Chongqing: "burden reduction" makes primary and secondary school teachers "separate"
2021-11-22
"In the past, we often received various leaflets and questionnaires, asking us to send them to students, tell them how to fill in, and then collect, sort out and summarize data. Many forms also require students and parents to fill in together. Now these miscellaneous things are basically gone, and we can read more quietly and teach more attentively." speaking of teachers' burden reduction " Chang Xiujuan, a Chinese teacher of Chongqing People's primary school, was filled with emotion over the changes in the past two years. Chongqing issued the list of reducing the burden of primary and secondary school teachers in Chongqing in 2020, which comprehensively launched a series of actions to reduce the burden of primary and secondary school teachers from the aspects of reducing supervision and evaluation matters, standardizing the entry of social affairs into the campus, streamlining various statements, and strictly managing seconded teachers. Huang Zheng, director of Chongqing Municipal Education Commission, said that reducing the unreasonable burden on primary and secondary school teachers is to ensure that primary and secondary school teachers can devote themselves to teaching and quiet education, and promote the comprehensive "quality improvement" of teaching and education through the comprehensive "burden reduction" of teachers. Less report evaluation "less running" and "no running" An obvious change brought about by "burden reduction" is that there are far fewer forms that "can never be filled out". Zhang Changyong, vice president of Chongqing high tech Zone attached primary school, is in charge of moral education and teaching. In the past, because there were always endless forms on hand, his colleagues jokingly called him "big cousin". "Before the burden reduction, there were a stack of forms almost every week, including health inspection, sports and art evaluation, book subscription and social affairs. Each item had superior supervision, door-to-door evaluation and everything was important!" Zhang Changyong said that until mid November this year, only a few forms were filled in, and all kinds of supervision and evaluation were reduced from more than 40 to 6. Through the centralized cleaning of the inspection, evaluation and assessment items, Chongqing high tech Zone makes it clear that only one regular inspection of safety, stability and education and teaching work is carried out every month, and one inspection and assessment of school running level is carried out at the end of the period. The whole region has also cleaned up all kinds of departments and institutions to "enter the campus" and formulated a "white list". Matters that are not on the "white list" are not allowed to enter the campus. According to Zhou Wenyang, director of the public service bureau of the high tech Zone, in addition to reducing the evaluation and various reports, the high tech Zone and other districts and counties have also synchronously developed the smart school information management platform to realize the automatic collection and sorting of data and the collection and multiple use of platform data at one time, so that schools and teachers can "run less" and "don't run". Tracking statistics show that a total of 246 statistical statements filled in by primary and secondary schools and teachers have been cancelled in all districts and counties of Chongqing this year, and the supervision, inspection, evaluation and assessment items involving primary and secondary schools and teachers have been reduced by more than 50% year-on-year. Improving efficiency and quality, emphasizing teaching and students "The purpose of reducing teachers' burden is to make schools and teachers light up and improve work efficiency and educational quality," said Li Jinyu, deputy director of Chongqing Municipal Education Commission. After the "double reduction", there are higher requirements for the quality of students' homework. The high school affiliated to southwest university organizes unified homework design for all grades, sets up homework resource database for each discipline, and teachers optimize the implementation in the big plan. The whole school has the "daily lesson preparation" time of the discipline teaching and research group of each grade every day, and there are major teaching and research activities integrating various disciplines every month. Ou Jian, the principal, believes that freeing from the complicated affairs unrelated to teaching, research and teaching is conducive to the school to concentrate collective wisdom, expand the breadth and depth of teaching and research, and more conducive to the continuous growth of young teachers in the team. "Burden reduction" also smoothed the transformation from Boya primary school in Liangjiang New Area of Chongqing to "future school". Headmaster Xie Xiaomei said that the school hopes to build a smart campus and smart education through the deep integration of information technology and education and teaching. In recent years, it has successively built an "Artificial Intelligence Laboratory" and a "smart teaching center" to apply AR technology to some classroom teaching. While "reducing the burden" for teachers, it also "empowers" teachers. In recent years, Chongqing has continuously strengthened the construction of professional development support service system for primary and secondary school teachers. In the past three years, it has invested more than 400 million yuan in teacher training above the municipal level and trained more than 110000 primary and secondary school teachers. More warmth, more love, more peace of mind and more comfort Every noon, the campus of Chongqing Yubei experimental primary school will sound the music of aerobics. With the dynamic rhythm, school teachers do finger acupoint aerobics while talking and joking with each other. Finger acupoint aerobics is specially arranged for teachers by the school sports group, which stretches the body through the acupoints of neck, shoulder, waist, back and hand. "Giving teachers more care can make them feel comfortable facing their students. From this perspective, caring for teachers' physical and mental health is also an important part of teachers' burden reduction," said AI daochun, director of Yubei District Education Commission. "Teachers should not only 'reduce their burden' but also 'increase their happiness'." Guo Zeren, President of Chongqing University Town People's primary school, said that the school takes improving teachers' happiness index as one of the criteria to measure teachers' "reduce their burden", and organizes teachers' youth songs, interesting sports, theme reading clubs and other colorful literary and artistic activities to alleviate teachers' work pressure. The school also drew up a list of physical and mental care, carried out mental health screening for teachers, and gave more care and care to teachers and staff facing difficulties. Since this year, the school has launched the "break, give up and leave" plan to mobilize the whole school teachers to think about their personal shortcomings and determine the improvement objectives. Teacher Zhao Yalan made a physical improvement plan. She used the fragmented time to correct her standing and sitting posture according to the plan. The symptoms of low back pain were significantly reduced and her mental state was much better than before. (outlook new era)
