In the process of comprehensively constructing well-off society and promoting the modernization, human resources become an important factor to accelerate the process. School education is carrying the dream of eager to accept the high level of education for personal development, also carrying the dream of our country from populous country to human resources powerful country. Excellent talents depends on the quality of education, quality education depends on excellent teachers. Only by establishing a high level, highly specialized excellent teachers, the high quality education and a large number of talented people will come true. Therefore, it is of great realistic significance to carry out the study of excellent teachers, to promote the quality of teachers in our country.Existing researches on excellent teachers are mainly focus on the meaning of excellent teachers, quality structure, influence factors, training methods, international comparison, etc. It has formed the comparatively abundant research results. However, the existing research also exists some deficiencies:1) In the content, it is the lack of characteristic and growth course research about excellent teachers;2) On the way, there are more speculative types of theoretical study than types of practical study;3) On the depth, it is to stay in the list stating opinions, facts, presents the strategy, lack of objective and rational analysis based on the practice. This study focuses on the sample special-class teacher to obtain excellent teachers’ personality traits and growth mechanism by the way of empirical research. We hope to break through the above three aspects.Excellent teachers are the best group of teachers, this is accepted. But there is on standard for judging who is an excellent teacher, no matter in the fields of theory and practice. In order to study the excellent teacher empirically, we need real teachers group as carrier of excellent teacher. This study chooses special-class teachers as carrier. Because of that special-class teacher is recognized by government and society. Special-class teacher belongs to the excellent teacher, but excellent teacher doesn’t have to be special-class teacher. A convenience sample of special-class teacher has a certain practical rationality. This study is based on163special-class teachers of S city for survey and research.On the research methods, this study is given priority to the empirical research methods, such as questionnaires, interviews, etc. The qualitative research methods are complementary, such as life history research, factor analysis method, etc. On the research idea, first of all, based on the existing research results and development and new requirements to teachers, we make the design of excellent teachers, such as designing questionnaire, preparing the interview outline, refining the basic characteristics of excellent teachers, etc. Then we act the study plan, collect, sort out the data and information, and obtain about the conclusion of personality traits and growth mechanism about excellent teachers. Based on the research conclusion, by analyzing the real ways and strategies about teacher training, we put forward the basic strategies and policy recommendations for cultivating and promoting ordinary teachers to grow up to be excellent teachers.This study finds that the growth of excellent teachers is a complex process of interaction of many kinds of factors. Among them, the personality characteristics and growth mechanism are the two most important factors. Personality characteristics are embodied in personality and professional characteristics. Professional characteristics are including of professional understanding, professional knowledge, professional emotion, and professional behavior. Growth mechanism is including of development stages, growth factors, growth power, etc. We also find that teachers’ personality traits are important potential factors, to a certain extent, to determine a teacher become an excellent teacher. Teacher who has these characteristics-such as stable, mature, sense of responsibility, independent, persistent, earnest, strong tenacity, is likely to grow up to be an excellent teacher.Therefore, in the process of teachers’ qualification certification, it has a certain significance to create the teachers’ personality test, for selecting more people who has the potential to enter the teachers, for a large number of excellent teachers appear. In the many of growth factors, teacher culture, important others, critical incident are very important. The principal leadership is equally important for ordinary and excellent teachers. In terms of source of the power, the need of "self-actualization" is the core, professional sense of accomplishment and happiness are important factors to maintain this momentum. This will fundamentally correct real improper idea that teacher training can make excellent teachers. Real training activities have a certain role in promoting the growth of excellent teachers, but the decisive role is from its inherent independent pursuit. Only to arouse teachers’ independent development intrinsic motivation, teachers’ cultivation strategies can really promote ordinary teachers to grow up to be excellent teachers.Therefore, this study tries to put forward the basic strategy about cultivation of excellent teachers, through the way of culture leading, coordinate, system construction, project promotion, teacher training, etc. It also provides the corresponding policy recommendations:equally adhere to the selection and cultivation of excellent teachers; leading the growth of excellent teachers through education thoughts and ideas; respect for the teaching style, adhere to the excellent teachers’ autonomous development; pay attention to communication and learning from each other; improving the system of mechanism, providing display platform; leading the promotion of teachers’ professionalization development through the growth of excellent teachers.
