Over the past 40 years, the school motto of "being a true and kind person" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the school has gradually formed the teaching style of "exploring and innovating, being rigorous and realistic" and the study style of "being civilized and realistic, and cooperating and creating".
In recent years, the school attaches great importance to the construction of environmental atmosphere. Through self-financing, the difficulties of outdated school buildings and narrow space have been overcome, and the hardware facilities have been transformed year by year, creating a beautiful learning and working environment for teachers and students. Now, the wooden windows of the teaching building have been replaced by steel windows; The teaching building is paved with wall tiles and floor tiles; According to the requirements of small class education, each classroom is equipped with a TV set, a single desk and chair, a small class blackboard and a special cupboard for students ... In addition, we have built a new dance studio and multi-functional classroom covering an area of 1.20 square meters, with complete facilities, including advanced computer room, red scarf TV station, lively and interesting biological corner, computer corner, fitness park and so on. Children can wander around in it.
The layout of our campus environment is full of warmth and humanistic encouragement and guidance. "Speak softly and walk slowly" can be seen everywhere in the corridor, reminding teachers and students to develop civilized habits at all times; Hanging children's works and children's honors is the pride and pride of all teachers and students; English promenade and science and technology promenade highlight the educational characteristics of the school ... This kind of environmental construction combines the wisdom and emotion of teachers and students, making the campus truly a learning garden, paradise and garden for children. Similarly, the walls of every class and classroom have become a paradise for children to show their individuality and experience success. Children learn to decorate their own classrooms, such as chapter bar, theme activity bar, biology corner, book corner, information corner, personality corridor, etc ... These pages show and record the footprints of students' growth. People who went to primary school before feel different when they step into primary school now. They are more and more beautiful and feel at home.
The school attaches great importance to education and scientific research and takes the road of connotation development. More than ten years ago, the principle of running a school was put forward, that is, "to ascend the ladder through education and scientific research, and to seek quality through education and scientific research." From 65438 to 0988, the school organized teachers to carry out the research on "learning methods for primary school students". Through this study, the school's educational research has been at the forefront of the whole region. Since 1992, relying on colleges and universities, the school has joined hands with the Department of Education of China Normal University to carry out the research on "Basic Education and the Development of Students' Self-education Ability". Professor Ye Lan listed our school as a national experimental base for basic education and scientific research. The research at this stage has obviously changed teachers' educational concept, enhanced their awareness of scientific research, and gradually strengthened the scientific research atmosphere in the school. 1998, we had the honor to participate in the research of the national project "New Basic Education" chaired by Professor Ye Lan, and carried out all-round research with the focus on classroom teaching reform and class construction.
We suggest that teachers should "crouch down" to communicate with students and walk into the classroom with the consciousness of "serving the growth of students" every day; When preparing lessons, we should fully understand the subject value of teaching materials, fully consider students' existing knowledge, ability foundation and various needs of development, carefully design flexible teaching programs, give students time and space for active exploration and self-control, and make students in an active state to the maximum extent; In the classroom, we should gradually change the "focus of attention" in teaching design, change the previous concern about teaching plans and ourselves into the concern about students, pay attention to each student's learning state, adjust their teaching strategies and methods in time with the students' real performance in the classroom, carry out "secondary design", use their "wisdom" to activate the classroom to the maximum extent, promote the dynamic generation in the classroom, and increase the multi-dimensional effectiveness between teachers and students and between students.
"Give the class back to the students and make the class full of growth", we insist on managing the class according to the theory of "new basic education". Teachers let students freely participate in the management and construction of classes, and students become class managers and begin to learn to manage classes independently. Everyone should learn to be a "small class teacher" and be a home in class management; Every student in the class has a post, and everyone understands their job responsibilities and rotates their posts regularly. In the job rotation, students gradually establish a sense of responsibility, do my best to do my job well and contribute to the class construction. Class activities, Young Pioneers activities, theme activities, etc. Mainly students, teachers just guide and participate. In the process of reform, we really feel the vitality brought by the brand-new management model to students and classes.
