"In Yuan, there are Li Yu and Lan. I miss my son, but I dare not speak. I look far away and watch the flowing water." More than two thousand years ago, Qu Zi set foot in the river, leaving a swan song that has been sung for thousands of years. Lan Zhi Experimental School in Changde, Hunan Province, is located at the lakeside of Liu Ye and under the Sun Mountain, hence its name. This is a boarding state-owned private school which is founded by 1998 and integrates primary school, junior high school and senior high school. It is directly under the management of Changde Education Bureau. Perhaps influenced by the aura of poetry, perhaps blessed by the son who has been wronged for thousands of years, in just nine years, the school has achieved a historic leap from scratch and from existence to prosperity, forging a bright "pearl" beside Dongting Lake and interpreting the myth of an educational miracle. Tolstoy famously said: Happy families are similar to each other; Every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way. If you quote this sentence to run a school, it is also very vivid. It can be changed into this sentence: The failed schools are basically the same, and the successful schools have their own successes. Needless to say, Lan Zhi's schools are successful, and there are many factors for success, but the most important thing is to extract advanced school-running ideas, which are like shining waves, jumping on the head of the education wave.
One of the waves: service education, a new leap in educational concept. Lan Zhi School is a closed school with high fees, but parents are still willing to send their children to school. The reason is that quality services reassure parents. The parents of a business student wrote in the home-school contact book: "Because of our busy work, we simply have no time and energy to take care of our children. After entering Lan Zhi, the school has taken more careful care of our children, which makes us deeply ashamed. We are relieved that our children are loved and taken care of. " Indeed, in Lan Zhi, students are the main body of educational services, and all the work of the school revolves around students. All for the students, all for the students, all for the students. Principals, teachers and employees are just waiters with different division of labor. In learning, teachers often provide students with school supplies for free and make up lessons for them for free. In life, the school specially hired 50 life teachers to take good care of students' daily life: when the weather changes, they will remind students to add or subtract clothes, and the notice on the blackboard is not enough, and they will shout a few times on the radio. When eating, they will urge students not to be picky about food, eat well and eat well; Someone will check the bed all night while sleeping. If a classmate sleeps badly and the quilt is lifted, he will correct it in time. When a student has a birthday, the class teacher will organize the whole class to celebrate him. When a student is ill, the life teacher, school doctor and car driver will send him to the hospital quickly without any delay. If a student takes Chinese medicine, the life teacher will fry the medicine and give it to the students. Students' lives are difficult, so the Youth League Committee, the Young Pioneers and the Student Union organize donation activities, and the school also provides special funds every semester to reward those students who have excellent academic performance but have financial difficulties in their families, so that they feel that they live in a warm and friendly big family. At the beginning of each semester, when a group of naive pupils leave their parents and come to a strange school, they are always not used to it. Before going to bed after self-study next night, there are always children who miss their mothers and cry to go home. Besides being coaxed by the life teacher, the head teacher also came among the children. The head teacher in the lower grades of primary school always sleeps in the dormitory for ten and a half days at the beginning of each semester, humming "lullabies" to put the children to sleep. During lunch break and activity class, teachers take turns to be on duty in order to ensure the safety of students during their free activities. Since the establishment of the school, there has never been a personal safety accident of students. Service is education, and good service is good education, which is the biggest feature of Lan Zhi schools. It is this spirit and action of serving students wholeheartedly that Lan Zhi won the trust of parents and the respect of society in a short time.
The second wave: cultivate education and return to the standard of teaching and educating people. Ye Shengtao, a famous educator, said: Education is to form habits. German Bacon said: Education is a habit from childhood. Habit affects character, and character determines fate. Therefore, Lan Zhi schools put the education of forming good habits in the first place, making it a basic project of education. Their specific practice is to carry out formative training in activities. For example, in order to familiarize students with and use polite expressions, they will hold a knowledge contest on polite expressions and teach them to sing songs about polite expressions. In order to cultivate students' good habits of self-care, they launched a home economics competition to select "home economics experts". In particular, the series of activities of "being an educated person" is the most distinctive. The school has drawn up the standards of different levels of formative education according to grades, and put forward different standards according to students' different ages and personality characteristics. Then, according to the students' behavior habits, the class teacher, subject teacher, life teacher, classmates and parents make a comprehensive evaluation of the students and summarize them once a month. Those who meet the standards will be awarded a certificate of compliance by the school, and those who are particularly outstanding will be awarded the honorary title of Good Habit Star. Just like this, training and training are going on every day, and the training education in Lan Zhi has achieved remarkable results. When you enter Lan Zhi, in the vast campus, you can't see a scrap of paper or a peel. The whole campus is clean and tidy, and the classrooms and dormitories are bright and clean. Managers of Binhu Park, Linjiang Park and Hefu Forest Park in Changde City receive countless groups of primary and secondary school students every year. The students who impressed them the most were Lan Zhi students, because the ground was incredibly clean after hundreds of people started activities. It is true that education is to form good habits.
