First, the characteristics of this book

The most striking feature of this book is that it repeatedly expounds an important proposition of contemporary teacher education reform-teachers must be experts with both "skills" and "specialties". "Learning from teachers" means that teachers' work has both a craftsman side and an expert side.

Generally speaking, the actions of craftsmen are unconscious, while the thinking of experts is conscious. Artisans' actions are explicit, while experts' thinking is implicit.

As a craftsman, the teacher's world is composed of "skilled skills", "experience" and "intuition or secret"; As an expert, the teacher's world is composed of scientific professional knowledge, technology, reflection and creative inquiry. In addition, craftsmen learn through imitation and cultivation, and experts learn through reflection and research. The teacher's ability is the synthesis of craftsman's ability and expert's ability.

Thinking: This requires teachers not only to have the skillful skills of craftsmen, but also to have the ability of continuous reflection and profound reflection. In the new era, teachers should not only take root in the classroom, but also study professional books and cultivate profound academic accomplishment. The combination of experience and theory will produce wisdom!

Second, excerpts and thoughts

1. The so-called good teacher is not a teacher without problems, but a teacher who dares to challenge.

Excellent teachers must grow up from the bottom up and based on grassroots reform.

2. A red line running through the book emphasizes that in the society of 2 1 century, teachers' expert image should be changed from "experts in teaching" to "experts in learning" and should be cultivated as "reflective practitioners".

3. A teacher's life is a life of continuous learning. Learning from children, textbooks, colleagues, and their own experiences are the steps of teachers' continuous learning throughout their lives.

4. The teacher's central activity in class is "listening". How do teachers listen to students' speeches? We should not only understand the superficial meaning of a speech or speech, but also understand the hidden connection from the following three points.

First, what is the relationship between students' speeches or speeches and contents (textbooks or materials)?

Second, how is the relationship with other students?

Third, how is it related to students' previous thinking or speech?

Thinking: In short, what is the connection between students' speeches and textbooks, themselves and their peers, and find the key points for series and rumination. These three points can be tried in class. Then use classroom examples to prove it. I hope I can also cultivate the ability to restore the classroom.

It is not difficult for anyone to observe the teaching of young teachers and point out their shortcomings, but it is not so easy to give practical suggestions to support the growth of teaching teachers according to classroom events.

Therefore, we should face up to the barriers of every young teacher and interpret them as if they were untied, so that teachers can grow up from their own teaching improvement. This is the most effective career development path. Instead of looking at the "advantages" or "disadvantages" of teaching, we should carefully observe the classroom events in their teaching practice, just like observing ants in nature, and make in-depth observation and reflection on classroom events.

Thinking: How can teachers waiting for posts or young teachers make great progress? We don't look at the advantages and disadvantages of teaching, but carefully observe the classroom events in their teaching practice and reflect and describe them from an objective perspective. We pay attention to students' learning and use students' learning to find classroom problems, which can make teachers better accept and help students grow.

6. The "breath" or "aura" before the start of teaching determines everything in teaching in advance.

7. Teachers should change the perspective of "evaluation" to "reflection" when observing other people's teaching if they want to become educational experts and grow into good learners. Teachers who can only observe and reflect on teaching from the perspectives of "good class", "poor class", "success" and "failure" are only amateurs all their lives. Whether they have teaching experience or not, their growth can only stay at the level of teaching interns.

8. How is the teacher tempered? There is an American proverb: doctors are trained at the bedside. Imitating this sentence, we can say that "teachers are trained by schools." Professor Sato made a questionnaire to investigate "what is the most effective factor for teachers' growth". The first place is "my own reflection on teaching", the second place is the research of teaching in the same subject, and the third place is school-based teaching and research. "Who is the most conducive to the growth of teachers? "A questionnaire survey was conducted. The first is a teacher of the same subject, the second is a colleague of the same school, and the third is the principal and chief teacher of the same school.

9. Tacit knowledge: it is a kind of knowledge that can only be expressed in words, and it is a kind of knowledge that is often used but cannot be clearly expressed or directly transmitted through language symbols. For example, we know a person's appearance and can recognize his face among thousands of people, but usually it is difficult for us to tell how we recognize this face, and it is difficult to tell clearly what is the sign of our recognition of this face; "According to the first-class chef's menu, the dishes you fry are not the same as those fried by the first-class chef.
