The unprecedented "double reduction" policy focuses on reducing the burden of students' homework and the burden of off-campus training.

If the policy is to be truly effective, the key lies in keeping the school, the main position of education and teaching.

It is foreseeable that the school-running ecology of primary and secondary schools is facing a new pattern.

Facing the first semester after the "double reduction", what should the school do?

What are the current difficult issues to be solved urgently?

First question

Has the teacher's mentality adjusted?

　　As the main body of teaching and educating people and the implementation of the "double reduction" policy, the mentality and behavior of the majority of teachers is the key to whether the policy can be truly implemented.

　　During the interview, many teachers expressed their understanding of "double reduction". A teacher Duan who teaches Chinese in Taiyuan said: "The problem of heavy student burden has existed for many years. The policy of "double reduction" should be good for reducing the burden on students. effect."

　　At the same time, some teachers worry that the "double reduction" will increase the burden after landing.

"I'm just afraid of cancellation of winter and summer vacations or extension of get off work hours, even if there is a subsidy." A teacher Liu, a music teacher, told Banyuetan reporters that she teaches 22 classes and one teaching and research class every week, plus other tasks. , "Sometimes I go out at 6 o'clock in the morning and can only go home at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening."

　　"Implementing the'double reduction' policy requires extending the working hours of teachers, and some teachers may have concerns." Li Chuying, principal of Haikou Seaview School in Hainan Province, believes that some teachers are not yet ideologically ready, adjust their mentality and coordinate their work and rest. Time and ensuring reasonable remuneration for teachers to participate in after-school services are the top priorities of the school.

　　During the interview, the teacher also reported that some extra non-teaching tasks took up too much time for them.

"To be honest, teachers often don't have time to do their teaching with peace of mind. There are too many chores. They watch videos on various festivals for briefings, anti-fraud propaganda, let parents download apps, and forward the school propaganda articles.

　　The Banyuetan reporter learned that at present, relevant regulations are being issued in various places to further reduce the burden on primary and secondary school teachers.

At the same time, in response to teachers’ strong complaints about extending working hours, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Education stated that the “double reduction” document stipulates that schools can coordinate arrangements for teachers to implement the “flexible commuting system”.

At present, Beijing, Liaoning and other places are considering ways to ease the pressure on teachers in schools by implementing flexible ways for teachers to commute to and from get off work.

　　Hou Mingfei, the principal of Hunnan No. 9 Primary School in Shenyang, told Banyuetan reporters that the school plans to explore the implementation of a flexible commuting system for teachers in the fall semester of 2021, and at the same time distribute teachers' after-school service income through the assessment method of more work and more rewards.

Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, proposed that while reducing the burden on teachers, we should also increase the number of teachers based on actual conditions.

Second question

Is the after-school service ready?

　　The "double reduction" policy puts forward clearer goals and requirements for the promotion of post-class services in schools: to help solve students' homework problems, use public resources to develop students' interests and specialties, and improve parents' sense of gain and happiness.

　　Interviews by Banyuetan reporters found that after-school services have been generally launched across the country, and some pilot schools have achieved remarkable results.

Wuyuanhe School in Haikou City, Hainan Province has fully tapped the teaching resources of the school and provided 70 interest classes for students, which effectively stimulated the growth aspirations of teachers in the fields of music, sports, art, and labor. At the same time, some young teachers have been trained in their ethics and skills. The combination of the diversified development of students and the professional development of teachers is well received by all parties.

　　At present, some schools are considering introducing off-campus institutions into schools to provide after-school services.

In this regard, some schools also have concerns.

Feng Hexia, the principal of Xinjianlu Primary School in Taiyuan, said that schools generally have three concerns when organizations outside the school enter the school: how much is the charge?

How to choose an institution?

Who will be responsible for the safety of students after the institution enters the school?

She suggested that relevant departments issue detailed rules for the implementation of institutions entering campuses as soon as possible.

Third question

How to build a new curriculum system?

　　The "double reduction" policy puts forward higher requirements for schools to meet the individualized and diversified growth needs of students.

How to make the students full and eat well at school, and build a new curriculum system suitable for student development is an important problem that the school must solve.

　　"Teachers should condense the most quintessential knowledge points into the classroom, so that students can draw inferences from one another." Yu Ying, the principal of Shenyang Railway No. 5 Primary School, said that to achieve the goal of "double reduction", the first thing to do is to ask for efficiency in the 45-minute class.

Teachers must ensure that all the knowledge learned by students in every class, day, and stage can be absorbed and digested in the classroom. This is called the "three cleansing" system.

　　In order to realize the "San Qing", in the fifth elementary school of the railway, teachers spend a lot of energy on lesson preparation and teaching exchanges.

At the same time, the school guides students to complete non-written assignments outside of class in the form of task lists, such as housework, sports, book reading, hot news collection, etc. Such non-written assignments are more autonomous, scientific, and developmental.

　　Of course, the key to the innovation of the curriculum system depends on the effect, and necessary adjustments must be made according to the feedback of students and parents.

“My child’s school implements flipped classrooms. The teacher’s lecture time is no more than 15 minutes, and some knowledge points are not available to the child.” Ms. Yan, who has junior high school students at home, said that such innovative measures still need to be perfected.

　　Experts proposed that each school should construct the overall curriculum on the basis of the original curriculum based on the "double reduction" tasks and requirements, combined with the new student development and academic quality evaluation system, and consider the school's own reality, such as level, type, history, Teachers, source of students, characteristics, etc., form a practical school curriculum plan under the new situation.
