Education is the science of educating people, respecting students, stimulating interest, following the rules, finding the right methods, perfecting the mechanism, and efficiency, which can achieve mutual growth between teaching and learning.
The integration of urban and rural areas, regional coordination, and the collaboration between mountains and seas have never been. Every small thing we do today is a step forward, and it will eventually become a thousand miles.
"Give every child a chance to shine in life!" With this belief, I left Zhejiang and embarked on the journey to the high of Aba, Sichuan, at an altitude of 3300 meters. I still remember the first class: outside the classroom, the cold wind and were drilling into my collar; inside the classroom, the eyes of students from various ethnic groups such as Han, Tibetan, Qiang, and Hui were sparkling. thought of how difficult it was for students here to get into undergraduate colleges through the ordinary college entrance examination, and I thought of parents who directly said, "What's use of studying? It's better to go home and graze yaks." Suddenly, my nose felt sour. Never before had I been so determined to open this and let the children in the mountains also see the endless world.

To break through, we must first identify the weak points. When I first arrived, I conducted a thorough assessment: teachers' lesson plans perfunctory and scribbled, students' basic skills were weak, and many scored less than 30 points in math exams; parents were indifferent to, believing that "making money is more practical than studying." The places where problems cluster are the key to breaking the deadlock. In education and teaching, the "te" character comes first, and the ideological and ability issues of teachers are the first that need to be addressed.
To make teachers enthusiastic, skillful, and willing to hard, it is useless to talk about grand principles. The key lies in forming psychological identification. Every week during the morning meeting, we no longer arrange for leaders to, but instead invite front-line teachers to stand on the podium and tell their own stories of educating people. Art teacher Liu Chengzhi, who was sick with a, still tutored students with an oxygen tank; old teacher Tan He, who has been rooted in the pastoral area for 30 years, built a bridge of with his perseverance... Gradually, "Pioneer of Education" became the most proud title for teachers. Leading the trend with role models and making the profession a source pride, everyone's enthusiasm for teaching reached an unprecedented high, and teacher's honor went from "nothing" to winning 10 provincial-level awards in one year.

What to do when students have a poor foundation and forget what they have been taught? We have launched a mentor system that not only guides academic but also provides life guidance; we have built a model of "question-theme-special topic-project", and through teacher competition and lesson polishing, we integrate teaching needs with guidance; we have designated the 11th of each month as "teaching reflection day", to "tailor-made" learning plans for students, and set upclass research group" to learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses. Through innovating the student training model and reconstructing the classroom teaching system, face of education has been completely changed, and the transformation from "teaching from books all the time" to "interesting classroom and voluntary learning" has been achieved. is the science of educating people. Respecting students, stimulating interest, following the rules, finding the right methods, perfecting the mechanism, and improving efficiency can the growth of both teaching and learning.

Educational assistance, it is more important to support intelligence than to support aspirations. Compared with the eastern region, there is still a certain in educational resources in the western mountainous areas, which objectively limits the children's horizons. The collaboration between the east and the west is to break this barrier. introduce external resources, and student Ze Xiu discovered his programming talent through assessment. In just half a year, the drone programming club he was in won the first prize the state-level competition. He said, "I used to think that children on the plateau could only graze, but now I know that code can also fly over snow-capped mountains." During the winter and summer holidays, we organize students to study in Beijing and Zhejiang, to watch the flag-raising at Tianan Square and to admire the Red Boat in Nanhu Lake. A Tibetan student wrote in his diary, "Standing on the Great Wall, I finally understand that my dream not only to walk out of the mountains, but also to bring the mountains to the world." The integration of urban and rural areas, regional coordination, and the collaboration mountains and seas have never been slogans. Every little thing we do today is to accumulate steps, and it will eventually become a thousand miles.

The child who once ducked and hid is now confidently dancing "Yingshan Hong" on the stage; at the parents' meeting of graduates, a Tibetan father presented the teachers with a khata, "It turns out that reading can really change destiny"... "Every ray of light shines brightly", thelight" of Aba County Middle School is the unextinguished lights in the classrooms late at night, and the stars in the students' eyes when they talk their dreams. The persistence of countless teachers and students has allowed plateau education to continuously break through. This road is very difficult to walk, but looking back, countless Gang flowers have already bloomed stubbornly. We will continue to move forward with hope and light up more dreams with the fire of education.
