------ Summary of Gansu Dangchang Supporting Education

 Xu Xiang

Holy primary three-week event to support education in Gansu Dangchang end, looking back to a Role in twenty days, can not help but be filled with emotion. The Dangchang trip, although difficult, but fulfilling, truly become a spiritual education of my trip. Where the teacher, where the volunteers, the children there, where simple classroom, gave me a good lesson ideological education classes, so my heart was shocked, thinking I was cleaned up. Zu Guodong western economic and educational gap is too great, western education, we should do? Should be a good reflection.

a careful preparation, looking into the western sun

to support education activities in this western part of Beijing Sunshine Rural Development Foundation, another sun Education Action Organization. Western Sunshine Rural Development Foundation was established in 2006, is dedicated to improving education in western rural community development and the promotion of private foundations west. 2009 winter vacation, summer vacation, has successfully held two primary organizations of Mathematics Teachers of English training. This year, they organized a Dangchang County elementary school language teacher training. I am honored to participate in this educational action western sun. Responsible for the training program director to the west over the sun to tell us: Dangchang is the poor counties, educational philosophy is relatively backward. Where the weak foundation of primary school teachers in Dangchang County, to teach primary school language teachers is relatively the weakest, and the worst language teachers to teach first grade, some schools no one willing to teach first grade, have been without teachers. Grade teacher turns to look at other classes. First year is laying the foundation year, such an important year, with such a situation, how can students learn better play based on how firmly it? Where the double-pass in their rate of only 22.3%. Such a low figure, so we were shocked. We are also deeply feel that the major task to support education. Therefore, in accordance to ultra-director's request, we divided six thin good work, from low-middle and high school textbooks of general training in language, reading instruction, oral communication and teaching assignments, low-grade literacy instruction and phonetic aspects of teaching and class construction have carried out a full study and lesson preparation. Lectures observation and evaluation time and time again, time and again met to discuss, again and again easy to draft final, not the slightest slack. I share the task has three: First Class Evaluation; Second, the class teacher and classroom management skills building; third is in grade language reading instruction. My own teaching practice, access to a lot of information, carefully prepared a total of about eighty thousand words or so of the script. Look forward to, come into the western sun education. Second snow

leave, threw himself into training activities

3 月 9, Department of Education with our six-member delegation led by exhortations and heavy responsibility, and finally went. Morning bad weather, cold air to float the snow. There were numerous snow grew larger and larger, it seems to catch for us off.

sat for nearly thirty hours in the train, we arrived in Lanzhou. One night in Lanzhou, and then take car, and sat for more than eight hours in at 16:30 on the 11th or so, we finally reached the Dangchang. We live in the Experimental High School Dangchang County dormitory upstairs. Experimental High School at 5.12 Dangchang County earthquake damaged school buildings, which is being rebuilt. Campus potholes, gravel everywhere, it is difficult of access. The school has more than twenty classes, nearly a thousand students. We live in the dormitory building just completed, not yet put into use, so no water upstairs, the room is very cold, no heating, and no television, and can not access. Water to go downstairs to the courtyard carrying water. We again lived a student life. However, dorm supplies to wash over gave us a very full preparation, each also has an electric bed. As to the situation when we have the understanding of Dangchang have made adequate preparations, we do not feel how hard.

the dust does not block the way of our passion. Work is about to begin. Participate in the training of language teachers from eleven Longnan City counties, a total of one hundred people. Low-middle and high school in accordance with paragraph three is divided into three classes. First, for the three demonstration classes, and observation and evaluation, we show the low in the high section of the demonstration lesson. Is divided into sections and then teaching school counseling and a variety of seminars. They are basically a class, alternating between each class speakers, but also when the class teacher. Sometimes a half-day talk, sometimes about a day. No class, the teacher can stay in class and students communicate and listen to their feedback, good and timely modify their own handouts. Working Hours: 8:00 am --- 12: 00; 2:30 --- 6: 00. In the morning a morning reading,UGG boots cheap, and we in turn led the teachers, or poetry, or read the text back.

