On Monday morning, at the gate of Changxing Branch of Shanghai Experimental Primary School, elementary school students jumped into the campus in groups of three or five. Ms. Wu, a parent, watched her daughter walk into the school. She said: "What we most look forward to is that our children have good education. Now the resources of famous schools have radiated to Chongming one after another, and the quality of school management is constantly improving, which is gratifying."
22 autumn semester, in Chongming, two new schools, Dongtan High School of Shanghai Experimental School and Changxing Branch of Shanghai Experimental Primary School, were unveiled, ushering in the first batch of freshmen. The beautiful campus environment and excellent teaching staff meet the people's vision of "going good school" at their doorstep.
Education is the foundation of people's livelihood. Over the years, Chongming District has continued to promote education reform and strive to provide education that satisfies the people. Since 2016, 6 high-quality public schools in central urban areas have been introduced to manage 7 new local schools (kindergartens); 882 teachers were introduced during the 13th Five-Year Plan period, and the proportion of graduate students and teacher students has been continuously increasing... With the implementation of a series of loud and powerful measures, more high-quality education has been turned into sweet rain, allowing Chongming students to enjoy the dividends of balanced development of education.
2022 realizes "famous school +" and upgrades again
On September 1 this year, teachers and students of Dongtan High School of Shanghai Experimental School welcomed the first batch of students' opening ceremony. Early in the morning, the principal and teacher came to the school to prepare for the children. Shangshi Dongtan High School is located on Xueyan Road, Chenjia Town. It is a fully boarding high school affiliated to the Chongming District Education Bureau and sponsored by Shanghai Experimental School. The school has recruited 143 students this year in accordance with the city's experimental demonstration high school enrollment policy.
"The relationship between the new school and the head school is like a 'source' and 'fountain'." Yuan Wanping, executive principal of Dongtan High School of Shanghai Experimental School, introduced, "The head school is a source. Our concept is based on the school management concept of the head school, and then it is rooted and integrated into the regional student source characteristics of Chongming District, and it will be extended in this."
As one of the group schools of Shanghai Experimental School, this brand new high school has attracted the attention of many students and parents since its establishment. "With this new school, Chongming's high-quality high school education resources have become more balanced. Children can study the famous school they have always dreamed of at home. We are very happy!" said Ms. Chen, a parent.
And in Changxing Town , the Changxing Branch of Shanghai Experimental Primary School officially opened in September this year, which really made the residents living nearby excited. "I didn't expect to go to an old and famous school, I'm very happy." A year ago, when I learned that the Changxing Branch of Shanghai Experimental Primary School was settled in Changxing, Chongming, Mr. Xia, who lives in Changxing Island, was surprised. "After the start of school, I often listened to the children excitedly talking about the various new equipment in the school. We were also pleased to see that they had a stronger interest in learning."
walked into the Changxing Branch of Shanghai Experimental Primary School. The traditional courtyard-style buildings in China were staggered and shiny. The first batch of first-grade classrooms are full of distinctive marine elements, creating a teaching environment that is "learning, playable, and sharing". At the same time, the school has also introduced high-quality social resources. For example, it cooperates with Brook Building Blocks to create game courses to cultivate children's imagination and creativity; cooperates with "Chinese Online" to create a graded reading space to improve children's reading ability and reading literacy...
behind the people's "profitability" is the continuous advancement of the balanced development of Chongming education. The reporter learned that in recent years, Chongming and Huangpu , Jing'an and other districts have signed multiple rounds of educational cooperation agreements to introduce more high-quality educational resources through close cooperation. Driven by the "famous school + new school" model, since 2016, 6 high-quality public schools (kindergartens) in central urban areas have been introduced to manage 7 new local schools (kindergartens) to jointly create high-quality schools so that Chongming children can enjoy high-quality education at their "door to their homes".
"Famous schools" cannot be separated from "famous teachers".Over the years, Chongming has vigorously attracted outstanding educational talents. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, a total of 882 teachers were introduced, and the proportion of graduate students and teacher students continued to increase. At the same time, a number of teachers' professional development schools were established, and the construction of the backbone teacher team continued to be good at building a key teacher team, effectively driving the growth of more than 200 teachers.
