As early as the beginning of this year, the public announcement of the public recruitment of personnel to be hired by Hangzhou Senior High School affiliated to the Hangzhou Municipal Education Bureau has caused heated discussions: Among the 186 people on the list, there are 162 masters and 4 doctors, and there are many Stanford University, Columbia University, Graduates of prestigious universities such as Hong Kong University and Zhejiang University.
"From undergraduate to doctorate, more and more highly educated teams have improved Hangzhou's educational standards again and again." The person in charge of the Personnel Office of the Hangzhou Education Bureau believes that the overall educational qualifications of teachers in Hangzhou have ranked first in the country.
Matching with the academic qualifications, Hangzhou's "high gold content" recruitment requirements.
In June this year, the public institutions affiliated to the Xihu District Education Bureau of Hangzhou City announced the recruitment of 95 teachers, clearly indicating the requirements for teachers.
For fresh graduates, in addition to the corresponding academic qualifications and degree certificate graduates, they must also meet one of the following conditions: Graduated from a postgraduate; Obtained a national scholarship during the undergraduate period; The provincial and above normal students' skills competition won the prize; the grade comprehensive (professional) score ranked the top 20%; the teacher graduated, the grade comprehensive (professional) score ranked the top 30%...
The recruitment threshold is not low, but the number of applicants is quite large.
According to the statistics of the Personnel Department of the Hangzhou Education Bureau, there are hundreds of people competing for a single teacher position. In a recruitment of the Hangzhou education system at the beginning of this year, hundreds of teacher recruitment indicators attracted nearly 20,000 applicants, many of them with doctoral degrees. .
Doctors, masters, and bachelors should each have their own "love" when recruiting.
The person in charge of the Personnel Department of the Hangzhou Education Bureau believes that it is normal for doctoral students to apply for teachers frequently. They generally tend to be high school teachers. In some discipline competition projects, doctoral students do perform better than undergraduates.

It is worth noting that in the teaching team, both applicants and recruits are all female.
"In many high schools in Hangzhou, female teachers account for almost 60-70%, and even more so in junior high schools and primary schools," the person in charge said.
Lai Aie, the principal of Hangzhou Xingzhou Primary School, told reporters that male teachers account for about 25% of the total. , a relatively insignificant male teacher may give children more room to grow.
Written tests and interviews are the only way to apply for teachers in addition to the "hard levers" required for recruitment.
The recruitment of teachers in Hangzhou also pays attention to the teaching practice ability of candidates.
For example, in the recruitment of teachers in Chinese, mathematics, English, science and social subjects, it is necessary to conduct a trial lecture test to test the applicant's language expression ability, comprehensive analysis ability, emergency response ability, classroom teaching ability and relevant professional basic knowledge.
The relevant person in charge of the Personnel Office of the Hangzhou Education Bureau found that among the teachers who apply for jobs every year, there are more graduates who apply for teaching positions in English and fine arts than those who apply for Chinese, mathematics, and science. high, and the employment opportunities for art majors are relatively narrow.”
However, in the evaluation standard system of the Hangzhou Education Bureau, to be a good teacher, only subject professional ability is not enough, but also knowledge of psychology and pedagogy.

For example, the person in charge said, if a female teacher is wearing a set of trendy clothes today, she must go to the classroom in advance to release the curiosity of the students.
"Otherwise, it would be against child psychology to wait until class. Children spend at least half of the class focusing on your clothes. As for what the teacher said, they don't know."
Lai Ai'e, who has been teaching for more than 30 years, said that from the school's point of view, she wants to recruit teachers who really like students, have a sincere love for education, and have solid professional knowledge and wisdom.
At Sin Chew Primary School, a graduate student who came back from studying in the UK applied as an English teacher at the school last year.
Lai Ai'e said that this English teacher is very suitable to be a teacher. He himself loves education, and he greets students every day when he sees them. He is very devoted in education and teaching and is deeply loved by students.
"It can be said that wherever you go, you bring joy to wherever you go."
Today, Sin Chew Primary School conducts a teacher satisfaction survey among students every year.
Lai Ai'e believes that a teacher's popularity with students can tell whether his classroom culture is interesting, tasteful, and interesting in class.
"A relaxed, enjoyable and rewarding classroom is an important factor in attracting children to come to school."
The century-old plan is education-oriented; the education plan is teacher-oriented.
In the opinion of the person in charge of the personnel department, the profession of a teacher is a job with emotions, not only enthusiasm, but also the ability to transform emotions into the ability to solve puzzles.
"There is a teacher full of poems and books, but no one likes to listen to them in class. This is not a good teacher." The person in charge said that a high-level teacher is the one who knows how to use the language that the students can understand and in an acceptable way. Teach him what he knows.
He reminded candidates that teachers' cognition of education is more important. "Whether you love education and whether you have teacher-related qualities are the primary conditions for becoming a good teacher." (End)
