14 years ago, Zhao Qiyue, who had just graduated with a master's degree in education from East China Normal University, chose to enter a public primary school as a class teacher, and accompanied the children in a front-line teaching position for 7 years. Referring to why she chose to become a teacher at the front line at that time, she said: "I have been systematically studying education theory for 7 years in college, but the true knowledge of education still needs to be found in the front line, through action research, and through learning by doing, we can find real problems and find real solutions." It is precisely because of her recognition and persistence in action research that she can pay attention to some details and problems of children's growth in the process of leading classes, and she can also find real problems. How can we help children with special needs integrate into regular schools? How to make the transition between young and primary schools more scientific and smooth? These two real-world questions have caught her attention and thinking, and she has been looking for answers in action research.
In 2018, by chance, after learning that Hailiang was recruiting talents for related topics at that time, she came to Hailiang with her past practice and thinking, influencing more and more Hailiang educators to use action topics to give Hailiang plans.
How do you make school readiness a truly step-by-step process? How to solve the problems caused by the difference in teaching and education methods between kindergarten and primary school? In the face of these issues, the Qizhi team broke the barriers of traditional school sections through the resource linkage advantages of Hailiang Education, gathered the teaching practice and teacher resources of kindergartens and primary schools under the group, and convened a group of backbone preschool and primary school teachers with rich teaching experience to conduct market research, curriculum seminars, and content polishing.
In the past five years, the Qizhi team has promoted the flow of high-quality educational resources around the vision of common prosperity and the educational proposition of good education for young children. In terms of smart construction, the standardization and informatization of curriculum services are realized through the smart cloud platform, so that more children in underdeveloped areas can share the achievements of education development and Hailiang's high-quality courses on the cloud. In terms of curriculum development, the development of main courses and characteristic courses goes hand in hand; In terms of service mode, it has gradually established a standardized program including courses, teaching materials, teaching aids, supervision, teacher training and other modules, formed a relatively mature operation system that provides integrated curriculum solutions, and also provides Hailiang solutions for early childhood education.
In the past two years, in the face of changes and challenges in the external environment, Qizhi has actively explored new development directions and tried to go overseas. In 2022, the Qizhi curriculum has been implemented in many kindergartens in Malaysia and has been widely recognized, and the China-Malaysia preschool high-quality development exchange conference held in April this year is a milestone event in the development of Qizhi, more than 150 Malay principals visited Qizhi to inspect Qizhi's products and services, which also marks the deeper and more focused cooperation between Hailiang preschool education and the preschool industry in Malaysia.
Wang Jie, director of the after-school business department, said that in the early stage of the team's entrepreneurship, each member has a strong sense of complementing the position, and many teachers in the team not only develop courses, but also run the market and docking business. Everyone not only focuses on their own professional field, but also seems to have become the tacit understanding of the Qizhi team, who has problems to solve and needs support. "Mr. Zhao also mentioned that if one day Qizhi's team members are going to a bigger stage of life with their skills, then this is the best two-way growth and rush for the team and individuals, which also affects every partner of Qizhi," Wang Jie said.
Wang Jieru, deputy director of Qizhi's research department, mentioned that she was initially responsible for Qizhi's brand work, and then gradually got in touch with the business and took on Qizhi's research business, which came from the trust and support of her superiors, and gradually broadened her ability boundaries in the process. Wang Jieru also mentioned that this year's China-Malaysia Pre-school High-quality Development Exchange Conference involves the coordination and co-ordination of various departments within the group and external channels.
"Mr. Zhao pays attention to details in his work but will fully empower us", Wang Jieru said, "This has benefited me a lot, and it has also given me a lot of inspiration to lead the team, because Qizhi has many partners born in the 90s and 00s, they have a lot of ideas and creativity, and they are professionals in their respective fields, and we need to provide them with space to realize their personal ideas and values, so that professional people can do professional things to the extreme." ”
Throughout the course of Qizhi's journey, it is the embodiment of the original intention of education "the unity of knowledge and action", and it is also the practice of Hailiang's insistence on "not only emphasizing corporate benefits, but also seeking social merits", so that high-quality preschool education services can radiate more regions and children. Breaking and standing up again and again, updating and iterating, the Qizhi team has been walking on the road of "action research". There is still a long way to go in the future, but Qizhi believes that although the road is far, the line is coming, although it is difficult, it will be done, and in the future, Qizhi will continue to run on the road to realize the ideal of education.
The tide is flat and the shore is wide, urging people to advance
The wind is blowing, and there is something to do
Those who chase the light become the light themselves
