In all the professional growth communities of teachers, you may miss such a special team because of its youth and its unfamiliar reputation. It sounds like you know it is a typical "grassroots" - "Love to Class" teacher-apprentice training community.
But it must be said that it is exactly what you cannot miss. Because of its uniqueness, or unexpected mystery. In fact, just the three words "Love in class" in its name are enough to make you remember it. Reading its growth story will refresh your understanding of the growth of young teachers and will also create an impulse in your thoughts - join it and become a member of "Love in Class".
Let time go back to 2015. That year, I became a primary school Chinese language teaching and research staff in Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. Being responsible for teaching and research in a provincial capital city must undertake the work of "master-apprenticeship". But I have not taken action for a long time because I don’t want to form a team through administrative relationships from the bottom of my heart, nor do I want the team members to gather because of my special identity as a “famous teacher”. I have been waiting for the unexpected arrival of fate.
htmlJune is the recruitment period for teachers in Fuzhou City. On this day, several normal graduates came and I gave them interviews and tutored. There is one girl named Gao Yanying. It’s a coincidence that I am her elementary school Chinese teacher. Out of curiosity, I asked her: "Why do you need to be a teacher?"Her answer made me very excited: "When I was a child, every class you taught was left in my memory. This memory gave me motivation, so I chose to teach." Those who came with her were Lin Chen, Li Wenjing, and Lin Hairong. The four normal students have common characteristics - young and fresh graduates; strive to improve, and have the desire to become an excellent teacher; be confused, don’t know if you can be competent, don’t know the direction of your growth... · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · I asked myself, "Why don't you bring such a group of young teachers to grow up? Why don't you use my professional knowledge and my belief in the teaching profession to influence and ignite them?" In this way, the five of us formed a miniature teacher team. Everyone was wondering what kind of name to give such a team, and later decided - because of their common persistent pursuit of classroom teaching - to call it "love to class".
"Love in class" has two meanings: first, we all "love in class", and the classroom is the real workplace for teachers; second, as long as we "love in class", we will fall in love with children and Chinese education.
has to add another person - Lin Wei, the eldest apprentice who joined at the same time. He is not like an ordinary Chinese teacher, but like a martial arts master. A big man of 1.85 meters, with a simple and round face, his hands stretched out like a thick bear's paw, hence the name "Teacher Big Bear". During a trip, I found that he often wrote something casually. I found out after asking that he was creating a martial arts novel. This is his hobby, and he has been persisting since he was in middle school until today. He really hoped to transfer his hobby to teaching, but he was struggling to find a way. In my opinion, he seems to have all his martial arts but has nowhere to use them. He also seems that someone with abundant internal energy has no tricks to drain his internal energy out. Still out of common belief - love to class, we became masters and apprentices, and he was the first boy in the master's sect.
That's it. In June 2015, our "Love Class" teacher-apprentice training community was officially established. The size of 6 people is all local teachers in Fuzhou.
This is a very "strange" team, and the speed of development will amaze you. As of the time of writing this article, there are 116 people in the "Love Class" master-apprentice training community, covering many provinces and cities such as Beijing, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Chongqing, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu, Jiangxi, Yunnan, etc. But none of the team members are recognized as "famous teachers", and I was admitted to a university in August 2020 and became a full-time university researcher. The team members are all young teachers.Some have just graduated from a normal university; some have not yet passed the internship ; some have just finished graduate school; some have only taught for two or three years; some have just become mothers; of course, there are also "veterans" who have been "lying flat" or wandering for a long time, and now they hope to return to their teaching positions... By the way, you will never guess that there are two mathematics teachers in the team, one is good at information technology and the other is good at telling stories. The most special thing is that in September 2022, a first-level martial arts athlete, changed to teach Chinese after retiring. She is also the mother of a third-grade child and has also become a member of the team. Just because she expressed her accurate understanding of the team's core philosophy - she must "love the class". We come here to gather without asking about age, background, professional title, or honor... just because of our common aspirations.
html has more than 0 people, but not complicated. Teams have common synonyms, which is called "youth". Not to mention the agility of the body, the rekindled passion alone is the most typical feature of youth. Young people who hope to pursue progress in Chinese teaching should do three things: first, prepare lessons well; second, teach lessons well; third, study hard. Therefore, we have three pillars that will lead the team to make progress together - lesson preparation, class teaching, and teaching research. It is these three troops that lead the team to 116 teachers and run together on the road of teaching and growth.When joining the team, every teacher must understand the training rules after the introduction and ensure persistence. In other words, there are three "ones" - first, a daily reading; second, a weekly recording; third, a monthly research.
