early childhood is a critical stage in a person's growth. from a "child king" to an outstanding teacher in beijing, wu bei, a teacher at the fourth kindergarten in yanqing district, has always adhered to her original intention, nurturing every child with respect, love and patience, and escorting their healthy growth. while leading the class, she also innovates teaching and research, explores more scientific and effective education methods, and contributes to promoting the balanced development of early childhood education.
choosing to enter the early childhood education industry because of love
wu bei, 39 years old this year, has been engaged in early childhood education for 13 years. when asked why she chose this profession, wu bei said with a smile: "i have been the 'king of children' since i was young, and i also like to get along with children when i grow up." this pure love became her initial motivation to enter the early childhood education industry.
wu bei believes that early childhood is a critical stage in the growth process. during her studies, she has heard many stories of children who have suffered from psychological problems. the anxiety of these children does not come from learning, but from the deep influence of their original families. "at that time, i couldn't understand why the family would shape or influence the character and even ability of children. it was not until i studied psychology that i suddenly realized it."
because of this, she firmly believes that once potential problems are discovered by contacting the children's original families during early childhood education, timely communication with parents can change the family's educational philosophy or behavior, which will have a positive and far-reaching impact on the children's subsequent growth. she hopes that through her own efforts and dedication, she can create a better and healthier growth environment for children, so that they can walk more firmly and confidently on the road ahead.
cleverly resolve the "thief" incident
in wu bei's eyes, the most important quality for a kindergarten teacher is to have a deep respect for children. when she was in charge of a class, she once carried out a creative activity - "i am not a thief". it turned out that a child in the class had taken something from another classmate's cabinet, and the other classmates accused him of being a "thief" and said they would call the police to arrest the child.
wu bei told the beijing youth daily that the other children might have said that unintentionally, but it could cause emotional harm to that child, who might fall into extreme fear and self-blame, and even his relationship with other children might be broken.
as a kindergarten teacher, wu bei first analyzed in depth why the child behaved in this way. she listened to the child patiently, understood his experience and feelings at the time, and understood that he did not really "steal" things, but took other people's things because he was eager to get the things or because of some misunderstanding. in the process of communicating with the parents, wu bei found that this child had a similar situation when he was in the small and medium classes, but the parents did not handle it well.
"after the parents found out, they just criticized and lectured the child without explaining clearly why he couldn't do that. children of this age don't know that they have to get other people's consent before taking something that belongs to them. in fact, if we just tell them this, everything will be solved," said wu bei.
after understanding the whole story, wu bei told the child that he should use the right way to get what he wants in the future. so she held a charity sale in the class, allowing the children to earn their own "children's coins" and then buy other people's goods. this approach not only protected the children's self-esteem and self-confidence, but also promoted harmony within the class.
incorporating outdoor play into early childhood curriculum
in addition to cultivating ways to get along with children, wu bei has also devoted a lot of effort to the teaching and research work and innovative attempts in early childhood education. she knows that as an excellent early childhood teacher, she should not only care about the growth of children, but also pay attention to the innovation and development of education, and constantly explore more scientific and effective educational methods.
last semester, wu bei actively integrated outdoor independent games into the kindergarten curriculum, focusing on the reform direction of the kindergarten, providing children with a more colorful and natural learning experience. "for example, when playing outdoor games with balance bikes, we will teach children to understand the structure of balance bikes, then learn how to use riding protective gear, and finally explain how to ride balance bikes." she explained that this reform is based on the characteristics of the "promoting sports heart" of the yanqing district fourth kindergarten, aiming to organically combine outdoor independent games with special courses, so that children can exercise their bodies and cultivate their minds while enjoying the fun of games.
in terms of teaching and research activities, wu bei also made bold attempts and innovations. she advocated generative teaching and research activities. "for example, in a generative teaching and research activity, we would first observe the children playing outdoor games, and then organize the teacher team to share videos, photos and other methods to analyze the children's behavior, focus on core issues for discussion, and carry out teaching and research activities in a targeted manner." the change in teaching and research methods is undoubtedly more challenging for the organizers of teaching and research, but it also means that the teaching and research results are more real and feasible, and can better serve actual teaching and improve teaching quality.
as a key teacher at the municipal level, wu bei also has her own studio. she leads the studio members to exchange experiences with key teachers at the district level, discuss hot and difficult issues in education, and share advanced educational concepts and teaching methods. at the same time, she also actively participates in the kindergarten's hand-in-hand activities, regularly leads teachers from supporting kindergartens, private kindergartens, and township kindergartens to share experiences and guide support work, and fulfills the responsibilities and missions of an excellent kindergarten teacher with her own practical actions, contributing her own strength to promoting the balanced development of early childhood education.