despite heavy task of study and training, but Dangchang teachers are highly enthusiastic to learn, so we really moved and impressed. Most of the old teachers of teachers, young teachers seldom. Many teachers are fifty years old. Some teachers Dangchang very far away from home, all mountain, the car but also most of the day. Some of the teachers outside the cities and counties in the car because there is no direct need midway to two days to reach Dangchang. In class, teachers listen carefully, carefully taking notes, do not know to ask. What knowledge is most needed, want to learn something, to tell us directly. I talk with them after class, the teacher said: Xu, big deal you do not say more, is about a lot, we may not listen to, you should tell us exactly how these texts on which links and steps. They wait for a text I gave each of them say again. So I constantly adjust their own lecture material. Teachers and I agreed: they when the students, I as a teacher, give them the whole process of demonstration lessons. My lectures on the teaching of reading into a display reading teaching cases. I give teachers on the three demonstration classes: Three classes down, on a total of nine demonstration classes. Teachers and students alike, read the text, answer questions, meticulous, experience the whole process of teaching. My side of the school, while also Lessons to why the design of these teaching explained to them one by one, so that teachers are convinced, suddenly. When the day of the class was over, though tired thirsty, tired, but seeing the way teachers are satisfied, all the fatigue disappear, happy and pleasant welled up from the bottom of my heart, I think this is worth it to pay labor.

three learning exchanges, touching the teachers moved

a few days of training classes, and teachers who Dangchang morning till evening, learn from each other exchanges. I deeply feel the teachers have a strong desire to learn. Their classes during the day and at night there are jobs, writing experience writing experience, but never bored. There is such a positive attitude towards learning teacher education how can we not just around the corner Dangchang it? In fact, this thick atmosphere of learning, from the moment we entered the Dangchang felt since. Into Dangchang situation, publicity and education posters everywhere: on anything, not poor education, no matter how tough the child can not be bitter. Ten trees, takes a hundred years. Knowledge to change fate. And so endless.

training teachers in all of them, the oldest was a group of Wenming teacher. He is a Muslim, always wore a white hat, wearing a pale gray tunic look. Stumpy body, blushing in the pan-black, to see that living in high altitude mountains, the sun was red direct sunlight. His school attendance very seriously, remember there are many notes, up to answer questions very positive, but not Mandarin, speak the local dialect, at first I could not understand a word. But every time the teachers regarded the most enthusiastic applause given to him.

of class, he took the initiative to communicate with me up. I asked him: br>
54-year-old an old teacher, even to teach first grade, also contain classes, I can not help but respect. > He shook his head, Xiaohe He said: the. No whining, no complaining, still in a good mood, as a matter of course and very normal thing. I could not help him a thumbs-up. He waved his hand, laughed again. Red face, like the chrysanthemum in full bloom.

He also said that education is lagging behind the mountains, he was willing to participate in this training and would appreciate the opportunity, wanted to learn more knowledge, better go back and teach children.

and Li in the conversation. I also learned that his school in a mountain on. Only three teachers in schools, a total of three grades. Him to attend the training, the children had to be placed on the class, so that the other two teachers take turns watching the children go back after the extra lessons. Dangchang from his school to have more than a hundred in the mountain, to go for several hours. He was staying with relatives at home, could not bear to spend that money. What a simple teacher

ah! Think his heart is filled with his students, there is no rhetoric, ambition, and some just plain Fanfan and silently pay.

admiration, moved from the bottom of my heart spontaneously. There is a spirit that never fade, there is a mind is without modification. This is the spirit of the teacher ----- Village dedication and want nothing! This is the simple village teacher who mind minimalist ------! Cao Fang

from Longnan City and County of the West, a female teacher, 33 years old. Is a relatively young teacher trainees. Her tall, tall, short hair, a neat appearance. Her second class, listening to speak very positive. She stopped me after class and talk to me, she said: do not have confidence to do things quite right. After listening to your teacher lecture, that I feel great, a teacher should learn to appreciate themselves, to be confident. In order to exercise their courage, I am ready to participate in 19 presentations, you see me all right?

