"Physics A1, Chemistry B1, Biology A1"... Compared with the timetables that only mark the course names, the timetable of Zhang, a graduate of Jinghua 24, is somewhat different. It turns out that Jinghua repeaters implement a tiered class system for the three minor subjects, and the subjects corresponding to "ABC" in the timetable are the class levels of Zhang.

With the increasing demand for personalized teaching from students and parents, whether or not to provide refined and customized teaching based on the ability of each student has become a key indicator for measuring the school management level and competitiveness of schools and educational institutions. In this regard, Jinghua School, as the largest repeater institution in Beijing, is ahead of its peers. This is not only due to its leading student source and outstanding teaching and research level, but also inseparable from the school's philosophy of "making every student a step forward".

The selection of subjects can also be divided into different classes, so that teaching in accordance with students' aptitude can be truly fully covered

It is understood that the class division method of Jinghua Repeating is slightly different from that of other repeating institutions. It does not rely solely on the overall scores of students, but comprehensively considers the total scores of Chinese, mathematics, and foreign languages ​​as well as the performance of students in elective subjects, accurately grasps the characteristics and needs of each student, and provides them with more personalized teaching plans in each subject.

In the elite repeater school, students need to pass a positioning test as soon as they enter the school, and are divided into different classes according to their total scores in "Chinese, Mathematics and English". From the top "elite class" to the basic class, the school generally divides a level at around 20 points, and then matches the corresponding teachers, and finally covers student groups at all levels. Taking the "elite class" students as an example, it is aimed at high-scoring repeaters whose college entrance examination scores in Beijing are within 10,000 and are committed to Tsinghua University, Peking University and "985" universities.

In addition, Jinghua Repeat School also implements a stratified class system for elective subjects. For example, in the subject of chemistry, there are classes of different levels such as "ABC", so that students can enter the appropriate class according to their actual level and carry out personalized teaching. He Yanli, principal of Jinghua Education Examination Institute for College Entrance Planning, pointed out that the "3+3" model of the Beijing college entrance examination provides candidates with a wider range of choices, and Jinghua Full-time School, with its leading student source advantage and strong faculty, has become the only school in Beijing that fully opens 20 elective subject combinations.

The subject selection and stratified teaching system not only provides targeted improvement opportunities for students with obvious shortcomings, but also provides a certain buffer space for students who are affected by the policy and need to modify their subject selection and start learning from "zero". For example, Ding, a 2024 graduate of Jinghua School, is a beneficiary of this form. She made a mistake in filling out her application, and she made the bold decision to repeat the year. Affected by the "physics and chemistry bundling" policy of this year's college entrance examination, Ding adjusted her subject selection to physics, chemistry, and geography, which means that she not only has to learn chemistry from scratch, but also has to improve her chemistry score to the college entrance examination level within a year.

The differentiated teaching method of Jinghua Repeater just met her needs. "Jinghua's refined class division method is more suitable for me, whose levels in three minor subjects are quite different," said Ding. "After entering the basic-level chemistry class, the chemistry teacher also gave me a lot of help. He assigned me extra exercises to consolidate the basic knowledge and guided me to gradually catch up with my classmates." In the end, Ding achieved a good score of 636 in the college entrance examination this year.

The advantages of large-scale school operation and teaching and research help differentiated teaching to develop steadily and achieve long-term success

According to industry insiders, the scale of a repeater institution is a key factor in the effective implementation of differentiated instruction. Some repeaters have limited scale and can only enroll one or two classes or less than 100 students each year, making it difficult to carry out differentiated instruction in daily teaching.

In contrast, the reason why Jinghua Repeat School has been able to establish a mature stratified teaching system has a lot to do with its advantages in school scale and school management experience. It is understood that Jinghua School has developed from the original "Teachers' Children's College Entrance Examination Tutoring Class" of Beijing No. 4 Middle School. It has more than 40 years of experience in college entrance examination tutoring and 22 years of full-time school history. It has now become the largest repeat school in Beijing.

While expanding its scale, Jinghua has not neglected its pursuit of refined teaching. At present, the school has an annual enrollment of nearly 1,000 students, but the school always adheres to the concept of small-class teaching and strictly limits the number of students in each class; for example, the number of students in a small class is generally controlled at around 18 to ensure that each student can receive adequate attention and guidance, so as to ensure that the teaching quality is not affected.

In addition to the advantages of large-scale school operation, Jinghua's ability to implement differentiated teaching is also inseparable from a strong teaching and research team. As the college entrance examination reform is further promoted, the changes in the trend of college entrance examination questions have put forward higher requirements for teaching and research. In order to accurately grasp the direction of the college entrance examination and help students avoid detours, Jinghua School established the Jinghua Education Examination Research Institute in 2014, which conducts in-depth research on the changes in the college entrance examination and the countermeasures, providing direction for teaching.

