Walking into Xintian No.1 Middle School in Yongzhou City, the most impressive things are the trees, fragrance, rational layout of various buildings, harmonious atmosphere and positive mental outlook of teachers and students. The school is located in Xintian County, a remote mountainous area in Hunan Province. In April this year, it was approved by the Provincial Department of Education as a provincial model high school. In the school honor room, there are more than 20 national, provincial and municipal honor cards, such as "advanced unit of national sports traditional project school", "national education network system demonstration unit", "provincial civilized unit", "provincial garden-style unit", "provincial excellent school of art education" and "provincial advanced unit of mass sports work". In 2004, the Ninth Middle School Sports Meeting in Yongzhou, the Comprehensive Seminar on Liberal Arts in Yongzhou in 2005, the English Quality Class Competition in Yongzhou, the Mathematics Quality Class Competition in Yongzhou and the Principal Association of Yongzhou Demonstration Middle School were all held in Xintian No.1 Middle School. Xintian county has a population of only over 300,000, and its students are narrow. Why is a mountain middle school like No.1 Middle School so eye-catching? So popular and famous in southern Hunan? We found the answer from the characteristics of the school. In recent years, the school has taken the road of "characteristic-driven and all-round development", formulated and implemented eight major projects, and promoted other projects with characteristic projects. The road has become wider and more brilliant. Hold high the banner of sports art and implement the "characteristic project" in the development thinking of Xintian No.1 Middle School, instead of blindly comparing the enrollment rate, we should find a new way to give priority to the development of sports and promote the all-round development of the school. Based on the concept of "all-round training and developing specialties", the school has promoted quality education in an all-round way by optimizing sports development and relying on strong sports spirit to educate people, which has promoted the all-round improvement of school education quality. Physical education is the school's strong point, and No.1 Middle School has made great achievements in provincial and municipal sports meetings. Since 1998, it has won gold medal 108 and silver medal 12 1 in provincial and municipal sports meetings. Two first-class athletes have been trained for the country, 100 more than two-class athletes and more than 300 third-class athletes. In 2005, at the 9th Track and Field Games of Hunan Sports Traditional Project School held in Yueyang City, the school team achieved excellent results, among which Yongzhou team won 5 gold medals, the second in junior middle school group, the fifth in team group, and also won the title of "Sports Morality and Fashion Award". This year, Zhou Xiaolin, a student, won silver medals in women's T46 400m and 800m at the National Athletics Championships for the Disabled, of which 800m broke the record of the National Paralympic Games. The student has been selected into the national training base for disabled athletes and is expected to participate in the 2008 Paralympic Games. The vigorous development of sports has enhanced the collective sense of honor and pride of teachers and students in the school, laid a solid foundation for moral education and teaching management, and greatly promoted the implementation of various projects. Strengthen moral education management and implement "normative project". The school attaches great importance to moral education, establishes a people-oriented moral education concept, and emphasizes people-oriented and human development. Arm people with scientific theory, guide people with correct public opinion, shape people with noble spirit and inspire people with excellent deeds. Mobilize people's positive factors, highlight people's creative vitality, and maximize people's subjective initiative. Activate other work through moral education. The school has established a systematic and high-quality moral education team, realized the "three-line" management, and improved the moral education work network, that is, "the principal's office, the political and educational department, the grade group", "the class teacher, the class cadre" and "the school, society and family". Moral education is characterized by etiquette education and legal education, emphasizing the principle of "civilized self-discipline, taking law as the moment", carrying out various forms of moral education, and paying attention to educating and edifying people in activities and practice. Moral education in this school focuses on the transformation of potential students, and takes incentive education, appreciation education and infiltration education as the main means. Pay attention to the education of students at three levels. The first level is the education of school discipline and social morality. Mainly through the "code", "norms" and other students to develop education. The second level is the education of students' autonomy, self-discipline and self-improvement. The third level is the education of "three views and three principles" (that is, world outlook, outlook on life, values, patriotism, socialism and collectivism). The school has organized an amateur party school to cultivate students' Marxist world outlook, outlook on life and values through various forms such as party classes, group classes, reading newspapers and watching warning educational films. This year, through the series of activities of "learning' eight honors and eight disgraces' and establishing a socialist concept of honor and disgrace", the spirit of all teachers and students who love the motherland, love their hometown, abide by the law, study hard, struggle hard and be willing to contribute has been enhanced, which has reserved spiritual food for the further development of the school. Strengthening teaching management and implementing the teaching quality of "excellent project" are the lifeline of the school. Therefore, the school has always taken strengthening the routine management of teaching and improving the quality of teaching as the top priority. The school encourages teachers to renew their ideas and innovate boldly, and actively advocates teachers to change their "roles", from focusing on teachers' "teaching" to students' "learning", from focusing solely on results to focusing on the unity of process and results, from teacher-centered to student-centered, and teacher-student interaction. Teaching management mainly emphasizes "three stresses, one push and one responsibility". That is to say, we should grasp the routines of "teaching", "learning" and "managing", grasp the implementation of the system, do a good job in the three-layer analysis meeting of teaching quality, and implement the measures of pushing the door to attend classes. While grasping conventional education, we pay special attention to scientific research, which is the strong backing of teaching, enabling it to activate teaching and feed back teaching. Due to the advanced teaching management and strong scientific research atmosphere, in recent years, some educational and teaching seminars in Yongzhou have been held many times in Xintian No.1 Middle School. The situation of scientific research achievements is gratifying. In the past four years, six subjects in the school have been upgraded to national and provincial subjects. Faculty papers, scientific and technological achievements and participation in teaching activities have won national awards 105, provincial awards 1 10 and more than 200 municipal