I. School background
Background: The era of "knowledge economy" requires us to make great efforts in nationalization and pay close attention to cultivating outstanding talents with high technology, patriotism and innovation ability.
Historical Background There are a number of famous old schools in Shanghai. Due to historical reasons, the site is narrow and the facilities are aging. If we want to develop greatly, we must build a number of new schools.
Regional background The urban-rural fringe belongs to the population introduction area, and a number of high-quality schools are urgently needed to promote the development of the new area. At the same time, the low land price is conducive to the accumulation of educational resources.
International Background Since the 1950s, Russia, Europe and the United States have successively established boarding high schools in mathematics and science, which are full of talents and provide useful experience for running schools.
Market Background At present, Shanghai's "high school fever" continues, and citizens urgently demand that the only child receive high-quality high school education. Many families also want students to board, manage in a unified way and concentrate on their studies.
Educational background In the process of changing from "exam-oriented education" to quality education, it is urgent to establish a number of demonstration schools that fully implement quality education and experimental schools that realize educational modernization.
Under these six backgrounds, the concept of modern boarding high school came into being.
Second, the development orientation
The construction of modern boarding high schools should be regarded as one of the important measures to actively adapt to the development of the times and social needs, comprehensively improve the quality of citizens, cultivate innovative talents and implement the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education.
The goal of running a school is:
On the original basis, gradually form its own characteristics, the implementation of quality education model schools.
An experimental school that fully develops the potential of each student and makes the special talents of gifted students fully and harmoniously develop.
Become a community education, science and technology, cultural center, spiritual civilization construction base, open window school for foreign exchange.
A boarding science high school that can talk to world-class science high schools and compete with public and private science high schools.
Third, the training objectives
To provide high-quality basic education for young people, this kind of education is not only to pursue advanced studies and win prizes in competitions, but also to pay attention to the sustainable development of people, fully explore the learning potential and personality of each student, cultivate outstanding talents with research ability and innovative spirit, and closely link personal development with the interests of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics country.
The basic qualities of students: self-esteem, self-confidence, self-discipline, optimism, broad-mindedness, self-study, lifelong learning, independent thinking, courage to innovate, perseverance, pursuit of Excellence, wide knowledge, keen thinking, strong adaptability, compassion and responsibility, creative and rigorous thinking strategies, effective information selection, processing and application, understanding and respect for others, and good communication and cooperation with people.
Fourth, the concept of running a school.
1. course-a challenging course
Courses should reflect the new achievements and trends of high technology.
The course should not be restricted by the current textbooks and syllabus of key middle schools, and it is conducive to discovering students' multiple intelligences and individual specialties. Increase elective courses for students with special talents and communicate with universities.
Attach importance to comprehensive courses, students must see the relationship between disciplines and their life skills, and attach importance to experiential learning.
While attaching importance to science courses, we also attach importance to humanities courses and art education, so that students' personalities can develop harmoniously and healthily.
Develop summer courses, winter camps and summer camps full of adventure spirit and hard education through the Internet, conduct laboratory study and experiments in colleges and universities, become sworn sisters with foreign first-class high schools and organize students to exchange visits, organize scholars, scientists and outstanding talents in various fields to give special lectures in schools, broaden students' horizons and cultivate outstanding talents with high taste, high quality and high cultivation.
2. Seven points that should be paid attention to in teaching
President Michael Williams of Puyallup School District, Washington, USA, mentioned seven points that should be paid attention to in high school teaching for 2 1 century for reference:
Cooperative learning and group learning (teachers have changed from "saints on the podium" to promoters of students' learning).
Comprehensive course (when all subjects are integrated, we should see their relationship with life skills).
Multiple intelligences (language, logic, music, spatial vision, body movements, interpersonal communication, introspection).
Thinking skills (critical thinking and creative thinking).
Evaluation (let students know the criteria used to evaluate them before learning).
Technology (using network and multimedia).
Class environment (encouraging a group of students with different personalities to be confident and successful).
3. Management-the implementation of scientific management
Flexible placement is implemented, and some subjects are placed according to the degree (such as foreign languages). Gifted students can receive a variety of courses, allowing early placement and accelerating development. If they can't keep up with their work, they can be reduced; Allow "truancy". If a subject is outstanding, you can take one or several classes and graduate from a single subject.
The teaching requirements for students should be based on the principle of not capping the top and guaranteeing the bottom. The core courses should meet the basic quality requirements, and students with special talents should be encouraged to take the lead, innovate, enrich and accelerate.
Pay attention to absorb the latest research results of educational anthropology, educational ecology, educational sociology, educational talents and educational psychology, and implement scientific management. For example, educational anthropology attaches importance to the study of individual living space, which is concrete, microscopic and miniaturized. It can be used to guide the study of dormitory subculture, interpersonal intimacy, the best use and choice of people and life time, etc.
