How do schools in the urban-rural junction do a good job of after-school service after the "double reduction"? The primary schools in the urban-rural junction of Baiyun District, Guangzhou actively develop characteristic courses and teaching, the family committee plays a leading role in organization, students actively sign up for after-school services, and parents of students especially love sports courses. However, there is also a general shortage of teachers in schools, which needs to be solved urgently.
After-school service: actively develop characteristic courses
Baiyun Mawu Primary School is located in the urban-rural junction, with 14 classes and 580 students. However, the enthusiasm of parents and students to sign up for after-school services is surprising. More than 400 students signed up for quality courses over 900 times, and ball games accounted for more than half.
Principal Deng Huizhen introduced that the after-school service features of the school hosted 18 courses, including sports, art and technology. The number of students who sign up for sports courses is the largest, especially ball games are very popular. There are more than 100 people in badminton, 80 people in football and over 100 people in basketball.
In addition, since November, about half of the students in the school have taken a lunch break at school, and they have slept on their backs: students in grades 1-4 sleep on foldable wooden beds or thickened yoga mats; Students in grades 5 and 6 don’t sleep on desks.
Luogang Village Primary School in Baiyun District is a typical primary school in the urban-rural junction, with a total of 530 students. After-school service offers 11 special courses, with about 300 applicants, accounting for about 60% of the total number. Among them, there are about 100 applicants for hard pen and soft pen courses. Yuan Yuehua, vice president, said that calligraphy courses have been in short supply because parents can see the learning effect quickly. In addition, the number of applicants for sports quality courses is also quite large, and school teams of football and track and field have been formed.
After the "double reduction", after-school services are offered, students spend more time in school and have more time for teaching and research activities with special themes. Teachers have independently developed some comprehensive practical curriculum projects and labor education projects. For example, Mawu Primary School has opened up an "urban small vegetable garden". Students in each grade and class have their own "responsibility fields". Students grow their own vegetables such as cabbage, cabbage, broccoli and sweet potato, keep observation diaries and make enzyme fertilizers. Mawu Primary School is not only a pilot school of urban small vegetable garden, but also an experimental school of teaching and research base of labor education in Guangdong Province.
Experience: the educational concept is uneven, and the family Committee plays a leading role.
According to the person in charge of Ruide Education, a third-party organization that provides after-school services for more than 20 primary and secondary schools in Baiyun District, the parents of primary schools in the urban-rural junction are mostly villagers or migrant workers, and they are sensitive to the price of special courses for after-school services. In addition, some parents have insufficient awareness of students’ quality training, and even if they have the financial ability, they only give their children basic custody. In fact, the school’s characteristic hosting courses are cost-effective, and they also enjoy the platform of grading, competition and performance, and even participate in the competition of the education department on behalf of the school to win honor for the school.
Among the primary schools in the urban-rural junction, Mawu Primary School is one of the schools with the highest after-school service registration rate. What is your experience? Principal Deng Huizhen introduced that the school actively played the role of the family Committee in coordination, organization and mobilization. "The school communicated with the family Committee in advance about the opening of after-school service courses, and the grade family Committee led the class family Committee. Each class was divided into several groups. One family Committee answered questions for the parents of one group, and several family committees led a class. Parents who encounter difficulties in platform registration and course selection will be helped by the family Committee, and the whole school will be driven. "
Due to the shortage of physical education and art teachers, the school also hopes that more children can participate in after-school special courses to improve their comprehensive quality and complement school-based courses. Yuan Yuehua said, "I hope more and more parents can strengthen their awareness of scientific training for their children, change their educational concepts and attach importance to the study of characteristic courses."
Difficulties: there are not enough teachers, and one teacher has more than one job.
At present, every district in Guangzhou is building new primary and secondary schools and vigorously increasing the number of degrees in compulsory education. Compared with new schools and schools in the central area, the urban-rural junction
Teachers in primary schools are more nervous. After-school service is offered, students’ school hours are prolonged, and the pressure of insufficient teachers is more prominent.
For example, Mawu Primary School, 3: 40-4: 20 pm every day, is the basic custody time; 4: 40-6: 00 is the special custody or the second period of basic custody, and all teachers in the school should participate in the basic custody.
Principal Deng Huizhen said that the biggest problem since the after-school service was launched is that there are not enough teachers. "The school should be full of 31 teachers, but now there are only 24 teachers, 6 temporary teachers and 1 government employee." At present, there are 30 teachers in Luogang Village Primary School, only 16 are editing teachers, 3 are government employees, and the rest are post teachers.
What if there is a shortage of teachers? More than one person. In the primary school in the urban-rural junction, teachers generally have multiple roles, and everyone is "multifaceted". A headmaster told reporters that some teachers in the school should teach five courses: Chinese, Taoism, science, music and art. It is common for a teacher to take several courses.
As the principal, Deng Huizhen should also teach and take care of the trusteeship after management, and teach English in a class of Grade 6, with four classes a week. There was a time when there was no physical education teacher at all in the school, and all the teachers in the school had to be part-time physical education teachers.
