News 1+1丨Beijing implements the "Teacher Rotation" system. Listen to what the experts say →
On August 25, Beijing officially released the implementation rules for the exchange and rotation of outstanding principals and teachers under the "double reduction" policy.
Regarding the pilot implementation in Beijing, what questions remain to be answered?
How to form a real system?
News 1+1 invited Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Education Working Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee and spokesman for the Municipal Education Committee, and Chu Zhaohui, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences, to pay attention to: teacher rotation, what does Beijing do?
The implementation of a rotation system for outstanding teachers, students may not feel much in the new semester, and will have a great impact on mobile teachers
Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and spokesperson for the Municipal Education Commission:
Experienced parents and classmates will feel that there will be some teacher adjustments after the beginning of school, because this includes after the graduation grade teacher sends their children away. It will be redeployed to the starting grade. In this process, children can feel that there may be teachers who are not the teachers of the original school.
In fact, the influence on the teachers participating in the flow is relatively large. After all, teachers have to cross a campus or cross a school to another school to accept certain challenges.
Rotation of outstanding teachers in Beijing: There are both backbone and special-grade teachers, as well as post teachers suitable for after-school services.
Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee’s Education Working Committee and spokesperson for the Municipal Education Commission:
Through years of exploration and experimentation, in the process of teacher cadre mobility, we not only circulate according to the level of the teacher’s title or the level of honor, but also according to Circulation position demand.
For example, in the context of the "double reduction" policy this time, we are more concerned about how to play a role at the subject group and grade group level. Therefore, in the selection process of personnel transfer, there are both backbone teachers and special-level teachers, and some are suitable for after-school The service is suitable for teachers of different positions in homework research and examination evaluation research, so the ratio of transfer is determined according to the needs of the post.
Teacher rotation in Beijing, are the teachers willing?
Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Education Working Committee and spokesperson for the Municipal Education Commission:
In fact, in the process of rotation, we fully consider the relationship between the teacher’s feelings, his business growth, the quality of the school’s service, and the actual gains of students .
So why do we propose to rotate within the region this time?
Especially in the past, the more mature group school running and the rotation of cadres and teachers within the school district, it is to coordinate and take into account the development needs of teachers in terms of the living space and job flow of teachers.
Of course, the key point is that we are also an important guide and lever for teacher performance appraisal and honor recognition.
Are the parents willing to rotate teachers in Beijing?
Moderator: The
students took the test from this school. As a result, the high-quality teachers of this school moved to the branch school. Are the parents willing or not?
Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and spokesperson for the Municipal Education Commission:
We particularly understand that parents may have such guesses and feelings. Although parents do not directly face teachers to have such exchanges, in fact, four or five years ago, In accordance with the overall deployment of the Central Government and the Ministry of Education, Beijing’s school district management and group school management have basically achieved full coverage, that is, every single school is within a school district and education group.
So our parents can feel that a child is sent to a school, but in fact the educational resources he gets, including courses and teacher services, may be the content provided by a region or group.
This is what we are specifically talking about today. In the process of changing from a single school supply to a regional group supply, the balance and flow of education will naturally be realized, and the actual gains of our children will also be obtained from a single school in the past. The resources have become more resources, which should be said to be better.
The high-quality resources of Beijing's top schools are flowing under administrative orders? Or is it really willing to flow based on demand?
Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and spokesperson for the Municipal Education Commission:
This is a very critical issue. In fact, it is not only an operational issue, but also a cognitive issue.
We do not artificially divide schools into high-quality and low-quality schools, but there are indeed differences between different schools in the minds of ordinary people.
In the past period of time, in the process of reforming school districts and grouping schools, the principals have actually had a unified ideological understanding. No school’s resources and teachers are owned by a school, nor are they The only ones are to provide educational resources and services for a wider range of students and education.
Therefore, in the transformation from a single school to a school district and grouping, the ideas and positions of these teachers and principals have moved from the so-called high-quality and top-notch of a single school to a broader space.
Now that we are able to carry out such a flow, it is precisely on the basis of this understanding that we can proceed smoothly.
Beijing will promote the rotation of cadres and teachers on a large scale, can it solve the problem of "hot" school district housing?
Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and spokesperson for the Municipal Education Commission:
In fact, education has a great impact, connecting thousands of households, but in the process of advancing, we have paid special attention to the "double reduction" between the central government and Beijing. The document does not directly mention the flow of cadres and teachers, but we are concerned that a series of reforms such as homework reform and after-school service reform are all promoted by people, and this flow of personnel and the overall improvement of quality services must be promoted.
In such a process of advancement, the parents' understanding of the reform of the education supply-side structure will definitely affect his choice of school, the identification of school district housing, etc. I believe it must have a defusing effect.
However, promoting teacher rotation, focusing more on the construction of a high-quality education system and better serving children, will naturally bring about corresponding changes in the surrounding environment and resources.
Teacher rotation in Beijing is now in the school district, but can it be achieved across school districts in the future?
Li Yi, deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Education Commission and spokesperson for the Municipal Education Commission:
This is a problem that we have always felt difficult. Indeed, in the exploration and practice in Beijing, we have transferred teachers from Haidian and Dongcheng to Yanqing or Miyunyuan. In suburban counties, one year or three years is good, but the actual results are not very successful. On the one hand, it affects the overall quality of the teacher's life and work, on the other hand, the matching degree between students and teachers may not achieve the desired effect. Therefore, for cross-regional long-distance cadre and teacher mobility, the online "dual-teacher classroom" form is mainly adopted. Then rely on local teachers, and at the same time transfer the service attributes of high-quality educational resources in the urban area through informational means, and guide local teachers to continuously improve the level of school running, thereby improving the service level of the entire education. We feel that this may be a new era of high construction. An effective method in the quality education system.
