County level ordinary high schools (hereinafter referred to as "county middle schools") are the key focus of improving a fair and high-quality basic education system. In the past period, the county has focused on improving the quality of education and achieved positive results. However, in recent years, some counties have faced challenges in terms of student resources, teaching staff, education quality, and school conditions, making "county revitalization" a hot topic of social discussion. What about the future of children in the county if they can't attend good schools? ”Faced with the expectations of the masses, various regions and parties have put the development of the county on the policy agenda, systematically responding to the development difficulties in the county through a series of combination punches, striving to shape a good education ecology in the county, and enabling children to enjoy high-quality educational resources at their doorstep. How to improve the quality of education? Deepening teaching reform and promoting the comprehensive development of students, from the "14th Five Year Plan for the Development and Improvement of County level Ordinary High Schools" issued in 2021 to the "Action Plan for the Revitalization of County level Ordinary High Schools" issued this year, standardizing enrollment order is an important content. It is strictly prohibited for high schools in provincial and provincial capital cities to illegally recruit students at the county level, to recruit students without a plan or beyond the plan, to suspend student enrollment and cross regional poaching of students... Many places are solidly promoting "sunshine enrollment", breaking the vicious circle of competition for students, and allowing counties to run schools with peace of mind. In terms of class allocation, the school strives to achieve a balanced distribution of resources. ”Li Zheng, a second year teacher at Jinshan Middle School in Kalaqin Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, said that the school randomly assigns students to each class through computers based on their admission scores and gender ratios, and arranges experienced teachers to match young teachers in the teaching staff. Many counties overly focus on top students and neglect some students with average grades. ”Liming, the principal of Jinshan Middle School, said that in response to this issue, his school pays more attention to the growth of each child and emphasizes individualized teaching. We provide expansion courses for children who have extra capacity to learn, and one-on-one targeted tutoring for those who cannot keep up. We pay special attention to 'students with learning difficulties' and explore the establishment of a student lecturer team to provide them with tutoring under the guidance of teachers, forming a cooperative and mutual aid atmosphere. In terms of teaching, some counties mainly rely on time and problem-solving tactics to gain score advantages. On the desk, stacking papers can cover your face. Some students feel sleepy and dare not sleep, fearing that others are practicing problems, and sleeping alone is equivalent to stepping back. In Li Zheng's opinion, the key to improving teaching quality is to increase learning efficiency, optimize time management, and avoid ineffective practice. In addition to regular courses, we guide students to arrange their weekly and daily learning content, set aside time for evening self-study, and allow students to independently organize and summarize their mistakes, "said Li Zheng. ”Liming believes that this is a profound reflection of the quality of education. However, the focus of people's discussions is often on "high scores" and "prestigious students", while the efforts of schools in terms of ideological and moral character, club activities, etc. are often overlooked. How to scientifically evaluate the quality of education in counties? We cannot blindly pursue higher education rates. In addition to grades, it is also important to help students make progress in their ideological and moral character, practical skills, innovative spirit, and sense of social responsibility. ”The person in charge of the Education Bureau of Changde City, Hunan Province said that the development potential after entering university and entering society is more important. It is reported that Changde has issued detailed rules for evaluating the quality of ordinary high school education and teaching, establishing an evaluation system that includes 12 key points from three dimensions: school management, teacher development, and student development. The person in charge stated, "We not only assess the quality of the region, but also classify different types of schools as' horse racing '. In terms of student development, we not only focus on cultural achievements, but also guide schools to pay attention to comprehensive qualities and establish an evaluation orientation for the comprehensive development of all students. In our school, specifically, we need to achieve five good qualities: good thinking, good eating, good sleeping, good physical exercise, and good classroom performance. ”Liu Hongqing, Secretary of the Party Committee of Taoyuan County No.1 Middle School in Changde City, introduced