"Famous teacher" is a dynamic and developing concept, and its meaning deepens with the development and progress of society. Traditionally, a famous teacher refers to an outstanding teacher who has a wide influence in education and has popularity and followers. In layman's terms, it is a teacher that students like best, parents feel most at ease, peers admire most and society respects most. They are models of teachers' morality, education, teaching and scientific research.
However, with the reform and development of education, in the new era of education modernization, the society hopes that famous teachers have the qualities of keeping pace with the times, such as becoming builders of educational theory, explorers of educational undertakings, reformers of educational practice and leaders of teacher development.

The four growth characteristics are:
First, it is spatiotemporal, that is, the growth of individual qualities of famous teachers is continuous in time, which is not only the present tense, the past tense, but also the future tense, and its influence scope is spatially expansive;
The second is competitiveness, that is, in a certain space-time field, famous teachers at the same level and different levels exist in a competitive state, which is not only the normal state of the growth and development of famous teachers, but also the motivation of their growth and development;

Fourth, there are differences, that is, in the spiritual strength, professional quality and educational art of famous teachers, there are obvious differences not only among the famous teachers at the same level, but also among the famous teachers in the same class and at the same level, which makes the growth and development of famous teachers have room for continuous improvement.
The qualities that a famous teacher should have.
First, lofty spiritual strength. It is based on the profound understanding and recognition of the social and historical value of education, the love for education, and the pursuit of happiness in personal growth and value creation in education, and it is a kind of survival feeling and soul-stirring generated and constructed from these aspects. The spiritual strength of a famous teacher mainly includes the strength to "be superior", "be kind", "be true" and "be beautiful". This kind of spiritual strength is the personality characteristic of a famous teacher, which penetrates and blends into all the professional life and even the life course of a teacher more deeply than the professional ethics of a teacher.
Second, profound professional knowledge, including extensive and profound cultural knowledge, comprehensive and accurate educational knowledge and systematic and profound professional knowledge. In the new era, famous teachers should have an organized and systematic professional knowledge system, so that they can be familiar with the subject structure, context, cause and effect and development trend of professional knowledge. Extensive and profound knowledge system is the strong support of famous teachers.
Third, a solid teaching foundation, including the necessary technical factors of teachers (hard work, such as teaching language and operation skills) and non-technical teaching factors (soft work, such as educational tact and classroom control ability). "Soft" and "hard" skills are the core support and important cornerstone of the growth of famous teachers. The bright spot of famous teachers in the new era is especially manifested in "soft work", which is the meeting point to show the superior teaching art, creative teaching ability and unique teaching style of famous teachers.
The fourth is the exquisite research level. Teaching and research are the "wings" of a famous teacher. "Teaching" without "research" is shallow, and "research" without "teaching" is floating. Teaching is the inexhaustible source of research, and research is a powerful guarantee for teaching to be full of life and vitality. In the new era, famous teachers should have high academic literacy and research ability, so as to transform the problems encountered in education and teaching into scientific research tasks in time, and realize pioneering understanding and exploration of educational problems and their laws through educational scientific research, so as to continuously improve the quality of education and teaching.
Fifth, strong leading ability. In the new era, famous teachers should be good at tapping their potential and honing themselves, spreading advanced teaching ideas and imparting excellent teaching experience through teaching, learning and research, and guiding other teachers to continuously improve their education and scientific research level, so as to truly become the "radiation source" and leader of the development of teachers.
Sixth, a strong sense of cooperation. Famous teachers grow up by learning from others, and should constantly learn from the educational and teaching wisdom of their peers and experts in order to "combine".
The growth path of famous teachers
Teachers' growth path refers to the path and direction of learning and practice, which is consciously designed with teachers as the active subject, with the purpose of continuously strengthening subjective initiative, and promoting their own literacy and ability to continuously improve. After three years' exploration and practice, the author preliminarily summarizes six ways for the growth of famous teachers in the new period.
