Everyone is building his own thinking mode with his own understanding and experience, and then using this thinking mode to understand the world.
Because of different modes of thinking, different people do the same thing, and the effect will be completely different. That's why we often say:
Ordinary people change the results, excellent people change the reasons, and top excellent people change the model.
The gap between top excellent people and ordinary people actually lies in their completely different thinking modes.
In the process of communicating with the English teacher in Xinyi Street, I repeatedly mentioned the word "thinking". We should learn to use the mode of critical thinking to let ourselves learn to think. Why? What is this? How come? How?
Professor Wang told us more than once that a good education must be people-oriented education. Only by knowing who I am first can children find out who she is.
Education is a process of self-knowledge.
Many of our children go to school with schoolbags on their backs every day, but they seldom think about why I go to school, what I study for and how I should study. Many of our parents will emphasize "study hard at school" in front of their children, but they don't tell them what learning is like and what to do to study hard.
This in itself is a question worthy of our consideration.
We are English teachers, but we seldom do things with English thinking. We only see English knowledge, just as we look at a tree. We pay attention to leaves or fruits first, and we expect better results. After a long time, we forget that planting trees requires roots.
We often say that it is better to teach students skills than to teach them skills, which reminds us that teaching students skills is more important than teaching students knowledge, and the cultivation of skills cannot be separated from thinking, which requires us to play in English classroom teaching.
For example, when we were in class, we found such a picture on the blackboard. What are we going to do? The usual practice is to ask the students who draw, then continue their education and finally clean the blackboard.
So what would a thoughtful teacher do? He will use these three paintings to serve his teaching and pursue the maximization of learning effect.
For example, we can let students observe these three paintings and describe them in English. We can also ask students to sort the three paintings by year; We can also use three pictures to talk about the three levels of adjectives ... Of course, I will also tell students how to draw a good portrait, and pay attention to the rule of "three courts and five eyes" when painting.
Who will clean the blackboard? Is it a student on duty? I think if it were me, I would say, "These paintings are so wonderful that I can't bear to erase them. Let the owner of the painting do such a cruel thing! " In this way, we can know who painted it, and we can also communicate with the student privately to guide him to do the right thing at the right time and place.
For example, when we mark papers, we mark papers, but smart teachers will pursue different things.
When Mr. Ting Min was correcting the math paper, I found her words of encouragement on the paper, which was inspired by my wisdom, and I also learned to mark the paper with Mr. Ting Min.
We need to change our minds.
Thinking transformation is to change the way you understand the world.
If we only want to make minor changes, we can just focus on our attitudes and behaviors, such as emptying cups. But if you want to make substantial changes, you need to "change your mind" and maybe even change the cup.
How to convert? That is to read more books, make more friends and travel more.
Every book is a set of "thinking mode".
The more books you read, the more different modes of thinking you will know, and the more helpful it will be to turn on the switch of "thinking transformation".
It is recommended to read at least 20 books every year. If you have no time, you can listen to books. This could happen at any time. For example, you can listen to it when eating, driving to work or even before going to bed. Even if it's only half an hour at a time, time will prove that you listen more and more, and your mind will definitely change.
Of course, for making friends, this requires us to go out. I met many people in the fitness center. They are elites from all walks of life. They are all role models for me to learn from. For example, Liu Wei, who chose to take the lecturer's certificate after retiring, is still a master of stock trading; For example, sister Xue Rui, who loves public welfare and is virtuous; Sister Liang, for example, has always insisted that Qingshan does not relax and loves her line ... I have learned too much from them.
Chatting with different people, especially with experts from all walks of life, will give you different perspectives and wisdom about the world.
Everyone needs balance, not a single path dependence. There are not only A in our life, but also B, C, D and EFG…… ... ...
Successful people, unsuccessful people, hard-working people, down-and-out people, different life scenes, individual confusion, desires and struggles have accumulated different experiences. We will find that the more powerful people, the higher the level, the more humble they are, which is the best thinking template in itself.
If you want to turn on the switch of "thinking transformation", you have to read thousands of books and Wan Li Road, and you have to read countless people.
Our English teachers accept and transmit Chinese and western cultures, so they should have super-high thinking ability, ask more questions in teaching, think more about what else to do, learn to choose more and think more, teach seriously and engage in "improper" teaching.
The most important point is that only when our thinking is full of "positive energy" and our "life is full of positive energy" can our thinking be opened more meaningfully.
What is positive energy? In fact, positive energy is how you feel when you are associated with meaning. For example, eating a bowl of rice, you feel completely meaningless and boring, which is your feeling; But if eating this bowl of rice brings you memories, feelings, affection and care, it is meaningful, and this meaningful feeling of eating becomes positive energy.
Similarly, so do we in our teaching work. If you devote yourself to enjoying and loving every day, you will find that everything in the school is lovely, and the most troublesome children in the class have become happy today. This is the feeling and meaning that what is in your heart can bring you.
The so-called "all the best", in my opinion, is that you have positive energy in your heart and can do anything; With light in your heart, everything can be achieved!
On the way to study, let's reflect and look forward to the future together!
Grateful to grow up!
