every morning, when liu xiaoqing greets students at the school gate with a smile, he will loudly call out each student's name, take them out of the car, and touch their heads. this kind of positive feedback makes parents who send their children realize that "my child is important."
recently, liu xiaoqing, the principal of luxi county special education school, pingxiang city, jiangxi province, was awarded the title of national teaching and education model in 2024. this honor is closely related to her 28 years of experience in special education.
liu xiaoqing was 25 years old when he came to luxi county special education school from the general school to teach. she used her summer vacation to suddenly learn some sign language, but after school started, this skill was of no use: some hearing-impaired children had never learned sign language and could not understand it, and children with intellectual disabilities could only speak dialects. the communication and interaction between liu xiaoqing and his students "seem to be separated by a mountain", and he is exhausted every day.
in order to change the situation, liu xiaoqing squatted in the classroom after class and took every opportunity to play with the students. when she comes home from get off work, she sits in front of the tv and watches sign language news. when she goes to school, she carries a sign language dictionary with her to read when needed. seeing a girl wearing new clothes, liu xiaoqing joked to her, "come, change clothes with me." the girl shook her head and said, "if you don't want to change, i won't." when she sees students eating snacks, she will "shamelessly" approach them and say, "give some to the teacher." in this way, she gradually narrowed the distance with her students.
teaching hearing-impaired students to speak and read is an arduous task. mastering the pronunciation of each pinyin letter means thousands of practices. when teaching the pinyin "b" and "p", liu xiaoqing read vigorously to a piece of a4 paper. the two students carefully observed the vibration caused by the sound on the paper. she asked the students to put their hands on their throats and abdomen to feel the vibration of the vocal cords and the strength of the airflow; she put a tongue depressor on the students' tongues and taught them how to use their tongues hard when pronunciation. facing a group of special children, it is difficult for liu xiaoqing to appreciate the glory of having students all over the world. however, even if a student makes a small progress, such as learning to call "mom", she and her colleagues will have a sense of accomplishment.
there is a pair of black high-heeled shoes in the drawer of liu xiaoqing's office. the shoes are not a fashionable style at the moment, but she has always treasured them as a treasure. after graduating, a hearing-impaired student used his first month's salary to buy this pair of shoes for liu xiaoqing. liu xiaoqing is reluctant to wear them, and sometimes takes them out to look at them to encourage himself to "take the path of special education well."
normally, liu xiaoqing would tell his colleagues not to bring bad emotions to school, but to show the positive side to students. whenever she sees a student who is wearing thin clothes or is not in a good mood, she will ask about it. she also worries about the student's food, clothing, housing, transportation, eating, drinking, and other issues. there were students who lived in other counties and could not go back on weekends, so liu xiaoqing took them home to eat and live with his own children. this lasted for several years.
there are more than 100 special children in the school, and each child's situation is different. some children run out as soon as class begins, some are irritable, irritable, and often engage in extreme behaviors. there are also children with intellectual disabilities who take apart straw mats and stuff them into their ears... liu xiaoqing understands that, unlike ordinary school students, these special children children need to develop self-care abilities and accumulate some life experience.
many courses in the school are derived from life, such as labor classes. the labor base is next to the playground. when planting tomatoes for the first time, some students picked three unripe green tomatoes. liu xiaoqing believed that the root cause was the students' lack of common sense in life. she called several class teachers to the labor base and asked them to tell the class about the growth process of tomatoes from green to red, and told the students, "green tomatoes cannot be eaten."
liu xiaoqing will pay special attention to the reasons behind each student's behavior and teach students in accordance with their aptitude. this teaching method continues in this special education school.
once, several volunteers tried to plant beans at the school labor base, but found that the bean seeds were eaten by birds. the second time, they took some plastic cups to cover the bean seeds until bean sprouts grew. after this incident, liu xiaoqing brought the students to the base, pointed at the plastic cups and asked, "what should i do with these cups after use?" the students replied "throw them away." liu xiaoqing told them that although this solved the problem of birds eating bean seeds, it also created a new problem of plastic pollution. liu xiaoqing led her students to plant beans for the third time. this time she found a field overgrown with weeds and waited for bean seedlings to grow before she started loosening the soil, weeding and preparing the land. the weeds disturbed the bird's view, and the bean seedlings to grow up safely. if the order of planting beans is changed, the problem will be solved.
afterwards, the students went back to paint, and a hearing-impaired boy named zeng named his painting "naughty lentil." he explained, "when we peeled the beans, the beans fell everywhere. didn't we look like a naughty child?" liu xiaoqing said with surprise that after a series of inspiration and training, the students gained life experience, experienced the joy of labor, and developed their hands-on and observation abilities.
the school motto of luxi county special education school is "make a little progress every day." these seven words are also liu xiaoqing's feelings about the cause of special education. she hopes that school teachers can look at the learning of these "broken-wing angels" with the eyes of discovery and appreciation. , every bit of progress in life, and strive to help them "take a step forward" with love and ingenuity. liu xiaoqing said: "if teachers and students work together towards the goal, there will definitely be progress, even a little bit."