Do paramilitary physical exercise in the morning; Focus on the core courses in the morning and carry out basic ability training in a down-to-earth manner; In the afternoon, a variety of elective courses and extracurricular activities are carried out to encourage students to choose freely and develop their personality; Give priority to self-study in the evening. There is tension and relaxation, and the movement is combined.
4. Teachers-move towards high education and high quality.
Select teachers with master's and doctor's degrees to enrich the team of high school teachers and offer master's courses for in-service teachers. All teachers are required to surf the Internet as soon as possible and master modern educational technology.
Cultivate and select teachers with research ability as mentors for gifted students. Teachers and students cooperate to carry out research projects, and the school provides research funds and publishes student academic journals.
Set up a psychological counseling room to provide psychological counseling.
Boarding high school teachers have high academic qualifications, high quality and high treatment, and all teachers are employed, and the survival of the fittest is eliminated.
Some foreign teachers can be hired to teach foreign languages, so as to improve students' oral ability and cultivate international and compound talents.
5. The headmaster-the stage for educators to realize their ideals
Select outstanding talents with reform spirit, innovative consciousness, love for the motherland, noble personality, high educational theory accomplishment and rich educational practice experience as principals. Schools should become a stage for educators to realize their educational ideals and ambitions, and principals should be given full autonomy in running schools.
Principals can openly enroll students at home and abroad. Open and fair competition, merit-based recruitment.
The term of office of the principal is five years, and a school can only be re-elected twice. Implement the avoidance system.
6. Enrollment-multi-assessment, giving priority to the best and giving consideration to fairness.
For junior high school graduates in the city to enroll students according to their academic qualifications, students with the same academic qualifications can enter school in advance after passing the examination.
Organize expert group proposition, combining subject examination, school recommendation, interview and psychological measurement.
Give priority to the best and give consideration to fairness;
60% students are gifted, have special talents and have excellent grades;
Students with special needs (such as children of overseas personnel, children of brave martyrs, children of field workers, orphans, disabled teenagers with special talents, etc.). ) recommended by the school and qualified10 ~15%;
65,438+05 ~ 20% of the candidates (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) are entrusted at their own expense;
Excellent minority students from poor provinces and regions are trained free of charge, accounting for 10%.
7. Cooperation with universities
Boarding senior high schools should cooperate with universities in teaching, scientific research, teacher training, textbook construction, resources and equipment, information materials, early admission of gifted students and so on.
Boarding high school teachers communicate with university teachers and take part-time classes.
University libraries, laboratories, gymnasiums and other facilities (negotiated by both parties) are open to boarding students with excellent capital in China free of charge.
Universities use summer vacations or weekends to offer gifted courses for high school students with special talents; Lectures and elective courses are usually offered.
8. Working with the community
Sharing of school resources and community education resources. Children's palaces, gymnasiums, scientific research institutions and large modern enterprises in the community should be open to schools, and some school facilities can also be opened to nearby residents at night or on weekends.
The community can jointly organize art festivals, science and technology festivals, book festivals, sports meetings, etc. with schools.
Schools, communities and garrison troops can all build spiritual and civilized communities.
Organize students to participate in social practice, and regularly carry out voluntary service activities such as helping the disabled, respecting the elderly, drug rehabilitation, greening, traffic safety and environmental protection in the community.
9. Cooperate with parents
Set up a parents' committee to maintain regular contact and communication with the school and participate in the democratic management of the school.
Parents' schools will be held to let parents and students grow together and improve the family education environment.
Invite excellent parents to be part-time teachers or volunteers (such as managers, logistics services, individual counseling).
Hold school open days regularly, so that parents can fully understand the school work and students' study and life at school.
10. educational technology-matching with first-class cities
Establish a network classroom and widely use multimedia technology in teaching.
Establish first-class laboratories, gymnasiums, multi-function halls, swimming pools, libraries, voice classrooms and computer classrooms, strengthen personnel training and improve equipment utilization.
Develop computer software, computer management and auxiliary teaching.
Advocate self-made teaching AIDS and learning tools, and carry out small creative and inventive activities.
Verb (short for verb) supports plan.
An expert group is jointly established by Shanghai Academy of Educational Sciences, Shanghai Teaching and Research Section, Shanghai Audio-visual Education Museum, East China Normal University and Shanghai Normal University to provide intellectual support, and is responsible for the overall planning of boarding high schools, the design and compilation of curriculum materials, the selection of educational technologies and strategies, and the guidance of in-service teachers' continuing study, research and training.
In a planned way, senior experts are sent to foreign first-class boarding high schools for short-term visits to learn from school-running experience.
The mayor's education award will be established to reward schools, teachers, principals and students who have made outstanding contributions and achievements in education reform and development, and certificates will be issued to gradually form a guidance and incentive mechanism.
The Municipal Education Commission should ensure that the average annual education expenditure of boarding high schools is three times that of key high schools. At the same time, we should open up more channels to collect donations for boarding high schools from the society and at home and abroad.
Organize boarding high schools and key high schools in the city to carry out colorful competitions, exchange visits and exchange activities to learn from each other's strengths. I hope it helps you! !
