School characteristics of the project speech

Promoting the art of paper-cutting to create a school of specialties

We all know that the creation of schools of specialties is to take the road of connotative development of education, the need to comprehensively promote the quality of education, the need for social transformation on the development of education and training of talents, and the need to implement the scientific concept of development of education. But how can we reflect the characteristics, how can we create a strong school brand? This is our school has long been thinking about the problem.

In this regard, I believe that to create a suitable school brand, must first of all should recognize the school's survival environment, positioning the school's development strategy, selecting breakthroughs, creating features, so that the school brand has a distinctive personality color. This should be the way to create a school brand, create a unique school.

One of the characteristics of the school's positioning

To locate the characteristics of the school's development strategy, first of all, it is necessary to carry out a strategic analysis, to expand the ideas, correctly recognize the self.

From the macro-environmental conditions, the creation of the school brand to grasp the educational trend, that is, to grasp the school brand positioning of the times, out of the school to see the school, out of education to see education. Schools should understand the situation of socio-political, economic and cultural development as well as the requirements for talent training, the general trend of educational reform at home and abroad and trends, the basic spirit of educational policies and regulations, and some of the hot spots, key points and difficulties in educational theory and research, and so on. This can avoid the school brand positioning and characteristics of the design of the narrow vision, less detour.

And paper-cutting is one of the most popular folk traditional decorative arts in China with a long history. Paper cutting can be seen all over the country, and even formed a different local style schools. Paper cutting not only expresses the aesthetic preferences of the masses, but also contains the deep social psychology of the nation, and is also one of the most characteristic folk arts in China, whose modeling characteristics are especially worth studying. As the embodiment of Chinese native philosophy, folk paper-cutting has comprehensive, beautifying and auspicious features in its expression, while folk paper-cutting conveys the connotation and essence of traditional culture with its own specific language of expression.

It is such a profound and popular folk art that is now in danger of being lost. Therefore, it is necessary for us to carry out the activity of learning the art of paper-cutting in schools, to cultivate students' love for the art of paper-cutting from an early age, and to protect our folk treasures.

The strategic positioning of the school brand and the design of characteristics, we also need to analyze the meso-environmental conditions, to consider the social environment around the school. School is not an isolated organization, it is integrated with the surrounding social environment. The humanistic, economic, and natural environments of the community in which the school is located not only put forward corresponding requirements for the school's education, but also affect the strategic positioning of the school's brand and the design of its features. Only according to the objective status quo of the community in which the school is located to formulate the school brand strategy and characteristics of the design, can be practical and realistic, but also to maximize the community's material and spiritual support, but also conducive to the smooth implementation of school management, in order to achieve the brand strategy and characteristics of the design of the school.

In Changhai County, the party government and the county at all levels of the Ministry of Culture to promote the promotion of tourism and cultural brands in the county has been a significant development, whether it is a festival or the usual cultural activities, the art of paper-cutting has always been one of the highlights. For example, in the past years of the Spring Festival, the island's artistic characteristics of the exhibition, lantern exhibition, the National Day and so on, there will always emerge some excellent paper-cutting works, for the people of the county to dedicate a course of fine art feast. In addition, there are many people in the county folk have run a paper-cutting training courses, the social response is also quite good. It can be said that the art of paper-cutting is loved by many children and parents, and the art of paper-cutting has a broad social base in the county.

From the micro-environmental point of view, is to map the school home base. Schools have explicit and implicit family background, past, present and future. Mapping the school's background is not only a summary of the school's history and a judgment of the current situation, but also a prediction of the future development. In a sense, the principal should not only regard the school as a platform for the operation of educational resources, but also regard the school as a stage for his or her own talents and ambitions.

Analyzing our school, I think the art of paper-cutting has the conditions to form a brand in our school. First, some teachers have unique attainments in the art of paper-cutting, with the amount of teachers to carry out this activity; Second, many students in our school have produced their own paper-cutting works, the students' favorite degree is very high, and thus have the students to engage in this activity basis. Thirdly, our school has organized many times for teachers and students to participate in various kinds of paper-cutting competitions at all levels and won a lot of awards, so we also have some experience to engage in some activities. Although the main position of the art of paper-cutting has been in the folk, for our school, the development of relatively weak, to open a good course, set up a good brand, will face some practical difficulties, but we can fight for the power of foreign aid to solve. We can hire teachers with paper-cutting expertise in sister schools as our school paper-cutting teaching instructors, often come to school for training lectures, to open the door to this art for us. At the same time, we can also lead the backbone teachers to the city schools to learn, learn, broaden their horizons, learn from their strengths. Close contact with the Dalian Paper-cutting Art Research Association, active membership, actively participate in the activities of the Association, and learn from the paper-cutting artists with an open mind. It can be said that paper cutting as a school brand, for us, there are no insurmountable difficulties.

