reasonable salary distribution system, and a scientific and standardized teacher assessment and evaluation system. Make teacher ethics and conduct the primary requirement and standard for teacher recruitment, promotion, and evaluation.
Create a positive atmosphere. Create a positive social atmosphere and promote respect for teachers and education. Improving material treatment is conducive to ensuring that teachers can teach with peace of mind and enthusiasm, while forming a social trend of respecting and valuing teachers is conducive to ensuring that teachers receive lasting respect, thus allowing them to teach with peace of mind and peace of mind. Teachers enjoy a good social reputation, which is also conducive to continuously attracting outstanding talents to join the teaching team and using them to cultivate more outstanding people.