awards. Students participated in various competitions at all levels (including the Olympic Games) and won more than 20 national prizes, 90 provincial prizes and 250 municipal prizes, among which more than 30 scientific and technological works won provincial and municipal prizes. Excellent management, scientific research to promote teaching, teaching quality has improved significantly, and the online rate of undergraduate college entrance examination has increased year after year. In 2004, Yongzhou was the champion of liberal arts, and in 2006, Yongzhou was the champion of science, both in Xintian No.1 Middle School. The goal of strengthening the team construction and implementing the "famous teacher project" school teachers' team construction is to build a professional, competent, reasonable structure and high quality teachers' team, and to shape every teacher's successful mentality. In order to achieve this goal, the school adopted the method of emotion first. Emotion comes first, which is mainly reflected in three aspects: First, be moved by emotion, and be polite to people below. The leading group is United, approachable and amiable, treats teachers like relatives and friends, and tries its best to help teachers solve difficulties. The relationship with teachers is very harmonious and enjoys high prestige among teachers. In the first half of this year, a biology teacher was seriously ill, and school leaders went to visit him one after another. Principal Long Qiqun also subsidized several hundred yuan for medical treatment. A few years ago, there was a backbone math teacher who planned to teach in Guangdong because of his low salary, separation of husband and wife and family difficulties. After learning the situation, President Long talked with him many times, and personally asked his superiors to adjust his lover's work place, which solved the problem of separation and let the math teacher work in No.1 Middle School with peace of mind. In recent years, it is precisely because of the affection and care of school leaders that a large number of backbone teachers have been retained, which has enabled teachers to create excellent results in Xintian No.1 Middle School, where the treatment is not superior. Second, care about the growth of young teachers. There are two main ways to train young teachers: first, school leaders attend professional ethics and law-abiding remedial classes in person to enhance their professional ethics awareness. The second is to bring forth the old and bring forth the new for young teachers, so that young teachers have more opportunities to go to senior three and go through customs clearance. Third, encourage teachers to study for graduate students and reward teachers who stay in our school to teach after graduation. At present, the school has formed a "relatively stable, orderly flow, reasonable collocation and orderly structure" of teachers. "Being a good teacher" is the minimum and final requirement of school leaders for teachers. "Like your class, like your people, like your charm, like your words and deeds, then you are a successful teacher!" Principal Long Qiqun often encourages teachers in this way. Improving the conditions for running a school and implementing the "Brilliant Project" is an important basis for improving the quality of education and teaching, and also a necessary condition for the school to achieve leap-forward development. Since 2002, the school has raised funds through various channels and continuously increased investment. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Senior High Schools in Hunan Province, the hardware facilities on campus have been completely transformed and built with high standards and specifications, which has made the campus look brand-new and various educational and teaching facilities relatively complete. Since 200 1, the school has invested more than 35 million yuan in hardware construction alone. In 2002, more than 2 million yuan was invested to build a high-standard teaching building; In 2003, 660,000 yuan was invested to complete the expansion of the library and 6.5438+0.3 million yuan was invested to complete the expansion and assembly of girls' apartments; In 2004, the original 250-meter runway stadium was expanded into a standard 400-meter runway stadium, and the supporting facilities were invested more than 6 million yuan; In the second phase of 2005, ground was broken to rebuild the student canteen built in the early 1980s (the original canteen was far from meeting the needs of more than 4,000 teachers and students at present, and the per capita area and design scheme did not meet the current school hygiene regulations). The use area is five times that of the original canteen, and the supporting facilities are expected to invest more than 6 million yuan. At present, the new canteen has been put into use. In terms of supporting facilities for education and teaching, the school has completed the assembly of 2 multimedia classrooms, 5 computer classrooms, 1 courseware making room and 1 electronic reading room according to Class I standards, with an investment of 660,000 yuan. Complete 230 kinds of 16000 scientific teaching instruments and complete 1 10000 books, with an investment of 550,000 yuan; There are 1 labor skills classrooms, 6 extracurricular activity rooms, 1 characteristic music classrooms, 2 characteristic art classrooms, 1 physical fitness testing room, 1 indoor gymnasium and 2 indoor table tennis training rooms, with a total investment of more than 200,000 yuan. Send culture to the countryside, implement the "radiation project" schools actively carry out the "send culture to the countryside" activities, so that teachers and students in rural schools and rural elders can witness the living and learning conditions and spiritual outlook of teachers and students in Xintian No.1 Middle School, expand the influence of Xintian No.1 Middle School in the county, and promote the implementation of quality education in rural schools. The contents of sending culture to the countryside mainly include sports activities, cultural performances, academic lectures, holding hands and helping each other. Schools communicate feelings in various ways, strengthen exchanges, and give full play to the exemplary role of provincial demonstration middle schools. Drawing lessons from successful experience and implementing the "foreign aid project", the school adopts the way of "going out, please come in", so that teachers and students can communicate with experts, scholars, famous teachers and successful alumni of brother schools, learn advanced educational concepts, teaching methods and successful experiences, broaden their horizons, broaden their knowledge and enhance their enterprising spirit. Faced with some achievements and praises in establishing Scientific Outlook on Development and implementing the "Harmonious Project", school leaders are not narcissistic, but often review the course, discuss repeatedly, sum up experience, formulate more scientific development plans and implementation plans, and make software and hardware construction, environmental optimization, education and teaching, scientific research and sports art features more coordinated and reasonable for better development. Driven by characteristics and coordinated development of eight major projects, Xintian No.1 Middle School has taken on a new look. This year1October 29th 10, Lieutenant General Xintian No.1 held the 80th anniversary celebration and the opening ceremony of the provincial model high school. The school will take this opportunity to invite superior leaders, relevant experts and alumni to formulate the development plan of Xintian No.1 Middle School and strive for a higher level.
