On July 3rd, students from Linzi Middle School in Zibo made a "Shenzhou-10 Spacecraft Launcher" from waste materials. In recent days, the news that the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft returned home in triumph has greatly stimulated students' interest in science and technology, and set off another upsurge of space science and technology on campus. The students of this school experienced the charm of space science and technology by watching the launch process of Shenzhou-10, making spacecraft launchers and understanding the scientific knowledge of Shenzhou-10 launch. Editor's Note Linzi Middle School was formed by the merger of five former high schools in Linzi District in 20 10. It is the largest high school with the best facilities in the city at present. Based on the modern conditions for running a school and judging the situation, the decision-making level of Linzi Middle School clearly put forward the overall goal of "getting on track in one year, creating norms in two years, making achievements in three years, and establishing a famous school in five years", and established the school-running concept of "developing schools and happy teachers and students" to create successful musicians and cultivate happy musicians. Leye county Xue Le made Linzi Middle School rise against the trend in less than four years. The quality of education has improved rapidly, and the scores of college entrance examination have climbed year after year, realizing the all-round development of teachers and students, and the school has moved from a large-scale school to a strong quality school. In Linzi Middle School, happiness has become a solid fulcrum for teachers and students. Less than four years after its establishment, teachers come from five former high schools in Linzi District, with more than 8,000 students, and students at all levels are less than 1000 junior high school graduates in the whole region ... What should such a big high school do?
The practice of Linzi Middle School is to establish a four-level supervision mechanism and implement the management of educating all staff. "four-level supervision mechanism": the first level is school-level management, that is, the 24-hour teacher duty system led by school leaders; The second level is departmental management, which implements self-management under the control of the school; The third level is the head teacher management, which implements the head teacher education according to the students' problems in the first two levels of management; The fourth level is student management, establishing student union and student management committee, and implementing self-management and self-education. The construction of "four-level" management system has achieved seamless coverage of school management.
The quality of students is uneven, where should education start? The first thing to do well is moral education. Based on this idea, Linzi Middle School has compiled the school-based curriculum of moral education, and established the habit of paying attention to details and cultivating students in senior one. Standardize the second year of high school, expand and improve; The ideal education of senior three, the road map of moral education with sound personality, a series of moral education activities every semester, one theme every month, perfect the work flow of moral education, and realize the hierarchy and serialization of moral education.
Inspirational education is the "highlight" of moral education. Read "Inspirational Letter" in the morning meeting, carefully select inspirational films to play every week, and establish "Inspirational Education Growth Record" to stimulate and awaken students' internal motivation for growth. The school also opened a "moral education lecture hall", and the school leaders personally gave all students "life lessons", which created a powerful "energy field" for their physical and mental growth.
Attach importance to mental health education. The school invested more than 300,000 yuan to build a mental health education center, and carried out in-depth mental health education by offering mental health education classes, building mental health websites, insisting on publishing psychological education newspapers and periodicals, and inviting psychologists to give lectures to students from time to time. Students' Psychological Association has also been established, each department has set up a psychological health consultation station for students, and each class has set up a psychological committee, thus establishing a standardized mental health education network. The school insists on holding campus psychological drama competitions every year, all of which are organized by students themselves, making it the most beautiful scenery on campus.
Let moral education be student-oriented. Linzi Middle School requires students to undertake moral education classes, and requires organizers to design moral education content before classes. Classes are conducted in various forms, such as presentations, exhibitions, debates and sketches, and teachers play a guiding and helping role. Students carry out moral education from their own perspective and in their favorite way, and participate deeply, which greatly enhances the effectiveness of moral education. The school has also established more than 65,438+000 cultural, artistic and basic societies. ) evaluate the activities of the community every month and show them every semester. Every year, the school organizes sports meetings, "students' favorite teachers" selection activities, Teachers' Day celebration parties, New Year's Day parties, poetry recitals, sports competitions and other large-scale activities. All of them are borne by students through bidding. Students bid by class or class combination, and even the activity expenses are paid by the organizer. Activities give students confidence and strength, and improve their sense of responsibility, team awareness and organizational ability.
Linzi Middle School has established a thousand-point assessment system for moral education, which comprehensively considers students' participation and performance level in the whole moral education. Under such an assessment system, everyone can feel the happiness of success, find themselves, find self-confidence, constantly revise and establish correct life coordinates.
President wang hong said, "Everyone has a sun in his heart. When they find their own ignition point, they will generate infinite energy in generate. " The overall quality of students is relatively weak, and the proportion of outstanding students is small. How to do a good job in teaching?
The method of Linzi Middle School is to start with the amount of development, implement low-focus teaching, promote the construction of student-oriented classroom, give confidence to students with learning difficulties, make outstanding students develop better, and make every student become a musician.
The development test paper has more questions than the ordinary test paper, accounting for about 50%, of which the basic knowledge questions account for about 80% and the development questions account for about 20%. Students with poor foundation mainly do basic problems, while students with good foundation try to complete development problems on the basis of completing basic problems. This form of gradient proposition enables students with poor foundation to achieve ideal results, and at the same time, it taps the potential of students with good foundation, and everyone gains something in learning, creating a positive and willing study style, laying the foundation for the large-scale improvement of teaching quality.
Linzi Middle School takes the development of test papers as the starting point, implements a low-focus teaching strategy, teaches students in accordance with their aptitude and classifies teaching, so that each student can start from a suitable low level and reach it by leaps and bounds. Even the last student can master a few knowledge points, do two or three questions in each class, and stimulate passionate interest and cultivate self-confidence in the success of small steps.
The teaching of selecting courses at different levels and taking classes in different classes has the same effect as the teaching with low focus-paying attention to the development of students' personality and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. On the basis of administrative classes, subject teaching is divided into multiple levels, and students choose the levels according to their own conditions and take turns to attend classes. Students who were in the same class in the last Chinese class may not be in the same class in the next math class. Although students at different levels have the same subject teaching content, teachers' teaching strategies are different due to different levels of students.
In order to make teachers better adapt to this teaching change, Linzi Middle School keeps brainstorming. Nearly 300 teachers have been organized to visit famous schools in Guangdong, Guangxi, Shenyang and Henan, and to attend lectures and exchanges in Weifang, Rongcheng and Mu equally. Invite local education experts to make special reports, invite student-oriented education experts to the school to guide teaching reform, and let teachers communicate with experts face to face to solve doubts and doubts. On this basis, we will carry out school-based training for teachers and make every effort to build a high-quality teacher team. The school has 677 teaching staff and 557 full-time teachers, including senior middle school teachers 18 1 person, 220 graduate students, and urban academic leaders and teaching experts 170 people, forming a team of famous teachers with excellent teachers, reasonable age structure and rich teaching experience.
The school has also set up an experimental group for classroom reform, and each subject has a teaching researcher who is fully responsible for the research and implementation of classroom teaching reform in the school. After in-depth research, the classroom teaching mode of "three courses and five links" (learning plan navigation-autonomous learning-interactive inquiry-strengthening guidance-consolidating and improving) is explored. The Standard for Classroom Evaluation of Student-oriented Education has been formulated, which clearly stipulates that the classroom should focus on students' autonomous learning and group discussion, and students' autonomous learning time should be no less than 30 minutes, so that every student has the opportunity to participate in the classroom and show himself. Chen Liguo, director of the teaching department, told reporters: "Courses like this are available in all three grades of the school. Teaching is no longer rigid and boring, but becomes smart and energetic. This is a happy experience for teachers and students. " The municipal education department visited the school for many times to conduct teaching research, praising the experimental research of school teaching management, classroom teaching, especially student-oriented education, which is worth learning and learning from. In the well-designed education and teaching atmosphere, students learn independently and happily, and teachers also gain professional happiness in their professional growth, realizing the purpose of "two joys" and earth-shaking changes in the quality of education and teaching.