"Education Group" appeared like mushrooms after a rain
In addition to building a consortium of "famous schools + new schools", Chongming is also promoting the exploration of school district-based group-based schools, and fully realizing the balanced and high-quality development of Chongming's urban-rural integrated basic education. "Smart blackboards, high-speed networks... These are no longer just configurations of urban schools, but also equipped in rural schools. Not only that, the school's teaching model has been further improved, and there have been many changes in school management," said a teacher from the former Gangxi Middle School. In 2020, the former Gangxi Middle School was officially included in the Chongming District Experimental Middle School Education Group and became the Gangxi Campus of Chongming District Experimental Middle School. Taking the "fast train" of Chongming Experimental Middle School Education Group, the Gangxi Campus is like having strong wings. In addition to sharing teaching resources, the campuses of large-scale activities within the Education Group have been merged, and the art festival, sports festival, , science and technology festival and other activities are carried out simultaneously, so that the children have a bigger stage.
As an education group established earlier in Chongming, Chongming Experimental Middle School Education Group currently has three campuses, namely Xiyuan, Gangxi and Hongda Campus. Li Bin, principal of Chongming District Experimental Middle School, said, "For the school, group-based schooling has revitalized all schools, revitalized resources, and optimized the structure."
Since 2011, Chongming has begun to implement the overall layout of the three islands and the step-by-step promotion of school district-based group-based schooling strategies. Based on the establishment of the education group, six university districts, Chongxi, Chengqiao, Chongzhong, Baogang, Chongdong and Changheng were newly built in 2017. At present, the group has achieved full coverage of the three islands of chemical district-based education, and a total of 28 education groups have been established. In the past ten years since Chongming explored and promoted the school-based group-based school management, various campuses have jointly built a teaching resource library and an homework resource library. The faculty flow between campuses is frequent, and the resources for teacher training and teaching and research activities are shared, so the allocation of faculty is more scientific and reasonable. As the quality of rural schools further improves, more and more parents have chosen to let their children return to the countryside to study, and have tasted the "sweetness" brought by the balanced development of basic education. Preschool education also attracted the attention of parents. At present, the three-level preschool education public service network at districts, townships, and villages (communities) is becoming increasingly perfect, and can meet the needs of all eligible children of school age to enter the kindergarten. In order to effectively promote the balanced and high-quality development of preschool education, Chongming has actively innovated the kindergarten management mechanism according to local conditions and run every kindergarten in front of the people's doorstep through "famous kindergarten + new kindergarten", "urban-rural linkage, joint evaluation", and "groupization". At present, the district has basically built an integrated early education system for childcare aged 0-6, and the proportion of high-quality kindergartens has reached 40%.
is more than that. In November last year, three inter-school-level close-level education groups were established by the city's experimental demonstration high school, Chongming Middle School, the city's characteristic general high school, Chengqiao Middle School, and Chongming District Education College. The three core schools join hands with primary and secondary schools within the group to break through barriers to school and actively explore the quality and efficiency of teaching. At this point, high school teachers entered junior high school, and the teaching and research staff of the School of Education went deep into the front line of the classroom, benefiting more student teachers, and innovation and exploration were happening quietly in the classroom.
Zhu Lirong is a middle school physical education teaching and research staff at Chongming District Education College. Two years ago, he paired up with Chen Xinyu, a young teacher at Chongming District Experimental Middle School, and carried out classroom teaching practice and teaching and research activities every week. One of the lessons was Zhu Lirong's "subscription class". The master and apprentice jointly explore a new model of classroom teaching based on core literacy. Under this model, Chen Xinyu, who had been teaching for only four years, won the second prize in the Chongming District Young and Middle-aged Teachers' Evaluation. "We learned a lot of teaching ideas with Teacher Zhu. Now we feel that we have some tricks and can grasp the rhythm and focus of the classroom." The feedback from grassroots teachers made Zhu Lirong feel very pleased.
