Rebirth: Starting from a Trainee Teacher

Chapter 65 High praise
When it was time for class, the teachers and leaders who were attending the class arrived at Class 1, Grade 1 on time. They brought their own benches and entered the classroom after greeting Zhou Jing at the door. There were ten people and five sat on each side of the corridor.

Seeing such a large lineup, the students realized that this class was very important to the math teacher and they all paid close attention.

"Attend class."

"Hello teacher."

"Hello students, please take a seat."

Zhou Jing walked up to the podium, holding onto the desk, and scanned the entire class. His gaze passed over Zhao Xin and Kong Fangfang, and he noticed the faint smiles on their faces. He almost got scolded in public.

Like Zhao Xin, Kong Fangfang also loves to laugh, making her seem approachable.

What Zhou Jing remembers most about Kong Fangfang is that her face was always red when she talked about certain knowledge in high school biology class. Kong Fangfang had fair skin, so her blushing was particularly obvious. But even when she blushed, she could still speak seriously and in detail. She was a little shy, but she could also say thousands of fierce words to attack another person.

After taking a look at the textbook on the desk, Zhou Jing decided not to flip through it. He knew very well in his mind that flipping through the book would disrupt his rhythm. Zhou Jing had not flipped through the book many times in class since the start of the school year and had long been accustomed to giving lectures without looking at the book.

"In the last class, we talked about some basic characteristics of quadratic functions. Now let's review what we need to study about a quadratic function, or what characteristics do we need to study?"

Zhou Jing quickly adjusted his state and went straight into teaching mode without saying a word to the leaders and teachers.

"Vertex coordinates, axis of symmetry, graph, domain, range, monotonicity, parity."

"Very good. To fully understand a quadratic function, we must first understand each of these characteristics thoroughly. Let's study its basic characteristics in detail today."

"When studying a function, its image is very important. We can use its image to obtain useful information, or use known conditions to find a way to construct an image. Through the image, we can study unknown information more intuitively and better. What information can you get from the first image?"

"a is greater than 0"

Zhou Jing wrote on the blackboard as he spoke. He wrote the title "Quadratic Function" at the top, and then drew sketches on the left and right sides of the blackboard for cases where a was greater than 0 and less than 0 respectively.

Without the help of a ruler, Zhou Jing drew the image as if he had drawn it with a ruler, the straight line is a straight line, and the parabola is a parabola.

The atmosphere in the classroom was very active and students actively answered every question Zhou Jing asked.

The leaders and teachers who were attending the lecture took notes while watching.

Just a few minutes into the class, the leader had a preliminary recognition of the level of Zhou Jing, the trainee teacher. The young man's blackboard writing was beautiful, even better than that of most of the veteran teachers. He could draw fluently without the help of any tools. His lectures were clear and focused, and he was calm and composed when standing on the podium.

She doesn't look like a trainee teacher with no teaching experience at all.

The other teachers couldn't help but follow the boy's thoughts on the podium, listening and thinking, and they all felt like the new generation was pushing the old generation forward.

On the blackboard, Zhou Jing combined different images to deduce the specific characteristics of the quadratic function, and then connected them through a mind map to express the different characteristics in a vivid and intuitive way. As long as the students listened carefully, they could understand it at a glance.

The director of the teaching and research section who was listening to the lecture considered the division of subjects and asked Zhou Jing to lead the science experimental class. This young man was worthy of being ranked first in the school in mathematics in the college entrance examination that year. He is indeed a talented person.

It is a pleasure to listen to the lectures of excellent teachers. I always feel that time passes quickly. Students who listen carefully hear the bell for the end of get out of class without realizing it.

"That's all for today, get out of class dismissed."

Zhou Jing was not in a hurry to leave the classroom as he needed to sign the lecture record of the teacher who was listening to the class.

"Xiao Zhou spoke very well."

The director of the teaching and research department came to the podium first and gave Zhou Jing a high evaluation.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Director. I will continue to work hard."