How to make students become adults?
Wang hong, the headmaster of Linzi Middle School, replied: Build a development platform for students with associations and activities, and build a distinctive and dynamic school curriculum system to ensure students' all-round development and personality development.

National and provincial intellectual property offices and municipal leaders personally presented awards to them.
Building a scientific and technological innovation education platform is only a microcosm of the diversified development of schools. According to Lu Shaoxue, secretary of the Youth League Committee of the school, the school adopts two ways to form a community. One is that students build their own league and hire teachers to guide them; The second is to mobilize teachers to form associations and students to apply for membership. The school has nearly 100 clubs in five categories: subject clubs, comprehensive clubs, sports clubs, literary clubs and science and technology clubs. All the students in Grade One and Grade Two of the school took part in club activities.
The community construction in Linzi Middle School can be described as "brilliant": science and technology associations often win national awards, and school science and technology education has entered the national advanced ranks; The Psychological Association holds the whole school psychological sitcom exhibition every year, and has participated in the municipal psychological drama exhibition on behalf of Linzi District for many times. 20 12 The 12th National New Education Annual Conference was held in the school. The students of Zero Distance Volunteers Association have undertaken a lot of service reception work with almost professional standards, which has greatly appreciated more than a thousand participants. Professor Zhu Yongxin, the vice president of China Education Association and the initiator of the new teaching reform, was moved and urged to take photos with these lovely children. Model United Nations organizations and debate organizations have achieved excellent results in provincial and municipal competitions. ...
Linzi Middle School allows students to show their elegance and exercise ability through the activity platform. Every year, we hold a campus debate contest in February, learn from Lei Feng series activities in March, perform campus psychological drama in April, recite the poem "The Rhyme of Spring" in May, select "Students' Favorite Teacher" in June, celebrate Teachers' Day in September and award the prize for "Students' Favorite Teacher" in September, and conduct patriotic education series activities in June. 165438. Only when activities become courses can they last for a long time and be systematic. In view of this, the school incorporated knowledge expansion and various organized activities into curriculum management, and increased the development of school-based curriculum. At present, the school has built four school-based courses: moral education, discipline, practice and festivals, among which moral education is divided into moral education system construction, mental health education and safety education. Subject-based courses have developed 50 Yu Ben, many of which have won prizes in provinces and cities; Practical school-based curriculum includes five units: self-management, community activities, activity commitment, labor skills and off-campus practice.

Participated in the national NOC finals, ranked first among all participating high school teams in the country for three times in a row, and many people failed to get into colleges and universities with scientific and technological invention awards. Excellent performance in art and sports competitions. In Shandong Division of the National Basketball League, the women's basketball team won the third place, creating the best result in the history of this project in our city.