that the school offers all the courses required by the national regulations, and holds sports games until the third year of high school. Physical education classes are held twice a week, and "teaching does not require overtime work, reasonable scheduling of work and rest, and effectively guarantees students' exercise, rest, and sleep time." "It is not realistic to compete with prestigious schools in the city for student sources, and we must find our own advantages. ”Liu Hongqing said that Taoyuan No.1 High School does not follow the path of "one school for a thousand", but takes characteristic high schools as the idea and highlights national defense education. For example, in terms of recruiting pilots, 28 pilots have been trained in the past 3 years, and 9 of them have obtained dual enrollment in top universities. In the future, Taoyuan No.1 Middle School will continue to strengthen its educational characteristics, allowing more children to take off from the county and soar towards a wider sky. How to recruit, teach well, and retain teachers? Strengthening teacher training, optimizing teacher compensation, and ensuring high-quality teachers are the key to high-quality education. Teachers are important resources for the revitalization of counties. The extreme seriousness and exemplary teaching of the teachers have been engraved into my dream chasing time. ”Eight years ago, Ji Yuhao was admitted to Nanjing University from Rudong Senior High School in Rudong County, Jiangsu Province, and was filled with gratitude. After graduating from university, Ji Yuhao chose to return to his alma mater and become a county high school teacher: "I want to be like my predecessors and support the dreams of the children in my hometown." In teaching, passion alone is not enough. Ji Yuhao recalled that when he first stepped onto the podium, he felt a bit uneasy: How to control the pace of a 45 minute class? Can students understand? The school's systematic training allowed him to quickly get started: he became a master apprentice with his former homeroom teacher, first listening to a lesson taught by the "master" and then giving a lesson himself; Twice a week, group lesson preparation is conducted to discuss teaching difficulties; Once a week during teaching and research classes, teachers take turns teaching open classes... Ji Yuhao, who grew up in learning, won the first prize in the provincial high school chemistry excellent course exhibition and observation activity from the second year of teaching. In terms of professional development, there is still room for improvement in the abilities and qualities of teachers in the county. ”Wang Jibing, Secretary of the Party Committee and President of Rudong Senior High School, said that the school has improved the professional level of young teachers through the implementation of the "Green and Blue Project" mentorship system, the establishment of teacher professional growth files, and regular organization of special seminars, striving to make county teachers more outstanding than blue. Strengthening teacher training is beneficial for improving teachers' abilities and qualities; Strengthening the teaching staff requires the addition of fresh blood. How to recruit good teachers in the county? In the past, it was difficult to recruit school teachers, and in some years, the recruitment plan could not even be completed. It's even more unimaginable to recruit students from prestigious universities to become teachers. This year, the school suddenly welcomed 13 graduates from Beijing Normal University's' Excellent Teacher Program '. ”Chen Shengquan, the principal of Guangxi Dahua Yao Autonomous County Senior High School, said. It is reported that the "Excellent Teacher Program" annually trains teacher trainees for 832 poverty-stricken counties and land border counties in the central and western regions. This year, the central and western regions welcomed nearly 10000 graduates as the first batch. On the one hand, the county has caught up with good policies. On the other hand, local governments and schools have also changed their mindset, shifting from 'waiting for talent to come to their doorstep' to actively engaging in invitation and communication. ”Chen Shengquan said that the arrival of graduates from the "Excellent Teacher Plan" has brought new opportunities for the development of the county. When more teachers are recruited and taught well, how to keep them is also a challenge faced by the county. Some interviewed county principals have stated that there are cases of excellent teachers being "poached" from time to time. Liu Shanhuai, a distinguished professor of South China Normal University, and his team investigated a province and county in the east of China and found that young outstanding teachers and teachers with higher academic qualifications and professional titles have relatively stronger willingness to flow; The higher the level of the school platform and the better the environment, the lower the willingness of teachers to move; Salary and development prospects are key factors affecting the stability of teachers. Liu Shanhuai said that to attract and retain excellent teachers, comprehensive reforms should be carried out in terms of salary and benefits, career