In addition, Jinghua also pays great attention to the training and professional development of teachers. The school uses the winter and summer vacations every year to conduct centralized training for teachers, and arranges one day a week for single-subject teaching and research activities to conduct in-depth research on teaching methods and teaching characteristics. At the same time, the school also actively organizes teachers to participate in district-level teaching and research activities to keep up with the latest developments in the college entrance examination.

Xing Jintao, the principal of Jinghua Full-time School, said that the school invites experts to give lectures for a week every August. Recently, the school invited 21 experts, including textbook writers, Beijing teaching and research staff, and professors from well-known universities, to provide teachers with the latest teaching concepts and methods.

In order to further improve teachers' teaching level and their ability to guide students, Jinghua has also implemented a "teacher-student co-examination" system, where teachers and students take the mid-term, final, first and second mock exams in Haidian together, allowing teachers to personally experience the difficulty, question setting angles and rules of the exams, and to have a deeper understanding of the exam situation. At the same time, teachers can also better understand students' psychological state during the exam, thereby providing students with more targeted exam strategies and skills guidance, and achieving "the right medicine for the right disease" in education and teaching.

Zeng Yongzhi also said that the school will continuously improve the teaching level of teachers through quality analysis after the examination, including quality analysis of class teachers and subject teachers, and comprehensive quality analysis of the entire school, so as to bring the school's educational goals to new heights step by step.

The success of differentiated teaching is rooted in the school philosophy of Jinghua School

In the past 40 years, Jinghua School has successfully helped tens of thousands of students enter their ideal colleges and universities, and has sent hundreds of outstanding students to Peking University and Tsinghua University. Behind this, differentiated teaching has played an indispensable role.

Ma, a 24th graduate of Jinghua, said frankly that the school's differentiated teaching has benefited him a lot. "My three elective subjects are all in Class A. The teacher will teach according to the level of our class, with basic explanations and advanced guidance, which allows everyone to consolidate their foundation and get some difficult scores," said Ma. The refined teaching of elective subjects has enabled Ma to increase his biology score from 64 to 85 after one year of study at Jinghua, and his college entrance examination score has also increased by nearly 100 points, successfully jumping from a junior college score to a first-tier score.

Another student who had a similar experience was Zhu, a graduate of the 24th class of Jinghua. His high school ranked third or fourth in Haidian District, but he was unexpectedly ill for more than a month before the college entrance examination, and finally only scored 653 points. What attracted him to repeat his studies at Jinghua was that there were many high-scoring students here, and they were arranged to study in classes of the same level. At that time, Zhu's English was a weak subject, his essays were not written smoothly, and he could not understand the reading thoroughly. The English teacher gave him a book of writing materials and suggested that he compare the essay topics in it every day and complete an essay within a limited time. Every time he finished writing, he showed it to the English teacher, and the teacher would patiently and carefully point out the problems and make suggestions for revisions. This improved Zhu's English score a lot, from 121 points last year to 138 points this year, and his college entrance examination score also improved by more than 2,000 points on the basis of last year.

In fact, the experiences of these two students are not isolated cases in the Jinghua repeater class. According to Zeng Zhiyong, with the help of stratified teaching, some students in the Jinghua repeater class have jumped two levels in history, from the original score line below undergraduate, to the undergraduate score line after one year of repeating; some students have not only reached the undergraduate score line, but even jumped three levels, from the junior college score line to the score line of double first-class universities.

The reason behind these achievements has a lot to do with Jinghua's philosophy of running a school. At that time, the school's founder, Principal Liao Xirui, proposed a slogan - "Let every student move up the ladder." Although it sounds a bit chicken soup and bland, insiders know the weight behind this sentence. As the current principal Liao Zhongyang said, it is not easy to come up with this slogan. It is a kind of delivery responsibility. We must pay attention to each individual and fulfill our promises. "Since Jinghua focuses on full-time education, what we emphasize is to take full responsibility for the children. When parents send their children to Jinghua, we must do our best to ensure that every student can move up the ladder and not abandon anyone," said Liao Zhongyang.

Jinghua does what it says. In the NPS Net Promoter Score survey conducted in schools - that is, a survey asking parents whether they would recommend Jinghua's services to others - the school received a recommendation score of 50 to 60 percent, far exceeding the general recommendation value of more than 30 percent in the service industry, winning the trust of parents. This is also the best affirmation of Jinghua's educational achievements, including differentiated teaching!