results the morning of the 19th, she really took to the podium. She dressed a bit of a touch of makeup, look younger beautiful. Her topic is

took office, we gave her a warm applause. She speaks very emotional, was very familiar with the manuscript back, plus the action. Her face is very rich, while frowning, close your eyes while a smile. But tensions still quietly came, we saw her take the manuscript of the trembling of the hands go on, legs involuntarily shiver up. She felt it, and tried to keep his hand on his chest, but the body is still shaking involuntarily. We use the most enthusiastic applause to encourage her. Although nervous, but her speech and is not jammed, the tone is still self-assured, the language is still smooth. Passion bursting in a trembling voice, self-confidence are the words flow accumulation. The hands of the action did not forget, open hands paddled arc fixed in the air, ending a speech.

down, she can not be immersed in the excitement of their own, but the confident smile on her face had been filled, so bright, so the sun! Later she said to me: success, she has regained self-confidence. I sincerely wish her confidence harvest, harvest success, and her even more happy than this it?

few days ago, she sent me a text message: of praise, I was encouraged greatly increased self-confidence, thank you! Many of them teachers these days I sent a text message, and some talk about learning gains, and some express sincere gratitude to share deep feelings really got me moving. Gansu has made me feel this trip is not wasted your effort. To ultra-director of the western sun in the training graduation ceremony, said the training, feedback and learning from the students, is one of the most successful previous training. This sentence is for our trip to the West the best compliment.

four dedicated West, and write a song

the volunteers to support education in Gansu, we most admire and moving those volunteers. I had never come into contact with volunteers, little is known about the volunteers. 5.12 only in the Olympic Games and during the earthquake on television to see volunteers busy on the newspaper's figure. Today, when we support education and volunteer Dangchang morning till evening, saw their lives and work, we are group of young volunteers deeply impressed. They are Western Sunshine Rural Development Foundation, Beijing's long-term recruitment of volunteers and temporary volunteers. The organization's Dangchang County Primary School Teacher Training in 2010, relatively large, the western sun is also transferred from Tianshui, Gansu five volunteers. Some volunteers are from the Internet to see the lack of teachers in Gansu information Dangchang mountains after their own initiative to when the volunteers. As the density of the development from Shandong Chi Tao, the most backward in Dangchang Xinghua rural poor to support education more than two years. As we go Shihmen Xinghua Primary School Teaching, not a little reward, dwelling in the low, crumbling house Tsuchiya, his selfless dedication to youth. They are the most difficult working conditions, the worst living conditions, are doing the most work are the most bitter tired. However, our incredible is they are very happy, meaningful, never feel bitter, working together with passion, threw himself into, often sleepless nights, but no the slightest complaint. Our training class, they gave us teachers and students services. For our grocery shopping, cooking, cooking, cleaning,Discount UGG boots, good logistics, led the afternoon before class and students interact with teachers to do activities and games. Night, to have regular meetings over, sum up the day's work, and timely feedback, to identify weaknesses in a timely manner to modify, to seek perfection. The leadership of their super is strict with themselves, the old fever the first week she had a cold, she drips on his own in the dormitory, while drip edge meeting. We saw tried to persuade her to pay attention to the body, to the hospital to see. She laughed and said: 2004 began as a volunteer, program director for the current western sun. China Youth Cadre Management College graduate. 08 have been admitted to the country to give up the civil service - the work of Beijing Customs, Beijing decided to join the western sun. She said, forever. Beijing Customs, how excellent work, that there is no nostalgia, really is to wow us. To Chao, a thought has to pursue ideals of modern youth!