In February, 2006, our school held the opening ceremony of "New Basic Education" experimental school. Deputy Chief Chai Xiaomiao and the leaders in charge of the Bureau attended and made an important speech. From June 5438 to February 2002, our school accepted the national mid-term evaluation of "New Basic Education". Through a series of activities, such as attending classes, listening to teachers' reflection and reconstruction, evaluating classes, consulting experimental materials, visiting campus and class culture construction, and holding teacher-student seminars, our school ranks first among all the evaluated schools. Professor Ye Lan and the expert group of China Normal University also placed high hopes on the growth and development of experimental middle schools and teachers.
Nowadays, in addition to the in-depth study of "New Basic Education", our school also undertakes the research tasks of several topics: the national topic "Aesthetic Education Function of Campus Environment", the municipal topic "Research on Teaching Value of Mathematical Calculation in Primary Schools", the district topic "Small Class Education", "Bilingual Teaching Experiment" and "Research on English Reading Ability".
Educational research promotes the improvement of teachers' connotation and quality and the formation of teachers' "educational wisdom". At present, there are two national backbone teachers in our school, all of whom are three-star teachers in our school; There are 8 municipal backbone teachers in various disciplines. Young teachers won the first prize in Shanghai bilingual teaching evaluation, Chen Linfeng won the Shanghai Excellent Prize in Chinese Teaching Evaluation, Li Zhenyu was named as an advanced worker in Shanghai science and technology education, and Yin Yin was named as an excellent counselor in Shanghai ... Last year, ten teaching and research groups in our school won the title of excellent teaching and research groups in the whole region, and they also introduced their experiences at the commendation meeting in the whole region. More than a dozen young teachers who were sent to participate in the district-level teaching appraisal won prizes.
We believe that objective and fair evaluation of teachers and students is the guarantee of classroom teaching quality and the guarantee of improving the quality of teachers and students in all aspects.
As a pilot school of "small class education" in the region, we have also conducted a study on "portfolio evaluation" of small classes. Observing students' life, classes and activities from multiple angles and in all directions can help students find their own advantages and disadvantages and promote their maximum development. In addition, every student in our school has a unique and warm "success bag" of his own, which is used to collect records of life and study and unique works. Last year1October 23rd, 10, our school successfully held the "On-the-spot Meeting of Small Class Education Evaluation Reform in Putuo District". Secretary Li Xuehong and leaders in charge of the Bureau attended the meeting and affirmed this work.
We also pay attention to the evaluation of teachers, and have formulated the evaluation standards of "star teachers", "model teachers" and "demonstration group of teachers' morality" and the evaluation forms of "teaching design", "classroom teaching" and "after-class reflection" to stimulate the growth of each teacher.
A series of changes, such as environmental atmosphere, classroom teaching, class construction and evaluation methods, have brought about gratifying changes for our children: in the classroom, learning autonomy has improved and they have become daring to think, ask, speak and show; In life, they are optimistic, full of confidence in themselves, dare to face themselves and challenge themselves. They are more capable, distinctive, confident and lovely. The children of our school's harmonica team participated in the first national harmonica competition, and stood out among many professional teams and art schools and won the silver prize. Later, he was invited to participate in the Asia-Pacific Harmonica Competition held in Atsugi, Japan, and won the silver medal. Every year, students participate in the District Art Festival and win the first prize and the first prize in competitions such as chorus, group dance and stage dance. Numerous honors have been won in science and technology competitions. Our school has sent students to participate in various competitions, such as composition and painting, and all of them can get good grades.
The growth and development of teachers and students also promoted the change and development of the school. It has successively won the honorary titles of Shanghai March 8th Red Flag Collective, Young Eagle Brigade of China Young Pioneers, Shanghai Code of Conduct Demonstration School, Shanghai Science and Technology Characteristic School, Shanghai Aerospace Education Characteristic School, Putuo District Golden Key Characteristic School, Putuo District Art Characteristic School and Putuo District Advanced Scientific Research Unit. It has become an experimental base for Chinese teaching in primary schools in Shanghai, a research base for the second phase of curriculum reform in primary and secondary schools in Shanghai, and an experimental school for "new basic education". These honors are the best testimony of our efforts.
In March 2003, we learned that our school was rated as a civilized unit in Shanghai. We will take this as a new starting point, continue to practice, explore in depth, strive to innovate, and greet a better future with our own practical actions!