Zhou Jing's answer was very modest, and his word choice was clever. He used "encouragement" instead of "praise." Both words sound fine, but if you taste them carefully you will find that the meanings are very different. Using "encouragement" can better elevate the image of a leader.

"great, good luck."

The director of the teaching and research department showed an appreciative smile on his face, patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder and left the classroom.

Zhou Jing noticed that in addition to the lecture notes, the director also had an assessment form in his hand.

"I want to give you full marks, but I'm afraid you'll become proud."

Zhao Xin smiled and gave the lecture notes to Zhou Jing for his signature.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Zhou Jing took out a pen and signed quickly. There were other teachers behind him, so the two didn't talk much.

Kong Fangfang smiled and said, "The disciple is better than the master." "There is still a lot to learn from the teachers."

"."

Compared with other subject teachers who were full of praise for Zhou Jing, the math teacher was a little less enthusiastic. It's the same in any workplace: if a newcomer is too outstanding, it can easily cause imbalance among old employees.

"Is Teacher Zhou nervous with so many teachers listening to your lecture?"

After the other teachers left, the student in the first row asked.

"Kind of."

"I can't bear to erase Teacher Zhou's blackboard writing, it's more beautiful than my notebook."

The student on duty who was wiping the blackboard said as he did so.

"That's right, Mr. Zhou's blackboard writing is pleasing to the eye."

"gone."

One student after another praised him, and Zhou Jing felt embarrassed and left with his book.

"Teacher, what is the homework?"

"No homework."

"I forgot my homework. Please write it down on the class representative. The homework is questions 1 and 2 of the first question, question 1, and questions 3 and of the fourth question."

Zhou Jing had not originally planned to assign homework, but since the student mentioned it, it would be unfair to not assign homework to such a studious student.

"Bai Nini, let you keep talking."

“Isn’t it okay that I love learning?”

As expected, everyone in the classroom complained to Bai Nini, but Bai Nini looked nonchalant.

Passing by the door of Class 2, there were students playing basketball in the corridor. One of them was dribbling with his back to Zhou Jing, and his shoulders were shaking at the same time. The two movements gave Zhou Jing a familiar feeling.

"Teacher Zhou is still filming from behind."

"Teacher Zhou, I was wrong."

Li Bo quickly put the basketball away.

"If you know you're wrong, you should correct it."

Zhou Jing patted the student on the back with a book. It was not unreasonable for the school to stipulate that students could not play basketball in the teaching building area. There were certain safety hazards in playing basketball in the teaching building and classroom. The first floor was okay, but on the third and fourth floors, a basketball falling and hitting someone on the head was no joke, and breaking glass and falling from a high altitude was even more dangerous.

In places where people gather in large numbers, small dangers that could have been ignored are often magnified many times. Zhou Jing once did not understand many of the seemingly exaggerated rules and regulations in schools and society. After witnessing various strange events, he realized that no rule is redundant.

Since homework has been assigned to Class 1, Class 2 must also be assigned the same homework, Zhou Jing said to the entrance of Class 2.

"How did Zhou Jing manage not to read during class?"

Zhao Xingang asked the students in front of him in class and was very impressed to learn that Zhou Jing hardly ever reads books during class. She has been a teacher for several years and can be said to know all the knowledge points of high school chemistry like the back of her hand, but knowing them yourself and giving a lecture are two completely different concepts. It is very easy for her to maintain coherence for a whole class without reading books.

“Maybe I have a better memory.”

Zhou Jing didn't know how to explain.

"This form is for students who are registering to join the school flag guard. The requirements are that they must be male, over 1.75 meters tall, and not be overweight. This form is for those who are registering to give speeches at the flag-raising ceremony. There are no special requirements."

Yang Wenwen gave Zhou Jing two tables and explained.

Zhou Jing listened and nodded, then took a pen and marked it on the table.

After finishing her business, Yang Wenwen hesitated, picked up her phone, edited a text message and sent it to Zhou Jing:

[Are you busy at noon? My mom made dumplings. If you are free, come to my house for dinner.]