volunteers, some from Hong Kong, some from the heart of the city, and some family conditions are favorable, some are the only children at home, some students still in school. (Like Zhao Rui) after they are eighty, but they have to give up these excellent environment of voluntary poverty and backwardness to the mountains, the mountain of education contribute to a force of their own. Life is so hard, working so hard, but without any complaints, excluding pay, selfless dedication, willingly. Their mind, their spirit, their style, the great, noble,cheap UGG boots, that we respect. Who says there is no sense of responsibility upon our eighty, who says there is no dedication, after eighty, eighty who said after a second-generation rich Neets, they are not, they used their own youth in the life of a road painting a heavy pen, writing a chapter of struggle, composing a song dedicated volunteers!

five different things look balanced development of education

the gap in training to over take us to the most remote and backward rural Dangchang - Xinghua to see. Winding bumpy road car for three hours, reached the Xinghua Village. Several decent house without the village, slightly newer houses are 5.12 national reconstruction after the earthquake. Xinghua village in the under the leadership of the Director of Corrections, we first came to the Shek Mun Primary School. When Zhaoxiao Zhang pointed a courtyard and the old walls tell us that this is the Shek Mun primary school, several of our people petrified. This is how the breaking of the house ah! Earthworks courtyard is the entrance into, and I do not know how many years the. Above the entrance gate covered with blue tiles, crumbling, out of a lot of the mud walls, there are many big hole, the door is made of wood, dark, there are several holes. This seems to be able to enter the wind blowing a door to the courtyard. The north is a reconstruction of the board room classroom. Volunteers tell us that the house like a steamer in summer heat and winter cold as ice-cold, stretch is not shot. What side has two classrooms, all Tsuchiya, a low, low, housing some broken hole in the wall, there are a few broken tables, broken horrendous. Eleven o'clock at a time when many bright and sunny outside, burst into the room dark. Well, that is, thirty years ago, Shouguang rural areas can not find such a dilapidated school buildings ah! Our hearts heavy. Soil between the east side of the house that read: multimedia studio. I think, are here with multimedia? I went to look, there are a few broken tables, the so-called multi-media is a television set. Volunteers to support education here, TV is a donor after the earthquake, how can any multimedia ah, sometimes I download some of the county seat of teaching materials online, on television, put off the kids and let the children know more about knowledge . One end of the classroom, but also separated the small one, is the volunteer quarters. Only a small Tukang, with room only for two people. There was a table, is the place where their duties include preparing lessons. In addition to these no longer tolerate anything. Volunteers Chi Tao and Wang Xiaolei development on small flat here.

between the post-disaster reconstruction in that the small board room in the classroom, there are seven or eight children attending classes. Volunteers, Wang said, using the children make up classes on Saturday. We came to the classroom, the children, some in writing, and some in the study. They flushed little face, not some clean clothes did not fit. See some of our formal, Qieqie eye to look at us, some of them chuckle out. These are the children of one to three grades. I asked a little girl around the scarf: What grade you on it? The first few lessons learned? She said the third grade, the fifth lesson learned. She has an essay on the table, written in pencil,UGG boots, I said: I asked: can not afford to say. Zhaoxiao Zhang said, as this primary, the county as well. Our hearts more heavy.

always Xiaohe Wang volunteers, he said: potatoes, fried potato chips on Tuesday, Wednesday, fried potatoes, silk, silk Thursday pepper fried potatoes, steamed potatoes on Friday. good folks here. a school, parents have pulled them into a warm dinner. as the same ah at home! What a simple case, how simple life. Compared to the city after-school enrich the lives of young people, they are so indifferent, are truly awe-inspiring!

way back, we are all thinking, Zu Guodong western economy, education, the difference is very large, the gap is more than two decades. Education to achieve a regional balance, a balanced education in the province, the country's education balanced, long way to go. In contrast, our work is far superior living environment, and sometimes we are not satisfied, bitter and really should not be ah. Cherish our work now, the complaints away, go to class every day with a smile, give yourself to the students to a colleague in a good mood, sinking heart, seriously do everything with heart, this is a meaningful life. Let us always concerned about the country western education for the development of western education to contribute their efforts, would like to booming western education, such as the western sun brilliant!