The so-called daily reading means that you must read every day and check in after reading. teachers will regularly recommend reading books suitable for professional growth. According to requirements, all members must purchase and read paper books. For example, the master once recommended books such as "Tao Te Ching", "Applied Learning Science", "Teaching Design for Pursuing Understanding", and "Great Concept Teaching". Uncounted young people leave reading behind after they get on their jobs. But in our team, daily reading is a compulsory course, just like daily eating, daily sleeping, and daily breathing, it is a must. Later, such reading activities were upgraded. One night of each month, everyone reads a book together. You interpret the first chapter and I interpret the second chapter, sharing my experiences in detail, so that the busy partners can enjoy the growth of their souls after careful reading.
The so-called one-week note means that you must write an essay every week, regardless of the length, just start writing. can record your own feelings in life, record your own classroom gains and losses, record your own observation and evaluation gains, and can also provide a lesson plan and a teaching design... In short, you have to start writing every week. We practice in this way and keep our original aspirations.
The so-called monthly research refers to the monthly teacher-sect organizes an online seminar to conduct special teaching design mutual assistance. Most of the teams are young people and need to undertake tasks such as open classes and observing competition classes. Whenever there is such a need, everyone will design the same class within the teacher. Then, three or five teachers will be selected for the key display and conduct an online training activity of "prepare the same class". During the month, everyone prepared in advance, took out the designed courseware for display during the online meeting, and finally commented by the partners in the teacher. Of course, my participation is indispensable. Every time at this time, everyone will find that "there are a hundred ways to learn in a class", and the fun of research is felt. After getting started with
, being able to achieve these three "ones" is called living up to your youth.
I remember that when the team number increased to "108", several friends from Fuzhou gathered together. Everyone couldn't help but talk about the 108 heroes who were docked in Liangshan. Everyone thinks we are stronger than the heroes of Liangshan. First, Liangshan’s “108” is a final number, and our “108” is a stage number; second, the ending of the heroes of Liangshan is a fall apart, because in the later stage, their beliefs changed, and we have always maintained a love for education and teaching since the construction team. It can be said that the three words "love to class" protect the master-apprentice training community to be powerful and powerful.What is even more valuable is that since the founding of the Group in 2015, more than 100 partners have maintained the good habit of reading every day, recording a week, and studying a month. They have been moving forward under the guidance of three carriages of preparing lessons, teaching and research. After the
team was established, my most important job was to think about how to develop. The "Love Class" teacher-apprentice training community is developed through cooperation. Although in the team, I am a master and other teachers are apprentices, our relationship is equal and cooperative. Generally speaking, there are three types of cooperation within the master.
Category 1: Cooperation display
Team is often invited to teach and provide teaching and research services across the country. This is not an opportunity to have it easily. At first, I was often invited to give lectures, which was a soldier battle. After building the team of teachers, I often make requests to the conference organizers, hoping that the team members will have the opportunity to show. Of course, this request will be rejected at first. The organizer only trusts me, and the team members are all "no names and no distinctions". Can they take good open classes? Everyone has doubts.
guarantee is useless. I communicated with the organizer like this: First, the team presentation can allow front-line teachers to see richer results, at least there are two ecology of "old teachers" and "youth teachers"; second, the teaching of young teachers is more exemplary, allowing front-line teachers to see the most real growth state; finally, even if young teachers have problems in teaching, we can still diagnose, correct and analyze the problems. What is more valuable than allowing front-line teachers to discover and solve problems in observing classes, evaluating classes, and learning?
With these three communications, our team quickly had the opportunity to go out to show together. Gradually, the team's footprints are spread across 11 provinces and cities including Chongqing, Shanxi, Guangdong, Sichuan, Yunnan, etc. The cooperative education and training projects include "The Road to Famous Teachers", "Thousands of Classes and Ten Thousands of People", "Modern and Classics", "Famous Thought Teaching and Research", and "Hemei Classroom". During these activities, the team members worked together to demonstrate the "Love Class" teacher-apprentice training community's pursuit of excellence in teaching, respect for children, and a beautiful sample of young teachers' research and growth.
Please allow me to excerpt a story clip. The original story was published in the WeChat official account of " People's Education " magazine on July 12, 2022. The title is "Share with Young Teachers: What level does it mean to love teaching? 》. From the story clip, we can see how the team teachers participate together and help each other in preparing lessons, because everyone has only one goal - present a good class for front-line teachers.
