FROM QUALITY AWARENESS TO QUALITY ACTION, FROM A CLEAR AND POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE TO INITIAL RESULTS
CLASSROOM CULTURE DISPLAY
OF HUAMEI FOREIGN LANGUAGE SCHOOL（PART 11）
President Deng Dengjiang proposed a comprehensive view of quality, where the "Four Focus Areas" define the quality, and the "Three 80% or Above Achievements" define the quantity. The classroom is the main channel for education and teaching, and this semester will showcase various aspects of the school's classroom culture. The purpose of this activity is to address the doubts, difficulties, pains, and blind spots in daily teaching. Emphasizing the idea that "simple dishes nourish people" and "regular classes nurture people," the focus is on "ordinary classes" without unnecessary embellishments. The main criteria for judgment are practicality, pragmatism, implementation, and effectiveness. This aims to promote collective lesson preparation, refinement, reflection, and other teaching and research activities within subject groups, with the goal of forming Huamei's classroom culture.
From Lingering at a Low Position to Ranking First
At the beginning of the semester, President Deng's directive to "get into the learning state as quickly as possible" is still fresh in our minds. In the blink of an eye, we have reached the end of the semester, and how did the teaching, which is the school's "core business" and "main source of income," fare?
In the end-of-semester Grade 5 assessment by Jin'an Education Group, comprising 21 classes from several schools, Huamei Foreign Language School's Class 501 secured the top position in total scores, first in mathematics, second in English, and excelled in various other data metrics.
It's worth noting that in previous years, Huamei's performance in group assessments hasn't been very impressive.
Why such a dramatic change?
Simply because President Deng and Principal Hu firmly held onto the unwavering commitment to enhancing the quality of education and teaching, making it the central focus of their efforts!
Only because all subject teachers work overtime, strive every second, and undergo strict training! Teachers Zhao Jing, Liu Xiaojia,Ms Izabela and Liu Qiao conduct daily dictations, memorizations, and problem-solving sessions in the morning and evening.
Only because of the collaborative efforts of the teaching team! Mathematics research group leader, Teacher Zhang Jianyin, teaches sixth grade and adopts a person-to-person strategy, volunteering to provide extra lessons for fifth-grade students every day.
Only because of diligent dedication to the art of education and teaching! Delving into every learning content, contemplating each question, scrutinizing every learning detail, and pondering over every learning habit.
From Quality Awareness to Quality Action
A month ago, the school organized teachers from various subjects to carefully select review materials, sparking a fervor for emphasizing teaching quality.
As a result, during every break, one could see teachers guiding students, with morning study sessions starting earlier and evening study sessions extending later. Some students completed a week's worth of exercises in just one day.
It's not only about hard work but also smart work; not just sweat but also tears of joy. Teachers carefully selected questions, created intricate teaching materials, significantly improving teaching efficiency. Students deepened their understanding, expanded their knowledge, and elevated their skills through appropriately challenging exercises.
During the final exams, teachers didn't waste any spare time, racing against the clock to provide guidance to students. This not only improved academic performance but, more importantly, cultivated good study habits and created a strong learning atmosphere. Students began to find joy in learning, take pride in their studies, cherish every moment, develop themselves, and achieve success, making the most of their youth and time.
From Solo Operations to Team Collaboration
This winter break, the school has meticulously selected holiday assignments for the children, providing a detailed daily task list for each subject. Parents are encouraged to supervise and ensure that their children complete the assignments each day. Subject teachers release answers daily, and parents are encouraged to supervise their children's corrections. Parents are also urged to ensure that children upload pictures of their assignments daily, with subject teachers providing daily feedback. At the beginning of the next semester, the school will organize a holiday assignment exhibition, recognizing and commending outstanding holiday learners.
Excellent achievements rely on the accumulation of small efforts, good habits depend on daily training, and a sound character is built through gradual and consistent perseverance.
In the upcoming semester, the school will focus on monitoring student assignments, checking for independent completion, ensuring assignments are done on time and with quality, verifying timely correction and feedback from teachers, and assessing the overall effectiveness of assignments.
Culture, culture, through culture. The term "culture" denotes a deliberate pace. Deliberateness is not synonymous with slowness; rather, it follows a set of rules and respects regulations. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative transformations, and as long as our strategies are sound, the pace of development is like a snowball rolling downhill, eventually achieving an explosive growth. Let us establish a partnership between home and school, both within and outside the school, during school and vacation times, utilizing all available factors (time and space, mental and material), to promote the comprehensive development of students and create a bright future for Huamei students.