"Ecological password" for comprehensive quality education
"Students, do you know? These seemingly useless garbage such as dead branches and soil are actually good materials for making compost." "Wow, it feels so amazing."... In the "Small Ecological Exploration Park" of Hexing Primary School, a unique ecological exploration class is underway. Teachers and students work together to use interdisciplinary knowledge to jointly solve the difficulties such as what chemical elements are rich in kitchen waste , what impact these elements have on vegetable growth, the time and concentration of fermentation broth production, and explore the impact of different fertilizer production methods on fruit and vegetable growth.
"Two years ago, we used the school's open space to build this 'small ecological exploration park', allowing students to participate in practical experience, observe natural phenomena, and learn to think and solve problems in labor and exploration activities." said Shi Junmei, secretary of the Party Branch and principal of Hexing Primary School. According to reports, this pastoral countryside contracted to each class, and was planted and managed by the practice groups of each class. The children transform into "little farmers", walked out of the classroom, into the fields and nature, took turns to fertilize and weed every day, and kept growth records to experience growth in practice. Through the "small window" of Hexing Primary School's "Small Ecological Exploration Park", it reveals Chongming's continuous practice of exploring reform and development in the field of "ecological education". For more than ten years, Chongming has always firmly adhered to the concept of "ecological island building". Against this background, Chongming Education has shouldered the important task of cultivating "ecological people".
"Through the school's comprehensive practical courses to integrate with local life, it has promoted changes in teachers' teaching models and students' thinking methods. Every branch and leaf of nature will bring children a different feeling, not only allowing students to better understand book knowledge in personal practice, but also inspire their comprehensive thinking ability." Zheng Yaohu, director of the Ecological Education Research Center of the District Education College, introduced that in 2004, Chongming Education embarked on the road of "ecological dream hunting". 18 years of chasing dreams, today's dream has come to fruition: a local curriculum system for ecological education has been built and integrated into the after-school service system. These have had a positive impact on the development of students' ecological literacy and future development.
In Chongming, in order to allow the cultivation of "little ecological people" to occur in real scenes, schools have formed a number of distinctive experience halls with the help of social venues or built their own ecological education experience venues in the park. For example, Yu'an Middle School has formed its own educational brand in wetland education, and has been actively exploring and using the resources around the school to transform classroom teaching; building primary schools with "soil" as the core resources, and has opened a practical base for "botanical garden", "hundred herb garden" and "vegetable and fruit garden" on campus to support the chassis of the local classroom; at present, more than 40 schools in Chongming have become "ecological and rural" curriculum and teaching reform experimental schools, from kindergartens to primary and secondary schools, from school natural classes to after-school service system, the extension of ecological education has been continuously expanded, adding bright colors to Chongming education. In addition to ecological education, in order to further promote the comprehensive development of students' morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor, Chongming schools also widely carried out Sunshine Sports activities and solidly promoted the construction of national youth campus football pilot zones. At present, 21 schools were named " National Campus Football Characteristic School " by the Ministry of Education; implemented the creation of "National Rural School Art Experimental County" to effectively improve students' artistic literacy...
"Those who dig wells start from a three-inch hurdle to reach a depth of ten thousand feet." Education flourishes when all industries prosper. Standing at a new historical starting point, the education cause of Chongming District will fully study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and do its best to shoulder the important task of cultivating morality and cultivating people, constantly meet the people's needs for high-quality balanced education, and be full of fighting spirit to write a new chapter of high-quality development of education.
According to the "14th Five-Year Plan for Education Development in Chongming District", in the next five years, Chengqiao Town will introduce a World Education Group to host a kindergarten and a compulsory education school ; Changxing Island area will also introduce high-quality educational resources for Jing'an District and Huangpu District , and build a new primary school and a Wanzhong ; Baozhen area will introduce basic education groups from relevant universities to host Zhengda Middle School, achieving wide coverage of high-quality basic education in all levels of school in three key development areas and Baozhen area.