I was preparing to teach the second lesson of the "Cat" in the fourth grade of the unified textbook, and I shared the teaching design with my teachers. In my opinion, the cats written by Lao She in are so lively, naughty, and so weird. Even if they make the flowers of Lao She who loves and grows flowers a mess, Lao She is not angry and will not scold them, and still loves them very much. This is just like the relationship between Monkey King and Tathagata Buddha in "Journey to the West" - no matter how hard Wukong tries, he can't escape the palm of Tathagata Buddha's hand. Finally, Tathagata Buddha saved Wukong and became and defeated Buddha . The Buddha is in control of everything about Wukong. When he is struggling, he just watches quietly and is tolerant, and finally helps Wukong to achieve himself. This is a kind of love that looks down. After
, I received a message, written by my apprentice from Shenzhen, Teacher Tian Li: "The last part you designed is really wonderful! I was very shocked at the time and thought, what kind of brain can make such a shocking association! Then I listened to your explanation and expansion, and I was really touched... At the same time, in a vague way, I felt a little confused: Personally, if I changed my position and felt from the perspective of a ‘cat’ or ‘child’, I might not particularly like being 'holden in my palms and unable to escape the Five Fingers Mountain'.I prefer to be treated equally and loved by adults sincerely... So, although this connection is wonderful, maybe because I have always been with children and my daily style is very similar to that of a child, I will resist the Buddha's viewing, teaching and "love" from top to bottom... I feel a little different from the theme of "harmony and friendship between humans and animals" conveyed in the text. If you are wrong, then sorry. Perhaps, I am the only one in the world who feels like this, so you don’t need to pay attention to it…” Teacher Tian, who left a message at
, felt that he had little experience. At the same time, as an apprentice, he was worried that I would feel disdainful or blame her. So, after leaving the message, she stopped passing the message. Is this story stopped there? There is no "later"?
. Later, when I was teaching, I adopted Teacher Tian’s suggestions, so that students could feel the greater love that transcends "Wukong and Tathagata" that is more equal, more tolerant, and more mutually understanding. Lao She loved cats so without regrets and so meticulously. After class, I shared my own modifications with Teacher Hotan’s feelings. Teacher Tian said that he never thought that I would adopt the suggestions. I said, “Thank you, it was you who led me to develop a higher level of understanding of love. "
This is the cooperation, equality and warmth in our team.
Category 2: Young Teacher Growth Workstation Construction
"Love to Class" Teacher-Apprentice Training Community Members are spread all over the country. Therefore, whenever I go to various places to demonstrate teaching, the school where my apprentice is located will issue an invitation to set up a "Young Teacher Growth Workstation" in the school or region. In this way, we have set up "Young Teacher Growth Workstation" in Foshan in Guangdong, Kunming in Yunnan, Chengdu in Sichuan, and Fuzhou in Fujian. The establishment of
workstation has given the "cooperation" of teachers a new meaning.
first, cooperation becomes more lively Move. goes to the workstation to teach, and the impact of face-to-face demonstration is undoubtedly greater than that of the Internet. Everyone sees how we transform teaching concepts into practice, how to do research, learn from the same example, and develop faster.
second, cooperation becomes deeper. The establishment of workstations helps to carry out point-to-point pairing long-term tracking and assistance. Since the establishment unit is a school, it can also receive support from the school. Often after the establishment of the workstation, new young teachers will enter the team. Targeted assistance is more targeted and can promote the growth of young people. After all, the workstation must come to fruition when summarizing the year-end.
third, cooperation becomes more effective. work The establishment of the station is more helpful for customized services and special tutoring. The work direction of each workstation is discussed and determined by the school and determined by us. According to needs and our research expertise, special tutoring is conducive to rapid growth.
Now, young teachers in workstations work hard in their respective territories, spreading the "Love Class" training concept, and constantly sending good news of growth in the teacher group. In this way, workstations bring a virtuous cycle of teacher development.
Category 3: Cooperation publishing
This is the most special cooperation of the "Love Class" teacher-apprentice training community and the most significant achievement.
No matter what, as a young teacher, publishing The books signed by himself were enough to excite him. Most of the young teachers who joined the team completed their debut work in the sect. Those who joined later were also feeling the whole process of creation.
I am an amateur writer and maintained my hobby of creation and publishing. Because of the good sales performance of published books, I got more publishing opportunities. At first, I just invited some apprentices who like to write to help me organize the manuscripts. During the sorting process, I was surprised to find the creative talents in the sect. So, I began to try to let them create independently. The "Teacher Big Bear" mentioned above got an opportunity to cooperate with me to write stories after entering the sect. He transferred the creative style of martial arts novels to the subject fairy tales and collaborated with me to publish "Composition Laughing".The first one has 4 volumes, and has been printed many times after it was published. To date, it has sold more than 500,000 copies, and the "Big Bear" has also become a "famous Bear". Later we continued to work together and published the second one. "A joke on the composition" has a total of 6 pieces, and the third part is also being created... Nearly 20 young teachers who joined the school in the early days all have their own signed publications.