(A) professional planning-design the road of self-development.
Teachers' professional development planning is the imagination and planning of all aspects, stages and steps of teachers' professional development, the process of teachers' research, positioning and promotion of their professional growth, and a rational yearning and successful expectation. For example, Bashu Kindergarten in Chongqing takes "making an appropriate professional growth plan" as a breakthrough, helping teachers to analyze their professional strengths and weaknesses, identify the orientation of professional growth, and present the professional growth plan in detail with the Master Growth Handbook, and standardize teachers' action steps with specific projects such as "development vision and planning", "professional learning and exhibition", "educational design and practice", "self-summary and reflection".
(B) professional learning-cultivating a profound educational foundation
The professional learning of famous teachers in the new period mainly includes three ways: "practicing", reading and "reading people".
One is "practice", including "four exercises", that is, training the mind, brain, mouth and pen.
"training the mind" means constantly tempering the emotional experience of education and teaching, maintaining a sense of responsibility and happiness, and overcoming the burnout that will occur at any time;
"Training the brain" is to temper the innovative wisdom of education and teaching, improve the wit of education and teaching, and make classroom communication faster and more targeted;
"Practicing oral English" is to temper one's own education and teaching language, so that the language style is diversified and rich;
"Writing practice" is to temper one's ability to plan and design education and teaching, reflect and summarize, and refine and summarize, so that the level of "moving mouth" and "writing" can develop harmoniously.
The second is reading. Reading classics and talking with educators are the basis for the formation and development of famous teachers' educational thoughts. Promote the training objects of famous teachers to gradually form their own teaching characteristics.
The third is "reading people", including learning from peer experience and learning from expert thinking. Learning from peers' experience refers to learning from others' experience and lessons in the exchange and collision of ideas through the forms of learning from teachers, attending lectures and discussing, so as to learn from others' strengths and avoid weaknesses. Learning expert thinking refers to learning and understanding experts' educational thoughts, research methods and academic attitudes. As the ancients said, it is better to read thousands of books than Wan Li Road, while "reading people" goes further: reading Wan Li Road is worse than reading countless people.
(C) Educational practice-sharpening the wisdom of educational practice
Educational practice is a fertile ground for the survival and development of famous teachers. The establishment of famous teachers' educational concept, the cultivation of educational spirit, the establishment of teaching methods, the formation of teaching style, the publicity of teaching personality and the display of teaching achievements are all completed in educational practice, especially in communication with students and cooperation with teachers' teams.
(D) Educational research-with soaring wings.
Carrying out educational research is a powerful "leg and foot" for famous teachers. Suhomlinski once pointed out: "In terms of its own logic, philosophical basis and creative nature, teachers' work cannot be without research factors." The educational research of famous teachers in primary and secondary schools mainly includes research on topics or problems, typical case studies and self-narrative research.
(E) Summary and reflection-improve the integration of theory and practice.
Self-summary and reflection is a kind of dialogue between theory and practice, a dialogue between research self and teaching self, and a spiritual communication between ideal self and realistic self. Summarizing the contents and perspectives of reflection generally includes summing up experience, reflecting lessons and making forward-looking assumptions, especially the forward-looking assumptions of improving experience and correcting lessons. It is necessary to be good at absorbing peer views, with clear objectives and steps, and specific content and measures.
(6) Exchange and exhibition-rapid growth through experience
To be famous, a famous teacher must be influential and well-known in the education field, and exchange and exhibition is one of the ways to improve his popularity. The main ways of communication and exhibition are opening blogs, attending open classes and participating in academic exchanges.
Of course, due to the limitation of resource allocation in attending public classes and participating in academic exchanges, the objects of training famous teachers are often unable to control themselves. Therefore, entering and opening blogs is an independent space for exchanging educational and teaching experiences, expressing educational and teaching opinions and highlighting professional discourse rights, which is increasingly favored by the objects of training famous teachers and becomes an effective carrier to expand teachers' popularity.