In addition, paper-cutting as one of the widely spread folk art forms in our country. With a piece of colored paper and a pair of scissors, you can vividly represent the ever-changing natural forms and express the beauty of your inner world as you wish. It has a great effect on cultivating students' thinking ability, hands-on ability and aesthetic ability. Through the study and appreciation of paper-cutting works, try paper-cutting tools, materials and production process, it can shape the experience of paper-cutting learning fun, method, promote students' artistic perception and appreciation ability, artistic expression and creative ability, form the basic art literacy, and cultivate students' passion for traditional folk crafts. Thus, paper-cutting as part of aesthetic education, its image, infectious and pleasurable can effectively regulate the students' psychology, so that it dilutes the boredom of learning, stimulate learning enthusiasm, mobilize non-intellectual factors, the development of physical and mental potential. Based on this, we can also use beauty as a lead, the beauty of the seepage of virtue, the beauty of the promotion of wisdom, the beauty of the strong body, and then lead the whole situation, the formation of the school's beauty characteristics.

Consolidating the above reasons, the leadership of our school on the basis of extensive research, decided to launch the "paper-cutting art" as our school "a school a product" construction of the brand.

The implementation of the "one school, one product":

To be successful, there must first be a goal. What kind of goal, there will be what kind of choice; what kind of choice, there will be what kind of achievement. As a school brand creation, more should have their own clear and practical goals. School branding is a systematic project that requires careful planning, active coordination, solid development and effective implementation. We want to make the brand of paper-cutting bigger and better, and make it a loud business card of Changhai No. 1 Middle School. We will use paper-cutting activities as a carrier of beauty, and strive to preserve and accumulate the fruits of beauty education through aesthetizing, creating and celebrating beauty. Through the construction of school culture, to further summarize and sublimation of the practical experience of the education of beauty, through the school's healthy and upward spiritual culture and environmental culture to give students a positive influence, infection, inculcation, so that the students learn by ear, implicitly, be educated, so that the children in the education and teaching of paper-cutting, accompanied by the "beauty", healthy and happy! Growing up. To this end, our school combined with the actual situation will be the school paper-cutting brand building goals set:

Make "paper-cutting education" this school brand in the county to have an impact, and drive the school to improve the quality of education.

In order to successfully achieve the above goals, we will take the following measures:

1. Set the direction of development, strengthen the organization and management

It mainly includes campus history and tradition and is recognized by all teachers and staff *** with cultural concepts, values, concepts of life and other ideologies, is a school nature, personality, the concentration of the spirit of reflection. We can integrate the art of paper-cutting, a national treasure, into the spiritual and cultural construction of our campus. We want to make the campus full of paper-cutting art everywhere.

Let paper cutting out of the exhibition room. The school set up a special paper-cutting works display area, hanging excellent works for students to appreciate the exchange. Moral education board to open up "paper-cutting style" plate, by a person regularly updated.

Hanging students' works on the walls, so that every wall of the school can speak, so that every corner of the school can smell the folk art flavor. Let every child get paper cuttings at their fingertips, so that they can live in such a folkloric atmosphere every day.

3. Evaluation from multiple perspectives to promote the process of building a distinctive curriculum

Evaluation is an important part of paper-cutting teaching. Through evaluation, the school verifies the feasibility, effectiveness and educational value of the implementation of the paper-cutting activity course; teachers grasp the realization of the paper-cutting activity teaching plan and objectives, as a basis for improving teaching; students in a timely manner to understand their own ability and level, to know themselves and promote learning. In this stage of evaluation, we focus on the students' creativity and other evaluation according to the requirements of different activities, pay attention to the cultivation of students' interest in learning and creativity, while taking into account the practical operation of the students' basic skills of paper cutting. Evaluation of students' paper-cutting works, we not only require teachers to actively create conditions to strengthen the extracurricular exhibition and competition; we will also actively carry out colorful paper-cutting activities, such as organizing students to participate in the community paper-cutting cultural propaganda to the newspapers and magazines to provide students with works, providing students with a paper-cutting exchanges, the stage of the show.

We plan to bring together small paper-cutting masters from each class to form a development paper-cutting interest group. Refinement of group members, divided into torn paper, paper cutting and carving interest groups, regular targeted focused training to improve the level of paper cutting, as a way to drive the enthusiasm of the whole school teachers and students.