Later, the team entered the integrated writing cooperation model. According to the established writing project, I am the editor-in-chief and conduct top-level design and sample production. Afterwards, one person from the division served as the project commander-in-chief, and a team was organized to cooperate with multiple people, and collectively publish it. During this period, some people were responsible for writing, some were responsible for reading, and some were responsible for drawing illustrations, each of them was dedicated to their talents and worked together. The most typical one is the 7-book special book for teachers, "Classroom Teaching Pass List". A total of 100 people participated, which took nearly a year and was completed through air meetings and other means during the epidemic prevention and control period. In 2021, after the publication of the "Classroom Teaching Pass List", it received the attention of several national media, and media such as "People's Education", " China Education Daily ", "Study Strong Country" have reported it many times. At present, this set of books has become a reference book for many front-line teachers to implement the new Chinese curriculum standards in the era of " double reduction ".
Can't remember how many days and nights of publishing the "Class Teaching Pass List", the team partners used a hot hotline to communicate; they couldn't remember how many young teachers were anxious to ask for help because of their writing difficulties; what was even more unforgettable is the joy and excitement of their partners when they overcome the creative difficulties, the joy and excitement after the book was published, and the pride and pride that they felt naturally when they knew more and more colleagues used the Pass List. Cooperation allows the young people in the team to feel that only by working hard can we live up to our youth.
In September 2022, the "Compulsory Education Chinese Curriculum Standards (2022 Edition)" was officially implemented, and the content and organizational form of the Chinese curriculum were determined as the "learning task group". Before the promulgation of the new curriculum standards, I participated in many process discussions. During the discussion, I felt that the learning task group must become the difficulty for front-line teachers to learn and understand the curriculum standards, and it is also the focus of attention. Therefore, I organized the team in advance to target the task group in the new curriculum standards and carry out brand new creations. After the new curriculum standards were promulgated, the team immediately published two sets of new curriculum standards, "Reading the Whole Book of Primary School Students" and "Interdisciplinary Chinese Creative Homework", which are in line with the new curriculum concept and closely follow the learning task group, which are deeply loved by readers. Nearly 100 team members participated in each book were completed during the COVID-19 epidemic. We share common beliefs and shared love for teaching, and our cooperation is smooth and pleasant.
More importantly, my friends found that successful publishing is a benefit, and the biggest benefit is that they have grown up in the project. For example, in cooperation, we learned about the latest teaching concepts; took the lead in teaching transformation; participated in cutting-edge teaching reforms...... The partners said: "Cooperation publishes books, and practicing their own real skills." In cooperation, our partners grew up very quickly. They have made rapid progress by putting the skills they have practiced in their positions. Since the establishment of the teacher, many people have won teaching and research observation, paper selection, teaching competition, homework design and various evaluations in their respective regions. Whenever this happens, everyone will share the good news in the group, and the teacher group is extremely lively: "This is my paper." "I won the prize in the competition class." "I was named a city-level backbone!"··········· There is no trace of pride, all the ostentatiousness is just out of inner joy. More precisely, it is a soberness - reminding yourself to continue working hard; it is a motivation - everyone is excellent, let's work together.
Reasonablely, there should be a string of data here: After statistics, the "Love Class" teacher-apprentice training community has collaborated on publishing N books, and a total of N people have won N honors and published N papers in total... Please forgive me for not providing accurate data. If you really want to go to statistics, you need to search for WeChat groups from 2016 to the present. There are many data and are scattered at every moment of growth, or you need to ask everyone to "fill in the form". We won't take the time to do this, we can't bear to leave it alone! At the same time, the pragmatic spirit of the "Love Class" training team does not allow anyone to collect this data.
Talking about "the future" means that the story is about to end. What will the future of the "Love Class" teacher-apprentice training community look like? Where are you going? I have clear thoughts on these issues. There are three keywords for the future of the "Love Class" teacher-apprentice training community.
First keyword: absorption. The team is mainly young teachers. As long as you are willing, as long as you are loyal to education, and as long as you "love the class", you can join us.
The second keyword: sure. In the new era of curriculum reform, new tricks are naturally emerging one after another. The "Love to Class" teacher-apprentice training community will remind young teachers in this school to stick to their homeland, do what Chinese teachers should do, develop students' core Chinese literacy, prepare and take a class in real life, and the class is bigger than the sky, and do not take any wrong paths or shortcuts.
The third keyword: recommendation. There are talented people in the country and have led the way for hundreds of years. The "Love Class" teacher-apprentice training community needs to continuously make outstanding teachers in the team stand out, become the backbone of regional teaching and research, radiate more and wider ranges, and become a stronger backbone.
Our story has come to an end here. "Love in Class" teacher-apprentice training community is a legend, a real legend. One day, when you join us, you will become the person in the story. What are you waiting for when you "love class"?