development, humanistic environment, evaluation mechanism, and other dimensions, to create an educational ecology that is conducive to teachers' peace of mind in teaching and dedicated education. The relevant person in charge of the Basic Education Department of the Ministry of Education introduced that the "Action Plan for Revitalizing County Ordinary High Schools" has proposed to implement the action plan of improving the teacher team, focusing on fully equipping and strengthening the team, strengthening training and training, and optimizing treatment guarantees, "including including eligible county middle school teachers in the scope of local housing security. Where do high-quality resources come from? Accurately assessing the needs of schools and continuously deepening the management and assistance in the face of interrelated challenges such as software and hardware, what is needed for the revitalization of the county is a systematic empowerment. Starting from 2022, Shanghai Jiao Tong University will provide trusteeship and assistance to two county schools, Ding'an Middle School in Ding'an County, Hainan and Eryuan County No.1 Middle School in Yunnan. After preliminary research, we have identified the practical difficulties faced by the two counties and built a multi-level and three-dimensional assistance system based on this, "said Wang Linyuan, Director of the Basic Education Office and Secretary of the Party Committee of the School of Education at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. On the basis of precise pulse diagnosis, a comprehensive, full process, and full coverage custody and assistance mechanism has gradually been established: Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Middle School has selected four management backbones to go to two counties, bringing advanced management concepts; The school Youth League Committee selects nearly 10 outstanding graduate students annually and conducts a one-year teaching support program. Currently, 97 students have been selected; Nearly 40 experts from the Education College and principals of affiliated schools went to provide guidance and solve bottleneck problems in the curriculum system and management mechanism... A series of solid measures have enhanced the confidence and confidence of education in the county. Pairing assistance should inject high-quality resources as "living water", and also sow the "seeds" of vision and literacy, awakening students' inner growth motivation. Last year, representatives of teachers and students from Ding'an Middle School were invited to Shanghai Jiao Tong University for a study tour. At the school history museum, students immerse themselves in the rich history of a century old institution and feel the continuous inheritance of academic spirit; At the Jiading branch of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated High School, they audited chemistry and biology classes and developed a great interest in scientific research... A accompanying teacher exclaimed, "After returning home, the children's learning attitudes have significantly changed and their goals have become clearer." It is reported that during the 14th Five Year Plan period, the Ministry of Education implemented the county level entrusted assistance project for subordinate universities, organizing 48 subordinate universities and related professional institutions to provide entrusted assistance to 115 counties in 23 provinces in the central and western regions, Northeast China, and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. At the same time, various regions have actively organized local universities and high-quality ordinary high schools in urban areas to carry out county-level care and assistance. Currently, nearly 2000 counties have received care and assistance, accounting for about 25% of the total number of counties. A national demonstration and provincial-level county-level care and assistance system has been initially established. This autumn semester, the teaching team of Yunnan Normal University Affiliated Middle School once again went to Lianghe County No.1 Middle School in Yunnan to carry out teaching activities - this 10-year educational journey has become a warm agreement between the two schools. In the past, educational resources in Lianghe were relatively scarce, and many parents sent their children to study outside the county. There has been a big change now, and more children are willing to stay. ”Principal Cun Yongmeng of Lianghe No.1 Middle School said. In 2012, Yunnan Normal University established the Basic Education Group, focusing on exploring the path of revitalization in the county. At present, there are 32 high schools in operation, including 24 county-level high schools, including 15 joint county-level high schools and 9 assisted county-level high schools. ”Wang Yuguang, Director of the Basic Education Group of Yunnan Normal University, introduced that through the "dual education coordination" of higher education and basic education, Yunnan Normal University has deeply participated in the entire process of development in the county. Even more delightful is the return of talent. Cun Yongmeng said, 'After passing the entrance examination at our school, I went to college now.'
