Jindeli Primary School: Introducing the STEM concept to enhance students' core literacy

Every day at 3:30 in the afternoon, I will go to Endri Elementary School and I will find that the class here is not out of school. In the spacious playground and quiet classroom, the students carry out a variety of activities under the leadership of social welfare people, community volunteers, parents and school teachers. This is the "Happy Half-and-a-half" event. Today, Endi Elementary School’s “Happy 3:30 Activity” has been launched for four years and has won unanimous recognition from students and parents. During the visit, the reporter found that the school continued to explore the diversity and effectiveness of the "Happy Half-and-a-half" campaign and introduced the STEM classroom for quality education in the United States.

Burden reduction brings new expectations to make up for the management of the parents

Under the burden reduction order, the primary school will advance the school leave time to 3:30 in the afternoon according to the requirements, which will alleviate the burden of students' work. To a certain extent, it also brings new expectations: many parents are still working, and the children who come to pick up, After receiving the supervision, Han Hongtao, the principal of Endri Primary School, told the reporter that as early as four years ago, the school had already begun to face the management of the “three and a half” after the student’s management period: “We have adopted parental meetings and questionnaires, etc. I have figured out the student pick-up situation and the needs of the parents. Not only the problem of unmanned students picking up the students is more prominent, but also the safety hazards of the students, the parents are very worried. After the school leadership team formed a consensus, we will carry out the happy 3:30 activities of the school. As a breakthrough, we will use the methods of voluntary students and parents to integrate social resources to provide children with a happy learning and healthy growth."

To solve the "three-and-a-half-and-a-half" problem, the school actually faces many challenges: organizing related activities, lack of teachers, no special funds, and the inability to hire teachers. In particular, the safety issues in student activities are even more worrying to teachers. “But the needs of parents are objective. As the school needs to stand up and take on greater responsibility.” President Han said that the school quickly formed the leadership team of the “Happy Half-and-a-half” activity course and the overall curriculum. Design, organize and coordinate and guide the implementation of each department. The teaching office is responsible for curriculum management and teacher training. The Moral Education Department is responsible for the development of off-campus resources and the display of curriculum achievements. The tutors are responsible for formulating the development plan of the curriculum, participating in the curriculum design, demonstrating the advanced selection of activities, and forming a working mechanism for the orderly and effective activities. .

It is under such a mechanism that the enthusiasm of the teachers has been effectively mobilized, and activities such as “Colorful Studio”, “Clay Sculpture”, “Paper Art” and “Little Football Team” have been opened for the students. In addition, the school also actively explores off-campus resources, invites enthusiastic parents and public welfare personnel to enter the school, and uses their professional skills to open a "fun hand puppet", "reciting", "small wood art", "sugar art" and "wudang" for children. "Psychological growth", "Go", "Allegro", "picture book reading", "dragon and lion dance", "pattern skipping rope" and other activities. Hexi District Children's Palace, community volunteers, revolutionary ancestors, college students... The wide participation of all walks of life has made the school's "Happy Half-and-a-half" activities rich and colorful.

Docking American education concept to open up the boundaries of various disciplines

Today, Endri Elementary School’s “Happy Half-and-a-half” campaign has gone through four years, with more than 30 courses in 15 classes and four events per week, one hour each time. Not only satisfied the needs of students with different interests and different levels of development, but also formed a school brand, which gained the reputation of parents and formed a good situation for the joint efforts of home and school.

"We have been thinking about how the content and extension of happiness at half past three can be tapped and extended." President Han told reporters that last year the school leadership team has been doing STEM classrooms and "three and a half classrooms" that highlight the concept of quality education in the United States. After a year of exploration, the new STEM class began to be used after the Spring Festival.

Xu Mengmei, the director of the Endri Primary School, said that the STEM classroom combines the comprehensive abilities of various disciplines in primary schools. Introducing this educational concept is of great benefit to enhancing the core literacy of students. After applying for the project, the school received the strong support of the Hexi District Education Bureau, and allocated special funds for support. After everyone's unremitting efforts, the students of Endri Elementary School finally realized the blending and training of multiple abilities in such an activity class. “The STEM classroom has opened up the boundaries of various disciplines. This also requires teachers from various disciplines to re-integrate educational resources and broaden their educational horizons. For this reason, we have started group preparation for classes very early, especially for mathematics, science and technology, music, information technology and other disciplines. Full of strength, integration, and invited professors from relevant disciplines of Beijing Normal University to come to the guidance.” Director Xu said that after the teachers’ long preparations, the teachers who started mathematics and science in this year took the lead in teaching, not only once again In the "three-and-a-half-class classroom" education vision, it is also planned to include the STEM class in the curriculum to further enhance the core literacy of the students.