The third wave: happy education, a useful exploration of the educational process. In order to entertain and entertain students and make them study and live happily, teachers in Lan Zhi give full play to their brains. In class, they break the boring atmosphere, pay attention to the word "fun" and implement the word "live". A boring mathematical concept "rice", the teacher will also bring a ruler to take the students to the playground one by one, so that students can understand its concept in happy practice. Teachers are also good at attracting students with humorous classroom language. A primary school math teacher said to the students before a unit exam: Today's exam is a small battle, and the children's pens are your guns. The topic on the test paper is the enemy you want to destroy. Some enemies are cunning and put smoke bombs. Children must keep their eyes open, fight calmly and destroy these enemies in one fell swoop. Do you want to be a hero in this battle? Want to! The children's answers were loud and clear. In order to cultivate students' special skills and pave the way for success, we spent a lot of money to buy a large number of special teaching equipment, including piano room, electronic piano room, guzheng room, erhu room, brass music room, table tennis room, calligraphy room, painting room, dance room and so on. And offer more than 30 special courses such as music, physical education, fine arts and computer. Students can choose according to their own characteristics. These specialized courses have clear teaching objectives and specific contents. Every afternoon, after seven or eight classes, the students will go to their own training places to bring their talents into full play. On the playground, the students are full of energy; In the painting room, students draw the future; The campus is full of singing, melodious piano sound and infinite vitality. In order to let parents know about the cultivation of children's specialties, the school also held an open week for specialty education. Every semester, parents and students are invited to attend classes, watch students' performances and carry out activities with students. On campus, teachers, students and parents form a harmonious picture. Parents no longer only rely on a report card and a parent visit to understand their children's school life. Schools and families have found an excellent combination of education. Apart from setting up art festivals and sports festivals, Lan Zhi also designated April as a science and technology festival to cultivate children's ability to understand and transform the world. Various interest groups have stimulated children's potential enthusiasm and ability. The biology group, led by the teacher, went to Sun Mountain to collect and make animal specimens, which was particularly eye-catching in the Science and Technology Museum. The students' works are published in the school magazine Lan Zhi Garden sponsored by the school's "Spring Willow" Literature Society, which is ideological, literary and literary. Learning in happiness and growing up in happiness are the unique features of education in Lan Zhi.
The fourth wave: successful education is the embodiment and extension of educational connotation. Lan Zhi Student Affairs Office has a unique "Typical Materials for Students with Rapid Progress", which includes two columns: basic information of students and comments from parents. The basic information of a student named Kaohsiung is written as follows: before entering school, liberalism was serious, he often fought and made trouble, smoked many times and cheated in exams. Now I don't fight, I don't smoke, I have made remarkable progress, I abide by discipline, and my grades have improved rapidly. This time I ranked ninth in my class. Parents' comments are: My child has corrected many shortcomings, made progress in learning and strengthened discipline, thanks to the school and teachers. In the eyes of many people, this is nothing more than a "poor student" file, but the name "poor student" is not allowed in Lan Zhi, not only in form, but also at any time. When faced with a naughty student, a teacher who longed for his students to become talents said, "Why are you so stupid?" The headmaster not only dealt with the teachers seriously, but also held a special meeting to make the teachers change their ideas from the ideological roots and love all the students with double love. In the next semester of 2006, Lan Zhi Junior High School enrolled a special student named Yang Jing. Yang Jing is very young, only 13 years old, but she is eccentric and has poor learning and living ability. She can't sit still in class and can't be idle after class. She even often goes to the teacher's office to find something to eat. The academic performance is very poor, and every exam is always "red lanterns hanging high". For such students, as long as the school "persuades", there is nothing to worry about, but Lan Zhi did not do so. Instead, he made an education reform plan for Yang Jing, containing her shortcomings with love and influencing her mind with emotion. After a period of time, Yang Jing has made remarkable progress in all aspects, from a student with serious problems to a student with basically qualified grades and studies. This is the education in Lan Zhi. They stubbornly believe that there are no natural losers and no natural "poor students". Because of this belief, in the face of possible 100 educational failures, they confidently devoted themselves to 10 1 teaching. They firmly believe that the success of education and students is at the next corner. "Give me a child and give you a talent" is the solemn commitment of Lan Zhi Experimental School to Changde people. 2000 years ago, the poet Qu Yuan created an ancient poetry myth. In the 20th century, in the rolling waves of Yuan and Li, and in the rich fragrance of Zhiting Orchid on the shore, the experimental school is performing a contemporary poetic education myth. We are looking forward to the aura of Lan Zhi, which will bloom around it forever and exude the fragrance of people forever.
